Reminder: My existence as an autistic person is not an inherent burden, or a curse. I am not plagued by a sickness. I am not diseased. I was not born wrong. I do not need to be cured. You cannot fix what isn't broken. Fuck you.

Happy World Autism Acceptance (not awareness) Day! Remember to NOT support Autism Speaks as the organization is harmful for Autistics, not helpful. Don’t light it up blue. Go with #redinstead for actually Autistics.

Here are our favorite Autistic characters ❤️:

Absolutely adorable and amazing artwork à la @allyooops! 💜

Such an incredible piece of art from a brilliant artist! Thanks ever so much for drawing my Mod Pone!

Didn't draw much for Autism Acceptance Month specifically but I drew lots of special interest related things so those count??

Here's my little guy who is I guess my mascot now? Sona V1? Something!

Craftblrs unite!

Are there any crocheters, weavers, knitters, etc. here who are doing something in red for Autism awareness month in contrast to the Autism Speaks campaign?

Please reblog this posts if you plan to do something, I know someone who is searching for like-minded folks!!

I Am Autism

I am a person. I have thoughts and feelings, like you. I am complete.

Didn’t have any solid shirts for #redinstead BUT I do have some red basketball shorts—and I’m pretty sure rainbow is considered Our Colors also. Speaking mostly in those good vocal stims from Mx. Fleming in celebration of Autism Acceptance Day.

As such, I’m nonbinary, I’m bisexual, I’m physically disabled, and I’m autistic—but most importantly…I’m like an American Girl doll that got left out in the rain. I’m lovely. 🌈

April should be Autistic Wrath Month.

[aimlesswalker]

some screenshots from the app Vent bc it’s dying and I will forever miss it. Figured I’d at least archive some of the emotions from it for the ~aesthetic~ but also bc it’s helpful for me to dissect my feelings. These in particular were really important to me! These feel like they were made by people who struggle with these things, that they were made by people who really listened to the communities.  I hadn’t seen a company do RedInstead ever I think? It’s so rare for really good representation. Hope this is useful for some other people!

Post (11/12) - Disability/Neurodivergent Themed Emotions

I’m only grabbing the emotions sets that I liked so I guess send an ask if there’s  a particular one you want? The app might only live for like 12 more hours so

even tho I'm very dead on Tumblr I gotta reappear to post my yearly red instead drawing

(yes I'm aware I'm late but better that than nothing at all)

I am autism

I am autism.

You think I am broken, but I am strong.

You think I am scared, but I am dauntless.

You tried to erase me, but I will not be silenced.

I am the woman that speaks her mind,

I am the boy whose love is gender blind.

I am the kid full of creativity, the one who has the great ideas,

I am the girl who dreams of equality, who doesn’t give into her fears.

I am the man not ashamed to have tears,

I am the person that is timeless, my soul cannot be defined by years.

Where you seek order, chaos whispers my name.

Where you seek mayhem, I wish for peace.

I am intuition,

I am passion.

I am kindness,

I crave equality and peace.

You think I’m defective,

But your perception of me is deceptive.

For I am radical, I am rebellion.

I am new ideas in a world that longs for change.

I seek to gift kindness to those oppressed.

But for my neurotype, I am told others know best.

I will not be silenced,

Or told who I can and cannot love.

I will not be fixed, for I am not broken.

Social rules will not make me conform

Aren’t rules made to be broken?
