stray autistic cat<p>Regarding "conflict" as an element of the human social world, and the prevailing modern taste for it, even the praising of it:</p><p>All I have to do is read the daily news to see how many people there are in the world, most of whom are <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/neurotypical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurotypical</span></a> persons, who seem to like conflict.</p><p>Just read the headlines of any news journal. </p><p>Just look at what we're doing to the planet. </p><p>Just look at what humans do to other humans. </p><p>So, conflict is typical. </p><p>I'm <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> </p><p>Not typical. </p><p>Give me a quiet, peaceful <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/green" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>green</span></a> forest, next to a flowing stream, alone or with a friend, just walking, not struggling, just strolling. <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>peace</span></a> </p><p>Others may differ.</p><p>Oh, that doesn't mean I won't fight back when people come at me. It doesn't mean I won't defend myself. </p><p>That doesn't mean you want to deal with me once you provoke me past a certain point. </p><p>But that's not what I want for my life. I want to get my pulse rate to a calm state. I want to have a healthy life. I want to calm the agitation. I want to get my amygdala to relax. </p><p>Because I have a very reactive <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> amygdala... and I see everything, feel everything. <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/intenseworldtheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>intenseworldtheory</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/IntenseWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IntenseWorld</span></a> </p><p>Thanks for reading.</p><p><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/allautistics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>allautistics</span></a></span> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/ActuallyAdhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAdhd</span></a> <br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/AllAutistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AllAutistics</span></a></p>

It just gives you more insights into yourself and possible tools for tweaking / channelling your behaviour.</p><p>I've had a life long interest in cognitive science, and the more I learn about how brains work the more magnificent I find them. ❤️</p>
stray autistic cat<p>Part 2 of 2</p><p>It felt so good to move like an ethereal being, one's own body as the living artistic instrument, one's own arms and legs and torso a paint brush, painting images of color, rhythm, and making visual music in three dimensional movement through time and space, kinetic poetry in motion, living in ecstasy through movement, every moment a feeling of sheer bliss, but also feeling like one is forever striving for perfection but never reaching it, or reaching it for a moment, then losing it, then finding it, wanting to make it last longer and longer, finally getting there, a day when one gets through an entire piece of complicated choreography with no error.</p><p>It profoundly breaks my heart to think about all the things I have walked away from. </p><p>No one knew my inner world. No one knew my passion, my need for art, the quiet, but extreme intensity of the ecstasy I felt, and which I thrived on. </p><p>No one had a clue. And it died.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyadhd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyadhd</span></a></span></p><p><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/intenseworldtheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>intenseworldtheory</span></a></p>
stray autistic cat<p>I studied modern dance and <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/ballet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ballet</span></a> when I was in my teens and 20s. I was drawn to it as an abstract art form. I was quite good... alas, I moved on from it lacking support. I was <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autistic</span></a>... no one knew I needed encouragement, no one knew that even though I was told a thousand fucking times by accomplished dancers and teachers that I was really, really good, I didn't believe it, but said nothing. I walked away from it.</p><p>I internalized everything. Held it all silently inside. But I was focused like a laser, unrelenting, practicing, practicing, practicing, beyond everyone else in our Hollywood studio in the Los Angeles area. </p><p>I would wake up at night doing plié exercises and leg extensions. I literally did ballet in my sleep. </p><p>For me it was a world of autistic "stim" every day, all week long, all month long. Heaven. It was ritual, routine, special interest, and hyper-focus all wrapped into one activity. </p><p>I tragically and so regretfully have no photos. When my teacher offered his students photos from one of our performances, which showed me flying through the air, my <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/hypermobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hypermobile</span></a> feet perfectly pointed, legs extended, all in perfect form, I rather cryptically, stoically and autistically declined. Who needs photos? There will be more photos on another day. </p><p>Part 1 of 2. </p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyadhd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyadhd</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/intenseworldtheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>intenseworldtheory</span></a></p>
