Not fun or quirky

[@FairFeline]

Found out I autistic after my mom took me to the doctor because of strange bald patches when I was younger. The doctor said it’s normal for kids with “Asperger’s” to pull their hair. Turns out my doctor assumed my family knew I was on the spectrum, so she didn’t say anything.

[@windjager2177]

How did the ynot know you were diagnosed with aspbergers tho?

[@lolaroberts5958]

I’m literally not diagnosed or anything but I still gave a wound on my scalp that I can’t leave alone from a table fork I had jammed into my head 2 years ago. It’s like “you’re fine” and I tell myself I’m fine and normal but something ain’t right

[@notyounoo5812]

Besstiie we need to adress this

[@TheSilliest_Cat]

Fellow hair puller my scalp looks like it got ranover.

[@ashleywalden3971]

My husband went to a Dr recently, and told him that’s it’s not necessarily panic attacks he’s having, but a continuous ADHD (which he already knew) and a form of autism. He will not relent telling me I have the same issue. No, I’m just pissed off that I’ve been the bread-winner for years🙄 & finally turned to alcohol to get away from the constant talking and when I actually say, “You don’t see me, do you?”… he just keeps on talking. I’m getting duct tape for his birthday. Oh, just got a call that he locked his keys in the truck, so gotta go rescue him. But dang, don’t I love him to the end of this world ❤️

[@BB-TheCandleFairy]

I have destructive meltdowns but still say stuff like “I’m so autistic” over small things because it’s just another form of ‘laughing’ at myself in a social situation

[@Levent_Geiger_Fan_4_EVERRR]

Idk why but i do the same, mainly on my eyebrows

[@Ash-Felts]

Yes, eyebrows and I used to have the horrible habit of pulling out my eyelashes. Personally, not a fan. Rate it -10/10

[@t1dex.]

Eyelashes are my thing, it’s lame

[@KinleeTheOfficial]

Instead of hair pulling I pick at any imperfection or scab and now my face looks like the grinches when he tried to shave

[@justyana488]

I am autistic though 😭 and i say that every time when others get wierded out by how expressive i am.

[@millenniumfox9218]

For me I mainly bite my nails and claw at my skin

[@Damien_power]

People think I fake being autistic because of those girls.

[@fiefiequeen]

I’m autistic and I get so overwhelmed that I do this and all my dad calls me is retarted

[@ravynboerner8798]

Lmao i have a scar on my forehead to prove just how fun shit gets. There emotions, then theres big emotions.

[@i_drink_seawater]

As an autistic person who has two (currently) stims involving banging my head against the wall repetitively, I feel this.

[@realhanyuu]

same but i rip my skin not my hair😭

[@RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

ehat

[@D34D_D1SC0]

This is so real

[@othrwrldlysystm]

literally had a meltdown a couple weeks ago because the salad bar at my local grocery store ran out of craisins. had to go to my car so i didn't have a public meltdown and tried so fucking hard to stop myself from slamming my head into my knees

[@EarwigWCUE]

When I was like 10 I didn’t like how some of my hair felt on my forehead so I cut a chunk off so that it was about a centimetre long. That same chunk is still shorter than the rest of my hair 3 years later 😅

[@sbocaj22]

If that one chunk is shorter then it’s because you didn’t cuz the rest of the hair to match it. Cutting hair from the ends doesn’t change how your hair grows because your hair grows FROM THE ROOT

[@piperadams2571]

"Omgggg im sooo autistic i literally cant leave the house without my special pen or im sooo anxious" "......... Ok cara, whatever you say. I really dont have the energy for your bs."

[@LilMissWiccan]

Literallyyyyyy it can get so bad and they dont even realize it. I barely even realize it, my meltdowns might just be adhd idk if i have autism, but i do know my meltdowns dont reach some of the levels I've seen in friends and classmates

[@evagreen1477]

My daughter and I suffer the same that sucks. Yeah, I’d rather be alone, banging my head against the wall and be out in public.

[@idonotexistrn]

Same but my eyelashes more than my hair lol

[@kodiakwolf2964]

My husband is autistic there have been moments where he’s been self violent and in those moments I work like a service animal and curl myself in his arms to prevent him from being able to reach his hair or his face. He scratches his face mainly idk if that’s common. I have an autistic son aswell though he’s very shut off and quiet it’s rather interesting to see two very different reactions on the spectrum. Not interesting like lab rats but interesting like hmm that’s something to look into yk. I love them both no matter what. Im also on the spectrum but my mother abused me into concealing it.

[@vashantiwoodley]

Real, honestly

[@tipswithliaa]

Real, it’s like ur not funny

[@magdziapl1183]

another day another meltdown

[@Snolly_goster]

Yeah, autism sucks, its not cute. I tend to scratch myself when i have meltdowns and when i was younger i would ask "why can't i be normal?" And i see people saying "Look im autistic!" For fun or views. It sucks

[@WolfHaseo914]

Hug?

[@ashleyburbank3129]

😅 I have the reverse issue my autism reverses how pain feels so I feel things that are highly painful less and things that are less painful more... So I smashed my head to blood rolls down. Not even kidding my son also has issues with high pain tolerance

[@y53r1sliv1ng]

i always hit my head 😀

[@Nouk777]

Your experience is valid but it honestly feels a bit like you're telling people that they're "not autistic enough" if they don't experience the same things you do. Yes not all people may struggle as much as you do but that doesn't mean they're not autistic. Videos like this stop people who need help from asking for it because they don't feel like they struggle enough to deserve it.

[@user-ayiy824jbd]

dude. meltdowns are a requirement for autism what are you talking about

[@selma.lovescats]

@@user-ayiy824jbdno they are not. you could also have shutdowns which are mostly common in autistic people (specifically women) who have learnt to mask around an early age. they are basically like meltdowns but internal, so you might be unable to respond to anyone or to do anything

[@rabbitheads]

Real

[@millenniumfox9218]

Yeah but also remember autism is a spectrum and it's different for everyone

[@ellasorrow4stolas445]

You cannot shop in a busy crowd without freaking out because the world sounds are coming at you all one sounds. Btw I have Autism and I hate it when people think it's quirky when I struggle to get jobs, and basic health care. 🫠🫠🫠

[@poofazzzz]

I'd pluck my hair out in a trance And try self deletion I mean i was diagnosed at 2 years old

[@BellsWithWhistles]

forever greatfull my hair grows like weeds
