"How can you hate loud noises yet have your headphones on a high volume?"
Because I can control the volume of my headphones and choose what I want to listen to, but I cannot control the volume of external noises nor choose to just turn them off

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

people will claim to support those without empathy but will then get pissed off with you when you don’t understand how they feel or how to help them, when you do something without realising that it might make them feel bad, when you have to ask them what they need you to say/do in the moment, etc.
people claim they support those without empathy until it’s an inconvenience to them and their feelings.

i don't understand people at all and im sick of trying to tbh
interacting with people is too hard they either don't understand me or i don't understand them
i don't even feel human honestly
wish i could just hang out with cats forever and not have to talk to humans

Or the opposite. Something devastating happened to you in your pov but when you tell other people, they just don’t get it.
“Yeah, my first memory of throwing up was when I was 6 years old and it scarred me for life.”
“Tf do you mean, nobody likes throwing up.”
And then if you’re lucky, you get a whole lecture after that which makes you want to throw them in a woodchipper.
Autistic trauma is so devastating and yet so corny. You'll be doing everything perfectly normal in public but someone will sneer at you and you'll spend an hour agonizing over yourself like "fuck what if no one told me it was Don't Wear Yellow Thursday"

dear autistics who
white
low support needs
not need 24/7 support
can work independently
can pay taxes
language privileged
intellectual & cognitive privileged
who can fit in societal definition of useful & productive (yes, even if hard)
when fight back against eugenics & ableism, you NEED to fight alongside, fight with, n fight for autistics who
radicalized & POC
from places of world where there critically lack autism knowledge n support
visibly autistic
higher support needs
need 24/7 care
can’t work independently or even work at all
can’t pay taxes
nonverbal, nonspeaking, minimally verbal, without functional communication, or cannot communicate via language at all even AAC
w intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities
who cannot fit into society definition of useful n productive, no matter how hard we try
because we always are & always will be primary target.
because we most vulnerable most marginalized within our, OUR community, which you belong in.
because once they finish us off you won’t be spared.

[Image Description: two screenshots from an article on Medium by Devon Price titled “How Society Forces Autistics to Become Inhibited and Passive” (link provided after the description).
Screenshot 1 reads: Growing up, many Autistic girls are described by psychiatrists as more socially engaged and emotionally expressive than Autistic boys, but they are still at an increased risk of bullying, loneliness, and depression. Autistic girls also experience greater social anxiety and lower self-esteem than their male Autistic peers. They're forced to feign "normal" social behavior to a higher degree, and that takes a severe psychological toll.
As they grow older, Autistic girls run the risk of being abused by romantic partners, or of not knowing how to maintain healthy boundaries in any relationships, because their supposedly higher "social skills" are often just an elaborate system of appeasement and agreeableness.
Screenshot 2 reads: I know dozens of masked Autistic people who adopted a "teacher's pet" or "best little boy in the world" personality from a young age, and who are still paying the price of having done so to this day. [start highlight] You can't have a balanced or healthy relationship with someone else if your primary motivation is convincing them at all times that you're worthy and good.
Growing up, I was deeply invested in adults praising me for being "mature" and "wise." It was the perfect counter to the shameful childishness I believed I possessed. English teachers in particular adored me because I had a massive vocabulary and could express myself well. [end highlight] I couldn't actually converse with my peers, of course, but I could write a hell of an essay, or deliver speeches that won awards. / End Image Description]

I hate apples. I hate touching them, smelling them, seeing them, and (since getting hearing aids) hearing them.

crippling adhd mf yaps about zayne uber autism
me im mf
anyways here are what I think might be his special neurodivergent signs kfjhdasjfkhs i love my little guy my pretty princess
Biggest Special Interest: Anatomy! You might be thinking he just talks like that because he's a doctor, but if you look closely a lot of the stuff he says ingame with all the long fancy names etc could be explained much more simply and it wouldn't deprive mc of any health information. Zayne simply finds joy in yapping about his interests with his favorite words!!! And me too bro. Me too.
Favorite Safe Food: Desserts (duh). He's going to the hospital? Desserts on the way back. Desserts here desserts there desserts everywhere. His hamster eyes go all wide and autistic whenever you mention dessert around him I mean come ON. He IS the diagnosis atp
Severe Rejection Sensitivity: Accidentally injured MC as a CHILD, got a complex from it for the rest of his life. False accusations of malpractice? He believes he's a murderer now. My SHAYLA.
The Monotone Voice: I have a shit ton of autistic friends and when i tell you this man has THE autism inflection in his tone, just like rafayel has THE adhd inflection ever.
The Eye Contact: He's usually talking to us and we're like crazy close obvi, so I assume that's why we don't see him struggle with eye contact a lot, but notice how in one of the few times he talks to anyone else (meeting your family) his eyes are actually fucking DARTING EVERYWHERE BUT THE CAMERA.
Anyways I KNOW his ass is hyperlexic like me bro just look at him go
"alleviate some discomfort" "exacerbate your menstrual cramps" babe i love you but was this necessary it's giving me saying "I need to use the lavatory" on an average tuesday
I could find more evidence if I have to this man is not even just autism coded he is the damn autism
