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:
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!
All of these!! And so excellently explained here that I'm sharing this with my partner.
Also a wonderful, true story of pebble sharing:
I'd had a rotten morning and was feeling very low when I got to work. A six year old in the class where I work came up to me, and at first I thought I'm not sure if I have the spoons to deal with her- she's the one who can't sit still at all and struggles to listen. She's got undiagnosed ND written all through her like a stick of rock. But instead of coming to me with a problem, she held up a tiny piece of something shiny (that had probably fallen off someone's bag) and said "this is for you!"
I instantly knew that this was her way of saying I love you for all the times I've shown patoence and understandong and it reminded me of why I do what I do.
Also I came across this list years ago, on a similar theme, but yours explains it much better. neuroclastic.com/.../
Edit: I thanked her with a genuine smile, showed it to my colleague with great pride, and put it on tip of my drawers where I saw it shining for a couple weeks and every time it made me feel happy and appreciated.
That's a beautiful story
