6 ways I make hygiene easier for me as an Autistic 🧵
I make brushing my teeth a stim.

I try to brush as fast as I can. It helps me focus on the challenge, rather than the sensation.
I use shower fizzies.

Releasing a pleasant smell in the shower helps me relax, and gives me a positive sensation to anchor me.

Ways I Plan to Make my House “Autistic-Guest-Ready” once I have my own place: 🧵
Context if you’re new here: I’m Autistic and so are a bunch of my friends! I want them to feel as welcome as possible.
I plan to go to garage sales, thrift stores, and flee markets and collect different dishes and silverware.

I want people to be able to pick what is closest to their favorite mug/ plate/ fork/ etc so there are fewer sensory issues at meal time!

Stimming is the oil that keeps the gears of my brain turning smoothly.
I work from home and do almost none of my work sitting in chairs. I’m pacing for about half the day. When I’m not doing that I’m sitting somewhere weird. When I am sitting down it’s usually in a weird way. And when I sit normally it’s because I’m doing art — a stim in itself.
And that’s been a life-changing set-up for me. Stimming all day has been a major part of healing from trauma, becoming mentally healthy, and avoiding brain fog.

Purity Culture and Autism was a catastrophic combination in my childhood. Here’s 5 ways: 🧵
1️⃣ Autistics can go into meltdown and even be in pain from uncomfortable clothing.

Purity culture teaches that you need to wear a lot of clothing at all times, and often demands scratchy, chafing, thick, hot clothing styles like Bermuda shorts, Prairie dresses, and extra layers.
(This doesn’t mean there’s no Autistics who like these clothing styles — Autistics are a very diverse bunch. I’m saying that Purity Culture ideology is often used to demand extremely rigid dress codes that leave little wiggle room, literally or figuratively.)

I’m thinking about putting together a zoom “candlelight” Christmas service for the disabled people who cannot access church because of ableism/ illness/ trauma/ etc.

No hymns or traditional church songs, short, online, accessible.

Would anyone be interested?
Everyone, regardless of religion, would be welcome. Doctrinally, we’d be very inclusive. No complex theology discussed. Just a simple message of “Merry Christmas, you are not alone, yay Jesus.” The basics.
If anyone would be interested in helping put this together/ organize this/ lead a portion of the service/ etc let me know.

As long as you worship Jesus you’re qualified to lead in this service — like I said, doctrinally inclusive.

Protestant, Catholic, LDS all count.
