Why Not

Why do witches like always wanna fatten kids up before they eat them?? fat is like the grossest part of meat

Felt this. I finally know to unmask but I feel like I’m regressing

My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit

Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before

i love stimming i love rocking back and forth and spinning in chairs and flapping my hands and chewing on stim toys and wiggling in my seat and bouncing my legs etc

I hate this. I hate it but I had a vision and I had to spread the light.

Yeah

Something else I want to add is that support needs can change overtime- I don’t think people realize that.

In my case, as a kid I was forced to mask and often wasn’t properly accommodated. Due to neglect I had difficulty taking care of myself, and I had expectations put on me

Years later? I fell apart pretty hard. I went from able to go to school to developing other disabilities that made me require care. Around this time I experienced a noticeable regression in my skills. I can’t mask like I use to, so my autism is far more visible than it’s ever been, especially when combined with other visible disabilities.

So to anyone who forgets Autistic people with moderate to high support needs: you never know what will happen. Make sure you always include the people society deems as less desirable, because you never know when you’ll be viewed the same way as us.

We’re all on one spectrum. We must support each other.

“Of course autistic people can go to the bathroom by themselves and have jobs!!” Some can’t. They’re not burdens or an “epidemic” either. Please don’t get pulled into an argument about usefulness, because that feeds into their baseline eugenic idea that you have to “contribute to society” to justify your existence. Nobody’s worth is tied to what they can do for the state.

BOOST AGAIN

Mmm… just wanna lay in this forest where the sun hits just right and nap

Maybe he has Amy's eyesight

Unpopular opinion

I don’t want a self driving wheelchair that can go up stairs. I want ramps elevators, and curb cuts.

I don’t want a solution in 20 years, I want it now. I wanna be able to go to the mall with my friends and not have to worry about stairs. I want to go the movies and actually chose where I sit. I want to go to a park without having to parkour my way through cracked pavement and curb drops.

I want accessibility and I want it today.
