A non-exhaustive list of the ways autistic people may show empathy even though we are assumed to not have it.

Are these exclusive to autistic people? No, not at all, we’re just more often pathologized for them.

If I’m in a relationship with someone who does this, does that mean I just have to suck it up even if it doesn’t work for me? No, it doesn’t, but you do probably have some adjusting to do. You’ll need to treat it as a mutual miscommunication instead of something it’s all on the autistic (or ADHD, or whatever) person to fix. You’ll have to change some of your expectations and get comfortable asking for (and explaining) the show of empathy you need - and you may even find out that the way you show empathy isn’t working so great for them either. 😉

[Image description: AUTISTIC EMPATHY CAN LOOK LIKE… - Infographic by Autball.

White translucent boxes with black lettering inside on a magenta to purple diagonal gradient. The first four boxes read: (1) I’ve been through something similar, so maybe sharing my story will help; (2) Ooh, I know how to fix that! Maybe helping them solve their problem will make them feel better; (3) Oh man, now I have big feelings too! I just feel this so much!; (4) My favorite thing always calms me down, so maybe it’ll help them too. I’ll ask them to do it with me. These four are grouped together with a blue line and labeled: Misinterpreted as “Making it All About You.”

The next four boxes read: (5) I’m not sure how to help, so I’ll leave it to that person who looks like they do; (6) When I’m upset or overwhelmed, I prefer to be left alone, so I’ll bet they would like the same; (7) If I get involved, I’m gonna become overwhelmed myself, and that will take attention from them, so it’s best to just stay out of it; (8) I’m not sure how to help, and I usually make it worse when I try but get it wrong, so it’ll be better for everyone if I just do nothing. These four are grouped together with a blue line and labeled: Misinterpreted as Cold and Uncaring.

At the bottom is one last sentence, in white bold lettering, that reads, “Just because we don’t show it the same doesn’t mean we don’t feel it.”]

This hack will save your teeth: there are no “right” and “wrong” times to brush your teeth.

sending love to all fat people struggling with gender stuff, to those whose dysphoria is worsened by gendered views of weight and body type, to those who are denied transition related medical care bc of their weight, to those who feel alienated even in lgbt and gnc spaces, to those who struggle to find gender affirming clothing designed to fit them, to those who feel they need to work twice as hard to have their identities respected. you deserve better. you’re lovely and deserving of respect and autonomy just as you are.

How I Clean My Room

(even when its a disaster - the neurodivergent guide)

I call this method the Colour Wheel Clean-up Method

1. make your bed. < no matter how messy the room is, making your bed will make it feel less overwhelming.

2. pick your colour palette and play some bangers 🎶. <count how many colours you have in your bedroom and make a little list of them. (my bedroom is full rainbow explosion)

3. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white is my list.

4. begin with your first colour, only put away and straighten things from that colour.

5. TAKE BREAKS BUT COME BACK!! seriously, about 8 minutes is a long enough break, have a snack, some water, breathe and get your butt back to it! you can do it. :)

6. keep going with each colour! if you've gone through every colour and there's still more, start at your first colour again!

🌱 Remember that you are not a bad person for having a messy or disorganized space. sometimes tasks can be overwhelming, or the world can be overwhelming. (I feel ya, trust me.)

the important part is that you found this post.

you ready to give it a try?

🍓 if you're comfortable, share a before and after photo if you try out this method and let me know if it worked for you!

I'll be updating this post with my after photo soon. (I have no shame, and neither should you. this is a real, and safe place :)

Sending all the love and support to fat chronically ill people who are told that all their health problems would disappear if they just lost weight. Sending all the love and support to fat people with physical disabilities who are told they wouldn't be disabled if they just lost weight. Sending all the love and support to fat people with any illness or physical disability who has been pushed to try diet and exercise regimens that are not safe for their health condition, and who are judged for not taking this advice.

ESPECIALLY sending love and support to fat people who have been given conflicting or dangerous information from the medical professionals who are supposed to be supporting them.
