Do you like your birthday

Sparkles

I read the page on Christmas & am curious now what you think of your birthday.

I don't like my birthday. I don't like the attention, I don't like that everyone comes round to see me & I hate the fact I'm getting older. I'm 17 next year & it's scary. I never feel like celebrating, I never see nothing to celebrate.

Birthdays & Christmas are things I wish the world lived without. It would be better for me if this was the case.

    Omg yes me to! Getting a present related to something I enjoy and can obsess with is like the coolest thing ever. 

    Absolutely, a pure source of autistic joy! I would quite happily hyper focus on the books that I receive for the rest of the day but unfortunately my attention is usually pulled in different directions for socialising or eating…, so disappointing!

    What's your fave stim tool?

    More recently, I have not been using stim objects I have been stimming by listening to the same song on repeat. My current favourite same song is Learnt to Love Goodbyes by autistic ADHDer singer Cat Burns. I quite like making noises to stim and using chewelry. I ordered another stim tool a few days ago, it’s a 3D printed multicoloured lizard, I have also ordered a 3D printed octopus stim tool from Etsy. Very exciting for these to be delivered!

    What is your happy stim? What is your favourite stim?

     I have loads of memoirs by autistic people, which ones have you read?

    What kind of historical items are you interested in?
