Late-identified #ActuallyAutistic people, I'd love to hear what your meltdowns look like.
I feel like much of my time is spent with disregulated body sensations. I often feel an urge to DO something but I get so twisted up in executive function indecision-making + ableist shame/judgement about looking "wrong," and with 5 decades of "moving with the sole purpose of not being noticed," that I only melt down on the inside.

Ok wow that’s definitely warranting the CW so thank you. This is a good resource even though it is definitely stimulating.
The autistic urge to believe you don’t take things literally, because it is said that autistic people take everything literally, and you only take some things literally - not everything - with one of the things you take literally being the word “everything” (in this context).
