But I like to describe the core meaning of 'ghost' like a 'lingering feeling that I left behind'. Something that I cannot yet come terms with it. It does not go away like grief, you build life around it. I'm still in my mid-20s when I… ## [Autistic drive and perfection](https://tismlens.net/autistic-drive-and-perfection/) _2026-08-16 · tismlens · 'tism lens_ A popular TV show in the 70's-90's was Mastermind, where contestants would appear as a subject matter expert from varied fields, including TV shows...

I've had this so long, but recently for the last year, and post diagnosis I've realised what this is - I just thought, 'hey getting older', but narp, it turns out to be the 'tism-tax.

At first, I felt that I "should have" wear more costume because I already commissioned people. I should have worn those wigs. etc. As result, I did not start at all because it ended up being a shame loop. But then, last week I tried to change the way I talk to myself, in really small steps: "What if… ## [Autistic Regrets - Delayed Audio Processing](https://tismlens.net/autistic-regrets-delayed-audio-processing/) _2026-08-08 · tismlens · 'tism lens_ It's a regular Saturday, and I'm sat here thinking of everything past, future, present. One of the most autistic things we all do is ruminate continually on events which have already passed, and they can be from any period in life.

If you're anything like me, the default answer to peopling, socials, exposure to the world is 'no, thanks, but no', as you're afraid of the negative effects, people noise etc, then this is for you. Exposure to the world is (with some exceptions) mainly good for you, so are (most) people, meds, hydration, and nature.

I can't believe it's been almost 8 months since she passed away. I miss her a lot. Some days I feel like she's just on a really long, well deserved, vacation, and I'll see her soon. Other days, I sit in silence remembering that she isn't coming back ever. I met her family at her wake so it was nice to see them again.

No, it wasn't my own. I cannot put a finger on it. I'd say it's like its own, entity. Heck, probably "Part of my Whole Life". It wasn't scary, but I'm used to it.
