Rainbow’s Week, Sept 7 2025
A mutual on social media posts weekly blog posts about his life, and I thought that was a cool idea. So I’m trying it out.
My name is Azure, and I’m a member of a plural system, which means multiple people in one bodymind. We share the name Rainbow and they/them pronouns. We are multiply disabled (autism, PTSD, ME/CFS, and others) and require assistive devices and caregivers.
This week was rough. Our mental health issues got triggered 2 times very badly, in addition to our baseline of small triggers from everyday life. Our sleep schedule is just getting back to normal from the second trigger, which kept us up 8 or so hours after our usual bedtime.
We’ve also been struggling with getting enough food and water because of executive dysfunction. We physically have food and water, but our executive dysfunction makes it so there’s a mental barrier to actually consuming it. It’s not so severe that it’s an immediate problem, but it really needs to resolve in the next couple months. We have some ideas.
On a more positive note, we’ve been trying a new setup for tasks to help recover from autistic burnout. We’ve been trying to dedicate 1 hour per day (excluding bad days), while we have a caregiver over to help, to do tasks. Outside of that hour, we have to postpone all but the most urgent tasks until the next daily tasking hour. This has been semi-successful! We’re still working on it.
A less conscious decision to help with autistic burnout has been that I seem to be frontstuck. That means I’m in charge of the body and I can’t hand it off to one of my headmates (the other people who share my bodymind) even if I try. Usually, this is a problem, because most of us aren’t designed to handle that well. But my role in the system seems to be taking over when we’re in autistic burnout, so it should be fine! Last time it lasted a month.
What else… we went to a food bank? Oh, also, we got some ideas for how to wash our hair in a way that is more accessible to us. We have sensory processing disorder from autism, and certain textures are so bad for us that we’d rather endure physical pain. We’re going to try baking soda and apple cider vinegar (not together – we’re going to do it with a rinse in between) and hopefully that’ll work better. We already tried the baking soda, since we already had it in our pantry, and I think it worked great!
I’ve also been earning little bits of money by doing paid surveys and stuff. I wrote a blog post about the sites we’ve been using.
Finally, I made a website! I’m posting this on both WordPress and our new website. I’m super excited. I followed a tutorial. It’s not fancy by any means, but I’m very proud of it. It’s functional and I even changed the colors!
Thank you for reading!

Walking at night with a head full of Cannabis is so deeply soothing. The world is mine for a few hours.

Ugh, today while waiting for my accessible transit ride, I've had to sit near a Salvation Army bell-ringer who was REALLY ringing those bells. New sensory hell UNLOCKED. And I got here early, with nowhere else to go nearby, so I get to listen for another 20 minutes. Ahhh. #ActuallyAutistic #SensoryProcessingDisorder

ND fashion tip! I’ve started taking the butterflies off my stud earrings and instead bending the posts 90° to keep them in. So much more comfortable!

Oh God. The officemates are eating chips.
See, this is why I like working the night shift. Fewer people eating loud/smelly food. Fewer mouth sounds in general.

Why are sensory friendly clothes so hard to find? The only stuff I've found is outrageously priced. I spent $400 this week to get 1 pair of jeans and 3 bras. I'm grateful that I have the means to pay those prices every now and then, but how do less privileged folks with sensory disorders function? Am I looking in the wrong places for comfortable, hardware-free clothes that fit well and make me feel good?

This one is highly personal but is what I deal with daily as both a parent and writer. I aimed to give insight on #autism and the different levels, Non-Verbal, meltdowns, and other disorders that can accompany parenting/caregiving someone with #autismspectrumdisorder Also, the challenges as an author and tips at the very end!

Trying new food and drinks can be pretty intimidating for me because of my sensory processing issues. Textures in particular are a big thing 😬 #SensoryProcessingDisorder

@mariyadelano @actuallyautistic
I have #SensoryProcessingDisorder. I consulted a therapist last year (at the age of 52) thinking I might be autistic. Based on our sessions he said he wasn't sure about that, but was 100% positive I have SPD.

For #DisabilityPrideMonth, reposting my blog entry from March on "Accessibility, Ableism, and Accommodations", with regard to the National #LGBTQ Task Force's Creating Change Conference and my own experience with #SensoryProcessingDisorder, #depression, and other health conditions.

Does anyone with kids with a #SensoryProcessingDisorder (or have it themselves) have a #recommendation for a cooling weighted blanket? Ideally something that can be used on the couch (e.g. not a bed sized comforter) or even just a brand rec? My #4yo has #eczema on top of their SPD and getting too hot under a normal blanket has made their eczema so much worse now that summer is here...
#BoostsAppreciated for visibility, it's hard to decide what my #4yo will like when I can't relate to their sensory needs :/

Semi-related aside: my #4yo has to be constantly in contact with me if we're sitting side by side (they have a #SensoryProcessingDisorder). Which is fine but lately they're a freaking space heater little ball of sweat.
Might be time to get a small #WeightedBlanket for them.

In my defense, the electricity is also particularly loud today.

Honestly cannot wait to order Loop ear plugs next Friday. So many sounds drive me nuts! I am so sensitive to sound. I hate that I have to wait another week plus delivery time, but can’t do anything about that. Also, I have been having a lot more issues with neighbours yelling lately, so that just makes things worse. #SensoryProcessingDisorder

I hate that my brain, when I'm having a feeling or an internal reaction while listening to another person, shuts down all the other channels--listening, seeing--to receive that impression or feel that feeling.
All the other data drops out. As if it never got recorded.
I might catch a key word here or there, or remember a fleeting instant of an impactful facial expression, but it's all broken apart spotty bits like that from there on forward. I often have to reconstruct how those disjointed pieces flow in a coherent statement or narrative later, based on contextual clues and the general gist of the conversation.
I miss so much precious, important-to-me information in my interactions with people I care about because of this phenomenon.
🤬😤
(TL;DR I hate that I can't have a feeling and continue listening to you at the same time.)

I'm not sure if #SensoryProcessingDisorder "counts" as a #disability but it is definitely making it difficult for me to function around groups of people.
ETA to be fair they do have a designated quiet, scent-free room, but just going through the lobby and navigating the hallways has been hellish for me.

CW: ADA issue with corporate customer service on the phone - activism opportunity
Calling all who suffer from Corporate Customer Service -- would you prefer EMAIL to the current phone system?
That is the most accessible way my poor sprained brain can handle. Chat bot is better than playing Beat the Clock on my phone, but both are rough when I'm particularly #Spoonie. If, that is, it's a real chat bot. There's an AI which pretends, and a lot of companies use them.
The odds of getting hung up on seem to increase the longer we are on the phone. So I can randomly lose them and I have to start all over again. This is the world's worst video game, and they already have my money.
Email makes better sense for every customer who chooses it. We have a paper trail, we aren't burning the employees/customer's time with senseless delays, and if they do need an obscure number, we have time to hunt it down and give it to them.
If we have a health/access issue (and I have both!), it's serious.
I just spoke to the NY AG's office to see if "access to the way to get my money back" is covered under the Americans With Disabilities act. It is... when enough people are affected by it.
Are there enough people? I'd like to know. I was thinking I could put up an online petition, much like any #activism campaign. Then I'll file the proper notifications with the NY AG. I can do that.
Reminder: this isn't any AG's office. This is Attorney General Letitia James. One of the reasons I called was to say, "Tell your boss I love her work. Especially... lately!"

Hello! You can call me mystic or resilient. I slowly migrated from #Twitter as of today but I will still be active on Twitter. I'll just have both accounts and go back & forth from each platform. I use my socials as an anonymous outlet & for support because support is not available or there in my personal life. I mask 24/7 and people who think they may know me, do not know me at all.
I'm extremely introverted. People think I'm extroverted but I'm really not. I'm socially awkward and it's painfully excruciating to even make eye contact. It feels like my eyes are drilling into someone else's soul if that even makes sense. I'm also very random. I can be hyper at times.
Anyways, I was diagnosed in my early 20's with #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder, #Anxiety, #Depression, & #CPTSD. I'm still waiting to get assessed for #ADHD and I'm slowly embracing my neurodivergency. I had no idea what being #Neurodivergent was until recently and I started reading and following a bunch of other Neurodivergent users.
I've never really felt accepted anywhere but in the neurodivergent community and it feels like family to me. It feels like I belong.
While growing up, I have had doctors tell me that i have #OppositionalDefiantDisorder and #SensoryProcessingDisorder - There has never actually been a diagnosis. There should have been. Professionals do not really take me seriously. It's because I'm able to mask and function normally. But people don't see how easily frustrated I can get. It's there. So is the anger. It's just hidden.

I wrote a thing about my personal experiences and how we need to take the quality HVAC technology into consideration when we talk about whether buildings are accessible. Could anyone recommend a place that might be interested in publishing something like this?

I finally updated and put #Medium back where it's supposed to be so I can find it easier on my phone and it's finally allowing me to write stuff from my phone. Before I had to use the desktop like my laptop to write anything and I'm never home so this was harder. I use my phone for everything because im always working or something in the community. I said I'd make a blog posting yesterday evening and I wanted to acknowledge that. I'm still in the process of writing. I go through bouts of writers block and no motivation- I also procrastinate and then lose my focus from time to time. It's actually really bad. I don't know how to explain it. I also fear that nobody will read what I write because maybe my writing sucks and I don't think I'm making a whole lot of sense here. I'm just gonna write and write and write and see where this will take me!

I realize that this is a shot in the dark, but who is talking about #autism and #sensoryprocessingdisorder or #spd? Or being #neurodivergent ? Currently going through the diagnosis process with my son, and would love to hear some voices from the communities
