Autistic peeps, let's talk dysautonomia! The most common seems to be POTS, but there are roughly 15 types of dysautonomia. Personally, I think there is a ton of overlap between symptoms with autistic experiences and the more I think about it the more so many of my common complaints and behaviors are related to this.
Common complaints (apart from the obvious heart rate regulation difficulties) I have that I'm wondering if you relate to: -difficulty swallowing, especially medicine or food that aren't soft are painful to swallow. -preferring soft and easy to eat foods -dry eyes and mouth when hydrated -excessive sweating even in winter -coughing in the morning and after meals from access phylum. -mild difficulty regulating body temperature -dizziness and easily car sick
bonus question: do you struggle to know what dysautonomia symptoms you lack because of your low interoception?
Wow I relate to all of these I also had no idea there were 15 types of dysautonomia I’m still trying to get a diagnosis and treatment of something more specific I just have “dysautonomia” right now with directions to drink a lot of electrolytes
