wait I'm curious

I feel like this is a common enough experience but I don't know how much

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

Alright, folks.

I know that some of you are heading off to college.

And you’re nervous.

So let me answer one question that you’re all thinking about and spare you some awkwardness and embarrassment:

You do not need to ask to use the bathroom in college.

You do not need to ask to use the bathroom in college.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK TO USE THE BATHROOM IN COLLEGE.

That is all.

Autism acceptance includes accepting all autistic manners of communication.

That means supporting autistic people who talk in a "very childish" way. (I do this a lot irl)

Autistic people who do "TV talking" (this means talking like a character from your favorite media,basically talking in quotes and copying their speech patterns,as far as I know)

Autistic people who use echolia.

Autistic people who are very awkward/quirky when they communicate.

Autistic people who are overly technical,or have very sophisticated and articulate speech.

Autistic people who mumble.

Autistic people who talk really fast.

Autistic people who can't control their tone of voice/inflection.

Autistic people who talk in a monotone voice.

Autistic people who use different kind of sounds,or body language to communicate.

Autistic people who talk slowly and draw out their syllables.

Autistic people who use a lot of sentance fillers.

Autistic people who use Aac devices,communication cards,etc etc.

is there a word for the non-autistic version of a special interest? I feel like I have things I'm obsessed with in a similar manner but I'm not autistic and not sure if it would be rude/disrespectful to call my own loves special interests if it's specifically an autistic thing

Complex teasing /negative

When most people think of bullying or teasing they think of plain insults or physical harm. These can be hard to interpret independently, but what about fake-kindness? If you've ever had somebody you've never talked to (or who has been mean to you in the past) come up to you and start being abnormally nice to you, you could have experienced this. To clarify, this would be a situation where somebody is kind to mock you. Like it would be funny if somebody would enjoy your company.

I personally don’t have much experience, viewers please respond

orginial idea post: link

Not only autistics can send asks and not only autistics can answer, -but please keep in mind that this is a place specifically built for autistics!-

guidelines for asks:

script for an example if you need one: greeting, give a nickname or ask to stay anonymus, explain anything you feel is relevant to the situation, ask a question about what part of it meant. you can also request that your ask be responded to in simpler words and shorter sentences.

DO NOT: send asks about send asks about nsfw etiquette between partners, asks that are only for the purpose of asking who is right in a situation, make fun of the mods or other askers (constructive critism is allowed),

DNI: aspergers supremecists, pro autism speaks, pedofiles, anti- any part of the lgbtqia+ community, standard bigotry including racism, sexism, anti-semitism, islamaphobia, ect.

NSFW blogs may interact but please do not share such content here.
