Physical Issues and Autism: Anyone Else?

Sometimes I get like this, my parents ask me if I'm high but I'm not. I'm just kinda not functioning well in the moment.

I have tremors or physical jerk like movements that happen more when I am overwhelmed. It does impact my speech at times but I will have to pay attention to my walking and other movements now.

Hypermobility is related to neurodivergence and can cause lots of these things. I have heds.

I tend to space out and forget things at work a lot. I think I unconsciously developed a "worksona" that's cheerful and a bit ditzy so I get away with a lot more 😅 Still not a great thing to deal with in a healthcare setting

I get really bad at speaking sometimes. It’s probably because I’ve gone nonverbal but I wasn’t allowed to do that as a child so I don’t allow myself now…

I can relate

I know exactly what you're talking about. It's almost like your limbs are moving through water and they're super stiff, at least for me. I don't like when people get mad about it or anything because it's just something you can't help, and it definitely feels helpless sometimes when you really want to or need to do something.

Idk if it counts but my pregnancy has made all of my artistic symptoms way worse. Plus some of the pregnancy symptoms has made it really had to just exist in my own skin rn.

Autism effects your nervous system so it does have physical symptoms including a decrease in motor skills! Speech impediments and other language skill delays are also common in people with autism and both can get worse when your needs aren't taken care of. Autism also can effect your ability to feel things the way people typically do because it effects your introspection which.
