(kitten-of-bast) Hi I Am Booping Ur Snake Snoot With A Single Large Toebean

aaaaaa drank a ton of coffee to try and help me to focus on my schoolwork,, nope welcome to hell

the cool thing about working with animals is that I have one singular neurotypical colleague (as far as I know). and it’s become super obvious to me that the way autistic people relate to animals is fundamentally different to how allistics relate to animals. and the way people with ADHD relate to animals is fundamentally different to those without. 

(only one of my colleagues has Tourette’s and only two of us have OCD, so I don’t think that’s enough to make any grand sweeping statements). 

anyway. a real interaction between two of my colleagues today.

ADHD: Maggie won’t stop barking at me. I think she’s upset.

autistic: let me go talk to her. I can fix this. 

and that’s not uncommon? my autistic colleagues and I seem to talk to the animals to a much greater extent than anyone else. my ADHD colleagues and I seem to be the best at associating the correct name and breed and dietary requirements to the correct dog, which is weird, because I can’t do the same when it comes to humans.

I know that most people communicate with their animals but… it’s different in a way I can’t quite explain. the communication and connection seems so much deeper… I don’t know, it’s just wonderful. also, the fact that so many ND people work with me… that alone… indicates something. 

why do people feel the need to debate others identity? I am an animal, end of story.

Since I’m now agender, ace, aro, & autistic, I’m officially AAAA which is pronounced like a scream

Tfw you're noclipped in the fabrics of reality experiencing multiple versions of yourselves overlapping 24/7 ✓✓

All the therian meetups videos I've ever seen are wolves running and playing in forests and parks. I think we as reptile therians need to get together and lay on some sunny rocks.

Yo creatures out there, just told my therapist about my nonhumanity and she was super supportive and understanding!! I never thought I would tell her, but it went way better than I could have expected :D

physical nonhumans/therians are those who believe that they are in some way physically an animal. A person may believe their DNA is that of a wolf’s, or that their brain/internal organs are literally that of an otter. They may also believe that under certain circumstances they can physically transform into an animal. often this is related to psychosis/delusions, but it may be due to another reason too.

At least that’s what I understand to the best of my knowledge, if anyone has a better description let me know!

*this is kind of as a coping mechanism for my shitty ass life atm im not just "doing it for fun"
