as an autistic person, it really hurts seeing someone mock your special interest
i was on twitter about a half an hour ago and basically i found a meme someone had posted, (specifically a picture of the kid with glasses from the movie, “polar express”, its currently an exploding meme and has been pretty much everywhere within the past week), and of course the caption had to be something about my absolute biggest and favorite special interest. i was crushed, and my heart rate kinda sped up? i actually started getting nauseous, just because of the way the whole thing came across; painting those who enjoy said thing as obnoxious and really just someone to laugh at.
and then seeing of the people who had retweeted it...
can we please stop making fun of people for liking things? thanks?

Need to flee my home ASAP
I live in North Vancouver BC and I need to flee my home.
I just got a job and I thought things were going to improve but my dad’s abuse has intensified as a result. I won’t get in to details, but to keep it short, I need to go now.
I can’t pay rent yet and I know that’s a big deal breaker, but you don’t have to feed me, I can rely on the foodbank, and I can clean your house for you while I look for a new job in whatever area I end up in.
I’m begging for shelter away from him.
I’m 19, queer nonbinary, and very good with animals. I’m more than willing to help you with chores and I love to talk and play video games and go outside. I can cook or help you cook if you need it.
Please DM me if you can get me out of here. Reblogs are appreciated.

hey fellow nb lesbians!! you don’t actually have to explain your gender or how you identify as a lesbian to anyone! even if they’re asking nicely, it’s okay to just say that it’s not something you want to talk about. i know it can be very difficult to try to explain something like that especially if you don’t quite understand it yourself. don’t add explaining yourself to the list of things that stress you out, you’re not required to educate others! <3
(trans///med, tru//scum, transmisogynists & ppl who don’t believe in nb lesbians pls don’t interact, you’re not really doing anyone a service by leaving annoying comments lmao)

Is Autism Speaks really as bad as people say it is?
Having been forced to deal with them and organizations like them, I can safely say “No.”
It is obscenely worse.
You see, any idiot can look at things like “we need a cure” and their anti-vaccination advocacy and realize how ridiculously stupid that it.
But that’s not what they sell to children’s hospitals. Instead, they push extremely unconventional medications to “help” autistic children (usually by sedating them into a catatonic state). I mentioned earlier that Risperidol eases overstimulation, but Autism Speaks doesn’t like Risperidol because it’s not controlling enough.
Autism Speaks absolutely loves “treatments” and “counselling” based around controlling everything autistic children do. Stimming, self-coping mechanisms, even strange and oddball quirks like kids who wear gloves everywhere, all of these are taken from them and doled out as privileges. It’s all about turning anything an autistic child likes into something they can control.
They treat these children like fucking animals and really enjoy forced isolation as a punishment. The IWK has several “Secure Isolation Rooms” that they will place autistic children in their care into for hours at a time unsupervised when they start acting out. And not “having a meltdown and might accidentally hurt someone” kind of acting out, even just mouthing off or getting lippy with a nurse.
I am personally convinced that the whole “cure” motto is a sham, because studies into Autism long ago disproved the theory that it was something that needed curing. Autism Speaks behaves more like a eugenics organization. And they are slippery bastards about it too.
I’ve had the displeasure of having to interact with them directly because they have such a stranglehold on Nova Scotia’s youth mental health that any counseling group inevitably gets calls from them. Speaking to them and hearing the tone with which they spoke about these poor kids made my fucking skin crawl.
If you’re an autistic child and they’re talking to your parents or counselor about you, they won’t even use your name. The Child, The Patient, and The Boy/Girl are all common ways to refer to these kids. On several occasions they’ve referred to some kid as “it.”
I’ve said before that Tumblr especially doesn’t quit know what Autism Speaks is, and that’s because their public persona is very carefully crafted. Their reputation is so cartoonish that doctors who don’t know better won’t believe it, and so they swoop in with a lot of pretty language and faux-politeness. The skeezy, contemptuous way they behave when they think they’re doing business is enough to make you fucking vomit.
You quickly learn why so many hospitals willingly work with them. They are very good at getting their claws into health care organizations because they have this almost sinister “Friendliness” to them, and when you combine this with the fact that a lot of child psychologists have absolutely no concern for the actual well-being of children (just making the parents happy so they continue footing the bill) you have a recipe for a truly horrifying experience.
I can’t fully articulate just how sickening they are. Take however bad you THINK they are, multiply it by a hundred, and then think about how Quentin Tarantino would inflate that to make a movie out of it.
That’s how fucking gross and vile they really are when they think nobody is watching.

Can I say something real quick…?
I love being autistic.
I know that being autistic isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, and I completely understand that, but…
I love talking about my special interests.
I love getting excited about/learning about my special interests.
I love stimming.
I love being so passionate about the things I love.
I love making new friends who are just like me.
I love the community.
I love flappy hands and raptor hands and spinning around.
I love the feeling of putting your favourite song on and immedietly falling into a warm, fuzzy place filled with excitement and pure joy.
I love going to my safe place and induldging in the things that make me feel calm after a hectic day.
I love feeling accomplished when I’ve done something that’s difficult for me.
I love being autistic, and although it’s not always easy, I will always be proud.

The very nature of being nonbinary is breaking rules.
So, if you ever feel like some “rules” in the nonbinary community are getting in your way, then ignore them.
You didn’t break from the cage of the gender binary only to put on shackles of another kind of conformity.
