// Shoutout to everyone with kleptomania. I also have it and I know how bad it can be. It gets better!

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

years later House is still as relevant as he ever was

So, I have a morbid curiosity issue but also OCD and anxiety, so sometimes, when I fall down a rabbit hole of something just a bit too creepy (especially when it comes with creepy pictures, like this schoolboy9 thing,) I find myself irrationally afraid of stupid things. Like twenty-ish minutes ago, I was afraid of seeing that schoolboy9 guy in my closet if I got up to go to the bathroom. I knew it was irrational, but I was too scared of that to get up. So here's a solution that worked for me;

Reaction content for kids under twelve.

Seriously. Azzyland, Kyutie, and Reaction Time, Azzyland and Reaction time slightly more but Kyutie does have some more adult-geared content if you'd prefer that. I just watch a couple videos and boom, I'm feeling better and I can get up and do what I need to do. I recommend it.

(Also, those merging games! I know there's a trick with Tetris, where if you see something scary you can play Tetris for a while and it helps you forget whatever than thing was, but I've never been good at Tetris. But merge gemstones games, like Candy Crush or, my favourite, Enchanted Kingdom; Eliza's Adventure, those help me take my mind off of whatever I saw. Plus they're easier.)

Sia’s overwhelmingly offensive movie, loads of comedians raising money for an organisation that wants to find a ‘cure’ for autism and now Elon Musk presenting himself as representative of people with ‘Aspergers’- this is really the year of celebrities deciding gang together to fuck over autistic people huh?

Needs to be said, probably controversial, but "bad" people deserve support for their mental health issues as well. "Bad" people should not be dehumanized and berated for their mental health issues. I dont care what they've done

To my knowledge, my hair started turning grey when I was ten. But, from what I remember, I was super surprised to find a grey strand so it might have started sooner than that. My hair has also steadily been getting greyer since then.

you are not a burden.

you are strong.

Hey Writers

Have you ever been writing a disabled character and wished there was just one great source on as many pieces of adaptive technology, medical equipment, accessibility devices, and whatever else have you as possible? Have you ever spent hours scouring the internet trying to find a source with everything your disabled character might need?

Well, have I got a site for you.

Rehabmart is an online store with a catalogue of thousands of rehabilitation, medical, and accessibility devices, ranging from simple things like canes to major medical equipment like cardiac catheterization items, all listed with what the items are, what they do, and even how they help certain symptoms or non-specific conditions. All of this is sorted neatly into several dozen simple categories on this page here. The information provided on the site may not answer your every question, but it's a fantastic starting point for the largest range of items I've ever seen from one source.

Consider checking it out.

(Disclaimer, I am endorsing this site as a writing aid, not as a place to buy medical equipment online. Please only buy equipment from sources you can trust to be safe.)

I know.

I know why your autistic child screams in public.

I know why they "do weird things".

I know why they repeat you.

I know why they repeat a word over and over.

I know why they dont like that food.

I know why they dont like hugs.

I know why they repeat themselves a lot.

I know why they are who they are. But you wont listen to me to help your child. Your child could thrive if you listened.

And why do I know all this? Because I'm an autistic adult.
