Replying to @UnicornSystem alcohol affects your brain by boosting GABA (pronounced ‘GAB-uh’), a neurotransmitter that helps you relax, and increasing dopamine, which makes you feel good. ao while it can make social situations feel easier, over time, alcohol can actually lower your brain’s natural…

Replying to @☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ gardening can help some autistic people feel more at ease because it offers a calming environment, reduces anxiety, and provides a sensory experience that's easier to manage. it can improve focus, mood, and overall well-being by creating a peaceful space to connect with…

this isn’t an anti compliance post bc kids need safety (even lsn kids or allistic kids). actually can’t remember what sparked my “mama bear” to go off bc this was deep in my drafts probably a YouTube comment #actuallyautistic #autism #autisticadult #autisticmom

#onthisday when you’re autistic, alcohol can feel like a shortcut to “normal.” it dulls sensory overload, eases social anxiety, and makes masking feel easier. research shows autistic adults are more likely to use alcohol or substances to cope…especially women. but the relief is temporary!! and it…

hot take but sometimes your nervous system needs to heat up before it can cool down movement in heat = deep proprioceptive input + endorphins + parasympathetic activation autistic brain goes from 🫠 to 😌 way faster than “just relaxing” ever could @Peace Out Yoga #actuallyautistic #autisticadult…

Replying to @Espie Addams good luck w your routine! the dry oil is nice but I still like to wipe away as many droplets as I can and then reward myself w a warm hug from my giant bath sheet. search bath sheet on wherever you buy your home stuff! #showertips #actuallyautistic #audhd…

how is summer already slipping away? school starts in a few weeks and I’m not at all ready for this transition 😢 #summer #mom #momlife #nostalgia #audhdmom #autisticmom

one way i exercise my privilege as a low support needs autistic person: i can eat what i want without being judged or restricted. for many autistic people, food routines and preferences are tied to restricted and repetitive behaviors (one of the diagnostic criteria listed in the DSM). this isn’t…

my favorite stim and it makes me feel like a magician! it helps calm the amygdala (the part of your brain that freaks out) and signals safety to your nervous system. it can lower cortisol, ease sensory overwhelm, and help unstick that frozen/shutdown feeling. it doesn’t have to be perfect, just…

I know the answer I didn’t want to break my Tuesday routine and also wanted to make a new recipe even though I knew it would be fitting in too much but also happy I did it hehe pAtternZ #actuallyautistic #audhd #nap #autisticadult #socialbattery #autisticburnout #lutealphase

no but this is more than propaganda / trends - it’s literally a list of accommodations that help me exist more comfortably in my brain and body #accomodation #actuallyautistic #audhd #adhd #lsn #crunchy #pmdd #cyclesyncing #autisticaccommodations #propoganda

honey the face needs to serve we can cry later #passions #autistic #autisticemotions #actuallyautistic #autisticadult #unmaskingautism

Replying to @a mood ✨🖤💀 sorry sis I’ve had zero spoons to write back or record and couldn’t edit out the gaps for you. hoping your well! #pregnantlife #autisticadult #autisticmom #sensoryissues #actuallyautistic #unmaskingautism #pregnantautistic #autisticandpregnant
