level 1 autism isn't just being quirky. saying that it is is confusing for people who also have level 1 and then think "no i must be high support needs" because they keep getting fired from jobs, or can't manage their own finances, or lose speech sometimes, or struggle to communicate anything beyond the literal.

like my diagnostic paperwork says "level 1" on it. i'm not a huge fan of flattening autistic experiences into homogenous "tiers" but like. there's a big difference between someone like me, who can hold basic conversations and work full time in competitive employment, vs someone who is nonspeaking and cannot work.

but that doesn't mean i'm "quirky." my parents literally tried to put me under a guardianship, on the recommendation of a doctor. strangers know i "have something wrong with me." i've been nearly expelled from two different universities. i struggle to convey nuanced and subjective information to like. employers and doctors and landlords. everybody who knows me knows i have communication issues. my motor skills impact my ability to feed myself--i.e. move food from my plate into my mouth without getting it all over the table and my clothes. not just "oh i don't know what to cook tonight uwu." i spent 2 years in high school in a social skills class where they tried to make us memorize facial expressions on flash cards, and had to take us on weekly outings to learn how to ride the bus and order at an ice cream shop.

this kind of framing of level 1 autism as being "just quirky" is harmful to all autistic people, because it means that level 1 autistic people like me, who are disabled by autism, will see this and think "well i'm not just quirky, i must be level 2 or 3" and then start talking over people whose disability from their autism is more pronounced. we see this with people who lose speech sometimes calling themselves nonspeaking. or with people who live with roommates calling themselves "high support needs" because they "can't live alone."

it's hurtful to all of us to pretend that there exists any autistic person who is "just quirky." what separates "autism" as the clinical diagnosis from "autistic traits" as in the thing that most people have a few of, is that if you're actually autistic, your autistic traits cause a disability. "just quirky" = does not have autism.

love myself a cockroach of a character. i look at them and go ”how is that fucker not dead? they should be dead. they should be dead ten times over. how are they not?” and 90% of the time the answer is a combo of sheer stubborness and homosexuality

When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal

This one goes out to the clowns.

So I’m seeing people in deep denial that louis mural is not a rainbow. So I’m here as the logical guidance you’ve all been looking for to help make less of a fool of yourselves.

So firstly no. No it’s not a rainbow. It’s actually a tv test pattern. Here’s the proof:

These are the colours of a test pattern:

Here are the colours on louis mural:

Oh would you look at that... the same.

Now here’s the colours in a rainbow:

Now lets look back at the mural:

Completely different.

A rainbow follows the Roy g biv pattern, there is no other order for a rainbow to exist. Rainbows in nature are Roy g biv and rainbows on pride flags are too. So people can stop saying “the mural is so loud” “I’m so proud of Louis” “they’re going to be free soon” because that’s not what it is. It’s not a signal, it’s not a sign, it’s a design that has to do with a broken tv, look it even has static to go with it. You can still be proud of Louis but be proud of his album, his music NOT his sexuality which this has NOTHING to do with.

Thank you for coming to me ted talk and make sure to stream walls on the 31st of January.

We Made It

Okay so uh, we made it is literally ABOUT Harry. And I’m kinda flipping my shit. (I wasn’t a directioner okay I found myself really loving Harry’s music when he went solo so now I’ve been drawn into this hot mess.)

But like the lyrics are so clearly about his time with one direction AND it is a love song. Like come on:

We Made It

By Louis Tomlinson

'Cause we made it

Underestimated

And always underrated

Now we're saying goodbye

Waving to the hard times

Yeah, it's gonna be alright

Like the first time

Met you at your doorstep

Remember how we tasted

Looking into your eyes

Baby, you were still high

Never coming down with your hand in mine

Oh my, I remember those nights

Meet you at your uni', cheap drinks

Drink 'em all night

Staying out 'til sunrise

Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about

Things we'd never say to someone else out loud

We were only kids, just tryna work it out

Wonder what they'd think if they could see us now, yeah

'Cause we made it

Underestimated

And always underrated

Now we're saying goodbye

Waving to the hard times

Knew that we would be alright

From the first time

Met you at your doorstep

Remember how we tasted

Looking into your eyes

Baby, you were still high

Never coming down with your hand in mine

Oh, God, what I could've become

Don't know why they put all of this on us when we're so young (I’m gonna kill all y’all who hurt him)

Done a pretty good job dealing with it all

When you're here, don't need to say no more

Nothing in the world that I would change it for

Singing something poppy on the same four chords

Used to worry 'bout it but I don't no more, yeah

'Cause we made it

Underestimated

And always underrated

Now we're saying goodbye

Waving to the hard times

Smoke something, drink something

Yeah, just like the first time

Met you at your doorstep

Remember how we tasted

Looking into your eyes

Baby, and we're still high

Never coming down with your hand in mine

with your hand in mine

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

No, no, no, no

'Cause we made it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, 'cause we made it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Never coming down with your hand in mine

Like holy shit y’all this is some beautiful gay shit
