Autistic realisation
| Being able to unmask and destress and stim and shut out the world and turn off lights and wear headphones and not have my personal space intruded on constantly and change clothes whenever and adjust rhe temperature and, wow. I have no idea how I survived not having any of that + abuse on top of it. I'm so glad I'm able to exist now
| i don't have an autism diagnosis or anything but i had the same experience. it feels so much better being able to have my room dark most of the day without getting complained at.
| Happy for you, g/u/rl. <3
| Try sex

Mhm! It is. Light can be extremely overwhelming sometimes. Not getting yelled at for being comfy is so nice for everyone I imagine, not just autistic gurls

Never! It sounds annoying

No. Is the opposite tbh. Having the freedom required to take care of my needs has made me able to feel somewhat safe and happy again
| >>933005 Ah, well I'm not living alone and away from my family anymore but atm I'm relieving some memories that I had when I was lol. Kind of funny that I read this thread at this very moment.
Right now I'm at this coffeeshop that was across the street from where I used to live and thinking about what it was like to live on my own terms for a while. It is very cathartic to be in control of things.

Mhm! I hope you can get that again. I think it's very important tbh
Also you're good with words

| After living alone for a while I've realised how fucked I really was living with my parents and shit. Being able to actually take care of myself when I'm overstimulated and stuff like that is, like, wtf. I actually feel like a human being now. When I go back to places or situations where I have little control it's a world of difference. First now that I have it I've realised that the lack of my needs as a disabled gurl being met has been a massive source of pain up until now
