parents are so shit at recognizing the symptoms of autism like. i didn't speak until i was two years old. babies start babbling around 6 months and say their first real word around 9 to 12 months. how on earth did they think that was normal

So the other day I was talking to one of my partners and I got the idea to write a religious body horror story about a trans woman being chosen by a god to carry their divine child (Think holy spirit and the virgin Mary).

I'm thinking of just posting drafts and ideas here. Would anyone be interested in reading it if I go through with it? 👀

what does (msn) mean for autism?

“Level 1 - Level 2 - Level 3” in the DSM.

(LSN) Low-Support needs, (MSN) Middle-Support needs, (HSN) High-support needs.

I was in special ed my entire life, as well as discovering (others) I was autistic was very early on (Kindergarten). I’ve always needed extra support specific to my autism, more than LSN autistics need (which is not to say they do not need support — all autistics need some type of support, this is just to help others know how much).

MSN, means that I need substantial help in my day-to-day life to be able to stay alive and functioning. I need a daily caregiver, someone to help me bathe, clothe, food, clean, etc. I wasn’t able to work, go to school myself without some type of accommodations and help from an “aid” or caregiver. I would never have been able to live alone even if I wasn’t physically disabled, because I was always mentally disabled (Autistic).

I just happen to have become physically disabled as well. My old therapist said that Autistic individuals have a higher chance of developing auto-immune disorders and disabilities due to the way the brain and body are connected and work. Especially if that coincides with severe and ongoing trauma, which causes the nervous system to “break down” and immune system to become, well… less immune.

I hope this makes sense, I spent like, 45 minutes writing this to make sure it sounded right.

As an autistic intersex person I can't help but see the similarities between the way perisex trans people talk about intersex people and the way late diagnosed autistic people talk about early diagnosed autistic people

Example:

Perisex trans people: You had an easy time getting on HRT and I was denied it so you're privileged

Intersex person: Actually I was forced on HRT against my will to make me conform with the sex binary. I did not want it and it was traumatic.

Perisex trans people: PRIVILEGE

vs

Late diagnosed autistic people: You got a diagnosis early and I didn't so you're privileged

Early diagnosed autistic person: Actually I was forcefully diagnosed against my will to make me conform to a more neurotypical idea of "correct behavior". I did not want it and it was traumatic.

Late diagnosed autistic people: PRIVILEGE
