Me: So Being Autistic Effects Every Part Of Me...

Definitely!! I get super alert almost to the point of hypervigilance especially if I’m tired but don’t feel safe enough to relax.

Anyone else super jumpy while sleep deprived? Like my mother and her friend are talking and I keep jumping like a scared little bat and I'm confusedd

i absolutely love the peace and serentiy i got as soon as i stopped forcing myself to see us as at least fractionally human

it's okay if people consider themselves partly human, i'm only talking about our holotheric therian experience here

Just like, even the disdain we had towards humans eased, because it's no longer a confusion but an accpetance of species difference.

Physical nonhumanity is not inherently bad or unhealthy, whatever that means for oneself.

friendly reminder:

trauma-born alterhumanity is VALID!

non-shifting alterhumanity is VALID!

neruodivergency-born alterhumanity is VALID!

system-born alterhumanity is VALID!

disabled alterhumans are VALID!

polykins/polytherians are VALID!

monokins/monotherians are VALID!

endels (people who's alterhumanity is caused by clinical zoanthropy/lycanthropy) are VALID!

YOU ARE VALID!

schizophrenia is not just experiencing positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions). a lot of schizophrenics are neurodivergent in other ways. this focus on the positive symptoms is a villainious way to gatekeep us from neurodivergent spaces because our positive symptoms are typically portrayed as "scary".

our negative symptoms (flat effect, being withdrawn, avolition and anhedonia) are skewed to portray us as "evil" because we're not "emotive" or "caring" enough. schizospec disorders make everyday activities so hard. basic hygiene isn't a habit, we have little to no motivation to do basic things, the lack of happiness and pleasure can turn into severe depression for some of us and that's why depressive and bipolar schizoaffectives exist. people don't grasp the fact that schizophrenia is a disability.

i've personally experienced a lot of cruelty from other neurodivergent people because there is little to no education on schizospec disorders even within neurodivergent spaces. we're seen as inherently morally reprehensible for our disorder and people are so casually ableist to us. i'm not able to speak up for myself in these spaces because i feel like there is no where else i can go. neurotypicals are cruel to schizophrenics but so are other neurodivergent people. people need to have more care and love for schizophrenics.

yes that includes schizophrenics with little to no empathy, schizophrenics of color, trans schizophrenics, gay schizophrenics, schizophrenic systems, autistic schizophrenics, schizophrenics with adhd, fat schizophrenics, poor schizophrenics, homeless schizophrenics, schizophrenic sex workers, schizophrenics who've experienced abuse, schizophrenics with ocd, schizophrenics with ptsd/cptsd, schizophrenic children and teens, elderly schizophrenics, schizophrenics who are also physically disabled, all schizophrenics.

all schizophrenics deserve love.

Shoutout to all my pals with unusual kintypes! You are valid and you are not alone no matter how rare you are! Much love <3

Humans are so scared of realising they're animals like all the rest of us, that they have to make up some excuse as to why they're different. Those excuses basically boil down to experiences that are universal to most life and assuming it's exclusive to them. Like no, love and compassion are not uniquely human. Most social animals share those traits. Art and beauty aren't either. Nor is language. Humans are animals like the rest of us. And that's okay. Nature is a beautiful thing, and you are part of it

if any mutuals (or anyone really) ever wanna chat, I promise I’m real chill. anons are fine too!I’m kinda awkward, but I’m always up for random conversations.

I hope I give off the vibe to all animals that I am their ally and friend

Got an internship working at a wildlife rehab. All those animals are my coworkers fr
