autism can be an invisible disability.
but saying “autism is an invisible disability” is widely inaccurate & borderline aspie supremacist.
for many of us, our autism is highly visible and i don’t mean the “dress a little quirky a lil absent minded cover our ears when loud noises” just a lil weird kind of visible

Some people are baffled by the concept that there really are people who actually like children but don't want any of their own. "Childfree" doesn't automatically mean someone who simply hates children. The thing is, I do like kids, and I will absolutely not compromise on my stance that each and every child deserves to grow up in a safe, stable and supportive environment. I also know that I get aggressive if I'm constantly sleep-deprived or overstimulated. People generally don't regard me as someone capable of violence, but if I can't get 15 minutes of silence each day and at least 5 hours of sleep every night, I will start throwing things. And I know kids won't let you have that. Ever.
Kids deserve to grow up feeling safe and cherished, unafraid to express themselves and without worry that they're unwelcome or unwanted. And that's why they should be doing that somewhere else than in my fucking house.

Why are agriculture classes the first time I've learned extremely basic info about nutrition and how digestion works. Why isn't this stuff in health textbooks or any easily accessible resource about healthy eating.

old sparkledogs and cat ocs in the files of old computers. wings extended forever in flight, tears frozen on their face from an event in a backstory long forgotten
the drawings made of others characters, in folders on a forgotten friend's computer, forever visiting, immortalized in drawings of silly inside jokes and gift-giving between amateurly-drawn colorful animals
a colorful cast, lined up in a row in a half-finished microsoft paint bitmap–smiling faces filled only most-of-the-way with the fill bucket tool. the comic text says "happy birthday!!!" the drawing was never finished, the gift was never sent. its they've been their birthday for 13 years in their eyes and they've never stopped smiling
colors paint-bucket-filled into downloaded free bases–folders of which still sit unused, waiting to spark new ideas, in a long-forgotten folder. most of them the well-known default colors until their artist realized how to use the custom color button
forever in a looping animation, only a third of the way finished–the artist wanted to animate like they saw online, those four frames probably took them weeks of frustration before the project was dropped–but their character is still running, for the rest of time, at 3 frames per second

I don't know if it's the depression speaking but these days I find it incredibly hard to enjoy anything about the Internet.
Literally every website has become a thousand times more inconvenient, bloated with promoted or recommended shit, stupid UI/UX changes pushed by out of touch billionaires.
The tipping point this week was Google changing the regular "Web - Images - Videos - Etc." tabs with fucking stupid ever-changing search suggestions, making the site a thousand times less accessible and so much more annoying to use
I'm tired. I want forums back. I want ugly html pages that give useful information back. I want to connect with other Internet users in a meaningful way again. Fuck modern corporate UI design. Fuck social media. I want out.

"we'll get you in" and "someone can help you" do NOT mean the venue is accessible. if i call up in advance of an event and ask if i will be able to attend, i want to know if i can actually attend or if going there will be a disastrous waste of my time, money, and energy. if you have stairs just fucking say you have stairs, fucking hell, "uhhhh we can carry your wheelchair with you in it" is not an answer to whether there is step-free access
