I think more people are migrating to tumblr since Threads released. Twitter is practically dying and those that don't want to go to Threads are coming here. I can tell by the increasing oddities of the last couple days. I'm like a horse with hyper sensitive ears

So I’m currently going through the process of getting an autism diagnosis as a new adult and what I’ve found is that for being a very well-known neurotype, it is very difficult to actually find information about ~being~ an autistic person.
For example, today I was having a Bad time and so I tried to look up symptoms of overstimulation so that I could put a word to how I was feeling. Every site that came up was about recognising overstimulation in your child - there weren’t any sites about how it actually <feels>. Knowing that autistic children might rock backwards and forwards and cover their ears doesn’t actually help me with my personal symptoms yaknow?
Plus it’s actually really important to be able to recognise symptoms from your point of view instead of from an outside perspective. When I had my first consultation to start my diagnosis they directly asked me, “What symptoms do you experience, and why do you think you’re autistic?” and I had a really rough time actually putting everything into words and explaining myself. I ended up absolutely bawling in the appointment and then they just sent me a link to a Betterhelp autism test and decided I met the criteria so idk what’s going on there
ANYWAY all this to say. Do y’all have any good autism resources that aren’t about autistic children/parents?
