I'm holding my annual Rope Camp for tying friends, and because there's a huge overlap between people who tie and #ActuallyAutistic folk and #Trans people, my meadow is currently full of people, several of them partially through transition. Because the sun is out, many of them are naked; a…

A morning thought: claiming that someone is "bothered" by the intensive smell of perfume is an unfair simplification.
It's not that I "don't like" intensive smells. It's an actual physiological reaction. I recall that a long time ago, I accidentally sat behind a classmate who used a lot of perfume. Took me a while to realize why I was getting dizzy wherever I leaned down to note something (at first I thought that leaning was the problem, not entering the cloud of perfume). Using perfumes is a choice, not getting dizzy over smells.
Same goes for noise. It's not that I "don't like" noise. It's that noise kills my nervous system. It's not that I have a choice.

Did you know that mutations in the SETD5 gene are associated with a rare neurodevelopmental disorder? This condition often includes features like intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and facial dysmorphism.
There are only about 250 people worldwide with this specific genetic change, and I’m one of them! I’m here, I’m th…

I fucking hate the word "embrace," being autistic. It feels so fake, like a glitchy AI word that doesn’t match how my brain works.
It makes me want to scream inside because it’s too soft, too forced, and just wrong for me. I can’t use it without feeling like I’m lying to myself.

Spilling the autistic tea!
One of my biggest autistic traits is that I talk to myself for up to six hours a day, and have done so my entire life, all 24 years.
I just love talking to myself, it’s my way of stimming and fully owning my queer, neurodivergent self with pride, I suppose.

Confession time: I’m totally addicted to Coca Cola. Zero surprise to my family, they’ve seen the rainbow-fueled caffeine calculations in action.
But for my fellow fediverse friends, I know this might come as a major plot twist. Welcome to my neurodivergent soda saga! 🏳️🌈🧠🥤
#ActuallyAutistic
Currently running the ultimate queer-autistic mental math: do I get up now for a Coke, or do I turn on my PC first and then embark on the sacred quest for caffeine?
Welcome to my rainbow-brained world, where every decision involves calculating the exact number of steps, seconds, and spoons required. 🏳️🌈🤓✨

Today thanks to a defect of another train combined with complete incompetence of Polish railway traffic controllers, I've spend almost 3 hours in a train, stopped halfway between Złotniki Grzybowe and #Poznań Strzeszyn train stops (1.5 km from either). I would lose perhaps half of this time if they instead stopped us at the previous stop, and told us what's up, so we could just go catch the urban bus. But that's not my biggest problem.
These 3 lost hours means I'm behind with work. So I'm hurrying to catch up. Except I'm so completely messed up because of all this, I can't really focus on work, so I had to stop. So I'm going to be even more behind.

About morbid thriftiness (Autism Spectrum Condition)
As you may have noticed, I am morbidly thrifty. Usually I don't buy stuff that I don't need — and if I decide that I actually need something, I am going to ponder about it for a while, look for value products, and for the best price. And with some luck, I'm going to decide I don't need it that bad after all.
One reason for that is probably how I was raised. My parents taught me to be thrifty, so I have to be. It doesn't matter that, from retrospective, I see that their thriftiness was applied rather arbitrarily to some spendings and not others, or that perhaps they were greedy — spending less on individual things so that they could buy more. Well, I can't delude myself like that, so I have to be thrifty for real. And when I fail, when I pay too much, when I get cheated — I feel quite bad about it.
The other reason is that I keep worrying about my future. It doesn't matter how rich I may end up — I'll keep worrying that I'll run out of money in the future. Perhaps I'll lose a job and won't be able to find anything for a long time, Perhaps something terrible will happen and I'm going to need to pay a lot suddenly.
Another thing is that I easily get attached to objects. Well, it's easier to be thrifty when you really don't want to replace stuff. Over time you also learn to avoid getting new stuff at all, since the more stuff you have, the more stuff may break and need to be thrown away.
Finally, there's my environmental responsibility. I admit that I don't do enough — but at least the things I can do, I do.
[EDIT: and yes, I feel bad about how expensive my new phone was, even though it's of much higher quality than the last one. Also, I got a worse deal because I waited too long.]

Some people apparently have a problem with me being gender-fluid. That’s your problem, not mine.
I’m autistic. I’m not neurotypical, so honestly, I can’t relate to your issue with who I am. Sorry, not sorry!

I'm feeling severely depressed right now, like the weight of everything is crushing me.
I did the right thing by reaching out to my dad, and he’s on his way to be with me.
I’m not okay, but I hope to see you all another day.
Thank you for being here.

I'm #ActuallyAutistic as hell, unapologetically autistic. I just want you to know, which you already do, that I speak to myself, or not.

Soft dom refers to a style of dominance in BDSM characterized by gentle, nurturing, and respectful control rather than harshness or aggression, and I enjoy that kind of content.
If you don’t like it, just scroll past these posts, because I’m #ActuallyAutistic, and this helps me feel better, I take that as a good thing.
I don’t feel like a man or a woman, I flow through the beautiful spectrum of #GenderFluidity, and my #ActuallyAutistic brain totally hates the endless colors of it all, LMAO!

I have Googled Zoë Straub more than anyone alive. My autistic hyperfixation has turned search engines into shrines and every obscure web page into treasure.

I really should stop talking to myself all the time... but then who else is gonna get my amazing commentary?
When I don’t, boredom sneaks in like an uninvited guest, so naturally, I just hit replay on my own brain channel.
It’s the ultimate loop, talk, stim, repeat, and somehow I call it fun.
