I do. And the only remedy I knew (and had proven more than once) was to fix whatever sleep quality issues I have. There's at least 3 physical sources of my sleep issues since as a child that had nothing to do with autism -- and on top of whatever autism is also doing and reacting to such. My current... |

Having the "need" to wind down.
Home at 6. Eat at 8. Sleep at 11. Not eating at 7 and sleeping at 8.
Fricking impulses. Fricking habits. Fricking excuses in my head. Stupid mental programs. Stupid adulthood having to un-f childhood f-ups. |

1)A very stable community by and for NDs. 2)Executive Dysfunctions. More research on that. And it's not exclusive for autistics, but for overall neurodivergent people who struggles with it. 3)The most realistic representation of how neurotypicals currently treat NDs of varying levels, complete with ... |

I should stop with "entertainment". If I can stop answer seeking and having a dice with AI, then I could do better. Maybe I should start with clearing all of my entire history searches and previous views. But not now. Maybe next month at soonest. Or next a year and a half at most. Whicheve... |

I just don't have this fear and anxiety related issues that are influenced by autism. If anything, autism gave me less fear instead -- not in a naive and clueless sense fearless, but perhaps it's just my personality to just take whatever unforeseen consequences. Reckless and apathethic is a more apt... |

If your autism is primarily due to Theory of Mind issues, it can seem to improve over time because you can learn compensatory techniques once you become aware of the nature of your problems. If your autism stems from sensory processing, there's probably no way to compensate, in fact it may be possi... |

To a greater extent, I lost the reactivity over sensory stimulus and the ever infamous anxiety, intolerance to uncertainty in general. My reaction of changes went from triggering to just confusing, that the only symptom I have was this struggle to adjust quickly, in need of time knowing and integrat... |

It's OK to not have friends. Friends are not obligatory. You can be a friendly and safe person without having any sort of bond or relationship with anyone and vice versa. Anyone can have a relationship that's purely transactional this way. Friendships should not be a form of work or duty, even if re... |

I cannot decide which scent my room would have. Maybe because I don't talk about smells too often since I don't particularly have a good sense of smell for most of my life. Lavander is good, but it's usually too diluted and not strong enough for me. Camomile is better, but I like mine smell dryer. P... |

I don't have a diagnosable sleep disorder. Only that I know I have sleep issues. Can't afford a check up, don't have a correct lab nearby. The only method I know, other than the usual sleep routines (sleep and wake at same time of day, less screen time, etc., Which I couldn't maintain yet) and tools... |

Just my body keep insisting on waking up at 7am. My work starts at 7:30am. How the heck should I fit less than 20 minutes on eating and hygiene? And forget anything that might occur on any changes that day? On top of travelling time (which is 10 minutes at it's fastest)? Yeah, yeah, I prepare things... |

This is one of the few things I couldn't relate as an autistic. I usually get picked first... Kids usually wants me in their team. Except I'm very disinterested in any "team work". If I feel like playing or want to piss someone, I get to choose. I did it to win, not to make friends or impr... |
