Local autistic discovers that in order to speak a new language you have to learn it. Ten dead forty seven injured.

i cant remember when your birthday is, what i had for breakfast this morning, why i came to talk to you, any basic maths, or what i was doing two hours ago. however, i can name every character in this tv show i like, give a full run-down of a movie i watched ten years ago, and tell you ten obscure facts about my favourite character (number one will surprise you!!!!!!)

You’re telling me that Eddie “I don’t like this!” Munson wasn’t supposed to come across as autistic.. 😂

Dear Non-autistics:

If someone you know or love is having a meltdown, please do NOT

Tell us to "stop it"

Touch us without permission

Yell at us or talk over us

Ask for complicated tasks or answers

Leave us alone if it's obvious we're a danger to ourselves or others

Use restraints, either with your own body or with physical restraints

Panic

Shake us or manhandle us. We can hear you, we just can't respond well

Remember, we are not being a problem; we're having a problem!

So, things to do!

Do:

Make sure we're safe

Remove all stimuli including turning off lights if possible, giving stim toys, noise cancelling headphones etc

Remove us from the situation if possible

Talk softly and offer alternative forms of communication if possible

Sit with us if safe to do so

Offer a stuffed animal or comfort item

Set up a meltdown guide with us so everyone is on the same page

Understand we will be unable to do much post-meltdown. Water, snacks and quiet is required.

Reassurance helps. Guilt often sets in post-meltdown.

A period of inactivity (known as a shutdown) often occurs right after a meltdown. We won't respond or look at you, but we can hear you. Please let this happen naturally

Autistics please add on. What does and doesn't help you?

Here are some meltdown-causing feelings that I don’t typically see other neurodivergent people talk about.

Feeling hungry

Feeling cold

Feeling hot

Feeling tired

Feeling thirsty

• Fidgeting and stuttering do NOT always indicate that someone is nervous.

• Avoiding eye contact does NOT always mean someone is lying.

• Having a hard time focusing does NOT always mean someone is lazy.

• Carrying around a stuffed animal or blanket does NOT make someone childish.

• Poor motor skills is NOT a direct indication of intelligence.

Not everyone fits into your box. Deal with it.

Here's to the autistics who are "way too aggressive". Here's to the autistics who get angry easily. Here's to the autistics who are impulsive. Here's to the autistics who have destructive meltdowns. Here's to the autistics who's anger ruins friendships/relationships. Here's to the autistics who can't control their emotions. Here's to the autistics who are bitter and mad. I see you, I love you (platonically), and I hope you have a great day.

i feel really bad for saying this, but something i struggle with regarding my autism is trying to sound interested in other people's interests. i try so hard to seem interested because i know that feeling of being ignored when infodumping about your interests, but also, my own interests are so restricted that i cant get into/seem interested in anyone elses interests.

i cant get into things people recommend me, at all, no matter how hard i actually want to because it just feels like a demand. i also cant get into anything else even if i myself really want to get into it. especially if someone else's interests involve anything with real humans. cant watch anything thats live action, it needs to be animated and usually has to involve animals in some way.

thinking about the time i said to a couple people that i can't drive due to my autism, and one of them said something like "i don't have a choice bc my parents made me drive". that bothered me for a while, and continues to bother me. i don't have a choice either. if my life depended on me driving, i would die.

it feels to me like whenever i say "i can't do this because of my autism", allistics (or often times lower support needs autistics) assume that i have actually just decided not to do something, instead of understanding that i am physically incapable of doing it, even if my life depended on it, even if i desperately wanted to.

i wish allistics understood that an autistic person's limitations cannot be changed with motivation or different choices. sometimes it feels like other people have a harder time accepting my needs and limits. than i do myself.

please please please STOP weird out when autistics specially nonverbal semiverbal autistics cuss talk about nsfw topics etc

deserve talk about topics if old enough like any other peers

autistic cuss have sexual relationship (with consent) consume alcohol date etc etc etc

STOP INFANTILIZING US we humans too

[keroppipetshop]

Please stop infantlizing autistic people

Stop being weirded out when we cuss. Stop being weirded out when we talk about nsfw topics. Stop being weirded out when we are semiverbal or nonverbal.

We can smoke too, we can drink, vape, and cuss and do anything normal people can do. We can have (concented) sexual relationships. We can kiss people. We can have kinks. We can like BDSM or have fetishes. We are not innocent little kids.

Just because we have a disability doesn't mean we aren't people.

Just because we sometimes need to live with someone else doesn't mean we aren't people.

Just because we don't pick up on social clues doesn't mean we aren't people.

STOP INFANTILIZING US. STOP CALLING US INNOCENT. STOP THINKING YOU NEED TO PROTECT US. WE ARE REGULAR PEOPLE TOO.
