Autistic joy

Orangegnome

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?

  • This is such a lovely thing to focus on. I get so much joy from being outside in nature - particularly in ancient woodland, but any natural environment really. I also get so much joy and pleasure from really delicious food, and also cosy comfortable clothes like lovely thick woollen socks and soft cotton fabrics. Music is a huge source of joy for me too.
