If I See One More SA Post After Blocking Anything Related To It, I’m Going To Cook Everyone Who Does

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons

One of the more ridiculous things I saw recently online was someone trying to claim autistic people don’t experience ableism much because it’s a hidden disability. Then they blocked me when I said that making assumptions about the experiences of a disabled person is ableist in itself….

I LOVE THEM I CANT

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

I think the word "baggage" is to "trauma" what "squick" is to "trigger":

that is, a word that we should use to describe an experience more accurately so we're not watering down terms that are needed by ppl to describe very serious, specific experiences.

you ever look back at old photos of yourself and realize you’ve had such a glow up and how absolutely fucking embarrassing you were… then to realize that was only a YEAR AGO — when did time start moving so fast yet so slow? I swear 2020 was yesterday and 15 years ago.

Being inclusive to autistics as an autistic is recognising and accepting that we all have conflicting wants or needs.

You may hate bright lights but another autistic may love them.

You may hate being in crowds but another autistic might love that.

You may hate tags on your shirt but another autistic may actually like having tags on their shirt.

You may love bland foods but another autistic may love rich or extreme flavours.

You may love infodumping to people but it may be too overwhelming for another autistic.

A spectrum includes all ends of extremes. And all of it deserves to be accepted and accommodated for.
