Looks like Neurotypicals with a fondness for eugenics are also scared of autistic people.

(Not scared as in intimidated but more out of a kind of disdain and fearing what they don’t understand)

Oh no!

Somebody’s brain works differently than yours and you can’t accept it!

Get FUCKED!

Someone deadass blocked me for sending a thumbs-up emoji in a way that could be interpreted as passive aggressive and not being able to read their mind on whether it is or not 💀 okay (I even apologized and clarified, what)

disappointed but not surprised at the number of posts saying snow's moral depravity is because of his apparent low empathy and not because he. yknow. supports and upholds a fucking fascist regime.

WDYM drawing inanimate objects with limbs kissing is weird?! Since when?

does anyone else do the neurodiverse thing where you’re trying to politely engage in a one-on-one conversation but eye contact is really intense and distracting so you try to make excuses to look elsewhere so you can actually process the conversation better but you know you can’t look at the ground too long or it’ll be weird so you nosedive right in and STARE AT THE OTHER PERSON DEAD IN THE EYES LIKE MHM MHM MHM NODDING ALONG but because you were concentrating so hard you forgot to breathe normally and were lowkey holding your breath but if you look visibly out of breath for no reason that’ll be STRANGE TOO so now you’re breathing through your nose and you can’t look them in the eye so you QUICKLY AND UNNATURALLY LOOK AWAY LIKE THE VERY SIGHT OF THEM DISGUSTED YOU and now every inch of your face feels vaguely out of place and Forced and you have no choice but to leave the conversation immediately

Picture of Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. The caption is "me and the ugly short baddie I pulled by being autistic." Either of them could have written it. Do you see my vision.

Hi would you ever consider writing more autistic jamie fics cause you write it so well when the boys were so gentle with him and turned the lights off so he was les overwhelmed I cried

Thanks for the ask! That scene was, unusually for me, completely unplanned, but ended up being one of my favourites in the fic so far. The awful thing about meltdowns is that on top of the experience itself, people expect you to be able to explain what's going on, so I did find it kind of cathartic to write about a scenario where someone else recognizes what's happening and knows how to help without having to be told.

As for your question, the answer is yes! While I'm sure this was unintentional on the part of the writers, Jamie does just kind of read as autistic to me — most noticeably with the stimming (his little hand tuck in his shirts, the whole boot room scene in 3x11) but also because the way he sometimes misinterprets social cues is quite similar to the way that I misinterpret them (I would also assume someone telling me I'm easy to break up with was a genuine complement, for instance) — so that will probably always be at least implied in the way I characterize him. In terms of more overt depictions, I do have kind of an amorphous blob of an idea about someday writing a fic specifically about Jamie realizing he's autistic and having a crisis about it, though I'm not sure when/if I'll actually get around to that.

I’m crying, Relena really just pulled out a gun and tried to shoot a military general right in the middle of a ball. How the hell could anyone hate her? The misogyny of some people, I swear…

while i dont like how ed and stede dealt with that argument (leaving) i do understand why stede is dealing with everything this way. he’s never been praised for anything, always felt subpar. he was not a good husband by any means and hasn’t really ever been good at anything in his life so wow suddenly these new pirate guys come along and they’re praising him woaw!! this isn’t to say that all this overcomes his love for ed, i think stede believes his old self that ed fell in love with Was subpar or not good- he’s trying to make himself into a ‘real man’ or a ‘real pirate’ so he can be good enough for ed but this backfires because ed wants stede for himself. the little guys stede picks up in his fame only see the genteman pirate, not actual stede.. some things need to be learned not told i guess

“How could the Bridgeton family’s men pull the baddest bitches being like…that 😒” don’t you ever disrespect their audhd swag again

I can’t help but be amused and disgusted at the amount of people who are frightened of neurodivergent folks.

(Like me, among others)

We’re not fucking savages! And we aren’t monsters!

For fuck’s sake!

I just wish death wasn't such an absolute taboo in our society.

My grandmother died unexpectedly. But, really? Did she really??

Once upon a time, a passer-by helped Death up when he'd fallen down alongside the road. To thank him, Death promised not to come unannounced, but to send a messenger ahead of him. Death sent illness, and fewer, and old age and grey hairs and aching joints. The man didn't recognize any of these as the promised messenger, and was genuinely shocked when Death showed up at his doorstep.

My grandmother died unexpectedly. She was old, and getting noticeably weaker for years now. The last two weeks, she could barely move her arms for pain in her shoulders. Eventually, she had to call a relative for help, who called a doctor, who called an ambulance to take her to the emergency. The next day, she died of heart failure. Unexpectedly.

She was, by a complete coincidence that we definitely won't need to worry about, almost exactly the same age as her father, when he died of sudden heart failure. Funny thing, these coincidences.

My grandfather also died unexpectedly. He had Parkinson's, and wasn't able to move much those last years. Just before his death, my mother took him to the hospital for a check-up, and left him there, then came back here where we live. According to my sister, she cried when she left my grandparents' city. At that time, we visited three times a year, so she knew perfectly well that she would be back in three months' time. Why would she cry? But no, my grandfather died unexpectedly.

The next one to go will be my aunt. It is pretty clear, has been pretty clear since she was diagnosed with cancer last year. We could, theoretically, like, prepare for it. But no, because you can't talk about death, so we can't even mention it unless I'm alone with my father.

"Thank you for helping me," said Death. "As a thanks, I will not come unannounced, but will send a messenger."

"That is a fine thing," said the man. "That way, I won't have to worry about you hiding behind every tree."

And if I say any of this out loud, then I'm an unforgivable asshole.

didn't want to put this rant in the tags of that last post but honestly i feel like a lot of people hate toshiro disproportionately compared to what he actually did in-story. and if we're being real it's most likely because of racism

One of the most Worrysome Hololive Moments to me gotta be the video where Aqua is incredibly hyped after discovering caps, because she realized that when she wears one on her head she can look down and block eye contact with everyone (including hololive friends) and she's almost sure it's a healthy solution to crippling, unlimited social anxiety
