AUCTOBER day 26: Fidgeting

An october art challenge by @autiebiographical

My whole life I have been reprimanded for fidgeting too much. Somehow the evasive behaviour I established with each new rule just escalated the self destructiveness

DAY 26 - Fidgeting

When autistic folks feel anxious, bored or restless (among other things), fidgeting can help us burn off & regulate energy, so we can focus & get through otherwise difficult tasks & situations. If it doesn't harm or hurt anyone, don't make a big deal out of it.

Glad to see this. Those posts have gotten to me before.

I thought of King Croacus from Super Paper Mario. I don’t know where I’m going but I know it’s going to be a wild ride.

Flashback Friday: Originally posted September 8th, 2019

Not wanting a specific demographic to reproduce because you don't want them to spread certain attributes has a name, and yet people who don't want autistic, or honestly any neurodivergent/disabled people to have kids seem to forget that.

It infuriates me, and these sorts of beliefs deserve to be mocked and then promptly discarded.

The idea that cats share similar behaviours with autistic people is common enough that there's literally a book called All Cats Are on the Autism Spectrum.

It's a cute little children's book by Kathy Hoopmann that explains autistic behaviours with cats.

I’m gonna say it

I always feel so much clearer on this stuff after seeing these kinds of posts. Good explanations guys! I mean, graphic, but helpful.

You might be sexually attracted to that person if…

- You think sexual thoughts about the person out of nowhere

- You feel aroused upon seeing the person outside of a sexual setting

- You find yourself wondering what the person is like in bed and what their genitals look like 

- You want to have sex with that person because your body is screaming for sex with that one person in particular.

- Seriously though if you’re already horny and that person is there you will feel all hot and sexually aroused and might drool a bit and fantasies of doing X-rated things to that person will fly through your mind and your body will literally be screaming for that person to take you or for you to take that person. Even just thinking about that person while horny can do this to you.

- TMI but if you get off while fantasizing about you having sex with that person, the orgasms can be absolutely mind-blowing and may even give you leg cramps.

- You really do “just know.”

You might not be sexually attracted to that person if…

- You make a conscious effort to fantasize about sex with that person, mainly to see if you actually want to

- You feel aroused during a sexual situation, but that arousal has more to do with the activities instead of the specific person. Alternatively, you just don’t feel aroused at all.

- You feel aroused at random, but it’s directed towards no one

- You want to have sex with that person because you want to make them happy or are just horny and want to get off with a partner or want babies or want money or literally any other reason aside from your body screaming for sex with that one person in particular.

- TMI but if you try to get off while fantasizing about you having sex with that person, you may get bored and start thinking of other things. Or, you may start fantasizing about that person doing sexual things that don’t involve you in which case aegosexual might be worth looking into.

- You just don’t know.

If the “you might be sexually attracted” list boggles your mind, you are possibly asexual.

If the “you might not be sexually attracted” list boggles your mind, you are possibly not asexual.

If you can relate to the “might not be sexually attracted” list, but also feel like you’ve experienced some of the things on the “might be sexually attracted” list, it may be worth checking out some acespec identities.

(Disclaimer: This is strictly based off of my own experiences as acespec and is meant to be a guide for people questioning sexual attraction. Overall, you know yourself best and I’m not gonna tell you what you’re feeling or how to identify.)
