Most people: *love buying new things and upgrading their stuff*.
Autistic me: *forms a deep emotional attachment to all my things and feels as though Iโm being unfaithful and cruelly abandoning them if I upgrade them - even if theyโre broken - because theyโre part of my family*.
I want my skin to be extremely even, buttery and soft, I want to be sexy, healthy, wealthy, loved and liked, valued and felt by those who I allow in my world and those who allow me in theirs. I donโt give a fuck about shit else. Lmao
Autistic people have a reputation for fearing change, yet non-autistic people typically fear any changes we suggest, even when those changes would help them. I think autistsโ fear is simply expressed more, as we have extra variables to consider and change is rarely in our favour.
Autistic meltdowns aren't what most people think.
Can it look like a person kicking, screaming, and thrashing around because something happened that was upsetting or unexpected?
Yes, absolutely...
