Growing up I thought i was an alien. Everyone knew this about me, but no one had bothered to tell me. Somehow everyone could tell and i didn't know what gave it away
Anyway, turns out I'm neurodivergent and went completely undiagnosed until now

okay this is possibly a long shot, but does anyone have any recommendations for a more autism friendly smoke detector/fire alarm?
My sister is autistic and very sensitive to loud noise. Our current alarm is quite loud and is extremely distressing. When it's gone off, my sister freezes in all the panic instead of trying to leave. So, the main concern is that, in case of a real fire, she will not be able to get out in time.
Has anyone out here found any alternatives that work for them?
In high school, one of my friends said they thought they had ocd. I felt this huge relief. Finally someone who could understand!
So one time, I'm talking about how much I struggled to get out of the house in the morning. Getting ready often involved hour-long ocd loops. On bad days, i remember brushing my teeth until my gums bled.
And my friend just stared at me, because he didn't have ocd "like that". Turns out, he didn't have ocd at all.
I never talked about my ocd again

My hopping tic has been making a comeback, and I hate it so much. It's not the most disruptive, but it's fairly awkward
Consequences of Selective Mutism
I grew up with selective mutism. If you met me today, it would be hard to believe. As an adult, I've started to notice little quirks left over from sm.
I'm not good with names. Frankly, it's because I never bothered with learning anyone's name before. I had no use for it. When i met someone new, i was seldom comfortable enough to speak around them. My communication was limited to gestures, so names were replaced by pointing. If i used someone's name it usually meant i trusted that person enough to speak. To this day, names feel deeply intimate to me.
I tend to sneak up on people. I still struggle to initiate conversation especially if someone can't see me. I frequently surprised my roommate because i didn't make any noise when i approached. When we had mice, I saw them more often then anyone because they didn't run as i entered the room.
Mispronouncing & Spoonerism. I suddenly found myself stumbling over words and mixing up syllables more often, especially in English. As someone with social anxiety, this was distressing at first. Of course, it was only natural that I made more mistakes. I was speaking more!

I think disability justice would be easier if abled people understood that being disabled is a mixture of all three of
I can’t do that without negative consequences
I can’t do that unless I have support for it
I can’t do that
and that trying to treat one of these as if it’s another one will get you nowhere.
Unconventional Autism Advice:
When I was in school, my classmates would frequently take my fidgets from me. If you find yourself in a similar situation, one phrase that has served me well is "That's been in my mouth."
Now, whether or not this statement was true, it still proved effective. Not only would they set my fidget down, but they weren't likely to take it again afterwards.
I was never assessed for autism, but was still raised as an autistic kid. My sister was diagnosed with autism with I was 6. At lot of the things my parents did to help my sister also benefited me. I grew up in an environment where I was well regulated, so it wasn't until my mid to late teens that my autism became apparent
The sheer amount of social skill games forced upon us as kids!
Let's play a card game:
Or maybe family board game night:
Sure, you can play a game on your ipad:
Oh and don't forget my favorite computer game:
