Charlie Is So Autistic Coded It Isn’t Even Funny. Obscure Special Interests. Doesn’t Understand Social

I’ve noticed some common misassumptions about autistic people and verbality, so I thought I’d share some of my experiences!

If you meet me at a social occasion, I will be talkative and you will probably be surprised to know that some days I struggle with being verbal. Here’s what I might look like on a nonverbal/less verbal day

I can force myself to talk to people, but it will be draining. It may drain my energy, heighten my sensory issues, raise my stress levels, and in general lessen my wellbeing.

After a long conversation, I might need to rest/lie down.

I think of my nonverbal days as a battery recharging itself. You can still use the device, but that will just make it drain more quickly.

Not all conversations are created equal!!!!

If you think about it, the phrase “a bowl of mac and cheese” fits the format for generic YA fantasy titles

i love this type of post
