HEYA SO I MADE A LIL FLAPPY HAND EMOJI AND I LIKE IT A LOT AND ITS FREE TO USE!! GO WILD BECAUSE I SURE AM

[autisticferb]

just remembered my Sudden Insight earlier about the "autism epidemic"

people generally say it's because "detection and diagnosis have gotten better!" but also consider: the world has just gotten more hostile and disabling to autistics

I'm just saying that I think the amount of stimuli the average kid has to process in one day has gone way up since, like, the 80's

My commissions are open again!!

Closed them temporarily for artfight, but now I'm back to asking to draw you some silly little pictures!!

I'm looking into getting top surgery soon, so every reblog is very appreciated ^^

[autisticferb]

The autistic child's urge to put toys in a line is directly related to the autistic adults urge to stock shelves. You pick up a thing and put it next to the other things and now the thing is over there. Fuck yeah.

I seriously don't get all the negative discourse around self diagnosing autism, especially as an adult. "Just go get diagnosed" ah yes, autistic people, famous for their ability to navigate medical bureaucracy without clear instructions, how easy for them to get a diagnosis! Why didn't they just think of that!!!

It’s okay to not be as good at things as neurotypicals. It’s okay to not accomplish as much as able-bodied people. It’s okay to have a harder time in school, relationships, personal projects, anything. You’re allowed to have more difficulty with things than neurotypical and able-bodied people do, you’re allowed to acknowledge that your illness, disorder, and/or disability does affect you.

please stop treating the word neurodivergent like it means the overlap between autism and adhd

I've set up a GoFundMe to help me eventually transition and go on HRT. If you can't donate, please share <3

The hard truth about autism acceptance that a lot of people don't want to hear is that autism acceptance also inherently requires acceptance of people who are just weird.

And yes, I mean Those TM people. Middle schoolers who growl and bark and naruto run in the halls. Thirtysomethings who live with their parents. Furries. Fourteen-year-olds who identify as stargender and use neopronouns. Picky eaters. Adults in fandoms. People who talk weird. People who dress weird.

Because autistic people shouldn't have to disclose a medical diagnosis to you to avoid being mocked and ostracized for stuff that, at absolute worst, is annoying. Ruthlessly deriding people for this stuff then tacking on a "oh, but it's okay if they're autistic" does absolutely nothing to help autistic people! Especially when undiagnosed autistic people exist.

Like it or not, if you want to be an ally to autistic people, you're going to have to take the L and leave eccentric, weird people alone. Even if you don't know them to be autistic. You shouldn't be looking for Acceptable Reasons to be mean to people in the first place. Being respectful should be the default.

hey, this isn't super urgent, but I thought I'd give it a shot- hi, i'm a transmasc artist who'd really like to start medically transitioning, and I'd appreciate any and all financial support you can spare!!

additionally, I have open commissions if you'd rather buy something instead;

if you can't donate, even just reblogging this would help. thanks in advance!

adhd culture is when someone very sweetly asks ‘whats your top 3 favorite (x)’ and you have to be like sorry one minute ik i wrote this one down in my notes app as you open a folder labelled ‘personality (minutiae)’
