We’ve Made Autism Into A Small Insignificant Personality Trait/identity Like Being Queer And That’s

we’ve made autism into a small insignificant personality trait/identity like being queer and that’s actually so fucking wrong and insulting

37.9% of autistics have an intellectual disability

1/3rd of autistics are completely nonspeaking

most autistics will not be able to hold a job, go to college, or live on their own

autism rarely travels alone and has many medical comorbidities like epilepsy, mitochondrial disorders, and genetic disorders (which are the most common comorbidities - these aren’t rare complications.)

we can have discussions about autism and ableism and how society sees us without spreading misinformation.

autism is a lifelong, often debilitating neurodevelopmental and genetic disorder that affects how one communicates and interacts with the world. it is not “just being socially awkward” or feeling nervous in social situations. it is a neurological disability. start treating it like one.

IMDB Ratings of First Man

Why does First Man have 5.5 stars on IMDB, yet an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes? Do people really hate the movie First Man, or are trollers and moon conspirators rating the movie low even without seeing it?

I have seen another movie that right after release, a ton of people rated the movie one star on IMDB without seeing the movie. I’m wondering if the same thing is happening. Why did 196 people on IMDB gave First Man one star???????????????????????

In the summer of 2016, I visited the National Museum of American History, and for some reason the museum has Al’s spacesuit (why is it not in one of the TWO National Air and Space Museums?)

This Might Require An Encyclopedic Knowledge Of Avatar Characters To Understand, But It’s Pretty Hilarious

This might require an encyclopedic knowledge of Avatar characters to understand, but it’s pretty hilarious if you fall into that category.

Things I’m learning from my internship

College Tired is different than Work Tired, in both intensity and pride.

There is a microwave in the break room. Do not use it.

The farthest cubicle wedged into the corner by the supply closet does not count as a “corner office.”

Do not be concerned about the people who poop at work. Be concerned about the people who don’t.

Your boss will only come to check on you when you are doing something stupid.

When you hear a low-flying airplane, do not gasp and rush to the windows to look for it. This is largely regarded as Unprofessional.

Always pack more food than you think you’ll eat.

If you stay too late in the evening, you will hear faint whimpers in the distance. This is the microwave in the break room. Do not go to check on it.

Throwing a stress ball over the walls of the cubicles counts as team building.

It is perfectly acceptable to sit at your desk wrapped in a blanket eating Cheez Its. It is not acceptable to offer Cheez Its to the IT person who comes to set up your programming software.

You may bond with your coworkers by offering them Cheez Its.

Even though you work for 8 hours and sleep for 8, there are not 8 hours left at the end of the day. Nobody knows where those hours went. Just go with it.

Every office has a Janet. If yours does not have one, you aren’t looking hard enough.

Do not attempt to guess at the unspeakable horrors which have befallen the microwave in the break room. It is always worse than you think.
