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?

  • Yes! Holding something fluffy makes me giggle out loud. Getting home and holding a fluffy blanket and cushion or soft toy makes me go "hehehhehe" best joy, I feel bubbly inside.

    Also have the same feeling when my husband kisses my forehead (but if anyone else touches any part of me I feel angry lol)
