When I am nonverbal, I use other ways to communicate. I might send someone a text or write stuff down. I might use picture cards or an AAC app. It will make it less distressing if you can find a way to communicate your needs during these periods.

People with hyposensitivity can have meltdowns based off sensory needs. Not getting enough sensory stimulation can be as distressing as getting too much. A lack of sensory stimulation can cause all sorts of problems.

I'm not a parent, I am a 17 year old girl with Asperger's Syndrome who does this behaviour still. I can 100% confirm with you that it is a compulsion. If you see the food, you crave it.

I have known him and been interested in him since we were 11. He was also a bit quirky and loved drama like me. I looked up to hi...

I am quite confused because i have a friend that i rely on way too much. At first i confused my behaviour and obsession for him as romantic, but it's not that. I can not get through the day without talking to them, because it makes me happy and calms me down when i am in a rage. I get quite upset wh...
