#Autism

For one day in September, the stoke of surfing comes to the desert at the Surfing With Nixon Autism Surf Day.

Tomorrow is my high school graduation ceremony, and for months I have been worrying about it because I know I won’t like it. My class has over 700 kids in it and I’m friends with about 5 people, 4 of which I see weekly and 1 who has other friends they…

"Fidget toys are ridiculous. ADHD and autism didn’t exist back in my day.” Oh yeah? That’s because we had: - clicking pens - chewing pencils - speaking into fans - peeling Elmers off our hands - rubbing that broken shirt seam - drawing the cool S - bouncy…

After 12 of what felt like the worst years of my life, I'm finally finished with school. I'm graduating tomorrow off of a pretty close call. After what felt like decades and a millennium, I'm finally getting out of here, and by God it feels good.…

I keep seeing well-intentioned posts trying to reassure people that nobody really knows what they are doing and that nobody gets anything perfect. But… I’m just not convinced. Because that’s not how people have reacted to me throughout my life.…

It's not the autistics doing this, it's the NT's. I'm seeing posts about how autism is a trend, and it's being over diagnosed and "look at all the women trying to get diagnosed with Audhd" First off, a lot of adult women are getting diagnosed later in…

I’ll start from the beginning. I (20F) was supposed to leave for a vacation to the beach with my family tomorrow. I absolutely love traveling, it’s one of my special interests. I woke up today so excited to go.…

Always have to follow some unspoken code, always supposed to suck it up, always have to get out of my comfort zone to the point of never actually staying in it.…

For the past couple years, Ive been glued to my bed. Sometimes I sit on the couch, at the kitchen table, but most of the time Ive been laying down in my bed, scrolling on my phone with complete lack of motivation except going to the gym twice a week and…

okay this is like kinda a weird question but i just don't know where to go with this question so. like. hi guys?? i want to get tested for autism or however this works because i feel like i exhibit a lot of the symptoms (or at least general signs of some…

It's a bit complicated but... I was late diagnosed in 2012 but ran from it because I was not even looking for this diagnosis back then and thought that it just wasn't possible even though I knew nothing about it.…

Ik this isn't what the subreddit is specifically Abt but idk what to do or if I should do something at all, like everyone's friends have weird traits and idk if this is a "alr weird but wtv" or a "no that's definitely crossing a line weird" I'm pretty…

i’ve stimmed in different ways my entire life, often going through different phases of stims for weeks, months, or even years at a time. a big one i’ve always had is making a “snapping” motion with my thumbs and fingers.…

Hoping to get some advice here. My neighbor's kid (maybe around 7 years old) first broke our gate lock by repeatedly ramming his bike into it. Our cameras caught him throwing the broken piece into our yard before leaving.…

Hi everyone, I recently got diagnosed with AUDHD after my break up with my long term ex boyfriend (he broke up with me). I was so high masking I fooled myself! After my diagnosis looking back I realized without a doubt my ex boyfriend also has autism.…

It's horrible. I'm 52. Been picking my nose my entire life. I hate the feeling of boogers and there's this part of my nostril that always feels like a booger. I pick at it until it bleeds and then it scabs and now there's actually something to pick at.…

Someone in discord told my partner that liking sonic the hedgehog as an autistic person is the most basic autism, wich is funny to me because i love sonic. Now i wonder whats the "weirdest autism"? submitted by /u/Huge-Macaroon-9114 [link] [comments]

A mutual friend that I have classes with and see frequently at gatherings is getting married in a couple days. I pretty much accepted that I am not invited to neither the wedding nor the reception.…
