Arthur :RainbowInfinity:<p>One of the biggest problems in my life, which also causes me depression, is loneliness. </p><p>I am 30 years old and I have had practically no friends my whole life. I only had a few short-term online friendships that disappeared over time. I currently have two female friends, but they also do not live in my area. </p><p>But I feel the greatest loneliness regarding relationships. So far, I have only had one 2.5-year relationship, which ended 7 years ago. Since then, I have had trouble finding someone, and it is almost impossible for me. Lately, I feel so bad about it that I don't even want to live anymore. And the longer this loneliness lasts, the worse it gets. Moreover, I don't see a way out of this situation, since I have trouble dating. </p><p>But more about that in another post next time.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Depression</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anxiety</span></a></p>

starfruitsoda<p>Hi, I’m Star Fruit (not my real name). </p><p>I’m autistic, ADHD. </p><p>Disabled in body and spirit, but work full time as a remote nurse. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease 13 years ago. Chronic pain of several varieties. Trauma survivor. </p><p>I identify as she/they, most often describing myself as “femme-adjacent”. I mainly identify as aro/ace, and even when I experience attraction it’s ambivalent at best. </p><p>I’m a gamer, love cats (even the naughty ones, they have their reasons). I’m an elder millennial and fat liberationist. Pragmatic anarchist. </p><p>I look like a 40 year old mom if you see me in the streets.

olena<p>I realized today: it’s not just about special interests. I just love sharing knowledge. </p><p>When there’s a person nearby who may want to know something I know - I feel urge to share. It doesn’t necessarily have to be related to my special interests, may be just something I know of. Like, when, for example, a coworker gets transferred from another office to ours - I will be glad to tell them in details, with sending points on the map and explaining how to arrive there, which options there are to shop for very different things, to eat out, to go entertain the kids, where are the closest public transportation stops and how to buy the tickets. Or what the bureaucratic procedures here are and where to go for each. Or where everything is in the office, when the deliveries come, what problems do the furniture and appliances have. </p><p>Like, every time someone is looking for some info and I have it - I’d be glad to provide it. I feel really happy after I was able to provide someone with the information they were interested in and didn’t know before. Even if the info itself is not about things I am interested in(sometimes you just happen to know something)</p><p>In my childhood and adolescence, I’ve been called Walking encyclopedia sometimes - and I kinda am extremely happy when I happen to be one. Even if after that human interaction I’d be drained of all the energy, it’s worth it: I like to be useful in this way. Even with people which I don’t actually like. Even in situations when I wouldn’t talk otherwise, if you ask me about the info about something I know anything about - not just my interest - I would really start sharing all the info I have on that topic. As if you activated some interactive encyclopedia. As if being one is actually the meaning, the objective, the very sense of my life.</p><p>Is it a common autistic experience or more a thing of AuDHD? Or is it just my own thing that has nothing to do with being neurodivergent?</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autistic</span></a><br><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a><br><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a><br><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> <br><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodiversity</span></a> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>

Niamh Garvey<p>I keep finding the music in cafes and shops extra loud at the moment. I can't tell if the volume is turned up everywhere in summer, or if I am currently more sensitive to sound and thus perceive it as louder. What is especially bothersome is that music is pumped outside as well as inside in summer, so there is no break and this makes it harder to calm my sensory system between locations. <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a><br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/SensoryProcessing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SensoryProcessing</span></a></p>
