here are all the individual pony pride icons so far! I included some alt versions for trixie, bubbles & sunburst ♥ I'm hoping to make another batch of these including more flags, these have been super fun to make!
I think one of the reasons why having the label ‘autistic’ to describe myself is how much more normal it makes me feel (ironically.) Before being diagnosed, it’s not like I really thought I was a typical person, I thought I was weird in some way but I wasn’t really sure what or how to define that. It made me feel different from anyone in the world. I knew that autism existed, but with the limited view I had of it I didn’t realize it could describe me.
I felt like my own special kind of broken, and that was very lonely, and it made my struggles feel like a moral failing. It made me fear there was no chance or hope for me, nothing that could potentially provide me support, as approaches intended for NTs didn’t work well, and I assumed anything for NDs simply wouldn’t apply to me.
But that changed- I realized there was a name for what I was feeling, other people with the same experiences I had thought were so alien, coping mechanisms and strategies to get through that tailored for someone who thought like me.
Obviously not all autistic people are the same. It’s a very broad, diverse spectrum. But the shared experiences among us are so important. Maybe a grim way to put it would be ‘misery loves company’. But I think it’s more hopeful than that.
I cannot get over the assassination happening while I was trying to get coverage for my testosterone. Imagine going into the pharmacy all excited to get your first ever testosterone prescription but find out it costs 800$ out of pocket for a three month supply and UHC won't cover it. So then you wait for your provider to get back to you about changing your prescription for an entire week and a half, and during that wait someone just. goes and fucking murders the CEO of your insurance company. Like they just kill him on the street. They had so much calculated hatred for this guy that they even engraved each bullet that hit him. Then, as if the heavens themselves opened up entirely to watch brian thompson descend into hell, your testosterone is ready two days later for pickup, and only costs 10 delicious dollars.
