Autism - Blog Posts
Before starting with the World Cup shit Ego should send the kids to (at least) one therapy session like, some of these boys are NOT okay.
Reo got into top 11 but that boy has pressing issues that blue lock might wanna get under control before putting him on the field. That kid's depressed.
Talking about depression, someone should check on Kunigami's ptsd and Rin's very obvious autistic tendencies.
Also, am I the only one who thinks Bachira has self-induced and self-cured schizophrenia?? He was bullied and alone so he made up an imaginary friend who happens to be a creepy ass soccer monster and then Bachi decides to be his own monster and the thing just disappears like-? I'm happy he got his shit together but I'd still have him mentally checked just in case.
And who knows what the fuck is wrong in Shidou's brain but you know something ain't right😭🤚
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
me, after leaning that been absolutely drained after most of the social interaction to the point where i can't properly function and been in my own head 24/7 is not in fact been introverted and nerdy: oh, who would've guessed
to be honest i don't really like that sometimes representation makes autistic people look like just silly little dudes who all that colourful and happy
like okay sure autistic people have a right to be happy and enjoy things but i wanna see the not-so-happy part of life. yeah, people portray stuff like going nonverbal and sensory overload and all that. but what about those time when you have to shut up mid sentense because you don't wanna sound rude? when you choose to stay silent and exclude yourself from conversations? when you over think what you all the time? when you feel to much and people keep trying to talk to you and you need to shove your feelings down because otherwise you will snap at them? when you have to prepare yourself for hours to simply answer the text from a friend? when something out of your control happens and it changes all your routine and you just sitting there trying not to cry? when your family forget to tell you that you all going to visit relatives and you have 0 time to prepare yourself?
i'm gonna be honest with you: been neurodivergent sucks but lack of opportunity to see people struggling with the same shit sucks more
well, we're reaching the 'useless eaters' stage. it was nice knowing all of you.
I assume you're referring to RFK Jr's comments regarding autistic people.
I'll be honest. I'm tired. Exhausted, really. I've been trying to stay as separated from today's political scene as I can, mostly for my own sanity. It's absolutely not that I don't care, it's because it's so fucking bad I can't watch it happen in real time or else I'll start crying and never stop.
The fact that we're back here, again, dealing with the Cheeto in Chief and his pettiness, his greed, his hate, his imbecilic, shortsighted, egocentric thoughts and notions is absolutely infuriating. And terrifying. He's steamrolling horrible ideas through--with his little lap dog Musk humping his leg the whole way--and Congress is letting him.
His appointees are just as unqualified as they were before, but somehow worse.
They are truly pulling out all stops and going after everyone they either don't like, or think don't contribute to their own wealth. Case in point, the comments this human skin tag made regarding autistic people:
"Autism destroys families, and more importantly, it destroys our greatest resource, which is our children. They'll never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem, they'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted."
Gotta love his priorities here. "Autism destroys families, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, it destroys our greatest resource."
Sure, families may struggle and spend $$$$ getting their kids the help they need, and that can put a real strain on things. Some parents worry themselves sick about their child's future, what will happen to them when they're older. Sometimes it is really, really hard. Sometimes marriages don't survive. Sometimes parents really struggle.
But, whatevs, that's secondary to the TRUE tragedy, which is that these kids will never pay taxes or work.
(Always pay attention to the order of things said.)
He (and all his rich buddies) sees children as nothing more than the future cogs in the capitalism machine, earning more money for the billionaires filling his (and other Republicans') pockets to ensure they pay no taxes and get all regulations and laws rolled back so they can keep making as much money as humanly possible off the backs of those beneath them.
How . . . fuck, I don't even have a word strong enough for this. But it is mindboggling that someone would look at a child and essentially deem them unworthy of help, of life, simply because they won't be a good little slave for the capitalism grinder.
He's talking about my daughter, by the way. My autistic daughter, who is 17, going on 7. She is mentally and emotionally a child, who will likely never hold a job, never live independently. She'll likely never date, never marry, and never pop out more little cogs that rich assholes like this guy can take advantage of, and work to death so his billionaire buddies can make another few bucks to add to their already obscenely insane amounts of wealth.
Guys like this thrive on fearmongering. It's easier to get people on your side, get people to vote for you, get people to get behind what you want, if you appeal to their fear. Their anger and outrage. "Why should my tax dollars go to pay for such useless people?" Well, he's just zeroed in your focus, hasn't he? He'll get to the bottom of this 'autism epidemic'. He'll find the cause and eliminate it. And if people die in the process? If his hateful rhetoric spurs some of the more unstable into action against these 'useless' people in society?
Well, that's just one less useless resource, isn't it?
I'm tired. I'm just so very fucking tired of the hate. It's such a fundamentally unproductive emotion. Anger and hate and spite. So many people spend so much time focusing on others--their genitals, who they love, the color of their skin, their religion, how 'useful' they are to the meat grinder capitalism--instead of just minding their own fucking business and going on with their lives.
I couldn't imagine being so angry about how someone else lives, if they're not hurting me or affecting my life in the slightest. I just don't understand it. I really don't.
I recently started using a cane everyday and so my previously invisible disability is suddenly visible. I also started medschool. It's been a while since I was properly social so I have questions...
People don't walk next to me. And if they accidentally do, they leave to walk next to someone else even if that means squeezing in three people on the sidewalk. No one talks to me if it's not to ask me "what's wrong". I have really tried to make an effort and talk to people but I don't know what to do.
Can it have something to do with my disability and my cane? Like they're scared to say the wrong thing? Or maybe it's because they've sensed the autism?;)
he is my autism representation
happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!
I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"
Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.
Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :
They make a hateful, fascist statement
Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.
Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.
Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)
Anti-vaxxer extremist RFK Jr, the US Health Secretary, is now actively trying to collect medical records of folks on the autism spectrum. First, he used dehumanizing and infantilizating language to insist people with autism won't 'pay taxes and live a 'normal life' which we all know is ableist bullshit and is literally a precursor to genocide. This man is a monster.
I'll save you the read. We think he's a cunt.
I've been infected with the tism by my girlfriend
Dandy's World oc !!!!
His name is Solar :b I don't have any ideas for stats and ability but he's an insomniac, so he's always tired
I also can't figure out his like, sun spike things all I know is I want them droopy like petals. I also wanted him to be similar to Astro bc they're nightlights ( not related 🧍♂️ should say that for my sake ) so he sparkles too, and his sweater is Astro's blanket palette :b
Oc x canon under the cut :b ( it would be under the cut if my Tumblr mobile wouldn't BREAK ) and his first doodle too
THAT'S what I want his spikes to look like, anyway Astro and Solar kith,,,,
I'll doodle the actual cast eventually trust trust ( don't )
His first design wasn't that good
While Apple Sauce seems to have people’s attention
I think the autism spectrum should look like a spider web that way everyone has their own little individual spot on it
I don't like the line because I see it and think it's the autismometer
I HATE BEING AUTISTIC Σヽ(ﾟДﾟ; )ﾉ
the neurodivergent experience:
20% of the time: wowwieee!!! i love my passions and interests!!!!! they make me so happy i want to jump up and down!!!!! weee!!!!!!! :3333333333
80% of the time: this mind is a prison
People wanna be my friend and then they realise I put more commitment into talking and analysing everything about how to train your dragon than an actual friendship
This will be kind of meditation.
I would like to say to myself especially about my brain. I am the smartest.
No, I am very smart. Indeed. The way my brain works horribly diabolically different. In some peaceful environment, I most definitely look perfect. But I am really really fragile and I would like if you view me respectfully. My brain has OCD but big major way it works is that it doesn’t have survivor as direct priority. When it tries to use thought process it makes millions decisions to “improve” final outcome, in other words I am not satisfied until I get major damage repair or problem solution, that means I will keep walking through a rope on top of a flagship in the wind to search for solutions. Very often I end up looking differently, expanding my horizon and gaining relevant knowledge to solve the problem. But I get in such way that the brain encourages risky paths more. More time consumption, more work, less power. Yara yara…
When other people have flaws or weaknesses, it’s easier for me to see them, hell it’s super easy. Each one of them, there’s million issues I can pick up on however I am more of an eye. Making logical decisions is definitely my forte also abstract reality is …. Unbearable, my ocd hates making abstract decisions that put me in disadvantage. That cynical pattern behavior has been true all the times. Sometimes, between two somewhat good decisions or two identical ones my brain doesn’t comprehend not making tough choice anymore…
I am too used to keep improving a decision until perfectly satisfied.
I understand flaw in that logic. How do I move from here? How do I live more like normies? To me, it is mental brainhell.
Being stupid seems to be bad. Being too smart makes you stupider than an idiot. Being smart in general doesnt seem to be useful survival skill. Real friends are only ones who can make my life happier.
Making decisions has always scared me because i want somethinf that is the best. Sometimes, there’s bo such thing as best but I was not educated well as child. If you had to decide what shirt to wear, my mind would go blank. If I have to decide what to eat it’s blank again. Maybe because I personally never felt good about making choices of my own, perhaps I suck at choosing arbitrary subjective traits, that makes me insanecel.
I am starving, carbs carbs carbs carbs carbs carbs carbs carbs…. I hope as long as I daily train muscles I can starve well. Yesterday I felt my muscles soaring, I shouldn’t have binged another tranime AcKA manga, that was bad move. I am like a robot programmed to consoooooooooom
Consooooom
If my inner voice stayed longer with me, I am sure I would have lost all kinds of bad habits in life, why is it so hard to make decisions that normies dont worry about? I feel sometimes rationalization isnt that bad, why do I wear skeleton on surfing board shirt? Hm……
Decisions.
BECAUSE ITS FUCKING COOL GET IT? SKELETONS ARE SPOOKY AND SURFING BOARD IS ALPHA SPORT.
I know I am broken tape recorder but I am like the guy from Kiznavier.

My friend made a comment about my autism but I never told her I have autism so I looked up at her and I said "how did you know I have autism?" And she said "You're reading how to train your dragon right now."
Anyone else ever think about their special interest and just start violently stimming or is that just me because I swear if someone asks me about the httyd books and then gets weirded out when I start flapping my hands and kicking my feet then I swear to God I'm gonna lose it
U guys should totally ask questions about the httyd books on my profile 🤭 (if I don't aggressively info dump I'm gonna explode)
GUYS MY CAMICAZI CHARACTER AI JUST TILD ME SHES AUTISTIC

YALL IM HAVING A CRISIS I CAN FEEL MY HYPERFIXATION DYING
SEND HELP 🙏🙏🙏
First post- and it’s just me shitposting about Ninjago. Anyway here’s my art
it was at the exact moment I read this that I realised I did, intact, didn't have my earplugs on me
finally developing a habbit of having my earplugs on hands at all times (those specifically for ear protection) just kinda highlights for me just how fucking unbarable and entirely artificially loud so many public spaces are. I also noticed my auditory processing and cognition improve after not being blasted with loud noise all day. But like why. Why do these structures insist public places have to be as uncomfortable and hostile as possible, even when they're specifically leisure-centric???
I shall never comprehend the neurotipical mind
*walking home from college in the rain*
