My Autistic Brain

Different, not less. My brain is wired in a beautiful, unique way!

💎

MY SUPERPOWERS

🔍

I notice details others miss

Patterns, changes, tiny things!

🎯

DEEP focus on my interests

I become an expert!

📚

Expert knowledge collector

My topics are my joy

🤔

I think in unique ways

Different perspective = gift!

💎

Honest and fair

Truth matters to me

🧩

Brilliant at patterns

I see connections!

👂My Senses Work Differently

👂Sounds
👁️Lights
👐Textures
👃Smells

That's why I might need headphones, sunglasses, or quiet spaces!

💙

💭MY CHALLENGES

🔀

Changes can feel really hard

I like knowing what's coming

😰

Some places overwhelm me

Too much input = too much!

💭

Reading faces can be tricky

Say what you mean please!

🗣️

Social stuff is tiring

I need alone time to recharge

Too much = meltdown

Not a tantrum, it's overwhelm

👀

Eye contact can be hard

I'm listening anyway!

🛠️What Helps Me Thrive

📅Knowing the plan
🏠Calm, quiet spaces
🎧Noise-cancelling
⏱️Transition warnings
My special interests!
💚People who get me
💝

My Special Interests

Not "obsessions" — they're my passions! They help me feel calm, happy, and confident.

🤗

Stimming is Self-Care

Rocking, flapping, or spinning helps my brain regulate. It's how I feel comfortable!

🌈

Being autistic is part of who I am — and that's wonderful!

🌈

I don't need to be "fixed". I need understanding, acceptance, and support.

💚
