I've lost count of the number of times my partner has asked if I'm okay because I look annoyed or angry. Nah, that's just my face.

Who else here has R.A.F.?

As an autistic person, I am often told I look ‘angry’ when I am just resting my face

Why do neurotypicals always just

Have a problem with autistic resting faces

Like

Every autistic I know has had an interaction like this at some point

"Why do you look so sad" "you're giving me a dirty look" "at least try to look happy"

THAT'S JUST MY FACE

me before playing bug fables & looking at kabbu's sprite: huh he looks kind of scary, look at his eye he looks pissed. he must be the grumpy & stoic one of the bunch

me looking at him immediately after finishing bug fables: oh he's just autistic

All my life, people have taken my shyness for sullenness, snobbery, bad temper of one sort or another.

shoutout 2 this person in my class who i can tell wants 2 talk 2 me really bad but instead of doing that whenever she has the chance she'll talk 2 whoever else is around and ignore me entirely unless im mentioned by name

woo young woo, extraordinary ace attorney!

not to mention having to adjust to living with their siblings! I'm autistic and having people moving in/out of my space is a routine NIGHTMARE and I suspect Donnie won't even really attribute this to autism (if he's even diagnosed) so constantly getting stressed and frustrated and burnt out seemingly for no reason /nf

Oh lord yes. Living with this new family unit is gonna be a HUGE adjustment for everyone involved, and the Twins may have a particular challenge in that they are used to having SO much space! They both have huge master bedrooms and a whole floor to themselves, and like, sure, a lot of the 'privacy' they enjoyed was superficial and performative, but like... they didn't really have to care about being a 'good housemate' to anyone! It was just the pair of them and an entire hotel staff there to cater to their every whim!

And everyone involved is gonna be so fucking stressed out as a BASELINE. Donnie and Leo are in a new enviornment, they've left behind their mother, they're both going through significant health challenges, they have to SHARE THEIR SPACE for the first time ever and '''be considerate of others''' or whatever the fuck, plus they're trying to adjust to not having schedules or scripts or an audience or adoring fans?!?! AND THERE'S NO POOL?????

having finished dungeon meshi i can now confirm that yoo joonghyuk would kill it as a dungeon meshi character

When it comes to Sara, some of you all think you're a Felice, but you're really a Stella or Fredrika.

I'd appreciate another friend or two. Though honestly I'm an introvert.

But everyone who sees my Autism unmasked, has this reaction 😑

finally found a place to read With the Light online and i'm thrilled; if you haven't read this manga i do Legitimately recommend it

i genuinely admire how much you can talk in the tags of your reblogs. they're really entertaining to read, how do you get so many Thoughts in your mind and manage to word them

gjdkghkshgjsh thank you

also the answer to your question as to how i do it is that i am extremely autistic about these characters and can't NOT think about and scream about them in the tags bc i am obsessed to a genuinely unhinged degree 🩵
