#i still hate my autism

[natelia-aldelliz]

1 : Soap never had any idea that woman wanted him carnally, he's not the most observant on that front (he never noticed Ghost flirting with him and thought his love was one-sided for the longest time, but tbf Ghost was also very discreet about it)

2 : He sewed the hat, eyepatch and hook himself, because he's the best uncle and then got distracted as he was wrapping it up, so now he's watching a tutorial on youtube about how to build a voice box. Honestly how hard could it be, he builds explosive devices as a hobby (listen, Price doesn't have to know)

3 : He is out to his family, but doesn't want his mum to know he has a boyfriend because he knows she'll insist on meeting him and welcoming him to the family and making a big deal out of this, and he knows that Ghost isn't ready for that.

4 : Christmas is obviously a very hard time for Ghost, but he is very very in love with Soap and some days still can't believe that it's mutual, but then his Johnny does something like that and his head gets quieter while he's melting a bit.

5 : For the people that didn't see my other post : the bird is a Caique parrot, and they're supposedly very energetic, a bit loud, medium sized, unintelligible, very friendly to what they consider their family, adventurous and danger prone, with an explosive personality and a hate of boredom, so basically the adhd bird.

corvin

[id: two digital drawings of corvus from the video game paladins. he is a pale-skinned young man wearing a red and black caped coat with the collar pulled up over his mouth, and has brown hair with a white streak. the first image is a portrait of him from the shoulders up alongside a full-body drawing. text beside it reads 'guy who really needs to stim but isnt letting himself so hes just standing about looking intensely uncomfortable'. the second image is a full-body drawing of him holding his pistol and knife in an action pose against a background of scenery from the game. overlayed text reads 'I'M JOINING THE WAR AGAINST AUTISM ON THE SIDE OF THE AUTISM'. end id. ]

I attempted to ask my parents if I could go to therapy last night because I suspect that I may have undiagnosed ADHD.

My Dad scoffed, as if annoyed, and said “If anyone has difficulty doing anything nowadays it’s because of some mental something or other.”

- Says the man who I’ve suspected for years to be an undiagnosed autistic or other sort of neurodivergent. (Not that I’d ever say that aloud because God forbid.)

And I was so stunned and hurt that I all of my points/arguments left my brain.

Just- imagine being so close yet so far away from the POINT.

And my Mom was hardly any better. She shut me down by saying how “everyone struggles to focus on things they’re not interested in,” and “Well that’s part of your Asperger’s!”

… This is exactly why I’ve grown to HATE being a so-called “high functioning” autistic person. Any time I bring up wanting to go to therapy for unrelated issues it gets either brushed off or forgotten about because I’m “high functioning” and I don’t externalize my mental health symptoms like my sibling does (and therefore it isn’t an embarrassment or inconvenience) so it isn’t an issue and I must be fine.

Maybe I should just explode. Drink. Smoke something. Scream. Break some shit. Let my grades drop. THEN could I get some therapy? (Not that I would ever actually do any of that but sometimes I feel like that’s what it would take for my parents to take me seriously when I say I’m not ok.)

-Anyway. Just figured if anywhere would have people who understand this experience, it would be on Tumblr.

me watching the autism community post about being picky like only eating beige processed food, meanwhile most of the things they eat are like torture if I was to eat them. I can barely tolerate chicken nuggets, cheese is a sensory nightmare, I HATE pasta (especially pasta with butter) and will never seek it out, white bread is a torture device, I can’t eat store bought mashed potatoes, salsa, or guacamole, I also can’t eat canned soup and most frozen foods of any kind.

Put a beige food in front of me and there’s a 75% chance I can’t eat it. This is the one of the only LSN autism stereotypes that DOESN’T apply to me and you all are supposed to hate stereotypes so why do you make memes about it? Where are the autistics who can’t eat the beige foods, who thrive on fruit and vegetables and meat like I do. I’m STILL the most picky out of my family but I’m doubly inconvenient because my safe foods are expensive as fuck and most are seasonal fruits that are only cheap certain times of year.

we aren’t all obsessed with chicken nuggets. the meme is just annoying now.

Autism Mood of The Day

Being so frustrated about every little thing and crying because you don't know how to express your emotions.

So then you end up crying in front of your parents and make them uncomfortable/feel frustrated cause they don't know why you're crying "ItS nOt ThAt BiG oF a DeAl" or they don't know how to help

[whitestormsaystransrights]

No more sad and mopey Goldenflower!!!!!! They are toxic and loving it!!!!

Everyone wants them to break up so bad but they start yelling at whoever suggests it and say how in love they are before they start beating each other with sticks

When they have an off period everyone breathes a sigh of relief but then they get back together within a moon

Okay, genuine question, can neurotypical people seriously just choose not to forget things via the magical power of "really caring about it", or was that just a myth invented by school teachers?

Me and my dad watched that holdovers movie today. I really liked it. In some ways, I feel like I can relate to all the main characters. I just put headphones on now though, because I couldn't bear to see the ending. The ending was too sad and in some ways, tragic for me. I couldn't stand it. If that makes sense. Still, I really liked what I could bear to see.

Every time one of y’all say Phil is Autistic, I lose another five years of my life.

autistic people-pleasers when they have to say “no” to things in order to advocate for their needs
