Neurodivergent Love Languages

Ausomely Autistic

Hello fellow autistic people! In case you didn’t know neurodivergent love languages are a popular and well known aspect of autistic culture on social media. I particularly love info dumping and deep pressure, parallel play. 

The 5 languages are:

  1. Info dumping- we do a lot of info dumping here.
  2. Parallel play/Body Doubling - sharing space together whilst doing different activities 
  3. Spoon Sharing/Support Swapping- sharing our energy 
  4. Please Crush My Soul Back Into My Body (deep pressure)
  5. Penguin Pebbling - sharing small gifts or memes with neurodivergent friends/family (usually related to dedicated interests)

I particularly like penguin pebbling with my autistic friend. I like to send them memes related to their dedicated interests.

Which language do you relate to most?

Here is an article that explains the languages in more depth:

I love this aspect of our autistic culture, I hope you find it interesting too!

  • Parellel play is one I particulary enjoy. Sometimes me and my wife can be sat next to each other doing completely different things and hardly even speaking but it is a time that I find so peaceful and enjoyable. I will be sat making my beads and she will be sorting through her reciples

    My son does parallel play a lot too

    Thanks for sharing. I love parallel play too, for me it is about sharing space with someone else without having any expectations. I like the company. There is definitely something peaceful about parallel play, I agree.
