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...

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)

i wonder how many autistic people struggled to switch over to "mature" parental names? i noticed that all of my peers switched from "mommy/mama" to just "mom" around 4th-5th grade, but a lot of the autistic people i know either switched over during high school, or not at all.

maybe its due to the resistance to change.

happy Autism Awareness/Accepatnce Month!!

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

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.

Hey fellow neurodiverse peeps and writers, if you're a creative and you're bored, go make a fictional disease

But like seriously it's super fun because I had one of those hour long hyperfixations on lung diseases because I already had a fictional disease in the works I just really wanted to detail it.

You get so invested in looking up the medical terminology and root words and symptoms and- ALL OF IT! IT'S AMAZING!

Btw the disease I made is called chronic pneumobtosis, and it is in the cyberpunk AU of my OCs. It's a hereditary, non-transmissible, incurable condition caused by mass air pollution weakening the respiratory system, and causing the need for gas masks and special ventilation systems that can clear out the debris in the air. It affects a third of the urban and metropolitan population (less in rural areas), and when untreated; causes shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, chest pain, fainting spells, and in the worst cases, internal suffocation.

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.

autism culture is having imposter syndrome about being autistic and convincing yourself you’re neurotypical but then having a meltdown because your daily schedule changed and you’re having sensory overload and you’re like …. ohhh yeah no there’s the tism there it is

Npd + autism culture is thinking you have bpd for years because you only heard the awful stereotypes of NPD, thought "that can't possibly be me because I m not ab*sive and I have high empathy and FPs", only to realise after finding the truth about NPD that you completely misinterpreted your own emotions due to the autism, and in reality you have low empathy masked as hyperempathy and your supposed FPs are actually EPs.

And also that now, all your friends think you have BPD because you told them about that before you learned the truth and now you don't want to tell them because they'll likely either think you're lying or believe the npd stereotypes, or worse, both. And you cannot handle that rejection because guess what? NPD!

sometimes i feel like people forget autism is a disability. and that’s not a bad thing! i’m all for disability acceptance, im proud of my disabilities. but i feel like we forget autism can hurt.

it hurts that i have to put more time and energy into socializing than others.

it hurts when i need to move so bad, usually cause im overwhelmed by either my surroundings or emotions, that i thrash and hurt myself.

it hurts that i cant be in places that are too loud or too bright, which on bad days can be as simple as a small, quiet noise or dim lights.

it hurts that i struggle to tell when im hungry, thirsty, tired, etc. so i can’t properly take care of myself. it doesn’t help my insomnia and i get very nauseas and get UTIs.

i 100% believe in autism acceptance. i don’t want a cure. but i also want us the acknowledge that it can hurt. it doesn’t mean my entire life will hurt, but some parts will. and i want a community where we can see both sides, see the hurt, and celebrate it anyway.
