We're all just a bit odd here. I'm asexual, genderless (agender?), farm kid who is away at college currently. My preferred pronouns: neutral ze or xe.

I tend to drift slowly from fandom to fandom and there's a few different things you'll see around: Sherlock, Avengers, Firefly, etc. I do tend to posts about my life and issues relevant to me.

Self-stimulating soothers in social situations: Part One: Introduction and Stim Kit

bittergrapes:

This is a series for neurodivergents and people on the autism spectrum as well as anyone with social anxiety, agoraphobia, or other socially-induced anxieties. I would like to note that I, personally, suffer from mild agoraphobia, strong social anxiety, and am neurodivergent (or as Howie put it, ‘near-autie’). These are things that I have utilized on social situations based on my own personality, specifically my proclivity to ritualistic behavior, low frustration threshold, overstimulation, hypersensitivity, and shutdowns/meltdowns.

I don’t think I am neurodivergent but I found this useful for when I have my “bad days” because some of the things you listed are similar to what I have done in the past to deal with myself. I think that I will need to start carrying some different items to help replace some of the bad things I sometimes do to myself. Thank you!
