"autistic asexual people exist so its not inherently ableist to headcanon autistic characters as ace" and "autistic people are constantly infantilized and headcanoning all autistic characters as ace can perpetuate that" are thoughts that can and should coexist

How to help yourself when you feel helpless
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
brief disclaimer TW: self harm
these may work for you and not for others. no hurt in trying.
Create a safe space. this can be anything you like. a blanket on the floor, a corner of your room a pile of your favourite stuffed animals. a big hoodie. a comfortable blanket. anything that makes you feel comfortable and safe. my favourite is my tiles with my stuffies. i spend lots of time on the floor!
Cook yourself a new recipe. personally i do this one because i love to go out of my comfort zone, when i’m feeling low i like to cook things i normally eat just with new spices or whatever i have in my cupboards! an example is spicy noodles, sometimes i’ll add some fried veggies or a fried egg, other times i will make a whole new meal!
Do something spontaneous. this can be anything safe! go for a run, i personally like to run until my muscles hurt when i’m really upset. it’s a form of productive self harm. your muscles will be sore but they will heal. it’s a way of channeling the bad brain into a physical pain.
Express yourself with colors. this one is fun. grab your nearest drawing or coloring utensil and some paper and scribble. i scribble and scratch until i feel better. this can be one drawing or 7 whatever helps.
Go outside and scream. the nabours won’t care. i don’t care. scream until you feel better.
Ice therapy. take ice and put it on areas of your skin that will hurt or sting a bit. take it off when it hurts (you don’t want frostbite) you can put this on your wrists, inside of your elbows, your tummy, anywhere you’d want to SH.
Take a marker and color on yourself. preferably a washable one. write things you hate about yourself or your body or the world. then SCRIBBLE IT OUT. best thing about this is you can wash it off.

that’s all thanks for reading. and i hope this helps💗
Okay, hey, since this post took off, let me share some other action beats you can use to punctuate the silence when writing a conversation, that isn't sighing.
They… Grimaced. Shrugged. Frowned. Scrunched their nose. Yawned. Fiddled with a loose thread on their sleeve. Ran a hand through their hair. Worried/bit/licked their lips. Hummed. Replied with a rather rude hand gesture. Picked at a hangnail. Gingerly grazed a finger down the length of so-and-so's arm, avoiding their gaze like it would burn. Farted. Kicked a stone. Twirled a lock of hair. Twirled somebody else's lock of hair. Twirled a lock of hair on the disembodied head they'd just plopped onto the dinner table. Stuffed their hands into their pockets. Stuffed their hands into the open cavity at the neck of this dang disembodied head on the table. Feigned interest in their phone. Flipped a page. Flipped the table. Flipped the script and escaped the pages. I repeat, the character has escaped and is in the real world. God have mercy on us all. Pissed themselves.
Their… Shoulders sagged. Brows knit/furrowed. Muscles tensed, tightening and locking up like a key twisting in a rusty lock. (Did you just repeat lock twice in the same sentence? Ew). Muscles relaxed, tension spilling from their skin and pooling like blood at their feet. Stomach dropped. Heart beat slower and slower until it ceased to beat at all, which, frankly, is going to be an issue if they hoped to carry on this conversation. Heart beat faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and wouldn't slow down, aw, shit, please, just slow the fuck down…
And lastly: nothing! Don't write anything. Don't say the character does anything. Not blinking, not sighing, not grimacing, or shrugging. Frankly, you'd be surprised at how little of these small reactions you really do need to write. Allow your readers' imagination to fill in the gaps. Isn't that also part of the fun of reading?
Anywho feel free to add.
