To Me. Pokespe Steven Feels Like A Character That Assumes Everything He’s Ever “earned” Has Been

reblog and put in the tags a song you hated/didn’t like the first time(s) you heard it but ended up loving after multiple listens.

A well informed autism self diagnosis is just as valid as a psychiatric diagnosis. Additionally, under the given circumstances it is safer, most probably less expensive and you don't need to wait for any appointment.

The thread reads as follows:

I hear from many trans & nonbinary people who are actively seeking an Autism diagnosis. My advice is RETHINK THIS. Restricting Autistic people's access to gender affirming care is a major TERF talking point. As legal attacks on trans healthcare mounts, a psychiatric dx is a risk

The high overlap between Autism & transness was one of the main "concerns" JK Rowling rose in her "TERF Wars" blog post. Numerous fearmongering anti-trans articles influenced by TERFs have raised the issue since. if youre trans now is not a good time to seek a formal Autism dx.

An Autism dx does not unlock access to any beneficial therapeutic treatment, bc there is no "treating" Autism. Formal diagnosis makes us vulnerable to legal & psychiatric control and gets our competence challenged -- you dont need to subject yourself to this. diagnose yourself

I am close with dozens and dozens of Autistic people, and I have no idea who has a diagnosis and who does not. It does not matter. There is no reason to ask, no reason for others to care how someone identifies and how they arrived there -- all that matters is community support.

also if you cannot afford to pursue a lengthy & expensive lawsuit, it's unlikely a formal diagnosis will actually protect you from discrimination at work, in school or in housing. if you have the means great, but most don't. disclosing disability can be more risk than its worth.

if you need a dx to access resources such as disability benefits or extra test time, by all means go for it, but be cognizant of the potential costs. you could be denied for surgery, lose control of your assets, be found legally incompetent, lose custody of your kids...

My autism dx was forced on me at age 2 and kept me out of the military in my 20s. It’s been nothing but destructive. I was beat up in sped and believed myself to be stupid my entire life because of it. I can’t even buy life insurance.

In some states, people with autism face being denied organ transplants, are at higher risk for forced sterilization and/or denied contraceptive and reproductive care, and have a higher risk of police brutality I considered this and decided informal diagnosis was best for me

In the UK, an autism diagnosis is already a significant barrier to gender-affirming care. The GICs automatically try to discount dysphoria as autism during your initial assessments with them. If you arrive pre-diagnosed with autism they write your dysphoria off as that.

birthdays to be honest are stupid

a birthday is just a reminder that of the day that you were put into this pitiful world

on my birthday we go on like nothing's happening because to be honest it's more productive that way

no i have never died my hair if i dyed my hair i feel so it will be disrespectful to sootopolitans, and i couldnt do that...

now cutting my hair is essential though because you need to have a good hairstyle and that involves cutting your hair often so yeah

my favorite game i don't play video games at all so to be honest i don't really like video games and i don't have a favorite though i keep hearing this one game called among us and it makes me want to slam my head into a wall

favorite pokemon? kyogr- no- milotic. it is the only one that is there for me (f*cking steven)

Yeah, Steven Stone detective is cool, but what if Wallace was one too?

celebi.

it really doesn't like wallace i guess `\( ' _ ' )/'

I remember the panel in the RSE chapter from the manga, where time was reversed and everyone who died was brought back.

Does anyone know how that worked? Like did Celebi just bring back the dead or did they do something else other than break the orbs. Because Wallace is still badly injured afterwards. ( I can't find the panel right now, but he was like in a arm sling and half of his face was bandaged).

So I'm wondering, how did celebi's itme travel really work?

Oh what's that? You DIDN'T stay up all night, 0 sleep reading Originshipping fics? Nice! That'd ruin your sleep schedule! Good on you! :D
