“discovering you’re autistic” moods

elsinore-snores:

• am i acting more autistic because i know im autistic now or did i always act like this and never notice
• OH THAT’S WHY I DO THAT
• finally allowing yourself to act on all your suppressed autistic behaviors 
• buying lots of toys to stim with because YOU CAN and YOU SHOULD have them
• loosening up on yourself in regards to all the things you used to do that other people thought were weird
• not being afraid to stim or fidget in public anymore because you remind yourself its what you need to do to be comfortable and you as a disabled person have a right to be comfortable
• finally learning coping mechanisms 
• learning how to IMPROVE your life
• accepting yourself and giving yourself the rest you deserve
