Adults: Following Rules Is Good, Not Following Rules Is Bad

im suuuuuper tired. i think ill stay up for another 5-24 hours

"All autistics have low empathy" - This statement is wrong.

"Autistics having low empathy is a MYTH, we actually have HIGH empathy!" - This statement is ALSO wrong.

Autistics can have low empathy, they can have high empathy, they can have learned empathy. The myth would be that all autistics only experience one end of the empathy spectrum.

In spreading around misinformation that autistics actually have high empathy, you are disregarding the autistics who do have low empathy. And vice versa.

“don’t trace my art” cool “don’t steal my art” makes sense “don’t take inspo from my art” ????what the fuck are you talking about

anybody else have like. public and private pronouns. like yeah strangers can use he or she for me idc but if you're a friend im expecting they/them only. and if you're a close friend you unlock the super secret rights to use it/its (exclusive) (rare drop)

"teens are prone to tantrums and are emotionally unstable" - okay, yeah, puberty is real, and emotional regulation is a difficult skill to learn. but also. any adult person would be pissed if their opinions were disregarded, they had no say in what happens to them, their emotions and feelings were downplayed and their privacy were intruded on.

you know, it kind of feels weird to start all over again. tumblr once felt like home to me but now it just feels like a stranger. i guess i'll just have to start using it more often before i feel that way again. it has been a while, and things have changed since i was last here, so it makes sense that i feel kind of "estranged". i just hope things go back to the way they used to be sooner than later, and hopefully not never. it also doesn't help that my algorithm is all screwed up again but hopefully i can fix it quickly

when your brain is screaming at you to do something and be productive but your body just doesn't give a fuck <<<

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?
