Yall, while the other ones definitely are good theories/facts and could definitely be reasoning for the "high feeling" for a lot of autistic people, I think. I think I've been talking about autistic joy this whole time. Like this lovely person said:

The whole time. I think I was just talking about autistic joy. About my joy. And I had no idea. Because, even though I'm happy--imminsely happy--when this happens, I thought it was a "symptom" some "messed up" part of my brain. But it was just joy. That's it. I can't believe I looked so long for an explanation of joy. Of just. Happiness. I'm proud that we found it but. The fact that we've been taught that joy looks a certain way--the neurotypical way--so much that we couldn't even recognize it within ourselves is so depressing. We're allowed to have joy too, we don't have to have some scientific backing for why we express it the way we do, and we don't need to change the way we express it. We're allowed to just exist how we are. Now go out and autistically enjoy some special interests or stimming or whatever you gleeful little fucks

Do any other autistic people feel high at random times?

Like, sometimes I'll get really giggly, everything will feel hilarious to me and I'll just laugh at nothing, and I'll stim more and laugh at my stimming (e.g. I was finding the normally annoying sound my pop-it makes very funny today) and I'll do a lot of echolalia (e.g. I kept repeating "my name is poet I am a Philip" & giggling because it was the funniest fucking thing in the world to me) and I'll get really affectionate, I'm already a very affectionate person but I get MORE affectionate (e.g. I'll be talking to my dog & I'll just be like "I just love you SO much" whilst sobbing but not really crying?) And I'll feel kind of light-headed (like someone injected helium into my brain) does anyone else do this??? Is it connected to autism??? Please help I'm really confused I can't find anything about this anywhere please reblog I Beg Of You
