It's amazing that Marcy is possibly the first canon autistic cartoon character to be diagnosed by 3 well trained professionals from the real world.

So this pic manages to be dangerous in two separate ways.

1) Please do not out your kids as autistic without their informed consent, especially for sweeties.

This is literally telling a predator, in a confusing situation, that your kid might well be easier for them to target. Plus giving out private medical information about your kid when it is not needed is not okay. That stuff sticks around and may impact on them in other places.

The colour blue is also linked to Autism Speaks, a eugenicist organisation that actively funds research to identify and abort autistic foetuses.

2) The Teal Pumpkin project is a scheme for people *giving out* treats to signify they have treats without marked allergens or non-food treats available for kids with allergies. They put one by the door and keep the treats inside one indoors to limit cross-contamination with other treats.

This is positive because it’s about including kids with allergies in the festival *without* giving out their private medical information.

The fact that this has already confused this really excellent project was exactly what a lot of adult autistic activists warned would happen when we asked people NOT to do the blue bucket thing 🤬

We really can’t be normal about autistic people huh

“can exacerbate autism features” “more severe repetitive behaviors” “tougher time making friends” you mean unmasking?? Yeah masking is fucking exhausting and all-consuming, of course its harder without sleep?? Sleepy allistics also loose ability to give 110%? Sleepy allistics also would do worse on tests of intelligence? What the fuck

Also in case it went unnoticed, the source is called spectrum news dot org so please remember not to mistake name or branding for credibility <3

Little rant:

Don't you all just hate it when your family say that you should lie, be manipulative, get a better attitude, have a nicer tone, stop rolling your eyes, stop being aggressive, stop yelling, and overall just berate you about being autistic and acting autistic because you are autistic and they refuse to listen to you when you say that you are autistic? I try to explain that i cant hear my tone, i dont roll my eyes, i physically cant lie, i refuse to be manipulative, im not yelling im just slightly raising my voice out of excitement or passion or frustration, im not aggressive im just unmasking...they say i just need to "learn" to essentially mask better...literally related to idiots :/

I am so sick of this ablism!

I am so sick of getting introuble for unmasking and being myself, im so tired of being lectured for my "attitude" and autistic traits. Im so angry at continuously being called weird because i dance like a bug, screech like a pterodactyl and call out unjust and harmful behaviours in others! I AM SO ANGRY AT THIS STUPID HIERARCHICAL SYSTEM I DON’T CONFORM TO! I WILL NOT CONFORM TO YOUR IDIOTIC SOCIAL NORMS!!

GENDER ISNT REAL! FEMINITY AND MASCULINITY ARENT REAL! SITTING PROFESSIONALLY ISNT REAL! NOT MAKING EYE CONTACT BECAUSE ITS RUDE ISNT REAL! MAHAHAHA YOU CANT STOP THE AUTISM! WE WILL DESTROY THIS STUPIDITY >:D

One of my all time favorite autism advocacy content creators on Instagram is right to call out parents who record their autistic children having meltdowns and sharing the videos online.

It's inhumane on so many levels. Parents who do this to their children don't deserve their children.

When I was little I had real trouble with jokes because I didn't always understand them and that made me angry (BAFFLING that it took them 20 more years for the autism diagnosis), but I had this neighbour and for some reason he was my "joke guy" and whenever I understood a joke and it didn't make me angry I would run across the road to tell him the joke and he would high five me and it really helped me to work through my discomfort around it and just... shoutout to this man who helped a random 5 year old kid with her autism. I give him all credit for the fact that I am hilarious now.

I love how I'm literally just making observations like "hey your child has a lot of autism symptoms, they might be autistic" and the reaction is like I just said that we should go to the moon without space suits.

"How about you let me worry about that?", "I'm the parent, not you", and "stop trying to give people labels they don't have!" are common responses. Like okay, I was just giving you food for thought, no need to act like I just blew up your house.

My family should have known I was autistic when I spent 3 months refusing to listen to anything but the RENT soundtrack. My parents had to buy me headphones with a three day battery life and a speaker for my room because I’d have a full blown meltdown if I wasn’t listening to it or watching the movie for more than maybe 5 or ten minutes.

#oh and I was nine #like actually a child #RENT #the musical #autism #autistic children #audio stim #also I walked around for two years singing angel’s lines under my breath #I still quote Rodger to self soothe

Marcy and June are the most perfect cartoon characters to represent autism in any media.

Reminded today of when I was a little kid and was a nightmare to keep in the bath long enough to get hair washed etc (sensory issues).

My Dad once did a full-on performance of the nursery rhyme Soldier, Soldier Won’t You Marry Me? with full improv level of towel cloak, shower cap boots, plastic bucket usually-used-to-hold-bottles-and-bath-toys hat etc to keep me engaged in between lathering and *careful* rinsing (I also couldn’t stand water being poured over my head) etc instead of streaking off buck naked and soapy-headed into the wilderness (okay, my bedroom) 😁

I think about this a lot every time I read things about gentle parenting and how much awful authoritarian BS parents are routinely pushed to inflict on their kids by teachers, therapists, doctors etc, especially when those kids are clearly neurodivergent and having real issues coping with whatever the issue is.

I know now my parents had to deal with this too - more on my little brother, as I wasn’t diagnosed, but on me too, especially by teachers. My mum, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, still caught the end of the *horrendous* “autism in kids is caused by ’refrigerator mothers’” bullshit from the 1950s from elderly doctors, which still makes me furious. But it didn’t stop them from engaging with us like smol actual people with genuine needs, like anyone else.

Just generally reminding folk dealing with this crap about their kids that they’ll never forget all the times you were there for *them* and treated them like a person. Even when you catch crap for it now ❤️

When I was diagnosed with Autism [ high functioning Autism level 2 ASD ] at 8 years old I got all the help and support I needed as a little girl speech and language therapy , teachers helped me and my life was all sunshine and lollipops until I turned 13 I was thrown into a mainstream secondary school with no support . I mask everyday my social anxiety got so bad to the point where I had a mental breakdown at 15 and was diagnosed with depression. I got bullied and abused and traumatised for the next 3 years now I am a 18 year old Autistic adult with a personality disorder with no support whatsoever.
