Hi Everyone,

Hi Everyone,

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this cute poster I found on Pinterest. It talks about how to make friends with autistic individuals. (It refers to children, but I think older people can learn from this too.)

I know the text is hard to see, so I’ll put it below:

HOW TO BE A FRIEND TO SOMEONE WITH AUTISM

Take the Initiative to Include Him or Her

Your friend may desperately want to be included and may nos know how to ask. Be specific about what you wonchim co go

Find Common Interests

it will be much easier to talk about or shor something you both like to do (movies, sports, music, books, TV shows, ete).

Be Persistent and Patient

Remember that your friend with Autism may take more time to respond than other people. It doesn't necessariv mean he or she isn’t interested.

Communicate Clearly

Speak at a reasonable speed and volume.

Stand Up For Him or Her

If you see someone teasing or bullying a friend with autism, take a stand and tell the person that it's not cool.

Give Feedback

if your friend with autism is doing something inappropriate, it’s OK to tell him nicely. Just make sure to also tell him what the right thing to do is becouse he mov not know

Remember Sensory Sensitivity

Your friend may be very uncomfortable in certoin situations or places (crowds, noisy areas, etc.). Ask if he or she is ok.

Don't Be Afraid

Your friend is just a kid like you who needs a little help. Accept his or her differences and respect strengths ust as vou would for any friend.

I hope many of you find this helpful.

Oh how i wish…

I really wish I could pluck Snape out of Harry Potter and put him in Discworld. I think he'd fit better there. And then I could spend all my time thinking about Discworld.

Is no one else concerned about the fact that swirlies is a form of bullying that is terrifyingly similar to a torture method known as waterboarding.

autistic people are allowed to fit autism stereotypes

i take things literally. i don’t get a lot of neurotypical humor and often feel left out of the joke or even feel like i’m the joke sometimes. i’m gullible. there’s no way to sugarcoat it or put it more nicely, i’m just gullible. i don’t always know what’s satire. i’m socially awkward and have a hard time befriending or remaining friends with anybody who isn’t like me.

much of the autism community puts so much emphasis on “all autistic people aren’t x” and not enough on “who cares if we’re x, we deserve rights”

this goes doubly for ID and nonspeaking autistics btw i just can’t speak to that experience personally

I have this entire headcanon of merlin calling lancelot just "lance" . And one day he's rambling to arthur about lance this lance that and arthur just goes

"Lance?"

"Yeah"

"L A N C E?"

"......-celot. Lancelot. Sir lancelot."

"...."

"...nickname. it's a nickname. Term of endearment. You give it to someone you like."

And then Arthur pines for weeks and tries to call merlin "merls"
