when my verbal communication channel is occupied with eye contact, nothing else will reach my brain.

for a couple of seconds every now and then in a conversation, the following takes place:

"OK ALARM IS GOING OFF THAT IT IS TIME FOR SOME EYE CONTACT TO SIGNAL FRIENDLINESS, THIS IS WHAT WE TRAINED FOR.
NICE AND EASY NOW.
I AM DOING IT!
THIS IS AN EYE. I WONDER WHAT THIS PERSON IS THINKING. THE IRIS HAS SOME DOTS IN IT? SOME VEINS POPPED.
MAYBE I SHOULD SMILE A BIT.
DONE! I DID IT! NAILING THIS SOCIAL INTERACTION!
CAREFUL MAYBE IT IS TURNING INTO STARING NOW. HOW DO OTHER PEOPLE NOT STARE???
I MISSED HALF A SENTENCE OH NO
STOP STARING NOW, LOOK AWAY CASUALLY.
EYE CONTACT!"

Empty templates at the end, feel free to make your own!

You know I love processing trauma with drawings:

Each one of these is real shit misogynists have said to me/a friend that were major red flags. But we didn't listen at the time, we didn't understand that these statements were meant the way they were said.

This was inspired by @lalalaletmeexplain 's wonderful book that @teyajean showed me a while ago, and the advice that sometimes you just have to take what is said at face value, no matter how seemingly nice someone acts or seems to be to you specifically in a certain moment.

Sometimes it's the other way round too, people say stuff they know puts them in a good light but then in their actions reveal their true nature. That's even harder to learn to spot ( e.g. just because someone says they're a feminist doesn't mean they actually are) especially when you are fucking autistic.

Anyway. We all have these stories and we all have these quotes. I hope to hear less of them in the future.

Happy Autism Acceptance Month!

Here's a story about what being diagnosed with #autism was like for me.

It is not very informative but honestly I don't know enough about autism to preach in the name of others, all I can do is my bit. Feels a bit awkward, too, but I think it's important that loads of people tell their stories when it's still so invisible, under-researched and not that well understood.

I think visibility is important and 'relatable' stories and memes can often provide the first clue that you may be neurodivergent (or have mental health issues) and be an incentive to see a professional about it & make your life better rather than suffering (thinking you're) alone.

Bussis,

it's halloween tomorrow I am shitting pumpkins

I love halloween so much

and I love pumpkins

and I love autumn

ok I need to elaborate on that last one I cannot put into words how much I love autumn it is the best god damn thing that ever happens I love the colours and I love the food and I love the temperature and I love the vibe and I love it when it is cold outside and breathing feels good and it smells like decaying leaves and I love it when I stay in on a weekend morning and I look out the windows and the colours outside are the best and I draw my stupid little drawings thinking of autumn and it feels like I might explode I just can not express how good everything about autumn is to me

unexpectedly here's some Real Stuff TM

had a big processing of some stuff from my past yesterday evening, here's one infuriating bit of it.

recently I had a phase in my life in which some very intense toxic relationships ended, and it has been the best but also obviously the worst.

I have more or less processed everything at this point, the only thing I find especially hard to get over is things that felt unfair and were never resolved

saying it out loud to people helps
