Cannot overstate the panic and dismay I feel when people's responses in a social interaction do not follow the multiple scripts that I have invented and rehearsed in my head prior to the interaction
Suddenly all my preparation is thrown out of the window and I'm having to juggle masking, listening and processing a thousand variables at once

happy Autism Awareness/Accepatnce Month!!
Tumblr media
I drew some of the lil guys! (there's an explanation of what each one is under the cut)
(from left to right)
-red creature: spooked, perhaps by a schedule change
-lime green creature- drawing the blorbos from the media they're hyperfixated on
-pink creature: vibing, listening to the soundtrack from a movie on repeat prolly
-blue creature: overstimulated wet beast
-purple creature: sleeping w comfort object, dreaming of their special interest
-orange/yelllow creatures: went on a walk and got distracted together <3
-teal creature: infodumping about their hyperfixation/special interest (in this case the bubonic plague)(I was hyperfixated on that when I drew this)
-orange creature: vocal stimming because happy
-bluish green creature: tfw you get to eat the same meal you've been eating since you were 12
-gray creature: over/understimulated melted sad guy
-pink creature: amazed and a little overwhelmed by how much they are learning about the bubonic plague

autism culture is “you don’t seem autistic” but then whenever you explain something you experience that has to do with autism (like meltdowns/shutdowns/sensory overload) it’s “wow that’s so weird that’s never happened to me” like !!!! ???!?!?!
like oh i wonder why...

Bpd culture + Asd culture is, I don't know if it's the bpd or the autism doing this to me but I've got places to go so let's not talk about this right now. - 💚

npd + autism culture is wanting to be the cool mysterious funny version of yourself you have in your head but making everyone uncomfortable because of the autism anyway (i didn't word this correctly rjduwjs)

AuDHD and questioning HPD culture is completely forgetting my friends exist and therefore not interacting with them, then being upset they didn’t interact with me after I remember them

I will be using this data for my anthropology class. I'd prefer it if only adults answered.
Please reblog for a larger sample size.

GUYS NOT TO GATEKEEP BUT IF YOU'RE FROM TIKTOK PLEASE DON'T BASE WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE NEURODIVERGENT (literal different BRAIN) OFF ONE QUESTION ??? 😭😭
my parents use tiktok and according to them, something that's viral right now is the question "what does 7 and 2 have in common??" (which i noticed instantly ! i was asked that when i was assessed for autism) & i haven't seen the tiktoks myself, but based on how they acted, they made it seem like if you answer anything other than "they're numbers," you're autistic ????????
so now my mom thinks she's neurodivergent — which could be very possible! i am NOT trying to discredit that possibility knowing the underdiagnosis of autism & it IS suspicious that i'm the only one in my immediate family with diagnosed autism when it's a genetic thing
however, she called my sister neurotypical (Like Her Dad™) for not answering in a 💕neurodivergent way💕, which is harmful when we really can't know for sure (and she suspects she has adhd too 😭)
and said sumn like "but that's okay i'm just neurodivergent and that's okay! everyone thinks differently"
YOU CAN BE NEUROTYPICAL AND STILL HAVE DIFFERENT THOUGHT PROCESSES FROM OTHER HUMANS THAT'S STILL POSSIBLE !! EVERYONE'S NOT EXACTLY THE SAME !!!! ONE question without any further research on neurodivergence & reflection is NOT gonna be a reliable way of telling whether or not you're neurodivergent !!!!
thank you psa over

The word “normal” should not be used to describe people.
Change my mind.

When neurotypicals and level 1 autistics say they love autism, what they really mean is that they love the kind that doesn't annoy you. They love the autistics who are quirky and have special talents, who can work independently and read social interactions well enough to fit in.
And then there are the level 2 autistics. They think its okay to bully us and yell when our autistic traits are more debilitating than theirs. When we can't shut up. When we meltdown.
And the level 3 autistics? "Oh, we just forget about them. We don't want to even acknowledge their existence. It's not like they can even think or hear us. We can talk about them like theyre an animal, right in front of their face, because they don't understand us anyway, right?"
When ableist neurotypicals and privileged level 1 autistics say they love autism, they mean they love it until you're an inconvenience.
If you...
Struggle with completing work
Wont shut up about your special interest
Cant regulate your emotions
Have loud stims
Cant mask
Have verbal shutdowns where you can't communicate at all, with or without AAC
Have meltdowns
Cry too much
Say something rude on accident
...you are seen as annoying, embarrassing, an asshole, an inconvenience, and someone to avoid.
If you...
Are semiverbal or nonverbal
Have "embarrassing" stims
Have frequent severe meltdowns
Can't work or live by yourself
Can't make friends
Have weird behaviors
...You're seen as dangerous, less than human, animalistic, and useless.
You are not. You have more meaning than they will ever believe. Your feelings, opinions, and thoughts matter.

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.
I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.
I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.
There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me
