Turns out, most people don’t have an inner monologue. According to research, only 30 to 50% of people have inner monologues, which means up to 70% of people don’t have a talkative brain. As an Autistic person that is also ADHD, mine never shuts up!

And of course I’m a sticker hoarder with many more hidden in different places and Matt puts his everywhere 🤣 #actuallyautistic sticker above by @theautisticlife #autismawareness #autism #autisticadults #autismacceptance #audhder #audhd #adhd #adhdawareness #neurodiversitymovement #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #stickers
Anxiety about new places is very real. But thankfully Matt doesn’t have the same level of anxiety about it as I do so we work together. Is this something you deal with? #actuallyautistic #onthespectrum #autism #autistic #autisticadults #asd #autismspectrumdisorder #autismawareness #neurodiversity #autismcommunity #autismproud #autismlove #neurodiverse #unapologeticautistic #autismacceptance #autismspectrumdisorder #differentnotless #autisticpride #autismadvocate #neurodivergent
In the past it has taken days for us to recover from putting up our Christmas tree. So we had an idea! Saran wrap it and store it in a Christmas tree bag we bought off Amazon and keep it in the garage for next year.It looked a little messy when we first opened it but it took about 10 minutes to straighten as opposed to the eight hours it felt like it took last year.If you can get someone to help you put up the tree hopefully you can just saran wrap it and maintain it every year without putting your body into a flare! Just be sure to get plastic ornaments and you are good to go! #actuallyautistic #autism #autistic #autisticadults #neurodiversity #autismadvocate #autisticartist #disabled #disability #autismcommunity #EDS #MCAS #chronicillness #chronicpain #spoonie #spoonielife #mentalhealth #invisibleillness #butyoudontlooksick #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ADHD #spoonieproblems #mastcellactivationdisorder #fibromyalgia #chronicillness

There were so many reasons that I was unable to attend school like everyone else, and I had no idea. After pushing through for so many years, I was luckily able to start homeschooling in seventh grade due to what we thought were chronic migraines. I now know that it was sensory overload. Something I had not even heard of at the time. There were so many questions that had answers, but because I was undiagnosed, and had no idea that I was autistic those questions remained unanswered until I was 37 years old. It shouldn’t be this way. I found myself becoming more miserable by the hour at school, due to so many factors, and would absolutely collapse when I got home or have a complete and total meltdown. I was one person at school and a completely different person at home. That’s why knowing that we are autistic is so important. That way we can get the proper accommodations to make life for us, at the bare minimum, on an even playing field with everyone else. Was this something that happened to you as well? #actuallyautistic #autism #autisticadults #autismawareness #autisticwomen #autisticpride #neurodivergent #latediagnosedautistic #autisticproblems

But unfortunately, it took all of these things for my husband and me to find out we are autistic.The signs were there long before our diagnosis.Why do we always find the answers when things are at their worst? Why do we have to be on the edge of death for anyone to listen to us? Things have to change. Did you have a similar experience?#actuallyautistic #autism #autistic #autisticadults #neurodiversity #autismadvocate #neurodiverse
