⭐ Saturday Chat! A Special Interest/Good Things Thread 🌀
Hey-hey everyone! Wishing you all a lovely Saturday. Moth is here this week to get a weekend tradition rolling, hopefully of a chat thread where we can all participate in some fun and unique discussions that help us to remember the best things in life!
Firstly, I'd like to lay down some brief, general rules for these threads to keep it a positive environment:
1) non judgement, (we listen and we don't judge,!) someone just posted that recently to the forum and I love the saying. Don't judge others special interest. If you don't like it and they haven't specifically asked for feedback , let's just keep it movin'.
2) avoid triggering items,/shares here. We are here for you in this forum, 100%. Here to listen and support. Here, though, let's keep it light so that it can serve as that space when you need some uplifting.
3) feel free to post here anytime throughout the week,not just Saturday, and support others shares when you can ❤️
4) This thread is not meant to be patronizing or belittling the struggles of autistic people esp right now. I'm making it because as an autist, I know right now I need some light-heartedness more than ever.
With that being said, please feel free to share either descriptions, gifs, personal photos (make sure no personally identifying information is included and that it's appropriate,) or just fond musings about your favorite special interests, the items associated, and just general good things.
Some ideas include:
Hobby items
General favorite objects
Blankets
Stuffed animals
Your pet
Favorite foods
Favorite perfumes/sprays/candles or home goods
Beauty products
Music
Books
Headphones, favorite albums
Etc, etc!
(I so look forward to checking back on this, and I have to get started on my own submission now! Take care, hope to see you there! 👇) ⭐ - moth
Kicking things off with my heated plush, weighted blanket, and, (ehem,) *some* of my pens.

@memyselfandmoth mine is rountine i have to get up at the same time everyday its pretty annoying
Routine is really important and adds a lot of comfort to the day but if you find it annoying I hope you can find a way to change it up. Nothing wrong with it though ♡
Our favourite things:
- Our art studio, it has black walls and is a bit gothy with skulls and stuff. It has a giant wall easel that my hubby made and all the brushes, paints and pencils to play with.
- Flowers, we love them. So colourful and delicate.
- Weighted blanket and weighted cat toy (she's called Luna, or Luney) my little love to snuggle her.
- Our egg chair/swing nice to rock in and stim.
- Headphones with 8D music for sensory overload days.
- My husband is my most favourite of all.
This is beautiful. I love to hear these things and I think its wonderful that the two of you have built such a wonderful, creative and safe space. :)
That studio sounds so awesome I tend to have a gothy somewhat brooding aesthetic as well. 😄🖤🪄✨
