Just for ONCE, I’d love to see a story about an canon autistic character who is COMPLEX.

Who is autistic and more.

Whose personality is rich and fun and whose autism doesn’t other them, but actually shapes them.

I want autism seen in women, and people of color, and to see how culture shapes the subtle nuances of someone on the spectrum.

I want an autistic person with friends.

I want queer aspies, and autistic working professionals, whose asd actually helps instead of hindering their work ethic.

Autistics who are funny—and I DO NOT mean funny by default because they’re socially inept. I mean actually genuinely funny. I mean goofing off, cracking jokes, being the class clown.

I want to see aspies who have more than one special interest, and whose interests aren’t science and nature related.

I want girls who weren’t diagnosed until 17 or 20, and who still question it because girls are conditioned to silence their symptoms and socially adjust.

I want autistic people who are actually like me.

I want autistic PEOPLE.

Last time I made a post about this, I made a lot of people angry, but disabled individuals deserved to be explicitly protected in the constitution, and that’s that.

Constitutionally protecting disabled people literally harms nobody but the corporations and people that actively attempt to hurt them, so if you’re still mad about that, maybe you should reevaluate your outlook on life

Please spread the word!

I work in a grocery store in a teeny town in Florida right near Daytona Beach, and we have a basically nonexistent LGBTQ+ community. Two of my regulars are a lesbian couple who have been together for thirty years. THIRTY YEARS!! They are super cute and always very kind to me when I ring up their groceries. One time, they came into the store after Volusia Pride (my county’s tiny pride festival) all decked out in rainbow stuff, and I said I liked it, and they just gave me smiles and said, “You’re family.” They are truly lovely.

They own a chocolate company called Sappho Chocolates that make gourmet chocolate that looks amazing. With the holidays coming up, it’s a great time to support a lesbian-owned business and treat your loved ones (or yourself) to some awesome chocolate. This is their website. If you can’t afford to buy anything from them, please reblog this post! I love these two wonderful ladies, and their business needs support!

Do any other neurodivergents ever get yelled at because they used the wrong tone of voice and didn’t realize it? Like I was asking mom a genuine question and I just got yelled at because she thought I was being rude and sarcastic. Like… No? Please answer my question?

Things that have happened on my bus · Some was watching Dragon ball Z, he was really fat and acne ridden. Hes in 5th grade… · A 8th grader brought a juul on the bus and blew smoke in someone face for calling them a hoe · we have things called ‘30 seconds’ or '60 seconds’ where kids on good terms fight in the back of the bus for 30 or 60 seconds at a time. there was once a leaderboard and a 6 grader won last year. ·Some kid played porn really loud on his bluetooth speakers. Some kid got a blowjob and ate a 8 grader out (he was 7th) ·some other kid decided to smoke his homework… As in light his homework and take hits of it… ·I do random peoples homework for money (my regulars are top of the class) · Some people stood up on the seats when the bus driver wasnt looking and flashed his girlfriend (and the entire bus) · and how could we forget the time soem kid climbed out of a window on the ride to school Thats it… More to come soon about my demon school

ADHD/autism culture is forgetting to do important things like eating because I got distracted pacing around my kitchen for an hour

Woman: “(unattractive man) raped me.”

Society: “Oh come on. You would have liked it if he was attractive. I bet he just said hi to you and you called it rape because he’s ugly. Besides, you’re a b*tch for not giving him a chance just because of his appearance.”

Woman: “(attractive man) raped me.”

Society: “Oh come on. Women throw themselves at him. He has no reason to rape anyone. I bet you’re just mad that he didn’t call you the next day, or maybe you’re just after his money.”

y'all ever get bored but like in an angry way….like you keep picking things up and putting them down bc none of them is The Right Thing and you have like pent up manic energy but absolutely nothing is holding your interest long enough to release it and you’re just >:(
