More great content from Angie Cibis [Instagram]

I read your batman is ND post and i felt so called out. Made an appt with my md . Tumblr users, helping the public self-identify since inception. Thanks!

Ahah, well, I'm glad to help.

Good luck, Anon!

so relatable when lucius was like “is it weird? I’m being so fucking weird I’m sorry” while proposing.

and then had to ask which question pete said yes to 💀

Ok, so I know Nimona's gender fluid and the whole shape shifting thing is a queer allegory.

BUT. (Don't worry)

I also think it’s an allegory of neurodivergency and disability! And I wanna talk about it:

To me, the « I wouldn't die die but I sure wouldn't be living » discussion feels very reminiscent of autistic stimming and masking, masking being explained here as the constant state of « that second before you sneeze ».

With that in mind, Nimona and Ballister's discussion in the train hits a lot closer to home for ND and disabled people in general because Ballister says « it would be easier for you » which isn’t actually true and shows how a lot of the world views disability. For people your disability is completely fine until they see it, they say they are disability allies but will shame you if you start stimming etc…

I think Nimona’s reaction to what Ballister said also shows that she is used to that kind of rethoric, she tries to lead him to the true answer « normal? » you’re normal for people if they can’t see your disability, « easier for who? » easier for him, easier for society because if they don’t see it they can ignore it. At the end of that conversation he doesn’t understand though and even think he is a hero for it « a lot of people aren’t as accepting as me » except what he does is actually the bare minimum, treating disabled people like actual people is the bare minimum whether you can see their disability or not!

At the end, Ballister understands that he was in the wrong and goes on to actually see Nimona as a person, as who she is « I see you ». And theoretically/utopically it’s the same for the kingdom’s people BUT it took the literal sacrifice of Nimona’s life for them to start treating her like a person which again should be the BARE MINIMUM. I think it is especially sad that it’s the way our society works as well, disabled people, queer people etc… shouldn’t have to earn the right to be treated as a person.

Thanks for reading all that, byeeee!

instead of getting the smart at math or science autism, i have the creating OCs and worlds, recognizing languages and animal facts autism

audhd sokka and ocd/autistic zuko make the best pairing. their silly little brains were made for eachother

this user loves to stim

Dick, to Tim and Damian: I just wish you two would be more affectionate with each other.

Damian: I shared the weighted blanket with Timothy during movie night.

Dick: you were on opposite ends of the couch though!

Tim: ...but we shared the weighted blanket

I need people to start writing Laios' name correctly I swear to god. It is not LAOIS. It's LA-I-OS. Y'know, like the king. Y'know, like a lion.

*taps mic* drizzt do’urden is autistic thank you for your time

awetistic things {6}

wearing masks are so comforting bc it decreases how much i have to mask and then i don’t get burned out as quickly

I think if you gave Dottore some slime, he'd zero in to the fucking thing like it's one of his own experiments

He will play with that shit until the texture literally goes bad. He has never thought that the slime you often played with could be so soothing to just... Shape it in his hands.

Every single time!

istg all the hesitant alien mvs and related videos are really just gerard being their true autistic self and i love them for it

we are all not the same.

autism is not the same for everyone. you can have similar experiences, but autism is a case by case basis. you are not alone.

if you can't relate to every fellow autistic that doesn't mean you aren't "autistic enough".

it's autism SPECTRUM disorder

it's a spectrum

everyone should be allowed to share their experiences. - The Dreamdrop System

i need all of you to look at elfilin stimming this is very important
