My autism journey, a novel.
Chapter 1: Misophonia - Finally... an explanation for why I have so much anxiety when I hear certain sounds!
Chapter 2: INFJ - Mind. Blown. I can't believe how much this explains who I am. 🤯

Autistic special interests do not have to be lifelong. They just have to be considered "highly restricted" "fixated" and "abnormal in intensity."
This means that the duration is not a factor.

That said... not APPEARING impaired doesn't mean I'm not. It just means that I do a very good job of HIDING it.

Being autistic is being an android in an iOS world where none of the applications are working right and you're constantly being told that they SHOULD be but no one seems particularly concerned that they're not.

If you're undiagnosed but strongly suspect you're autistic, the chances of you actually BEING autistic are extremely high. There's absolutely no benefit to moving on with your life as though you're not & EVERY benefit to you moving on as though you are. I hope you know that. ❤️

(Though I think this is more likely to apply to adults because children tend to have a harder time regulating their emotions simply because they haven't developed as many coping strategies as adults yet.)

These types of behaviors can make us appear at fault or weak for not being able to manage our emotions... but when autistic meltdowns happen, they're the direct result of unmet needs related to autistic brain wiring... and, again... almost never within our control.

But outwardly, I probably just look impatient, frustrated, irritated, irrational, and when I'm able to extract myself from the situation... like I'm skirting my responsibilities. What you wouldn't see is my overwhelming panic and internal chaos.

For me, my internal experience usually includes hyperventilation, heart palpitations, holding back a hearty cry, a much lower tolerance for sensory inputs, not being able to think about anything but the trigger... and usually a desperate and frantic need to remove it.

They are NOT a manipulation tactic.
They are NOT attention seeking.
And they are almost NEVER within a person's control.
Ok, so how do they look?

When these triggers happen, the autistic person will often have a fight, flight, or freeze response, which causes some type of visible behavioral reaction.
Now, I want to stress that these behavioral reactions are the result of EXTREME and OVERWHELMING distress...

First... they're usually the result of an autistic person not getting their needs met. Examples of this are... the result of unexpected plan changes... something not going the way we needed it to go... sensory overload... but there are so many others.

But adults can, and do, have meltdowns too... they just look different.
Before I get into how adult autistic meltdowns can look... especially when we've gotten really good at internalizing them so we don't look "crazy"... I want to talk about when and why they happen.

If you've heard the term "autistic meltdown" but aren't quite sure what it means or what it actually looks like, this post is for you...
I think most people hear the word "meltdown" and envision a person kicking, screaming, and thrashing around... usually a child.

Autism isn’t all boys with special interests in trains or tech.
Autistic special interests can include feminine-coded subjects like psychology (figuring out people and how better to understand and fit in among them) and makeup (so much tactile and visual stimming is possible!).
