#like do you want me to embrace the tism or not?

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm not in the mood for my mom or family dinner tonight.

The 'tism Made Me Do It

A list of things I've come to realize are not normal behaviors but rather a sign of Autism. My mother suspected I was autistic, "bUt iTs OnLy SeEn In BoYs" was the perspective when I was a child. So here are things I do/ have done that are most likely because of my Autism. (I'll probably update the list as I think of more things)

Flapping my hands (or entire arms) when I'm excited

Playing with my hair incessantly

Holding things that smell comforting up to my nose when distressed (often stuffed animals or other soft items)

Avoiding fireworks (I have a core memory of my mom leaning me back in her lap with her hands covering my ears so I would actually watch a fireworks show. Typically, I would curl up into the fetal position to cover my ears, so I usually missed everything)

Pacing

Swaying in place

Having a meltdown if plans change

Having a meltdown when feeling trapped or stuck

Throwing up or simply refusing to eat mushy foods

Avoiding phone calls like the plague

Having to do things "in order"

Opening cabinet doors to put things away and then just leaving them open until they become inconvenient

(Probably) Dropping into the mental headspace of a child

Always having to put clean things away "in the back/bottom" (ex, clean dishes at the bottom of the stack, clean clothes in the back of the closet)

Spending way too much time on one thing (hyperfixation)

Repeating phrases out loud or in my head over and over again, even if they're annoying me (I've been told this is a form of echolalia)

Sitting on the floor, especially in cozy corners or under my desk

Finding comfort in low lighting/ doing things in the dark/ avoiding fluorescents (I love my Christmas tree in the dark at night)

Occasionally unable to brush my teeth with my electric toothbrush because it tickles so much it hurts

Needing to redo "the thing" before starting something else (for example, I got a new Lesson plan template and I cannot write new ones until I've converted all the old ones into the new template)

The song Venom by Eminem makes me want to curl up in the fetal position

Listening to a song on repeat

Puzzles

(Probably) merge games

Needing two blankets to sleep: a top blanket for my arms and shoulders and a bottom blanket for everything else

Lining things up

Putting everything in patterns

My clothes can't be too tight or too loose

Spicy foods are banned

Give me all the sugary things (provided it's not mushy or spicy)

[As a child] trying to wash the "stiff" out of my hair (hair spray) and the "sticky" off my face (makeup) during dance recitals

Using dance (and dance like activities) to manage my symptoms

Struggling to make and keep friends unless they are also neurodivergent

Coming off as "childish"

Being shy and socially awkward unless you ask about the "right" niche topic that I'll talk for ages about

Despising and avoiding messy or dirty as a child but somehow embracing it with full force as an adult.

Avoiding clothes that are itchy (and carrying a roll of medical tape in my purse so I can cover up anything that is itchy in a pinch)

Being very physically clingy and cuddly (hate that this was one of the reasons people never considered me to be autistic. This can be a sign of autism just as much as avoiding physical contact can be).

(probably) having a detailed and elaborate logic that explained the existence of Santa Claus until I was 18 years old (don't judge me)

Let me barefoot

Picking at hang nails or chapped lips

An obsession with turn taking, even for inanimate objects (it's the peppermint hot cocoa chapstick's turn to be used, pumpkin spice is banned to the drawer until next time)

I'll add more as I think of them

[distorted-creations]

i really like your autistic!mickey hcs and i support it but I've been working on my first gallavich fic and i accidentally made ian autistic coded?

in the au, he's an actor/host of a kid's show and you learn that he did a charity photoshoot with "the neurodivergent youth project" (made up resource program) and he's generally knowledgeable about neurodivergency since he works with all sorts of kids because i just wanted to establish that he's a generally supportive/understanding person, but then you look at some of the traits I gave him and it's just like !!!

he's always stimming and he describes his thoughts as 'bubbling over', which results in him rambling a lot, especially when specific topics like his show or his favorite things come up. he develops a habit of repeating things other people say, and there's also a whole conversation in chapter five of the fic where he explains how he relies on routines and detailed plans.

the best part is that mickey doesn't question these traits and is supportive of all of it, which shocks ian because there are very few others in his life that don't find some of it annoying. and as he gets to know mickey, these specific traits become more evident. accidental unmasking allegory ig??

i know that there is more to autism and that it shows in other ways but i just think it's funny I did this mostly on accident. i inserted a moment in chapter five where it's established that these traits 'landed Ian in a doctor's office at the age of seventeen', so I might use that to build up a subplot where it's eventually revealed that he was diagnosed in his late teen years

i didn't mean for this to be so long i'm so so sorry, i just thought that maybe you'd find this occurrence funny

anon you really said: *shoots your blorbo with the autisticification beam"

at first my illiterate ass thought you meant mickey was the host of a childrens show and my brain started making up a scenario where his parole officer gets him a job working at for a channel like PBS bc they hear he has a kid and at first mickeys like "great awesome i have to herd kids on a tv set AND i hae to cover my tattoos" but he eventually realized hes good with kids and enjoys going to the kids' green room and reading stories/talking to them and then i reread your ask and realized you said IAN not MICKEY

i know nothing about BD but i see no reason why ian couldnt have both BD and autism. the tism is a spectrum so theres no one way to look or act autistic

ian would LOVE infodumping on mickey and mickey is never one to feign interest in something thats not his special interest or hyperfixations, but he just really likes watching ian get excited about something and be so smart about a certain topic. i can definitely see this ian unable to sit still and constantly needing to jiggle his leg or do something with his hands. also consider mickey embracing all of ians quirks bc hes like "oh cool finally someone who's like me" ⁉️ and ians LOVESSSS seeing mickey stim and infodump and wearing earplugs in public and having echolalia HARDCORE (my personal headcanon) and ians like!!!!!!! theres other adults just like me and this one also happens to be very cute and hot and fun to be around and easy to talk to!!!! a4a gallavich is chicken soul for my soul

Happy new year hollysoda nation!! It’s officially 2024 here in the uk and it already kinda sucks I would hold onto 2023 a lil bit longer if you could-

I don’t usually do resolutions, but after this year I kinda feel like I need to? It’s not like I didn’t accomplish anything but there’s a lot I need to improve on or simply just do ig

Make new friends/be a better friend to my existing buddies: I had a pretty big fall out with some of my irls this year and although most wounds have healed I’ve lost a connection to one or two. I’m gonna try to see them as much as I can, and also meet new people!! Because why not, I’m an adult, I can do things

Sell my art: whether it be through commissions, adopts or craft things idc I just wanna sell my art AND be more confident with what I can make

Declutter my room and clean it more often: the clutter is getting too much to handle not gonna lie. I have some ideas on how to improve things though so hopefully I can get this one done quickly

Embrace who I am: my autism diagnosis this past month, and the whole journey of getting said diagnosis, has slowly made me more comfortable in my own skin but now I really want to try and embrace the tism. Not in like a showy off way, but in a “yeah I’m autistic what about it?” way. Maybe I’ll go to some groups or something idk

Write more: I did manage to post two fics in 2023 which is good for me but I now have a brand new laptop as of two days ago!! It loads in like two seconds I literally don’t have an excuse to write on my phone anymore. Hoping to write some lu fics and some warrior cats stuff as well!

Be more independent: I rely on my mum too much tbh. I love her to death and she loves me too but I can tell she’s just as mentally exhausted as I am from this year. Passing my driving test will definitely help with this but I just need to do more things myself, like driving myself places, arranging things, adulting like I should be etc

I probably won’t follow any of these but oh well it’s here to look back on in 12 months. Have a good year everyone!

Here to see a blind date!! I'm a 5'3" nonbinary person who presents mostly feminine. I've got layered brown hair roughly around my shoulders with blond streaks in the front, brown eyes and a few beauty marks on my face. I'm an extrovert, have a huge special interest in history and vintage clothing/furniture/etc (specifically from 20's-80's). I absolutely love colder/rainy weather and cozier clothes, tiny little coffee shops and libraries. I'm fairly sarcastic and blunt (the 'tism) but i try to be as friendly as i can in my day-to-day. I'm pretty awkward when it comes to talking to people i don't know, but i'm loud as hell with my friends.

(Absolutely love your writing, congrats on the milestone!!!)

💜 blind date 💜 the kitchen is now closed! 🔞minors dni🔞 • masterlist • kofi link • tag: finnie1500 (to follow or to block) a/n: ah, be gentle! your blind date is just getting back in the game! 💚

"Hi, welcome to the Vill-Inn! I'll show you to your table, where your date is waiting. He seems a bit sombre, but otherwise perfectly polite. I am glad you're wearing a scarf though... it's kinda cold over there..."

You do notice that it's getting colder the closer you get to your table, but that's alright with you. You've dressed for the weather, it is Gotham after all. And once you're sat down in front of your date, it all makes sense.

"Pleasure to meet you, I'm Victor Fries. I'd rather... not be called Mr. Freeze tonight, if that's ok?"

Of course you agree, you're very friendly after all. But you do throw in an awkward joke, which luckily he finds endearing.

The first fifteen minutes of the date are filled with compliments, with Victor taking in everything about you. He's specifically enamoured with your outfit, mentioning that it carries a wonderful aesthetic the whole way through. When you explain to him your love of history and vintage fashion, he nods.

"That makes sense. You look perfect. Like you've been frozen in time."

You're the one carrying the conversation, as Victor is a little quiet, possibly tender from his previous relationship. But you're quick to warm him up, no pun intended. He enjoys your sarcasm, he finds it witty. And he appreciates someone who is blunt, or as he puts it, straightforward, when speaking to him. He'd rather not play games, he just wants conversation and some company.

When you mention your love of coffee shops and libraries, he points out that Gotham is distinctly lacking in both, at least in the sense that the ones around here aren't usually the thriving hubs of quiet socialisation you might be looking for. You assure him there's beauty everywhere, and besides, you prefer the colder weather in Gotham.

"That suits me perfectly well, too."

Though the date gets a little awkward at times, with you worrying you've said too much and Victor worrying he hasn't said enough, you both settle into the dynamic. You complement each other, and that makes things go smoothly as you open up a little bit more as the night goes on.

Victor offers to walk you home, taking you along the river so you can embrace the cool breeze that comes off the water.

"I have to warm you though, I might not be able to warm you up if you get too cold."

You assure him that's absolutely fine, and that you wouldn't have it any other way.
