This article on hyposensitivity contains useful tips… but mainly I’m putting it out here for the silly, sweet, diverse drawings of Autistic people and their loved ones having fun!
I basically screamed and started happy stimming all over the place when I saw the picture of the Autistic person sitting on an exercise ball almost exactly like me right now.
Many autistic people have different sensory needs. Some are hyposensitive, meaning we need extra stimulation, and this is what the article covers. Some are hypersensitive, meaning we get overstimulated easily. Many are a mix of both, so don’t be surprised if parts of the article don’t apply to you.
So, see if you learn a few things, and most of all enjoy the art!

Haha oh my gosh. Bless the artist. And bless the contributors. The information itself is actually v good. Good feels and happy stimming for everyone!
I’ve found WikiHow really useful on multiple occasions. This article is spot on and with really REALLY cute art, too. 😀
Also check out the companion piece http://www.wikihow.com/Help-a-Hypersensitive-Autistic-Person – I hope it gets illustrated soon, as well.
