What are you like when you're at home?

How are you? What about when you have a meltdown or shutdown?

I'm always at my most peaceful state when I'm home.
Even when if I'm having a shutdown or having sensory problems I never feel truly out of control and desperate if I'm there, because I know that I can always go to my room and have as much time in my quiet/safe place as I want to.

I am usually fine at home, though stressed at times for not working as much as want. When parents aren't home enough, I sometimes don't wear any pants. Not that any cares. I just like doing so. I always seem to be relaxing as well.

At the moment my home life is fairly stressful. It is not the sanctuary it once was, this is nobody's fault, just due unfortunate events and will improve as steps are being made to restore the order.

I'm constantly making things with my knitting looms and French knitters. I'm addicted to making projects. I think it's almost like a stim for me.

I'm my full autistic self at home, the self I have to hide in public. I have meltdowns constantly because I can't stand loud noises and I often have to hear my dog barking, my mom yelling, the neighbors partying, etc. I like to sit on my computer alone and hate when anyone tries to disturb me. I flap my hands if I get excited about something and express anger if I'm bothered. My mom helps me do a lot of tasks, but I'm not sure anymore if it's because of my disability or because she's always told me I can't do anything right.

quite 'normal' actually. after meditating a bit to shed the stress of wherever i just came from, i can function normally and lead a typical afternoon life; assuming i have no guests around or something, obviously.

I´m usually fine at home.
Bad stuff: In periods I get very stressed because of chores and economy. I sometimes "melt Down" over bad body-feelings/experiences (just being in my body - an old problem), but not so often anymore. Right now I obsess over an old friendship gone sour.Well, such is life.
I stress over all the things I should be doing, thus missing out on what I like to do: Read, draw, paint, design objects, play music.

At best: I do a number of planned chores, play with the cat and feed him - and THEN I go to my creative stuff.
That´s the ideal. I go on the net, read about plants, mind the garden and see good friends now and then, but am actually fond of my own company.

I'm a rather large homebody so I'm naturally at peace when I'm home and often do my best work there. I've oddly missed some of the work I usually had to do around the house while I've been away this year. Can't wait to start the summer with a good day of cutting grass and then doing absolutely nothing else and staying indoors working on my stories

Home is my safe place. I'm most comfortable there.

Fine and calm at home -most of the time.

Less stressed. It's my safe zone where I can hide away from the world.

Less stressed than when I'm out but not as relaxed or happy as I should and would like to be.

I can be very stimmy at home. I flap my arms, make noises and sometimes rock. I usually just do it in my room, and my parents are used to it. Either that, or they just don't hear me doing it. XD

I am very relaxed at home, my room is my peaceful spot that I cant wait to get to after a hard day at work. When I am home I am rather in my own world, and find my room is also a great place to unwind.
