| I don't mind nor care. Personally, whether or not I'm autistic, I am never an NT. Not with the way I feel, think, sense, perceive, not just developmentally or behaviorally. And as far as I looked at other labels, popular and obscure, descriptions whether clinical or anecdotal; none of it matches the... |

Would I miss my emotionality, pre-pill self?
**** No.
Those years are filled with helpless frustration, bordering self loathing, and all the stupid accusations all around the notions of self control and maturity. |

Sigh...
And the funny trend of people having eye pains right after.
Yes, yes, they're hurt. 
No, no, this just baffles me.  |

| I'm 28, turning 29 soon more than a month from now. And I feel like my life hasn't even started yet. Even after graduating, having years of full-time job, it's just playing catch up but not enough yet for me. I hadn't found what I'm looking for yet. I hadn't found what I truly want to do with this l... |

| Possible reasons; 1 - individual differences when it came to grieving. Add autism to that bit. Maybe your emotional reaction won't be so immediate and may take years to fully emotionally express let alone process instead. 2 - emotional priorities and processes. They're not conscious. Really. This is... |

| Usually, I'd straight up abuse myself. By that, I meant neglect. Just to spite whatever my body is whining. Maximum entertainment and head content. One or the other?? No!! It was a fricking tug of war in my damn head to a point that I either had to ignore one or the other; or ignore both and do noth... |

Some did outgrew.
Some lost it instead.
There's a difference. Former meant an internal change in me, usually for the better.
The latter is an internal change, not for the better. It involves forms of burnouts. |

My sleep is segmented.
4am to 8am, and 10am to 4pm.
Uhh.
Doesn't help that I'm not feeling well right now. |

| Never. But that's because of how I express my special interests; It's not in a form of taking over the conversation and start infodumping... It's not even in a form of enthusiasm; I like to keep it to myself and I like secrets and secrecy. If anything... At one point it was crafting. I made it visib... |

| My internal noise is solved by taking birth control pills. It's like gaining alexithymia. And it's how I imagined it and I like it. Now I'm relearning how to function with it. It may change everything for me. A lot of it had changed and I hadn't even gone all out yet. Hierarchy is something to do wi... |

| There are a few accounts about alexithymia and clumsiness, related to interoception; therefore a degree of issues related to the proprioception and vestibular senses. I can confirm it's somehow true. Most at the time, I feel this whole body tightness, related to where I would put my body. Among othe... |
