Yes I talk, or rather text, too much. I mostly just add my two cents to other posts, but I'll try not to where it's not welcome.

FACTS! Say It Louder For The NT's In The Back!!!

FACTS! Say it louder for the NT's in the back!!!

ND culture is that the "taking stuff literally" thing goes in both directions.

No, allistics, I'm NOT exaggerating, saying things between the lines, being metaphorical, emphatic, or sarcastic, or anything like that. I'm being LITERAL. So when I say something, take me seriously and at face value, damnit!!

I just ran into this on my feed, and I'm having trouble looking up the info, so maybe someone here could tell me (please?);

What are endogenic systems and traumagenic systems, in regards to mental illness (and maybe autism)?

is it weird or normal to have a shutdown instead of a meltdown? like i’m talking about them overlapping and shutdown taking over meltdown kind of thing.

for example, i’m in a highly distressing situation, either in class, the store, on a trip or anywhere else where there is lots of sensory input, changes, new things and people.

rather than starting to pace, hit my head, scream, punch things and cry my brain goes into shutdown and reboots to avoid a meltdown, and i go into non-verbal autopilot mode until the reboot is done and it feels like i’m starting on a clean slate. zero viruses detected.

so is that normal? i don’t like meltdowns because i can get violent, so shutdowns prevent that, so is it like a coping mechanism or something?

also is referring to my brain as a computer system strange? media and the society overall seems to view autistics as robots and many autistics don’t feel like it’s accurate and rather offensive. but my brain has always operated like that.

Shutdowns vs meltdowns are completely normal and individual. Many (not all) Autistics will also switch from physical meltdowns to more internalised ones (shutdowns) as we get older.

We may not even have meltdowns or shutdowns until life circumstances pitch us enough difficulties to cause one. And some never have them at all.

And yes, I think of my brain like a computer system, too! So all normal!!

I would say Spoilers, but you've likely seen the GIFs if you're reading this. That said:

This is equal parts sweet and sad - it is so obvious that Crosshair's at his lowest and trying to get Omega to escape without him. Thankfully she doesn't buy this, and matches his stubbornness... and maybe his sass, too. 😅 Also, the fact that he's still helping her despite still trying to convince her to leave him. 🥺

*inhales deeply* ..... oof. I felt this one in the pit of my stomach.

nd culture is not having anything to say and then one of your special interests comes up naturally and you think "talking about this has gotta be better than the silence right?" and next thing you know your 40 min into an info dump and the other person is barely paying attention.

How would one go about finding out how high ones support needs are? Is there some kinda test you can do to check if you're too lazy to do something or just lack the spoons or something?

There aren't any tests to determine one's support needs. Support needs are determined by how much help is required to get through the day.

This includes:

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as showering, dressing, eating, toileting etc

Communication abilities

Physical requirements (mobility aids)

Mental health requirements

Schooling needs/after school needs

And more that aren't coming to my mind at the moment.

A low needs person still needs help in many areas. They just can complete most tasks with little to no help.

Moderate needs will need prompting in many areas and help, but is capable of some independent tasks.

High needs will require daily help in most areas most days.

Now, I'll start with the important notice that high needs individuals can have good days where they don't need much help. This never invalidates them as a high needs person.

Low needs people can have bad days and need more help than usual. They are not high need, however, and shouldn't speak over high need voices.

And every mix in between.
