If you think about it crafting such as knitting, sewing, crocheting and other crafts can be a form of stimming. As many craft activities involve repetitive movements. Lots of neurodivergent people often enjoy crafting.

1: Two octopi are sitting on carpet. The octopus on the left is green and has a yellow belly. She has eyelashes and a smiley face. There is a golden flower on her head. The octopus on the right is tie-dye print and has the colours pink, yellow, green and blue on her. Her tentacles are the four varying colours. Her eyes are closed and she is smiling. She is wearing a green bow. Her belly is white and has "choose kindness" written on it. She is wearing a badge with "I am Autistic" written on it. The green octopus says "Wow you're Autistic" the Tye-dye octopus says "yep"

2: The green octopus is emptying a packet of tooth picks on the ground. The packet says that there are 300 toothpicks inside.

3: The toothpicks are all on the ground. The green octopus says "How many toothpicks are there?" The Tye-dye octopus says "300"

4: Same as image 3 except the octopi are saying different things. The green octopus says "Wow how did you know that?" The Tye-dye octopus says "it says that there are 300 toothpicks on the packaging."

My loops worked hard for their money last night. Some people who live near me were having a party and playing loud music. In the past neighbours parties have caused me to have meltdowns but whith my loops I can't hear the music at all. I am so thankful for them. Later in the night after the party there was a thunder storm and my dog was panting which like loud music is triggering to me but the loops cut the thunder and my dogs panting out. I slept pretty well last night with no meltdowns which is great.

The sunflower lanyard means that the person wearing it has a hidden disability or medical condition. I wear my sunflower lanyard because I am Autistic and I have Agoraphobia. I have made an area where people can get the sunflower lanyard on my island. My maker code is MA-7663-0385-7852 if you want any of these designs.

Your comments on  my previous Tumblr post about Autistic facial expressions has really given me alot of food for thought. I have read all your comments and had a good think about them.

I thank you all for pointing out the mistake that I had made in believing that Autistic people didn't make facial expressions like the photo pictured of Music.

Every Autistic person is unique and I shouldn't put people into boxes and think that one thing is true for all Autistic people.

I apologise for any offense or hurt that my post has caused anybody especially referring to facial expressions like Musics as being strange.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn a new thing about Autism and the variations of Autistic people.

Yours Sincerely

The Autistic Agoraphobe.

Bluey is one of my special interest and has been for about four years now. I was excited to find out that Hammerbarn (Bunnings Warehouse) was selling the gnomes. So this morning my mum and I got up early and went down to our local Hammerbarn. I couldn't go into the store because of my Agoraphobia but I stood near my car and watched people coming in and out of thr store. I saw a boy wearing a Bluey tshirt and a lady wearing a Hammerbarn apron. I also saw a sign with Bluey on it. There were some people cooking sausages near the entrance of the store and I heard a man talking about the Hammerbarn Bluey episode.

Happy Halloween!!!

This year I dressed up as Addie from A Kind of Spark. I feel as though I am like Addie because we are both Autistic and have a strong sense of justice and fight for what we believe in.

1: This is a picture of me dressed up as Addie. I am a white woman in my 20s. I have dark brown hair pulled up at the back and I am wearing a flower crown with yellow flowers. I am wearing sunflower earrings. I have demin overalls and a purple and white horizontal striped shirt on. I have an old key around my neck on a string. I am sitting down and I'm holding a Jackel lantern.

Image Descriptions:

1: I am in  a hot pink Barbie box with "Barbie" written on the top of it in white writing and a white shape of Barbies head. I am a white woman with dark brown hair tied up into a bun. I am wearing a pink rose flower crown on my head. I have white flower earrings on my ears. I am wearing a pink orange and white floral dress with a woolley cardigan that has pink and orange flowers on it. I am also wearing a green lanyard with sunflowers on it. I am holding Tay-boo who is a pink furby.

2:I am near some pink balloons. I am holding a speech bubble shaped sign beside Tay-boo which makes it look like Tay-boo is saying "life in plastic it's fantastic." End Descriptions.
