Tldr: To Fall Asleep Fast, Relax All Your Muscles(face, Arms, Legs) Until Your Whole Body Is Dead. Then

Tldr: To fall asleep fast, relax all your muscles(face, arms, legs) until your whole body is dead. Then try to think of nothing. Focus on a static image like sitting in the dark. It'll work better the more you do it.

I'm used to hypnosis and this is actually one way to get in a relaxation state. Once you're in it if you just let your consciousness drift away it's very easy to fall asleep.

Reminder not to refer to trans peoples' deadnames as their "real name" or "actual name". It's birth name or deadname (or legal name if they haven't yet changed it). The name they use is their "real," "actual" name.

Sensory issues aren’t about fear.  They’re causing physical pain.

So I see a lot of people (mostly not actually autistic people) talking about sensory issues in terms of fear.  They’ll say things like “oh, he’s afraid of the vacuum.”  

This, of course, isn’t correct.  It’s not that the person is afraid of the vacuum, it’s that it’s literally causing them pain.  Like, literally.  If you put an autistic person in an FMRI and expose them to one of their sensory issues you’ll see their pain centres light up. 

So, why is this a problem?  Well, most people view fear as something that can be overcome.  So they’ll look down on people that let themselves be controlled by it.  Which isn’t good.  The other thing is that the tried and tested way to overcome fear is through exposure therapy.  However, if the thing is pain and not fear, all you’re going to do is numb yourself from the pain.  Which is generally not the best way to deal with things. 

So, if you’re autistic, remember that your sensory issues are part of how your brain physically works, and you can’t just will yourself out of them.  If you’re not autistic, don’t dismiss people’s sensory issues so flippantly.  Rember it’s literally causing them pain.

This fanfiction is hella underrated and I have rarely seen a frickin Wattpad Rock Lee fanfiction that good.

There are good warnings for people who need them.

Everyone go read and give some love!

Also at the beginning, being in a club and all, I really couldn't relate to the reader. But as the chapters advance, I realised she's like the only reader I could ever kinda identify with.

Hey guys, I just published chapter 12 of my Rock Lee x Reader fanfic! I’m really excited about this chapter, pls check it out when you get the chance! I’d really appreciate any feedback, comments, or votes!! Thank you sm <3

People who bitch about others writing "Might Guy" instead of "Maito Gaï" are now under the obligation of calling Lee "Rokku Rī".
