do i believe in romance…not sure. am i obsessed with it…absolutely

just saw a post by a notorious low support needs autistic on insta that said “autism doesn’t make people violent!” (referring to a problematic show) and a bunch of level 1s agreeing with her. and let me just say -

YOU DON’T SUPPORT AUTISTICS IF YOU DON’T SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO HAVE VIOLENT MELTDOWNS.

i frequently have meltdowns where i will scream, hit, and throw fucking chairs at people i love because of sensory overload. it’s absolutely not okay and not an excuse for my behavior, however, while being autistic doesn’t make you inherently violent, autism can cause someone to exhibit violent behavior to themselves/others during meltdowns.

we are constantly forgetting those with higher support needs in this community and it really needs to fucking stop. you can’t just say a blanket statement like “autism doesn’t make you do (blank) because i don’t do it/it’s a problematic behavior/it’s a stereotype.” you don’t support autistics if you don’t recognize that some of us get violent meltdowns, period.

I hate people who force their lifestyle onto others...especially those who do not have a say...

The power of music transcends sound itself

For those of us who can not hear it, feel it

Like the dancing of a heartbeat

It is a reminder that humans love

We know it first in darkness

Like a great drum in a mother’s chest

The anthem of a peaceful army

To save all the world
