Autistic joy

I would really like to start a thread on autistic joy and what that means to different people. I am only at the beginning of my autism journey and learning everything about other people’s experience of life as an autistic human bean is interesting to me. I think I have felt autistic joy through specific sensory things I like to do. I love a particular fluffy texture and it really makes me calm but incredibly happy inside. Anyone else got such an experience?

I'm quite visual, so I quite often get it when I see or watch something I really like. Like a moment where I've seen something that gives me a childlike sense of wonder and I feel I could be radiating joy, and want to shake my arms and feel like I could squeal (though I'm still contained at the moment so never do).
