I have a mind thats my sanctuary to where I escape from the cruel world

Since it’s day 15 of @autie-jake’s tag and it’s a free day to talk about anything, I’m going to list 15 reasons why I love being autistic!

1. I love being different from the people around me, it’s made me realize that being different is a good thing.

2. I love my stims!! I get so much joy and happiness from stimming and it’s the most amazing feeling!

3. I love being apart of such a wonderful, kind, understanding and accepting community!

4. I love the way my brain thinks and processes things. I have a very logical way of thinking which can be super beneficial.

5. I love having those Good Sensory Feels™

6. I love being able to connect with animals in a way most neurotypicals can’t. I can relate to animals more than I can humans.

7. I love having special interests!! Life wouldn’t be the same without them!!

8. I love having samefoods that bring me comfort and happiness!

9. I love hiding under blankets, cuddling my stuffed animals and stimming to all my favourite songs.

10. I love being able to daydream for hours on end, creating amazing adventures in my head.

11. I love how honest and literal I am. People can always rely on me to tell the truth.

12. I love being able to focus so intensely on things. When I start something I do it to the best of my ability and always have to finish it.

13. I love my attention to detail and my ability to notice the little things in life that most people miss.

14. I love having such a strong desire to learn new things. Filling my brain with random knowledge and facts is something I really enjoy!!

it is not bad to need your accommodations.

it is not bad to depend on accommodations.

if you need the help, you need the help.

never not use/not get accommodations for fear that you'll become "too dependent" on them.
