I Need To Add “I’m Going To Stim Now, This Conversation Is Hard” Into My Vocabulary Tool Belt!

I need to add “I’m going to stim now, this conversation is hard” into my vocabulary tool belt! It’s amazing!

Recently a couple of the autistic kids I work with have inspired me with openly, unapologetically owning it.

Like one kid saying “if I don’t make eye contact it’s because I find that hard and it’s easier to concentrate on what you’re saying if I’m not looking at you.”

And another one asking for clarification of an ambiguous statement to check understanding instead of just hoping for the best.

And one saying “I’m going to stim now, this conversation is hard”

I have so much respect for them for being able to voice those things! It’s inspired me to try harder to do that instead of masking until I meltdown because I’m so scared of how people will react.

i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.

Affirmations for Self-Diagnosed Autistics

I do not need a professional to tell me I am Autistic. I am allowed to trust myself and my peers.⁣

It's okay if I realise later on that Autism doesn't really fit. I am allowed to get it wrong and change my mind.⁣

I don't owe anyone an explanation on whether I am self-diagnosed or professionally diagnosed. I am Autistic.⁣

I shouldn't feel bad for calling myself Autistic. I am not taking away resources or support from other people.⁣

Any reason for not seeking a professional diagnosis is valid whether it's due to accessibility, cost or even if it is a personal choice.⁣

I am allowed to call myself Autistic even if I'm self diagnosed because I am the expert of my own mind and experiences.⁣

I am welcome in the Autistic community and I deserve to be a part of the Autistic community.⁣

I deserve to be taken seriously and have my needs recognised and met by the people around me.⁣
