anyone else stay home for a while and be like "hmmmm been acting fine lately. maybe i'm not autistic." and then you have one (1) social interaction and you're like ah. the Autism strikes again.

Someone needs to talk about the late-diagnosis autistic pipeline where we all get crushed under a tidal wave of epiphanies, have all of our idiosyncrasies dialed up to 11, feel EVEN MORE handicapped by the world, lose all ability to cope, then finally shaking ourselves off and be like "fuck it, I'm autistic, so what? I'm doing the thing anyway"

all the plans I made for the future were based on what I thought was expected of me. even my own future plans were created by me masking. but now I’m burnout and I cannot mask anymore. I don’t have any future plans left, and I do realize the plans I used to have weren’t even my own.

Ways to describe pain
Because when someone asks “what kind of pain”, sometimes idk how to answer.
Dull vs sharp or stabbing
Shooting, “like electricity”
Hot, burning, searing
Cold, frozen
Pins and needles
Vibrating
Pulsing
Sore
Bruised (you can use this even if you’re not actually bruised!)
Shallow vs deep
Persistent vs wavering (“comes in waves”)
Itchy or scratchy
Stinging
Examples:
A paper cut could be described as sharp and shallow
A bug bite could be decribed at hot, persistent, and potentially stinging
A sprained ankle might be described as dull, bruised, deep, and pulsing

[Image ID: White text in a Galaxy background reads If you: Derail my posts; are an “aspie”; run a sh/ed blog; are under 16; are a TERF; think cripplepunk is for mental disabilities; think that autism isn’t a disorder; are pro-transabled, trace, transage, etc; are pro-map or pro-zoo; are a transmed; want to completely demedicalize autism, I will probably block or mock you.

People love to talk about whether or not disabled people can work
but if you can work just fine and your disability is destroying your ability to have a life outside of work (because work takes all your energy and more)
Dead silence. Nobody cares.

Bad days don't make you a failure! Good days don't make you a faker!
You are worth more than what you can do on any given day!

I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.

unironically love the phrase “but I’m being so brave about it” because truly, like, what other choice do we have in this wretched existence? what a beautiful way to remind yourself to keep going, even if only out of spite
