There's nothing like being so disconnected from your body that you can spend a whole night really uncomfortable with very little sleep and not realise you have an abdominal #migraine until less than 5 minutes before you're dry retching at 6am.

My special interest: Dogs

Pictures of normal dogs in a pool or underwater.

Does someone also have this?

I'm either fricking tired and on the brink to fall asleep
OR
I'm awake and unable to "sit still", which doesn't mean I need to be bodily active but active with anything, like thinking when playing games or watching a mystery or the like.
So as soon as I start to get tired, I need to get to bed or I'll pass the point and come into the active part again.

Well... I've permanently deleted my previous @bughuntercat account. There's something about these changes I'd like to share, and it has to do with autism, the diagnosis, and the realization of some things that happens long after I've thought about it.
It's something related to masks, memes, and dolls.

It's a good day to be Indigenous, Autistic, and Trans AF today.

"Interest-based sociality, preferred in autistic spaces, entails that interactions and exchanges are based on, and motivated by, a genuine interest in a topic. Conversely, socially based sociality, based on phatic communion and small talk, may be exhausting or serve little purpose in autistic spaces."

Autistics don't do phatic communion.

Na, erkennt ihr die Melodie?
Dann wünsche ich euch Happy Stimming.
