Question 3: What’s your favourite stim?

My favourite way of self-soothing is rubbing my cheeks on soft fabric. It’s almost like a self-hypnosis where my inner voice is just “rub, rub, rub rub, rub rub” in the rhythm that feels best in the moment. I do it with soft cushions, plushies or blankets and it makes me incredibly self-conscious.
I barely let anyone see it, writing a post about it feels weird too.

Being autistic is weird sometimes. So enjoy that info i guess? Maybe I find other weirdos who feel similar hehe.

Question 2 from autistics.life/@marionline/114

Tell us a thing about your autism you like. What do you like about yourself?

A surprisingly loaded question. Which aspects of me make me autistic? Is my whole being entirely autistic or are there aspects i could isolate?
I am unsure how to answer that for myself if I´m completely honest.

What I do know is that an aspect that has always set me apart from others (for the better and for the worse) is my "softness".
My love for soft fabrics, plushies, my calming voice, patience and cuddly-ness.
I'm slow to anger and rarely raise my voice. Many people appreciate my love for deeply personal conversations and open up with me easily.
More than a few people have started to call me an "anxiety-pet" in reference to my ability to talk them through fears and other difficult life situations. I tend to analyze people quite a lot which allows me to nudge them into certain directions or towards information they might find helpful.

I do think that these aspects are connected to me being autistic. My way of emphasizing with other people is intertwined with the need to rationalize behavior in the first place in order to understand social constructs.

If anyone, any regular person asks about Autism, I would wish we give a lesson in neurodiversity, and don’t say, We, say, You. “There are different sorts of brains in the human population and yours has different traits than ours. Your type is far more social than mine and there’s advantages to that in human contexts, but you’re less able to deal with more concrete matters like science, everything is a trade-off in some way, etc. Your type’s theory of mind is geared for deceit detection, and worldly facts get filtered by that too.”

Awareness - so the assumption is they simply haven’t been told, and once they’re told, things will improve - here’s the problem: there is zero neurodiversity awareness in that framing.
.
The whole point of neurodiversity specifically is some brains see some things and some see other things, this premise of awareness is grounded in Allistic We are All the Sameness, if only we all get the same information we will all understand and agree, we will All Be the Same again, once we have all been made aware. When neurodiversity is about what you are aware of, what we and they CAN be aware of, and what you’re not, and can’t be.
.
Autism Awareness Month ignores neurodiversity. 😈

I don’t mean it’s hopeless, only that the old saw, knowledge begins with one’s self, still applies, that in order to be aware of other things, you have to know something about your own awareness machine, and I say again, without irony, that Allists need to learn about Allism first. 😇💜

Day 1 - Question
What is your current hobby (special interest)?

Answer: Currently I'm into playing computer games and another round of attempting to code my own game. Coding and IT in general come with a lot of things to learn, so it is never boring! 😅

I am playing around with electronics a little, trying to build a raspberry pico robot. Now, I wonder how I combine robot and computer-game-coding ... 😆

baking, I guess. Learned cheesecakes and custard. 😀

I stim with my attempts at music, at learning old songs. My latest fidget is these rubber bands things, they’re silly, but the material is difficult to work with, takes a bit of concentration.
