question for autistic people (from a self-diagnosed autistic person)

do you find the term "autist" offensive? i saw it online a while ago and i find it funny, i've used it to refer to myself more than once, but i'm pretty sure it's origins are derogatory?? and i never see it get brought up in the "autistic person vs person with autism" debate so idrk

My ESSA ;

Photodump + Drawing of him in plushie style & realistic style.

Fish carries my communication cards, a fidget toy, and sports two very fashionable pins, as well as his harness (we do not have a proper vest for it) and a beaded muzzle + dainty necklace collar.

I've had Fish for a very long time now, but we've been relying on it more recently so he's been showed a little extra love lately! So why not show him off!

Ich dachte, ich könnte so sein, wie sie es vorschlugen, denn sicher war es zu meinem Besten. (Wie könnte aus nicht so sein?)

Ich spürte, daß etwas nicht stimmte. Wie konnte immer ich die sein, die ihnen Unbequemlichkeiten verursachte und doch hielten sie an mir fest? (Wie konnte das sein?)

Ich dachte mehr, und mehr, und spürte mich weniger, und mehr (so viel Schmerz).

Von anderen Einhörnern hatte ich gehört und jedes Mal spürte ich eine Verbundenheit, eine Ruhe, die ich nicht mehr abtat. Es gab nie nur ein Einhorn. Solche Geschichten erzählen sie sich, um ihre Angst vor Unbequemlichkeiten zu mindern. (Nicht aber die Möglichkeit, denn Einhörner sind echt)

Seither taste ich mich immer wieder liebevoll ab und spüre, daß ich eines bin. Und welcher Aufgabe ich mich als nächstes stelle.

I just grew more and more wretched and weary. It felt as if the amount of energy I had been allocated and that was meant to last for eighty years was running out. As if you were born with a lifetime's energy and I had already used mine by the time I was twenty-five.

Laios and Falin are so autism :00

I love them they're mine now

Falin wears socks only. Only socks. No shoes. No bare feet. Only socks.

Laios only wears boots and ankle socks(yes i am projecting)

Falin only wears soft loose clothes

Laios can wear most textures but they all have to be the same

Falin learns sign language for when she's nonverbal

Laios writes anything he has to say down when he's nonverbal

Falin uses a headband/soft material to cover her ears & muffle sounds

Laios uses heavy duty headphones/earbuds

Falin stims so much in bodies of water & with nature (water play, textures like grass & flower petals, sensory play involving the flavor & texture of berries, etc)

Laios finds ways to add different textures into the inner walls of his armor(sanding it smooth, carving/hammering textures in, etc)

They both wildly full body stim("shake it out", dancing, practicing fighting maneuvers, etc)

They both have special interests in monsters & dungeons(duhhhh)

They will both lay full bodied on top of each other for compression & just do their own things while they do

Laios plays with Falin's hair as a stim

Falin fiddles with Laios' hands as a stim

Your honor I love them.

So I missed World Autism Awareness Day by a week, but what the heck, shout-out to everyone who has treated me like a broken lazy waste-of-space too-needy too-sensitive freak throughout my entire life. Shout-out to everyone who has left, and to the ones who will leave when they decide I'm too much. Or not enough. Shout-out to everyone who has an opinion on how I need to fix myself before I can be loved. Fuck y'all, you were wrong. I'm just fucking autistic, and contrary to how y'all have made me feel about myself, that's OK.

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]

I'm reading a sci-fi story from the 1950s about a girl who's an alien but doesn't know it because her real parents died when she was an infant, and so far it's a very accurate description of childhood as an autistic girl.

All my character's are autistic now. It's been decided.

Low key just want to start adding a little disclaimer to all my fics on AO3 that all my characters are, on some level, autistic & ADHD, bc I'M autistic & have ADHD, and I have no fucking idea how NT's think or why they do what they do so I don't think I could ever accurately write a NT character.
