I Hate Having To Plan My Outfits Around My Knee Braces
I hate having to plan my outfits around my knee braces
don’t get me wrong I love my braces and I’m so lucky to have them (it took sooooo long to get them since I needed custom ones) but damn it’s annoying too. Like finding pants to fit my thighs is hard enough but trying to find pants that fit my braces too or that my braces can fit over is so hard gahhh
Who knows maybe I’ll start posting my outfits to help me feel more comfortable and confident with them

YES not all autistic people have the same symptoms
YES autism symptoms will not present the same way in everyone
YES sometimes different autistic people will have seemingly contradictory needs
NO none of this means that it's okay to act like one autistic person being able to do something means that all autistic people should be able to do it if they just tried harder
your autistic friend who eats vegetables just fine is not a weapon to use against autistic people who struggle with vegetables. your autistic sibling who can do small talk is not a weapon to use against autistic people who can't do small talk. your high empathy autism is not a weapon to use against low empathy autistics. etc etc. what happened to "if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person"
You may wonder, why do some disabled people not shower often? Well, you see, showers are actually quite intense trials designed to kill us. The steam? Makes the blood in our bodies go wild, fucks up our balance and tries to make us pass out. You have to be standing or sitting. Standing is hell and sitting is a peculiar purgatory. Reaching for bottles and soap and shit requires moving The Body, which is in constant pain that will only get worse the more we move and so will the fog that envelopes our brains and impairs our thinking.
Don't even get me started on drying off. "Why don't some of you shower often" I don't know, why don't you run marathons regularly? Because it sucks and you can't, that's why.
POTS really just is like microdosing death sometimes, feels like someone clicked restart
HOLY SHIT MY FUCKING LEGS HELP ME
