No triggery post today. I’m okay. Still worried about a couple of my fellow autists, but I’m okay. Things are calm if only for now. The darkness must give way to the light, yes?
Ever experience executive disfunction when washing your face? Earlier today, I washed my face with the proper morning cleanser, but I used the wrong topical medication. I used my night one instead of my day one sad face. Then I had to wash off the night cream, only to reapply my day cream. This caused me to skip my night cream as I’d already used it that day. It’s a tism thing. Sigh…
Seems like such a small thing and NTs would just be like, why can’t you just reapply your night cream? Well, because my night cream is expensive af. I won’t apply it twice in one day. So my face will go without. Normally when I experience executive disfunction, it has to do with housework and cleaning. Not with hygiene lol sigh. Laundry is the worst for executive disfunction. Honestly!
So, that’s all for this autist’s randomness today. I must sign off now and be indecisive with which film I should put on this night. Stimming time lovelies! Byes!

Speaking of washing the face and creams and whatnot
I have very dry and very thin skin that definitely needs to be moisturized. It also needs to be cleansed obviously. It’s very very difficult for me to wash my face frequently enough. I also find the idea of putting lotion or oil on my face anathema even though shortly after I do so it feels much better and I’m glad that I did. Does anyone else experience this?

This is rather common with those who have sensory issues. Myself included, though I have much worse sensory issues with my face being dry, than I do after applying creams/lotions. Ihave to moisturize my face every morning. I find it helpful to look for a cream that has mostly natural ingredients that doesn’t leave a nasty, sticky film on your face. Avoid oils though. Even natural ones like coconut oil. They just leave your face feeling oily and grooss and if you’re anything like me, they block the skin and cause breakouts sadface.
