Text: I want you to know about… Autistic Shutdown

Autistic shutdown is like an internalized meltdown. While the person is experiencing a lot of emotions, they can’t express them outwardly.

It may look like this:

Zoning out

Exhaustion/falling asleep

Hiding/defensive position

How can allistic (non-autistic) folks help?

Safety first! Help them to a quiet space w minimal simuli

Be sensory sensible! Have a kit tailored to their need (eg ear defenders, stuffie or squishy and blanket)

Eliminate all expectations/demands. They are currently overloaded.

Reduce interaction, giving them time and space (shh..)

Remember:

Autistic shut-down is NOT stubborness, laziness or disrespect

Autistic shut-down IS involuntary, painful, exhausting Please be patient and compassionate.

Hello!

If you want to support the indigenous Sámi people from Sápmi (I think this might be specifically for the north of Sweden because of the Swedish logging company trying to deforest there) please visit this link and choose one or more of the ways you can help!

http://arvasfoundation.com/#!/support/

Here is a screenshot of the web page that I found in a vogue article of Sofia Jannok (singer and indigenous activist) who I’ve been following on instagram

I have personally already donated using one of the Swedish options just so you know I’m not recommending something I haven’t checked if it works

Regardless of if you can donate, please reblog or repost or spread the word to your friends and family <3

i think a lot about how it would have affected peter that after he told juno he loved him and wanted to travel all over space with him and spend the rest of their lives together, juno left.

i obviously think that it was right for juno to leave, he needed to get better and recover before he could be in a relationship and do that stuff, and honestly good for him to realise that. however i still think a lot about how it also affected peter.

do you think maybe when juno and him finally got on the carte blanche peter was unable to tell juno he loved him in fear of juno leaving again? do you think maybe everytime they go to bed together peter wonders if this is the last time he’ll cuddle juno, the last time he’ll hear the ex-detectives voice? do you think that everytime juno tells him those simple three words peter internally panics?

because i do.

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

Gertrude: All you bitches have the self confidence of gods to assume you’re gonna wed the queen and not be hunted for sport.

“Normalize x” “normalize y” I hope we denormalize everything. I hope we all become freaks. And I hope we all die
