Autism isn't a disorder
It's a spectrum, and the deep end shit's worse than most disorders.
Some end up unable to communicate at all, some walk like raptors, some have sounds hurt them more than normal, others have problems with getting stuck on things, it doesn't look fun.
Not to mention extreme sensitivities to things like texture of food and clothing, hating things or people touching them, extreme āstimulation overloadā especially in public settings sometimes resulting in debilitating frequent panic attacks or other āoutburstā type behaviors that may result in harming themselves, difficulty understanding identifying or conveying ones emotions much less controlling themā¦
These are just some of the struggles Iāve seen talked about. Obviously every individual experiences it differently. But.
Iāve seen some rarely report in more extreme scenarios a constant feeling of internal discomfort inside their skin? Sort of described as an internal sensory overload that is constant, and it varies what the physiological experience feels like but, from what Iāve heard, it all basically sounds like a form of torture
