#askingautistics I did some exams and it confirm my lack of deep sleep 😴
I just have a bunch of naps all night.

Does any #actuallyAutistic here have done Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for that kind of trouble ?

There is this French website that the doctor recommended me https://www.therasomnia.com but I am a bit skeptical…

#sleep #deepsleep #insomnia #cbt

Is there a difference between “autistic” and “autist”?

#AskingAutistics! I'd like advice from my fellow #ActuallyAutistic people. In 2 weeks there are 2 special days at work coming up where colleagues from other sites are visiting. It involves scheduled events/activities during the whole 2 days, including a lot of socialising. I am quite anxious about it & I think I need to flag it for my manager that I might get socially exhausted. What kind of strategies & accommodations would you find helpful in this situation?

#AskingAutistics! Any of my fellow #ActuallyAutistic people actually like random music recommendations?

I feel like there is almost never a time when I appreciate any of it and it mostly won't stick. I discover new music by being strategically exposed to it by SO sometimes. And it either sticks or it takes more time. Very rarely I might actively listen into new bands (e.g. before a festival) to see if any of it is worth going to & there something may stick as well.

If there were no barriers, and you had unlimited resources. What one thing would you do?

I would start an academic institution dedicated to the study and advancement of the neurodiversity paradigm and movement.

@sellathechemist I recommend you repost, tagging these groups & hashtags:

Not sure what the best way is to get the attention of #OCD folks or other neurodivergences, but this should serve as a good start.

#actuallyautistic #askingautistics Does this happen to you also: you have had a good conversation on subject X, you rembember the content but have no idea with whom you had the conversation.

Question for speaking autistics. I’ve been living in a different country than my birth one for 21 years with 17 y. in a different linguistic environment. Until recently it was for me the only source of my issues to remember sometimes a word in my 1st language. But I suspect being autistic + ADHD + EF issues may be related to it too? What do you think?

(I don’t have any of the speech features related to autism except for sometimes non-interactive echolalia).

#AskingAutistics Does anyone have good suggestions to quickly find remote work, full or part time, for #ActuallyAutistc people who dread phone calls? Asking for me. 🙋‍♂️

@actuallyautistic

Are all Autistics autodidacts? Is that just a thing we do?

Seeing people on here saying "I'm not autistic, but that's totally me too." 🤔

That was me too a couple years ago. 🤪

Common experience?

Do we all go through that initial phase?

#AskingAutistics #ActuallyAutistc

#AskingAutistics #askingadhders do you experience imposter syndrome?

I have been so good at hiding parts of myself over the years that I now doubt they are there.

As an #actuallyAutistic i feel that I almost never have executive dysfunction for my special interests. Is that commun ?
Because it’s quite disturbing for me and relative to see me not able to fix a meal but efficiently preparing my next move for my SI. #askingautistics

Is it weird to watch online video tutorials and think I really like the person doing that tutorial, and if we met in real life, we might be friends? Is that limerence? I've heard other Autistics talking about correlation of #limerence and #Autism

#AskingAutistics

If any allistic friends have questions about what it's like for me to have a non-speaking episode, i know how i feel now, but i might not remember later, and thinking through facts and feelings is a little grounding, so feel free to ask right now, and i'll do my best to answer. As you can tell, i don't lose my ability to understand or communicate, just produce words out of my mouth. I can grunt a bit though. But i can only speak for me, and a bit for my kids #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics

#AskingAutistics: do/did you have to mask around your family-of-origin?

@neversosimple I am late self-diagnosed and #ActuallyAutistic. Other hashtags we use are #AskingAutistics and #AuDHDers who discuss the fun parts of being both. @ratcatcher

#AskingAutistics

Do you think you literally feel (either physically or emotionally, or both) other people's feelings/emotions?
