LateDX Autist

I’m in my late 40’s & just now discovering I’m autistic. Trying to learn everything I can. My autistic safe space for now. #ActuallyAutistic

@BGatesIsaPyscho JFK died in 1963. Joe Biden had just turned 21 years old and was a college student. JFK did not call Joe Biden a traitor. This is what we in the normal world call a lie.

I had kind of an epiphany today- our language in the next 20 years will change to something like-

Oh, are you an ADHD prominent neurodivergent or an Autism prominent neurodivergent.

I’m on to something.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

@brainrotSana Very much so. I could never get it. A few year ago my friend told me I was tying my shoe wrong. I asked her the show me how you are supposed to do it and it still won’t stick in my head how to do it the right way.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

@Jinxed_Cosplay @neuro_lou My guess is that they are neurodivergent too, so they don’t follow the dataset you’ve compiled. The one thing I’ve noticed as a late diagnosed autistic is that all the people I’m close to have ADHD.

@autisticinnovat OMG 👀🫣I have 2-4 “comfort” hot drinks a day. I also drink when my head or stomach hurt. And at various other weird times. Mine must just be the act of drinking b/c it’s water or unsweetened tea.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

@CatieOsaurus Yes

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

@mightbeautistic Or the smell of Walmart or the grocery store on their bags? 🤢

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

I have an acute, probably minutes-long special interest. Anyone know what this is?

YOU MIGHT BE AUTISTIC IF:
for 1/2 a day you thought Taylor Swift had on a fur-collared bodysuit.

@Autistic_Lia Everytime I open my mouth. It’s either mumble or yelling.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

I think I figured something out- in my head, my prepared speech, is smooth- “I didn’t know if she forgot about me [laugh]”. But comes out of my mouth “I did ‘n kn-ow if sh-e fer-got about meee or wat”[uhh]”. This I think is my biggest communication problem.

Every time I’ve been friends w/a guy, everyone in the surrounding social situation (school, work, etc) have assumed that I was sleeping with them. (I was in a long-term relationship/married)
1. Eww.
2. Why? What is wrong with these people? Is that literally all they think about?

Do any others have an issue with their personal clocks losing time?

My alarm clock and my car both lose time even after I bought a new alarm clock. No other clocks seem to have an issue.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

@mhh02 @Autistic_Lia But I don’t think we get bullied because we are different. I think we are bullied because other humans are flawed.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

@mhh02 @Autistic_Lia I agree.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

@hannamashima I realized all the people I’m close to are ADHD. I don’t know if I do. I am so curious to see now that my autistic detector is active.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

That’s such a horrible description. But it clears up if you put your head down. I call it Darth Vader, but it’s like the exact opposite of that.
I think it might be related to EDS- maybe a loose ligament problem in the eustachian tube.
Mine is on and off in both ears right now.

[LateDX Autist @OverAndAutist]

Do any other #ActuallyAutistic people have Patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction- where it sounds like your head is in a bucket and you can hear a muffled version of everything your body does including your breathing?
