(Barely) Adulting Autistic! #NeuroDiverseSquad
Is your Autistic childhood habit of lining things up as you play, organizing toys, and objects reflected in your Autistic Adult self?
I find myself being absurdly accurate and uniform when chopping veggies. (The pic above is simply one example of many!)
I'm so precise when chopping veggies when I'm not trying that if I actually did it intentionally it would look like food from Minecraft. I have to laugh because I have actually been told years ago that the veggies don't all have to be perfect, when I was volunteering, and I notice that other people just cut the veggies and it's odd to me. I like to cook but I like my veggies uniform unless I'm going for a certain aesthetic such as a rustic dish. Even then they are pretty equal in size of not uniform. I'm over sharing... Moving on...
I see this as an adult manifestation of lining my toys up. It's relaxing having a little piece of controlled, organized piece of the world to myself. The Autistic version of a staycation that's deeply needed in even more uncertain times like these. #AutisticAdults #Autism #ADHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity #AutisticRoutine
