DO NOT CLOWN ME I KNOW THEY LITERALLG LOOK NOTHING ALIKE 😭

I hate when people act like ableism is a thing of the past. Ableism is still, unfortunately, very common. My sister is in middle school and she tells me about all the horrid, ableist shit other kids do.

The hand to the chest, mocking stims, calling people autistic as an insult, and even the r-slur. I hate this idea that the past was inherently more bigoted cause I swear right before covid, i was hearing more about autism acceptance than ever.

When I was a kid, I remember ableism, mostly directed towards me, but never at the level my sister describes happening at her school. I never got someone putting their hand to their chest or "acting" like a disabled person.

I feel like many neurotypical kids are now not only taught, but encouraged to be ableist by their peers. Gen Alpha in general seems like it's gonna be as conservative as the Baby Boomers and that thought fucking scares me.

There are now many young kids who are normalizing ableism and it needs to stop. We need to teach young people to have solidarity for disabled people. We need to teach kids that disabled people, no matter what their support needs are, are deserving of dignity and respect. We cannot allow ableism to thrive in the younger generation. We have to do better.

the neurodivergent urge to either not be able to watch more than 5 minutes of something or watch so long that you start seeing the hat man

[ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i notice that autism and neurodivergency has to come with “a look”. “you dont look autistic”. “you have autism? i didnt notice? are you sure?.” but every mean girl group you encounter in middle school notices before you even speak. You know you cant fit in and nobody is trying to tell you that you do. Maybe a backhanded, un understanding “youll find the right people” is uttered once in a while. but they know. so does your english teacher when she grades your writing. Every one can sense that you, are different. You hate this.

My take on this trend

love the trobed fandom on here bcs its just all of us being a little autistic :3

kinda irked by a post i saw the other day that made some good points about autism and hyperempathy but like,,,,implied that all autistic people have hyperempathy and that low empathy isn’t an actual autism symptom? which really rubbed me the wrong way as a low-empathy autistic

like yeah it’s important people are aware that autistic people can often be hyperempathetic but also uhh,,,,that shouldn’t be used to act like low empathy autistics aren’t. real? like…we can both exist. we Do both exist

Zane says ‘cinematic’ and Alex can barely contain himself. He gets all stimmy with his hand and stutters over his words and then has to look away immediately. It’s so rare to see him this enthusiastic, it’s nice.

I went to gay and autistic island and they’re looking for you there
