I unironically get the zoomies everytime joel and etho interact LMFAO
See, minecraft/mcyt is my special interest (cause autism) and I'm currently hyperfixating on hermitcraft, especially joel and etho (cause adhd)
So seeing joel and etho interact on hc....
My brain literally can't handle the dopamine rush i get when i see those two even MENTION each other. I need to pause the video and just run around my room like a feral animal. If i dont get rid of the excess energy i will simply explode into confetti.
LOOK WHAT I DREW :D

Autistic Traits which are interpreted Rude...
Neurodivergent_lou
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
I wonder if my personal outrage at fairies in so many different froms of media being made out to be perfect, pure, cute, and harmless rather than dangerous beings not of this realm is connected to me wanting neurotypicals to leave me alone (through fear or respect if necessary, I don't care) rather than treat me like I am a cute little child that cannot understand anything and never will.
Autistic folks like myself used to be perceived as like changelings and such after all.
Shoutout to these kettle cooked lays specifically litteraly the safest food imaginable
I’m looking for another AAC since Avaz went to shit. Any recommendations?
I am actually autistic, diagnosed with Asperger Syndrom and I dont celebrate Autism acceptance month or know what Red instead means, but I Like this
Every month is autism month for me!
[ID: A comic titled "April is Autism Acceptance Month!"
The narrator, a light skinned person with brown hair, says "You might see some places "lighting it up blue" or sharing puzzle piece imagery this month, but a lot of autistic people prefer to avoid that due to its association with Autism Speaks." Within the speech bubble is a blue puzzle piece with a red cross next to it. The narrator continues, "Autism Speaks sees autism as a disease that needs to be cured and eradicated, which it isn't. So to avoid that, we generally prefer RED instead!" The words "red instead" are shown on the narrator's shirt.
The narrator continues, "or the golden infinity symbol: (it's gold because au is the symbol for gold in the periodic table." There are illustrations of a gold infinity symbol and the periodic table symbol for gold, made to say "autism", next to the text.
Text continues "Not every autistic person celebrates autism acceptance month which is fine! It's optional :)
At the bottom, the narrator wears a red shirt with the gold infinity symbol on it and says "whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a lovely month." End ID]
Thank you @teatual for the description!
Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
HI GANG!!! So recently my autism has been getting really bad (lots of sensory issues and bad sleep and excessive stimming leading to pain) BUT I am in fact now recovering and will try to get back to doing stuffffff
But firstly I wanna say. I’m so angry at my brain /hj I got another comfort character. Cooking a new AU regarding her.
She is:
Suffering from chronic back pain
A disaster lesbian
Autistic, specifically the kind I have (lots of hyperfixations, stims and missing social cues)
Funky natural earth colours
Sobbing on the floor because she overshared
Nervous about being ignored
I’ve found a replica of me in fiction man 😔😔😔😔😔 but GTFO IM STILL WRITING DAT YOURE NOT ALLOWED HERE YET!!!!!
Next DAT fic is Buenas Noches and I’m still confused about chapter format and exactly how long it’ll be but as my wise friend @idiotsmart1 has said:
“Fuck it, we ball”
Mother and daughter, Uno and Isaiah (Uno is the one with choppy buzzcut)
(She/her for both)
I accidentally got back into my half life and Will Wood phase. Anyways here’s my persona! Dr. Esper!

2009 Spider-Noir side profile because I love drawing him and side profiles and I was going to prove a point and got distracted
Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue
fuck i absolutely should've added this tag in the original post
lowkey sometimes i think im only human in the way pets try to mock their owners and copy their mannerisms or in the way domesticated animals copy humans
listen, the ‘suggested communities’ better lower their voice
Yes. Some autistic people can pay taxes, write poems, live an independent life, etc.
But some of us cant. Some of us, like me, cant live independently. Cant be without someone. Cant be a member of society without extreme accommodation and help.
I need help in everyday life. I have a caregiver for gods sake. I need help in everyday life and will never be independent. It’s frustrating to constantly get comments about how autistic people can live independently. Cause some of us cant, and that needs to be talked about. I get sores from not showering enough. I get sores from my wheelchair. I have cavities from not brushing my teeth enough.
Life with higher support needs shouldn’t be something that is ignored and not talked about. My caregiver helps me live life as independently as possible. Independence looks different for everyone. Our caregivers are an extension of ourselves. Our caregivers are important and should be recognized. Stop throwing us under the bus for your “salvation”
We are all at risk, and throwing higher support needs people under the bus will not benefit you. You’re ruining years of advocacy by your words and videos.
I'm trying so hard because this is what me caring about people looks like
But it's insincere apparently.
I'm exhausted.
I have empathy I swear
But if you accused me of insincerity I don't know what I'd say
