Doctors think they are God so it's embarrassing and awkward for them to admit they don't know everything and are wrong sometimes.
My chronic pain doctor suggested I exercise more
I asked him “how?”
He looked confused. Said I should try a bit every day
I said “not when, how?” I asked what exercises I should do
He suggested half a dozen options that had all been explicitly banned by other doctors. I’m not allowed to run. I’m not allowed to bike. I’m not allowed to use my rowing machine or my punching bag.
I walk my dog whenever I have the energy and when it doesn’t hurt too much
What else can I do?
He told me I should exercise more
And then he changed the subject.

I wonder why allo's are obsessed with sex favorable aces🤔
Oh right, because they can't muster allyship let alone remind themselves of our existence unless they are kinky or sexual. 🙃
When we said asexuality was a spectrum we did not mean ignore every asexual that doesn't satisfy your allo fantasies.

Hey, asking as an asexual person. Allo people that like sex scenes in media, you guys understand that people not wanting to see sex scenes understand it's not always purity culture, but sometimes people are just... sex repulsed asexuals, right?

The fact that vests labeling a dog as nervous, aggressive or working are necessary is highly concerning and frustrating to me.
We live in a world in which the norm is that you are allowed to freely interact with or distract a dog you do not know. This should not be the case.
If you see a dog you do not know, you should ask the owner before you interact with it. When you ask the owner, be clear with what you wish to do with the dog, ideally ask if there's anything specific to keep in mind when you approach the dog (such as not getting it excited, not letting it jump on you, etc.) or at the very least, after getting a yes from the owner, wait at least a few seconds so they have a chance to say something, if they need to. If you see the owner trying to get the dog's attention, wait. And if the owner tells you to do something at any point (such as telling the dog "no"), you listen. Even if you're okay with a dog treating you a certain way, small children, disabled individuals, anyone who dislikes dogs and literally anyone else may not be okay with that same thing.
If you see a dog you know, remember to respect the boundaries set by the owner.
And most importantly, if an owner tells you to not approach or acknowledge their dog, you listen.
This really should be the standard, and yet treating dogs however you wish is so normalized we require specific vests telling people to not interact. Only for people to still interact.
I can, I have, and I will continue to get pissed off at people who cannot find the basic decency to be normal about dogs.
Yes, they're cute,
But that does not automatically give you the right to pet them.

Hi! I’m really sick of whitewashing and the various excuses that artists come up with, so I wrote a guide! How To Not Whitewash, at least with regards to skin tone. Please make use of it, and encourage other artists to do so as well. Here’s a link to this guide on a Google Doc - this document has image descriptions. Feel free to contact me if the link stops working, or if you have questions (in good faith).

re-reading my own fic because the author has exactly my taste in tropes, ships the same ships in the right way, and also shares my sense of humour. what a find, what a revelation. i hope they write more of this sort of thing.

My brain is doing The Thing where it associates songs with characters and basically, anyone who has seen both Criminal Minds and Descendants 3 knows why Do What You Gotta Do is Spencer and William in my head now.

So in the latest "ban books!" controversy there's a picture book for pre-schoolers called "Grandad's Pride" the objection is that some of the illustrations of Pride involve men in leather

Autistic Spencer Reid
Happy Autism Acceptance Month, everyone! By request, my wonderful friends and I have taken on the daunting task of documenting the reasons why Spencer Reid is considered Autistic. Big thank you to you @spencer-reids-adventures and @foxy-eva specifically for their help. We hope everyone enjoys! This is not an exhaustive list.
Tumblr media
Stimming/Self-Stimulatory behavior, including rocking/spinning in his chair, twiddling with his fingers, gripping sheets, bouncing his legs, biting his lip/tongue, rubbing his eyes, spinning pens, pacing (e.g., S6E12 "Corazon")
Averse to touch, dislikes hugs (S7E13 "Snake Eyes" & S11E11 "Entropy")
Explains multiple attempts at masking, including "being more conversational," (S2E19 "Ashes and Dust"), scripting conversation (S15E4 "Saturdays"), saying what people want to hear (S6E20 "Hanley Waters")
Verbosity - Difficulty recognizing when he's talking too much/speaking at inappropriate times (e.g., S1E16 "The Tribe" & S10E16 "Lockdown")
Began studying behavioral science to understand behavior that made him frustrated/confused (S11E22 "The Storm")
Averse to hosting/hanging out in his space; didn't invite his friends to his apartment for over 15 years (S15E9 "Face Off")
The only team member capable of proficient communication with other Autistic people (S6E16 "Coda" & S11E22 "The Storm")
He is referred to as Autistic by multiple characters, including a literal profiler, and does not deny or question it (S1E5 "Broken Mirror" & S8E3 "Through the Looking Glass")
Lack of social awareness, such as focusing on a convention while at a workplace shooter crime scene (S7E3 "Dorado Falls")
Various special interests, like Doctor Who (S6E16 "Coda" & S7E23 "Hit")
Literal thinking, such as focusing on scientific accuracy of a star-based fable (S5E13 "Risky Business")
Difficulty recognizing common phrases, such as the "sitting in a tree" song (S3E14 "Damaged") or jokes (S7E9 "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy" & S1E8 "Natural Born Killer")
Makes inappropriate references, such as to Derek's playboy behavior (S1E18 "Somebody's Watching") and Rossi's age (S7E13 "Snake Eyes")
Coordination/Spatial deficits (S1E17 "A Real Rain" & S8E6 "The Apprenticeship")
Hyperfocuses on a task to the point he doesn't notice his surroundings (S5E20 "A Thousand Words")
Unusual/hyper-specific pedantic language (S3E6 "Remembrance of Things Past")
Resistance to change, manifested as a luddite dislike of technology (S6E7 "Middle Man" & S8E4 "God Complex") and struggling with Gideon's death (S10E14 "Hero Worship")
He receives (apparent disability) accommodations to be in the field (S6E10 "What Happens At Home...")
Introverted, difficulty sharing emotions, even with his closest friends (S10E13 "Nelson's Sparrow")
Heavily bullied as a child (S3E16 "Elephant's Memory")
Difficulty making friends (S2E1 "The Fisher King Part 2")
Trouble with eye contact, which persists throughout the series
His mother is schizophrenic, which has a strong genetic link to Autism
Dislikes small talk (S8E3 “Through the Looking Glass”)
Enjoys memorizing lists (S7E11, “True Genius”)
Savant skills - eidetic memory and hyperlexia
Matthew Gray Gubler has also explained that, regardless of the canonical confirmation, he views and portrayed Spencer Reid as Autistic. Specifically, he stated:
"He's an eccentric genius, with hints of schizophrenia and minor autism, Asperger's syndrome. Reid is 24, 25 years old with three Ph.D.'s and one can't usually achieve that without some form of autism." (Note: Asperger's is an outdated term with Nazi origins, which is now referred to as a part of "Autism Spectrum Disorder" by most countries)
DISCLAIMER: I am Autistic, as diagnosed when I was a toddler. These thoughts are my own and shared for fun. If you disagree, please make your own post about it rather than posting them here. This was a labor of love for fans like me and those who love Autistic people and the characters like us. Thank you for respecting and understanding my boundaries!

Thank you everyone! 🌈♾️❤️

I hope I don't sound dumb but do you think Penelope Garcia could be autistic? She's talked about how much she hates change, shows a special interest in coding, and hype fixates over fun, bright items. Idk just a thought. -🌹
Hey friend! Check under the cut for a response to your comments (I want to keep this post short for the sake of everyone's dashes). Otherwise, here is my analysis of Penelope's Autistic Coding!
Disclaimer: I am autistic and this headcanon is just for fun. If you disagree, that is totally fine. Many traits of autism can overlap with childhood trauma (among many other things), so that's another totally reasonable explanation for this character!
Reasons I think Penelope Garcia is Autistic:
Tumblr media
Exaggerated facial expressions
An inclination towards math/coding
Prefers brightly colored/fluffy clothing
An intense respect for the Hacker's Code
Craves deep physical stimulation (bear hugs)
Hyperfixates and infodumps (S15E7, "Rusty")
Difficulty judging intentions/character (S3E8, "Lucky")
Hypersexual/inappropriate jokes (S9E12, "The Black Queen")
Likes "age-inappropriate" toys/decor (S13E16, "Last Gasp")
Hyper-empathy for inanimate objects (S2E13, "No Way Out")
Strong aversion to change/has "control issues" (S6E24, "Supply & Demand")
Wearing very high heels, which is essentially the socially acceptable way to "toe-walk"
Her eating habits (separate containers for food, which she places methodically in front of her, S1E3, "Won't Get Fooled Again")
Shuts down/lashes out when emotionally overwhelmed, becomes aggressive/hostile when people interfere in her space (S1E8, "Natural Born Killer")
As always, there are many more, this is just off the top of my head! If you think of any more, feel free to drop them in the comments or reblogs!
Commentary on the Anon specifically:
I definitely think that Penelope Garcia could be Autistic Coded, although I also understand why people prefer the headcanon of her having ADHD (or both!). I only didn't include her in the Autistic!Hotch post because I wouldn't consider their relationship close/personal. Rather, I think they are acquaintances/work friends. I do, however, think her and Spencer are perhaps the closest throughout the series.
Regarding your suggestions, while I wouldn't consider coding a special interest, I do think her being good at it is a typical indicator of Autism. I'm certainly shit at anything with numbers (dyscalculia), but it is generally considered something we are good at.
As for the brightly colored objects, I wouldn't call that a hyperfixation/special interest, but I would say it is a textbook example of craving sensory input! Her special interests are probably more related to Doctor Who/Unicorns/etc. based on what we see of her. A special interest tends to be something more specific, and it becomes a defining feature of your personality (such as my love for Criminal Minds, which I have been watching since the pilot first aired lol).
