r/AutismTranslated is a subreddit with 74k members. The most common kinds of discussions are pain & anger and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses autism, diagnosis, struggling, hard time, and autistic, and they frequently recommend/review over ear headphones, chew toy, and chews.
If you think you might be autistic - or even if you're on The Quest, to figure out why life seems so much stranger and harder for you than it does for other people - then we made this space for you. It's one thing to read DSM diagnostic criteria or an Autism Parent's lamentations, and another to really hear us as we describe what it feels like to _be_ autistic. Welcome, and please feel free to ask questions! :)
