For those who had gotten diagnosed with something else before they were diagnosed with #Autism. What was it that you were diagnosed prior? For me: 1. Oppositional Defiant Disorder 2. ADHD (Combined) 3. Anxiety 4. Depression 5. Certain learning disability #ActuallyAutistic

Ooops been using IG & Threads more… Follow me on there! My user is @AutisticMama96 on both!

Do you understand?

I’ve been so overstimulated lately… #ActuallyAutistic

So I unintentionally did this tonight putting groceries away. Put them near the fridge but look how I did it 😂 #ActuallyAutistic

The people who say ‘but you don’t look autistic’ can’t even describe what they think an autistic person looks like.

Being postpartum from having a baby also being #ActuallyAutistic is a rough mix.

@knovastreams I’m lactose intolerant too. It sucks. But I just had my second baby a little over a month ago, and when I was pregnant I could handle dairy. Same with my first pregnancy 5 1/2 years prior. But when I’m not pregnant 🙃 I’m miserable lol

Gladly suffering for dairy (I’m lactose intolerant)

@natsabin I had a miscarriage January 2023, I was due 9/1/23. I then got pregnant with my rainbow baby May 2023, I just had my rainbow baby a month ago 2/8/24 💙👶🏼 I had a healthy pregnancy prior. It can happen to anyone but you will get your rainbow baby

Autistic anxiety triggers. What would you add? 💭

@sensorystories_ I got misdiagnosed as ODD with ADHD. Still not diagnosed with autism tho. D

My autism was mislabeled as... Friendly but weird... annoying... self-centered... too much... not enough... introverted... finicky... overly sensitive... talks too much... smart, but... capable, but... [insert positive attribute here] but...... (there's always a but)

@Autistic_Lia I do some happy movements with my arms and hands. I get strange looks. I believe it’s the autism. Even tho I’m undiagnosed lol

To other autistic people, do you have any happy stims?

My son will be a month old on Friday 😳

So I had my baby boy on 2/8/24. The day after my due date. Going from 1 to 2 kids is not easy.

Due date is today and I’m currently in labor !

Due February 7th,2024 with my second baby, first son!

Baby boy is comfy inside #StillPregnant #38weeks 🤰🏼👶🏼💙🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Still pregnant 🤰🏼 Over it… come on baby boy ! 👶🏼💙

Anyone else pull their hair out? Wish I could stop… been dealing with it since I was 18 years old. Just about to be 28 next month. #Trichotillomania #ActuallyAutistic

The holidays were a lot being #ActuallyAutistic & pregnant 🤰🏼
