yuri and yaoi are some of the best, most sacred things in the entire world
Muppet Pride and Prejudice this, Muppet Pride and Prejudice that. Nobody sees my vision of Muppet Wuthering Heights.
This site: What the fuck is with all these animated shows getting terrible live-action remakes? We should start remaking live action media as cartoons to balance the scales.

My favourite thing about Abed Nadir is the fact that he is a HORRIBLE filmmaker.
Like I feel like when you think about autistic people, you think of people who are insanely good at their special interests and they’re bad at everything else. That’s the stereotype, and as an autistic person, I just kind of assumed that everyone else was just insanely good at their special interests.
But a special interest is just something you’re obsessed with. That doesn’t mean you’re good at it.
Abed cares about film as a medium so much that it is the way he processes and interprets reality. His opinions on movies and tv shows are thought out and long. He knows everything about everything when it comes to film.
And yet he’s absolute shit at actually doing it. With the exception of the documentary episodes, every piece of film we see from Abed is mediocre at best. He knows everything that goes into a good movie, but he can’t quite put the pieces together right.
And that’s why he’s the most relatable autistic character I’ve ever seen. He’s not some prodigy that can pull a movie out of his head in 5 seconds like it’s nothing. He’s just a guy who’s trying to get better at something. Give me more autistic characters that are completely mediocre at their special interests. Let me be autistic and also just a bit of a dumbass please

there is so much overlap between ADHD and autism (and so many people who fit the criteria for both) that it's likely they will eventually end up being reclassified as related orders, or as members of the same spectrum. this is a good thing that will make it easier for people to get an accurate and helpful diagnosis! in the meantime, I'm so proud of how much solidarity I see between ADHD and autistic folks online. I see ya'll pooling resources and sharing tools & coping strategies, and just generally offering support and acceptance, and I am so proud.
