Some types music or really just music in general

Rocking

Running my hands through warm water

There’s probably more but these are all I can think of

running my thumb through the pages of a book (especially when the pages are considered more soft in texture)

What are your sensory sparks? ✨

would like to use my AAC in public but very scared to do so not tell parents about AAC yet scared they will not accept this communication and make me talk all times

As an aromantic, I find that when it comes to my stance on romance, I’m ok with what would be considered “romantic” gestures, in fact I love them. However when the gestures start being taken in a romantic context, I start feeling uncomfortable. Also for the most part I’m fine with romance and am usually my friends’ biggest supporter when it comes to their relationships, it’s not until, again the attraction and/or(?) romance is directed at me that I start to feel uncomfortable.

Damn, looks like I have to add this bird to my list of favorite birds

Common Potoo (Nyctibius griseus), mother with chick, family Nyctibiidae, order Nyctibiiformes, Brazil

Potoos used to be in the same order as nightjars, but are now placed in their own order.

Sharks are cool

That’s it that’s the whole post

I find not using AAC makes me more likely to use question mark when not sure word makes sense

Probably evidenced(?) by the amount of times I use this “(?)” as well as “(not sure if that makes sense)”and “(if that makes sense)”

I find that using the AAC makes me feel less pressured(?) to have perfect grammar(?) (which I honestly don’t think I need for a tumblr post)

No problem, glad to be of help 😁

Hi weave chat anon here to answer your question on how I got the speech feature to work/work better and it seems that only certain voices, for example I use “Nicky”, only says the words that you need it to say, if you aren’t able to hear it at all, you got to make sure your device is not on silent mode

Sorry this is so long

tysmmm ily Anon/platonic

Wanting to show y’all one of my personalized AAC boards

Less options (?) make it less overwhelming

Sorry about the coming overload(?) of pictures

Includes what some(?) of them say in full

deciding to practice AAC using a mix of keyboard and picture don’t need it for online purposes good practice though

Local aromantic asexual here to give non asexual aromantic/aroallo people my support

Giving every aroallo, just aro, and non-asexual aromantic person a respectful nod, hug, high five, handshake, or smile

I relate to this so much, especially the part about caring(?) about your friends, but not necessarily wanting(?) friendship (I’m not sure if I’m wording this right)

Being aplspec makes discussions about friendships in aro spaces so awkward like. Yeah I agree friendship should be given more respect and amatonormativity should be dismantled. Yes I care very deeply for my friend(s). No I can't relate to your experiences with friendship or wanting friends. You've lost me. Why are you talking about friendship as if everyone has and/or wants it. Hey. Whatever happened to allowing people to decide what relationships they want and what those relationships entail for themselves.

It's exhausting because aro spaces are often one of the only spaces that will respect my devotion and care (sometimes I even call it love, depending on how I'm feeling that day) for my friend, but friendship is also just treated like romance is everywhere else and no one even seems to notice. You're not gonna defeat amatonormativity with the power of platonormativity. Have you considered readjusting your understanding of relationship anarchy and questioning your own biases and assumptions about platonic relationships? I'm drowning in "use friendship as a substitute for romance" posts over here

(and it's like. I don't want to criticize people's love for their friends or anything like that. I'm just so tired of all the assumptions of having and wanting friends. They're everywhere in here and make me feel so estranged from my own community)

(this turned into a bit of a vent but it's okay to rb and add on)

I’m bored and been wanting to do this for a while so please feel free to have fun(?) in my ask box

I won’t accept anything nsfw, but other than that send whatever y’all want.

I most likely won’t answer right away, but I’ll try my best to answer/reply regardless.

since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...

reblog this post if your account is a trans safe space or owned by a trans person!

along with that, reblog if your account is a trans non-binary spectrum safe space or owned by someone on the trans enby spectrum!

Mine was along the lines of she/her - she/they - they/she - they/she/ey - they/ey/she - they/ey

i am a victim of the she/her - she/they - they/she - they/them - they/he - he/they - he/him pipeline

it is certainly quite a pipeline (i never went down it ✊)

Hi, I’m the one who asked this ask(?) and I have actually thought of identifying as either demiplatonic or greyplatonic in the past and after some looking into it I’ve decided that greyplatonic is the best fit for me between the two

So, I already know that I'm aromantic and that I don't experience romantic attraction like at all, but I'm not so sure about my platonic attraction. I know I love my friends, but I don't feel the need to befriend people when I first meet them. Rarely tho if someone approaches me first in the hopes of becoming friends and we talk and get along then I might think "hey this person is really cool I want to get to know them more". It usually take a while (tho not to long maybe a month or so) before I even consider someone a friend.

Would this be considered part (?) of the apl-spec?

that sounds a lot like demiplatonic definitely, but use whatever labels fit nicest for you

I’m so proud of myself; I let my history professor know that I’m autistic and have social anxiety and because of that I have some struggles when it comes to speaking. I also told her my pronouns. It went really well; and she asked me if the presentation that is due towards the end of the semester will be a problem (I haven’t gotten to her on that yet) and she said she appreciated my openness.

Note: I told her this information in an introduction paragraph (which is mandatory/graded) that we can use to share with her any thing that we deem of importance (if that makes sense)

Am I the only one who feels bad or I guess guilty(?) calling myself a level 2 autistic/ an autistic person with medium support needs, even though I am at that level (I don’t know if that makes sense) according to my evaluator (I was initially diagnosed at 2, but was reevaluated at around (I believe) 17 )

🤸 Welcome to marine facts with Bagel: part 3

Unlike us humans whose hearts accelerate when we panic or get scared a narwhal's heart does the opposite and slows down. When panicked narwhals can essentially become so scared that their heart slows down enough to the point that it stops. When scientists are trying to help narwhals that are stuck under ice they have to be extra careful because of the consequences scaring a narwal has.

Imma use this as an opportunity to talk about one of my favorite creatures from Celtic mythology: the kelpie

(All of this is copied and pasted from my notes app 😇)

Now the kelpie is a shapeshifting water spirit that is usually found near like streams and rivers and I think other bodies of fresh water; it usually takes the form of a horse but is capable of taking on other shapes such as that of an old woman or a man. The thing that gives the kelpie’s identity away is the fact that the kelpie is perpetually wet and cold with waterweeds in its hair or mane. When in horse form the kelpie is known for luring weary travelers to ride it; once they get on its back the kelpie then takes off into the nearest body of water, the rider, who is now stuck to the kelpie, is forced underwater by the kelpie and eventually end up drowning, after the victim is dead the kelpie eats them. If a victim ends up on the back of a kelpie one way they can prevent their death is to grab its bridle, this essentially gives the rider control.

I may or may not add more stuff to this though not specifically kelpie or folklore based, that or I might just do so on my page in general

Please info dump on this post!!

I know a lot of times people autistic/neurodivergent people feel like they have to apologize for their interests and I want to help change that.

I genuinely want to hear about your interests! I want to hear the "fun facts" and the lore of really specific media. Don't shy away from including details, you can write out a whole essay and I'll read every word. Just share about something you like unapologetically!

Mine was Monster High Dolls (though I’m still unsure if that one was a special interest), LPS (littlest pet shop), and rock collecting

There’s probably more, but I’m not sure

I can’t believe I forgot about mermaids 🤦 especially considering they were an interest of mine for the longest time

What was your old special interest you realized only years later it was a special interest?

Mine were collecting angel statues and A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

Some people have weighted blankets, I have a big ass dog that has no sense of personal space

I have half a mind to see about getting a buzz cut, but 1: it’s too cold where I live at the moment and 2: I know for sure my parents wouldn’t let me

Edit: I’ve talked to my mom about it and it sounds like she’s genuinely considering it…?

Edit 2: My dad, however, seems to be very much against it 😕

I think we can make this happen; mayhaps by sheer spite alone
