I love that literally you can present two autistic people with the same thing, and one will be, like, "I love this thing because I'm autistic." and the other will be, like, "I hate this thing because I'm autistic." and both of them are correct to attribute their feelings to autism because being autistic is just like that

Autistic people are like, “yeah I love following rules” and then proceed to rip apart the gender binary

An amazing friend of mine drew this for me for when I come out on social media. Posted it Friday with a surprising about of support from family, minus my parents (which is fine and expected). Thank you Angel for being a part of my coming out 🥰🥰🥰

For trans activism to move forward you have GOT to learn to accept that not everybody who uses She/Her pronouns is going to be some short, white, skinny, passing person.

You’ve got to accept that there are tall, hairy, and fat trans women who “havent done anything” and still deserve to be fucking gendered correctly.

I’m sorry you had to hear this from me, but not everybody is going to appeal to your UwU soft trans catgirl sensibilities.

“You don’t look autistic!”

Can everyone please stop saying things like this? Just because we don’t show traits around certain people doesn’t mean that we’re faking/don’t have the disorder. I had to learn to the best of my ability to be, what society says, is normal. And not be so “weird”. It’s harder than people think. And it really drains you too.

Autism

I absolutely despised jeans, socks, and underwear when I was a child. I rocked back and forth in the car from ages like 4-10. I had frequent outbursts of anger which usually resulted in a meltdown

undiagnosed or late-diagnosed autistics, time to reveal yourselves. what is one memory from your childhood or pre-teen years that should have suggested to people that you might have autism, but didn’t. 

for me, i made my mom sing me a lullaby every night until i was 12, because i didn’t like the idea of my nightly routine ever changing. if she didn’t sing me one, i would get out of bed, go get her from wherever she was in the house, bring her to my room, and make her tuck me in and sing one to me. i wasn’t able to fall asleep until she did.

i just need to see more black trans people. black trans men, black trans women, black nonbinary and genderqueer people, black transmascs, black transfems, black queers... all of them.

i just need more black trans visibility and positivity and inclusivity and celebration.

its starting to feel like people like me dont exist...

autistic people are allowed to fit autism stereotypes

i take things literally. i don’t get a lot of neurotypical humor and often feel left out of the joke or even feel like i’m the joke sometimes. i’m gullible. there’s no way to sugarcoat it or put it more nicely, i’m just gullible. i don’t always know what’s satire. i’m socially awkward and have a hard time befriending or remaining friends with anybody who isn’t like me.

much of the autism community puts so much emphasis on “all autistic people aren’t x” and not enough on “who cares if we’re x, we deserve rights”

this goes doubly for ID and nonspeaking autistics btw i just can’t speak to that experience personally
