I feel this 100%. I was convinced I'm being dramatic and I can stop and I need to stop and it's all in my head (in the way that I'm making it up). It took my partner a lot of talking to make me understand and see, that I know I feel this way but it's not. I understand, but I still have these feelings. I'm more okay with it now that I'm not as confused at least

Absolutely. Daily. I'm generally low needs. I have a shit ton of trauma. It seems like I'm just a trauma laced anxious person who is clumsy and dyslexic with sensory issues who also walked on their toes as a kid and ears a lot of the same thing and struggles with change.....it doesn't feel like autism to me even tho I was officially diagnosed.

Yes. I feel like a lot of mine are considered "low needs" because I don't exactly wear it on my sleeves. But like even certain consistent loud sounds make me start to cry and it's so painful. Or if my routine is slightly disrupted I have the most absolute mental breakdown to myself where I find it hard to continue on with my day. I also have an amount of sensory disorders and it all kinda ties together where I didnt realize I was having breakdowns from being over stimulation with texture and audio stuff. And I tend to go non verbal when in extremes of emotions. I feel like its not that much to point me being autistic, and when I explain it I'm a little o_O

I feel you 100%
