-hearing tiny beautiful sounds like water droplets and leaves crunching
-knowing lots of fun trivia from special interests over the years
-brightly colored things that make ur eyes happy
-that feeling when someone asks you to tell them about sth you know a lot about and it’s infodump time !!!!!!
-the Good Foods™
-when ur logical and rational thinking helps you solve a problem or think of something other people wouldn’t
-nice textures are So Nice: cats, very soft blankets, smooth and cold stones, the inside of a brand new sweatshirt

(we could all use some autism positivity. pls reblog and add ur own! it’s ok if they contradict each other or if u don’t relate to all of them; we’re all different)

-happy stimming: when you feel so good it overflows into your whole body so all of you is just!!!!!
-making connections that no one else sees bc while looking for the words to describe something it just clicks into place with something completely different
-crunchy foods
-being so in touch with your identity bc you overanalyze everything, including yourself
-music that you can’t sit still to
-really tight hugs
-petting dogs and holding them and hugging them and playing and they never get bored of you!!
-the sheer joy of learning something new in your SIs
-memorizing things and repeating them over and over in a super SI/echolalia combo
-when you find those people who you don’t have to pretend with and can just be yourself without having to worry
-seeing yourself in fictional characters who are universally adored

-being so happy that you bounce up on your toes

-rocking and getting into a rhythm

-when a room has a Good Smell

-swivel chairs

-touching soft things like nice scarves to your face

-when you find a really good mouth noise and repeat it over and over

-spinning in circles

-sweaters with long sleeves so you can play with the cuffs

-when you don’t have to emote like a neurotypicalTM but instead use the body language that comes naturally

-the shimmy joy of paint mixing videos

-All the fuzzy things. (Blankets, socks, random fuzzy/soft fabric)
-shiny things and how you can’t stop stating at them
