Oh Yeah, For Sure. Especially With Conditions Like Autism.

Oh yeah, for sure. Especially with conditions like Autism.

It’s often hereditary—and chances are that if you have it, a family member has it too. High-functioning ASD can often slip under the radar, and a lot of people get diagnosed later in life because of that.

The funny thing about figuring out youre neurodivergent is looking through your family and starting to notice youre definitely not the only one

Freaking love my little Dachsbun baby. Her name is Alice, and she soloed the seven-star Charizard, as well as helping me take down the new seven-star Cinderace raid. She’s such a tanky gal!

P. S.

She’s named after the Disney live-action Alice in Wonerland version of Alice, because at the end of the movie Alice slays a dragon. I felt that it was fitting. :)

Omg I love all of these! 🩷

As for who would sing them from the non-Deception (or ex-Deception) side of things in IDW—may I nominate Cyclonus, Impactor, Terminus, Drift, Rodimus, Pipes, Swerve, Brainstorm, Rewind, Riptide, The Scavengers, and Thuderclash? :D

Also, I feel like Megatron would know the all the folk songs from the mines/gladiatorial pits as well, but is too reserved to sing. However, a passerby might hear him humming their tunes under his breath…

I’d like to hear y’all takes on this too!

The last post I reblogged about folk songs made me wonder what Cybertronian folk songs would be like and I have some proposals:

We Are Iacon and We Are The Best Because Primus Loves Us

Fuck You Iacon, You Pricks

We Are Vos and We Are the Best Because We Can Fly, Fuck You

Vos Sucks But We Hate Iacon More

Polyhex Sucks, But At Least We Aren't Kaon

Kaon Sucks, But At Least We Aren't Tarn

Tarn Sucks, But At Least We Have Booze and Cybersheep

Iacon Took Our Cybersheep And Now We're All Stuck Working In Mines, What The Fuck

Working In a Mine Sucks, Let's Get Drunk And Sing In Secret

The Lunar Colonies Are Cold And Lonely, But They're Home

The Rust Sea Is Beautiful, But Don't Go In There, It's Scary

I Went In And It Was Scary, Also I Might Be Married To A Sea Monster

My Lover Drives Fast, They Are So Sexy

My Lover Flies Fast, They Are So Sexy

My Lover Swims Fast, They Are So Sexy

My Lover Is From Another Caste So We Can't Be Together, I Hope We Can Reunite In the Allspark, In The Meantime I'm Really Sad

We Kicked Those Quintessons Asses, We Are Awesome

Oh Shit They Came Back

A Very Long Song About How Awesome Each of The Primes Were (But If You Actually Listen You'll Notice They All Did Fucked Up Stuff)

I Made a Deal With Unicron, Sure Hope This Doesn't Backfire

It Backfired

Oh yes, this is a really helpful guide. It can also be helpful to non-autistics as well! Some symptoms of ASD can also cross over to other conditions like PTSD and ADHD. It’s important to recognize your limits and know when you need to step away!

Some things that tip me off when I’m getting overloaded are on this list, but disassociation and the freeze response can also be reactions of overload too. So can becoming mono-syllabic or non-verbal.

Another important thing: don’t belittle yourself for needing a break! Everyone needs one from time to time, even neurotypicals. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, knowing how to take time for yourself in stressful situations is a sign of good boundaries and good mental health! I wish more parents taught this stuff to their kids; so many meltdowns could have been avoided.

Clues to help you figure out if an autistic friend or loved one is in overload

Overload is basically the point where our Autistic brains can no longer handle input. It's not a meltdown or shutdown, but more of a mental checkout. Frequent overloads, however, can lead to meltdowns or shutdowns.

It's important not to assume that we will have overload only in loud or busy environments. Autistic brains often process information at a much slower pace than a NT brain, so even quiet environments can cause overload if something triggers it.

Note: not every autistic experience is the same and these are general guidelines only.

Common signs of overload:

Loss of facial expression or difficulties in making facial expressions. May start to exaggerate facial expressions, too, as they are struggling to mask.

Staring off into space, easily distracted, struggling to pay attention etc.

Increased stimming.

Difficulties in speaking such as stuttering, forgetting words, mixing up sounds, or difficulty speaking at all.

May try to cover their ears, eyes etc to sensory input.

Increased sensitivities and may include new or unique sensitivities.

Headaches or feeling physically sick such as sweating, stomach ache etc.

Fellow Autistics: what signs would you like for others to know?
