I'm starting to dislike #sleep. Mostly due to inability to fall asleep easily. And/or being #overstimulated. #truthoffmychest

I find it absolutely frustrating that I have to tell people multiple times I cannot hear them because I have headphones in. Only to have them continuously try to grab my attention and wonder why I'm getting snippy.

well i decided to buckle Penny in for the long haul... here she is enjoying the Lovense Orgy (every connected toy vibes for 5 seconds every time someone tweets #LovenseOrgy !)

Friends who get #Overstimulated be it #Autism #ADHD or otherwise: Do you feel like you have enough healthy coping mechanisms? Are you comfortable sharing some? For me, one that I try to use a lot is to simply disappear. Excuse myself to a bathroom or somewhere otherwise safe to #disassociate in until I can "hear myself think" again. #cannabis also has been promising, but sometimes doesn't act as fast as necessary in social situations. I think I've seen this called to #elope before

Things being #ActuallyAutistic has taught me:

If I get overstimulated or uncomfortable: Life won't stop
If things get to be too much: Life won't stop
What can stop is the energy put into negativity.

When I get #overstimulated, I can step away and #refocus to bring myself back or put a new spin on the situation.

The best days happen when I can control where my energy goes, because while it doesn't help with executive dysfunction, it does help with #stress and #anxiety. Progress not perfection

The relief I feel every time I put on my nose cancelling headphones is inexplicable.

Kiddo spent a lot of the first day hiding behind sofas and under the dining table, and refusing to eat at the table because there were too many people. On Christmas Day they said to me in the bathroom: "I'm a bit scared cos there are so many people, but I'm mostly happy." I empathised (dang, mood!) and offered them quiet time and they insisted they wanted to stay with the group. They got #overstimulated a few times, but then, so did I. They did amazingly well.

The holidays are stressful. Christmas is over, yay and now I have to get ready for my daughter's 12th birthday which is on New Year's Eve.
I will breathe a sigh of relief and finally be able to relax when that is over. It's a lot for my #neurodivergent family to handle. Kinda seems like the holidays never end. I am so tired.

I thought I had it all together. I had a relaxing shower & then I settled down to make tuna casserole for supper. I kept getting interrupted. My partner came home. My roommate started asking me a bunch of questions. I sloshed boiling water on my foot and had to stick my foot in the sink and run cold water over it. Then my husband showed up with a friend. When the casserole made it into the oven, the tuna was still on the counter. #Frazzled #ADHD #Overstimulated

@ashleyspencer One very discernible way I #masked was to actively avoid people when I was #overstimulated or to try and prevent the same. Doing tasks at weird hours. Ordering online instead of visiting stores. Shopping malls are the worst. Choosing weird hours to have lunch at work, and eating at my desk. I like people, but in small doses please. #autism #strategies #coping @actuallyautistic

Pushed too hard to do groceries, now mentally exhausted and twitchy.

Kicking back with tea and the best balm for a burned out brain I have found so far: LIVE JELLYFISH CAM!

Put earplugs in at Texas Roadhouse (wife wanted to eat there and I like their roadkill thing.) Last time we were here it was too loud and I was #overstimulated especially when they did the shouty birthday thing they do. This time I put in earplugs and it's SO MUCH BETTER. It's not silent, which would be cool, but it's greatly reduced and much more bearable. I'm having fun being #nonverbal and communicating with my wife via text. Imma have to try being nonverbal more often. #autistic
