CURRENTLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA BREAK autistic, linguistics student. I have a Youtube channel.

[jontje @jontjem]

and I’m Autistic on top of a linguist, so I demand details...

@RadicalAutistic If that ‚we‘ is supposed to mean Autistic People: What?
I love performing waaay too much, and of the autistic people I know, many enjoy it or don‘t mind.
I‘d also totally participate.

[jontje @jontjem]

@DeeAutismis I don‘t like having to consciously look at anything for too long. Cameras and other people included.
It takes up a lot of mental energy and ends up being overwhelming, especially if I have to do other things as well, like remember to smile etc. for a photograph.

[jontje @jontjem]

Defenitely. I need 9 hours on average, i regularly sleep 12 hours or more after exhausting stuff.

[jontje @jontjem]

When I was a child I sometimes woke up screaming because of these, I still remember them very vividly, but when I was asked what I’d dreamed about all I could describe was ‘it was smooth and then it was crumply’

[jontje @jontjem]

#AskingAutistics has anyone else experienced nightmares about textures exclusively (no accompanying visual experience etc.)?
Or just generally dreams about sensory experiences without further context?

[jontje @jontjem]

Even though I‘m still kind of on social media hybernation, I still had a video ‚lying‘ around on my computer. So enjoy a not so short excursion on Arrogance.

Premiere, because this is my first requested video ever!

Also it‘s about some strategies for finding comfortable clothes as an #ActuallyAutistic person.

[jontje @jontjem]

I‘m thinking of making a series where I just ramble on about my SpIns for how ever long I feel like it
This might be the first video...

[jontje @jontjem]

School was so exhausting that I needed four years before I could make this video.../sarcasm

For day five, I‘ve collected some of my favourite screen accomodations (or should I say... hacks) for #ActuallyAutistic or otherwise sensory sensitive people.

@autistamatic I see you‘ve jumped on the bandwagon!/humour
(I‘m doing the same thing...)

[jontje @jontjem]

For today‘s video I‘ve collected some Hashtags to celebrate #AutismAcceptanceMonth

That Autism SpIn moment when you haven‘t had humans in that space in the last few days, but have had 8 horses...

I‘ve been continuing rambling about random things I find difficult as an #ActuallyAutistic person. And today I picked restaurants.

This couldn’t be more off topic at the moment, but I had it planned and filmed, so if anyone needs a distraction...

[jontje @jontjem]

Why I get randomly exited about a piece of paper being the ‚correct‘ colour I still don‘t know. But being #ActuallyAutistic might have something to do with it.
Anyways...

@autistamatic but aren‘t presents wrapped in a layer of fear and uncertainty as well? /sarcasm

[jontje @jontjem]

A lot of the time, when I’m burned out and can’t really do stuff, I’m also bored. But I don’t have enough energy to think of something to do.
Enter: this video.

I was editing subtitles today and the youtube algorithm though my name was ‘your chair‘ 🙄

So here’s the new video from your #ActuallyAutistic chair /s

@autistamatic @MxOolong @ireneista @moneybagbuddha @thinkingautism I have the same problem as well. Even with other peoples ‚pet phrases‘.
