Thinking about so many people this holiday season. People in ED recovery. People who haven’t started their ED recovery yet. People with sensory issues around food. People with unwanted dietary restrictions and intolerances and allergies. “Picky eaters.” You are valid, you are loved, you are capable, you are strong. I hope you are able to find joy and delight this year in your meals. Wishing you all the best. ❤️

Autism & Being Childish?

Autism and Being 'Childish'?

Many traits and things that are common among autistic people are often seen as 'childish' in the neurotypical world.

In reality, these things are incredibly important for the wellbeing of autistic adults and children and helpful in preventing meltdowns/shutdowns/burnout.

They are not something that should be stopped and not at all something that prevents anyone to be trustworthy/ responsible/ amazing at their job, etc.

Also, there is nothing to be ashamed of, because these things being helpful for many are totally awesome.

Some examples

1. having comfort items and being attached to them strongly.

These can be really helpful in overwhelming situations at home, and in public.

2. having 'chidish' special interests.

Special interests, whatever they are, are so much fun and super important for many autistic people.

3. unique fashion rules that might contain 'childish' elements.

For me, it's absolutely true, because in the neurotypical world, colorful things, and cute cartoon figures are often seen as childish, but for me, these are essential when going outside.

4. having a sensory space and playing with toys regularly, like having soft plushies, playing with fidget toys, lining up objects, being mesmerized by pretty lights, etc. Again, these have an important role in autistic self care

5. the autistic joy

The autistic enthusiasm and marveling at the wonders and beauty of the world, and also the way one might express the autistic joy, like jumping around, flapping hands, clapping, etc, these are also mainly associated with children in the neuritypical world, but I take it as a compliment, because for me, these are the probably the best things in being autistic.

just wanna let you know that a user on DA is reposting your eeveelution design, and others, without credit. they've done the same to me and even removed my watermark so i'm trying to get the repost taken down. do with this what you will https://www.deviantart.com/abifoxgreencrystal/art/Hawkeon-1135171006 i'm trying to track down all the artists this user is stealing from, they evidently know what they're doing since they've cropped and edited mine and other people's work

Thank you SO MUCH for acting on this on my behalf!! I'm like 11 days too late to your message, but I'm glad to see that I can no longer access the page you linked me, which means everything got successfully taken down. I hope the reposts of your art have been taken down as well!

I'm incredibly grateful that I have a community that looks out for me like this, as it's incredibly hard to track down and report all reposts online (with tiktok it's nearly impossible to successfully claim copyright and that sucks A LOT)

tbh normalise liking baby toys and genuinely not having or needing a deeper reason to.

maybe this COULD be explained by some aspect of my autism and sensory processing disorder but god damn it it doesn't NEED to be. I just fucking love this shit, unironically and purely wholesomely, and if you do too, more power to you bestie.

people on tumblr will literally post things like “you have to eat vegetables and expand your palate i dont care if you are a picky eater because of autism (if i can overcome it you can too)” and everybody will reblog it being like “yes this is true for everybody no matter what” and think its okay. like sorry but that wont work for everyone and there is no one size fits all and some people will never be able to eat these things no matter how hard they try. im only allowed by my doctors to eat recreationally and not for nutrition, because my ARFID is so severe that i get my nutrition solely from a specially made formula drink. your suggestions of “try vegetables roasted!” or “try them in soup!” and assurances of “i did it, you can too!” don’t work for those of us with more severe mental illnesses and disabilities. stop tying a person’s worth to their diet and stop assuming everybody has the ability to do what you can.

I love Deanna Troi because she’s representative of an autistic experience you don’t see on TV a lot which is “I learned all about human interaction the same way that one might learn about cool bugs so I know what makes people tick and in THEORY I know the right things to say in social situations but socializing like that is not the least bit natural to me and I don’t know what to do if the situation doesn’t match up with what I studied.” Except for her instead of having JUST learned about human interaction she is also psychic and so she partially relies on that too.

The episode where she loses her powers and suddenly cannot read people at all, not even to the level humans usually can, totally screws up trying to give therapy, and becomes so distraught she tries to resign from her job as a therapist, is so real. Like listen if she wasn’t autistic that wouldn’t have been such a big deal. Deanna Troi is an empath with low empathy, she’s using her psychic powers to compensate for her symptoms.

Also the episode where she hears some annoying music and completely loses her mind about it and screams and sobs and must be put into a medically induced coma because she’s so upset by the music and the alien that made her hear the annoying music seems genuinely confused about why it bothered her so much (meaning that like, that wasn’t the intended or normal effect of his annoying music ability).

Even outside those episodes where it’s so obvious though, everything she says to people tends to read as extremely scripted, like she knows it’s what she ought to say but it isn’t what she would say if she was just being herself. Queen of masking. What is the real you like, if you even still have one? She’s just like me for real

What disabilities can be caused by prolonged sensory deprivation other than psychosis? I tried googling it for research and all I got was results for disabilities that cause you to lose senses such as deafness or blindness.

Psychosis, anxiety disorders, depression, dissociative disorders. and post-traumatic stress disorder are all a possibility. I can also imagine some sort of sensory processing difficulty emerging from your brain not being able to process sensory information at all for a long period of time.

It can also depend on other factors.

For example, a child experiencing prolonged sensory deprivation before they have a solid grasp on language may lose the ability to process or use language.

You might especially want to research conditions that can happen after traumatic experiences, considering prolonged sensory deprivation can definitely be traumatic, whether it was intended to be or not.

Hope this helps,
