seems to me that the gripes that ppl have with love on the spectrum and reasons for calling it ableist or infantilising are just.... reality tv show things. Like, the simple lighthearted language of the narrator? The music? The 'likes and dislikes' to introduce someone? The overly positive tones? The exaggeration of ppls quirkiness? THATS JUST TYPICAL FEELGOOD NO THOUGHTS HEAD EMPTY REALITY TV SHOW STUFF

I've been rly depressed and binge watched alot of this kinda escapism brainrot content and trust me, it's all like this. Do I still have mixed feelings about some of the things on this show? yea. I don't think it's perfect or super great. But it's also not the problematic ableist hellsite that some (mostly low support needs) autistics make it out to be.

idk just my own take on this appearantly controversial topic but ye.

Also also

seems that some ppl want their own opinion to hold so much more weight than the voices of the actual ppl involved in the show. like they've mostly all come out and said it was great and didn't feel ableist to them at all. so like. feels like you guys are actually speaking over autistics experiences and that feels a bit more ableist and infantilising to me than anything else at this point

CW: Rant - Being Neurodivergent

Sometimes I feel like it is difficult to exist in communities, especially online ones, as a neurodivergent person

I so badly want community, I want friends and acquaintances, people who know my name

I try to fit in, copy other people's behavior, listen

But I fail, every time, I make a mistake and suddenly I feel hated, ostracized, and punished

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I feel like I try so hard just to end up failing again and again

I want to fit in, I want to be liked, but I'm just bad at it

wondering about if my insecurities about fashion and style, being 'queer enough' stem from incongruity between who I am and where I came from? Who I perceive myself to be and how everyone individually perceives me differently also. I wonder why I feel more dysphoric when confronted with this idea or visual of the 'ideal' way to be trans/queer/leftist.....

if i had only a tiny sip of alcoholic beverage for every article, video, post or whatever that automatically assumes that toxic or abusive parents are narcissists. Id be so fucking drunk. I'd actually die from alcohol poisoning.

ITS SO UNPROFESSIONAL AND JUST BLATANTLY MISINFORMATION??

I fuckin promise you that my parents do not have narcissitic personality disorder. they are just cunts.

Disabled Trans Lesbian Needs Help to Afford Wheelchair + Other Medical Supplies !!!

Hi, I am a multiply-disabled human in need of help. My disabilities include FND, POTS, Arthritis, Unspecified Joint Hyper-mobility, c-PTSD+ , and Autism. On top of that I also have Endometriosis, Chronic Fatigue, and Generalized Chronic Pain.

Prior to August 2024 I was working a part time job as a sales associate, which required me to be on my feet and interacting with the general public for 3-7 hours a day depending on how many hours I was scheduled.

I am lucky enough that I get my meds for free, live with my fiancee, who has a job, and receive SNAP for food, but $298 of ebt for a month doesnt go very far and $500 a week doesnt either when you have rent + utilities + car insurance + phone / internet bills and cats to feed.

Since practically every single cent of each week's check gets used for bills, cat food, or set aside for rent, this unfortunately leaves us with no money to put aside for my medical needs (for some reason we keeping having problems pop up).

I have frequent seizures (at least 1x a day, 4+ days a week, every week), tic attacks, and periods of limb weakness or numbness/heaviness, and worsening chronic pain + arthritis, etc. which has me virtually bed-bound until my fiancee is home from work. These things also make it very hard for me to maintain personal hygiene and household cleanliness, as well as making it hard to leave the house to do things such as shopping, laundry, etc.

Currently, I use a cane daily, I cannot stand to shower nor can i sit in the bathtub to bathe and I am unable to wash myself so my fiancee has to do it for me, which leaves me showering once a week as I fight her about showering and usually do not have the energy to leave the bed, I am unable to brush my teeth without prompting, I need prompting and force to take my meds, etc. and when we go out all we have for masks is the basic blue surgical masks which are obvs not the best option :(

Unfortunately, since I cannot work a 'normal job' and it will take years for us to save to buy the necessary items, we have to resort to crowdfunding and selling small physical items (like kandi or crochet projects).

The things that we currently are trying to save for, with little success, are as follows:

Manual Wheelchair

Shower Chair

2x Flo Masks

2x Extra filters for the masks

All of these items will make it possible for me to move around easier, leave the house, and make caring for me easier on my fiancee.

For now, we have a gofundme set up (link), but I am also working on a Ko-fi Shop to sell kandi and crocheted items.

Remember: Any amount is helpful. Do not feel pressured into sending large amounts or any amount at all. Always take care of your needs first!

Hey all, I was forced to leave high school and my home behind in early 2023 as a minor due to severe transphobia and abuse from family. After escaping, I was taken in by someone who was essentially exploiting my situation.

Eventually I found safety with a QTPOC household who helped me secure longer term housing.

This fundraiser would help me afford things such as rent, food, medical expenses and gender affirming care.

I’m currently saving up for gender affirming surgery as well as a necessary dental procedure.

Please consider supporting or sharing if you’re able to, it truly makes a difference and would mean a lot to me!

(Please Reblog 🙏)

(Feel free to send a message with any questions.)

Note: I’m aware that there are sc@mmers out there. This is why I’m encouraging people to send me a message, or look at the Ko-Fi link which clearly shows that my support network is made up of real people.

I know this is a bit personal and not usually what I post but I just kinda need to get it out of my system.

 I have been dealing with nonstop, intense financial stress  for the last two years, essentially since getting my ASD diagnosis and losing my job (yes the two are connected, but I can’t do anything about it). I’ve gone into a complete regression of skills and haven’t been able to do any sort of work for at least a year.

Unfortunately, being on the NDIS doesn’t do shit. My rent has gone up again, and my parents already paying for more than half of it because I can’t afford it being just on government benefits. Which means that my mum can’t retire, even though she’s dealing with multiple chronic illnesses.

This is all basically just to say, if anyone knows of just even small basic things that I can do to try to earn some money it would be really appreciated to know. One thing that frustrates me so much is that I can’t draw for the life of me, But I can write. But unfortunately, because of how fucked up and nonsensical copyright laws are, people can make money off of art commissions of fandom, but writers can’t make commissions on fan work.

I’ve already tried selling a bunch of things, some with success, but at the moment my functioning is so low that anything that requires more than a few steps (i.e. taking photos of the item, writing up a description of the item, researching what is the best price to sell it for, posting it, replying to messages, etc.) is just too much for me.

This is probably just a call out into the void and I don’t think they’ll be much response, but I had to try.

this random but should be heard:

you are not and will never be a bad person for distancing yourself from someone who was destroying your mental health/making you want to relapse. no matter how hard they guilt trip you.
