The Government Made Us Take Sex And Magic Off The Pride Flag Because The Asexuals Were Killing People

There are so many stories about animals like cows, dogs, penguins, dophins ect have best friends so ... it's not even our species, life means to have meaningful relationships with others (and even between species!)

zany to me how these um actually nihilists like to pretend that "um actually love/friendship/cooperation/kindness isn't real bc we evolved that way to benefit ourselves as a species..." um YES? that's also where tool use comes from? that's where cooking comes from? am i supposed to think social bonds & tool use & cooking aren't "real" because they evolved over time instead of appearing fully formed from the ether?

sorry u can't enjoy things. im a superior being twirling a fork in my bowl of delicious noodles whilst staring in adoration at the world

I am apparently working on becoming a local cryptid at the store. Talents include:

Monitoring the changing of the seasons via mozzarella

Predicting the weather by picking up a piece of cheese and mysteriously saying “oh, the storm is gonna be bigger than we thought...” just before thunder

Mind reading, e.g. “Can you help me find a cheese? It’s called, uh... [starts fishing out shopping list]” “Gruyere?” “...yes O_o”

if you’re an ADHD person reading one of my #actuallyautistic posts and wondering ‘do my experiences count for this’ the answer is basically always: ‘if you think they do, then absolutely!’

there is a huge overlap between ADHD and autistic experiences (I’m diagnosed with both). please feel free to relate however you want and add whatever tags feel relevant to you.

(also, you don’t need to have autism or ADHD to relate to my posts on those topics. my whole goal is to educate people by describing my experiences & symptoms in a relatable way. relating to autistic and adhd people is good! it is so much better than the opposite.)

Why Bruce Wayne Is Autistic

i am 100% convinced this man is autistic. fight me. this post is specifically about battinson, but the other versions of batman also seem autistic to me (i am autistic myself so i should know). btw this is just my interpretation of what we saw of him in the movie, so sorry if any of this is wrong maybe i am just bad at analyzing stuff-

disclaimer: ignorant and ableist comments will be deleted

warnings : none

he is very soft spoken

monotone voice

eye contact seems difficult for him (either very intense or not at all)

"inappropriate" staring

his face doesn't show much emotion (but his eyes are so expressive)

seems socially awkward (same tbh lmao)

doesn't laugh at jokes (or doesn't understand them?)

doesn't reply to others sometimes (it could be that he's nonverbal occasionally or just needs more time to think of an answer)

needs to be reminded to take a shower or eat

sensitive to light (wears sunglasses indoors)

high pain tolerance

strong sense of justice

black and white thinking (thinking his dad was either a bad OR good person, viewing gordon as a good cop)

notices small details/patterns that others don't

special interest could be being batman and protecting gotham or building tools/upgrading the batmobile

hyper-empathy but can't really express it (example: for the mayor's son or selina)

prefers working alone

rejects social norms (doesn't really try to sound polite, immediately starts speaking to alfred when he woke up)

other people treat him like he's some fragile being or a child (many autistic people get treated like that, sadly). alfred did this but i know he only meant well (which makes sense since he practically raised him). falcone did it too but in a condescending way

also this doesn't have to do anything with battinson but look at this comic panel (from "batman the imposter") :
