Derry Girls + homosexuality

I live in Europe so there were no streaming platforms for me to watch it legally :( so I watched it on movieorca, but there's also hdtoday (someone suggested it in the comments 💖). As for streaming platforms, there's BBC iPlayer and CBBC, Australia on ABC Me, Canada on CBC Gem, and the US on BYUtv.

Also, I don't think that all witches were autistic either, but at least from what I noticed in witches within my family, some of them definitely were! And yes, you can infodump 🙏🏻 I'm interested 🔮

@ autistic folks!!! You need to watch "A Kind Of Spark". It's a new series about two autistic sisters and if witches are one of your hyperfixation/special interest, then this show is for you!!! The actresses are all autistic and it's just wholesome to see such an accurate autistic representation 🤍 Keedie, Nina and Addie are everything to me, I literally cried watching every episode. The portrayal of autistic women made by autistic women is so important I cannot put into words how much this means to autistic youth. I wish I would've had this representation when I was an undiagnosed autistic teen 🫶🏻 it would have helped me so much but even now, I felt like my inner child was healing. So yeah, WATCH A KIND OF SPARK !!! ✨️✨️

Also, I truly believe that witches were autistic women

My Autistic and Dyscalculia dumb brain trying to figure out what side is left:

I finally got my autism + dyscalculia diagnosis today!! 💜 Words can not describe how happy, grateful, and hopeful I'm feeling. Everything finally makes sense: I was never weird, lazy, "too sensitive," or dumb. My brain is perfectly fine. It just works differently. Sometimes, I think about how my life would have been if I had discovered all this when I was a kid, and I somehow feel sad. I could've had my needs met, just like any other child.. but at the same time, I know that dwelling is useless. My new life starts now, and I'm so proud of myself for surviving, for trying so hard to get answers and for being myself. BEING NEURODIVERGENT ROCKS!!! BEING AUTISTIC ROCKS!!!! We're so cool, I hope my fellow autistic folks are doing great and know that they're so worthy of love. 🫶🏻🪻

having your favourite band as your special interest means getting them as your top artist EVERY YEAR because you just can't have the same amount of happy stims with other artists

omg did you love Elsa too as a child? Did you relate to her experiences? My friend, I have some news for you... (you're autistic)

my lovely autistic friends, do you feel any physical pain during sensory overloads? I've always had terrible headaches and I have not yet found something that can soothe me during those times 😭

masks are not mandatory anymore in my country which is NOT GREAT because I totally forgot how to act neurotypical without a mask on. I forgot how to function, what expressions I CAN'T do and I don't know how to interact with my classmates 😭 Yesterday a girl from my Sociology class said hi to me and was about to hug me and I froze 🧍🏻‍♀️. It was so embarrassing because she looked so confused 😭😭 I swear I'm not rude, I'm just an autistic human who forgot that NT people exist

quinni, amerie, darren and ca$h i love you so much you saved this show. I have a soft spot for malakai too so yeah i need season 2 to see his glow up, he deserves to feel better too

Quinni "I thought you wanted to this with me."

Sasha "yeah I do this for you. I always feel like I'm trying to do these things for you. But what about me? Huh. Do you ever think about me?"

"Sometimes it's hard being with you when I just want to be a normal teenager." She could have went to Amerie party alone, instead she wanted to unapologetically high jack Quinni plans.

"Don't pull the fucking autism card on me right now. You know know what I meant. Sometimes it's just a lot for me. Okay?"

This conversation felt more like Sasha was trying to get an out of their relationship. Because I honestly can't remember anything that Sasha has done for Quinni, like even the whole "I don't want to be responsible for you." Or not going to Darren party. Sasha hasn't actively tried to do anything for Quinni, much less inconvenience herself for Quinni sake.

If there's a season two I need Quinni to find someone better

literally in tears because I finally feel so seen. Representation is so important and quinni is having such a big impact on me. Her joy when she talked to her favourite writer, her enthusiasm while thinking about her special interests, her frustration when she felt "not normal enough" for Sasha... when she finally started to unmask, she is suddenly too much for other people. I love her so much, beautiful things happen when you let an autistic actress play an autistic character 🤍

I'M WATCHING HEARTBREAK HIGH QUINNI IS EVERYTHING TO ME I LOVE HER!!!!!!

just watched the last episode of "everything's gonna be okay" and I literally started tearing up during this scene because it explains the autistic experience so perfectly. Growing up as an undiagnosed autistic child and then getting your diagnosis as an adult is literally learning how to unlearn the whole camouflaging technique that we've been using for all of our life. Thank you Nicholas and Matilda for the autistic representation that we needed. And thank you Genevieve for portraying the kid I've tried all my life to be.
