1: Difficulty with sleep

2: Change in routine [ going on holiday, moving house, sudden change of plans]

3: Social situations [can become overwhealming]

4: Sound and noises

5: Specific intolerances to smells

6: Overall sensory overloads

7: Friendships and relationship difficulties 

8: Communication

9: The daily life of school or the workplace

10: Incredible creativity and dedication

11: Understanding, thoughtfulness and awareness

12: Irritation of clothing and materials [like wool]

Hope some of these things gave you some reassurance on what may be going on and that its usuall for these things to occur along with other things aswell I may have not added :]

  • Being autistic influences everything, because it is a different neurotype, a different way of being in the world. For example, the thoughts you have about a situation are because you are autistic (unless you have other co-occurring forms of neurodivergence). This means that it also impacts how you think about the social world/society in general.

    15.I question societal neurotypical expectations and so do many other autistic people.

    I think this is because we are different and therefore wonder why there are not multiple ways of doing things/need or pressure for conformity. For me, this is a huge part of being autistic as I always need to understand a logical reason for doing something. 

    Another huge part of being autistic for me is

    16. constantly analysing everything.

    In general, I enjoy something much more when I can explore it in depth.

    17. Need for clarity - in communication, everyday expectations 

    18. Autistic joy - particularly when in hyper focus 

    19. Deep passions for subjects we love, passionate about being passionate 

    20. Strong sense of justice- probably due to frequent misunderstandings 

    21. Different perspective and expectations for friendships- I would necessarily know someone is a friend unless they tell me explicitly. Also I wouldn’t necessarily expect a friend to socialise with me frequently unless they had something important to talk about.

    22. Accepting of others

    Another significant part of autistic joy is my interests (which happen to be autism and neurodiversity). So responding to this post brings autistic joy.
