#shit neurotypicals say

[awkwardgoddesss]

Neurotypicals be like: Just use a planner broooo

Sir, you don't get it. If I got a planner 1 out of 4 things is going to happen.

1. My demand avoidance will kick in and I would rather rip out every single strand of hair on my body one by one than fill out a to-do list.

Or

2. I actually get everything done from my planner, but my imposter syndrome kicks in and since I set those goals for myself even though I accomplished them, they mean nothing and are therefore not worthy of acknowledgement.

Or

3. I will fill out the planner and then forget it exists. So like who is going to remind me to check my planner or use my planner to begin with?

Or

4. The worst of them all, I will end up with a planner filled with things I gotta do, remember it, not get anything done but with the extra guilt of not getting anything done.

Autistic people of tumblr, how many of you have been told something along the lines of 'you're not Autistic, Autistic people don't act like that' etc. ?

today i was at work and i heard an actual psychologist say, completely unironically, to a room full of people he was meant to be educating, that ”when you’re deeply depressed it can take as much as fifteen minutes to get out of bed”

 No, us autistic people can’t just “drop” media on command.

My special interests shape me, give me joy, calmness, and even a REASON TO LIVE; they’re my worldview, how i interact with things, they’re a huge part of what i am and how i identify. I can see its flaws, and believe me, there are MANY, but that won’t stop me from engaging with it, it’s an integral part of who i am.

 And to ask neurodivergent people to just... drop that? Drop something that made them what they are, to stop interacting with something that gives them joy in a world created to crush them to a bloody pulp, to force them to rip a vital part of their identity just to appease neurotypicas who don’t give a shit about us anyways, and are looking to dump us in the deepest pits of hell when we don’t act the way a Good Neurotypical does? Fuck no.

That doesn’t mean supporting awful people, i strongly advocate against it, what i mean is pirating stuff, engaging with what you already have, hell, NEURONARRATE, make private fanarts, indulge in what you like without promoting it! We shouldn’t be forced to rip away what gives our life flavor for the approval of neurotypicals who’ll still hate us anyways.

TL;DR: Special interests don’t work like normal ones, you neurotypical fucks.  (I hate Harry Potter btw, just in case someone doesn’t know me, since i’m just a random angry gremlin on the internet)

“youre making bpd your whole personality”

[avpdpossum]

ah, the neverending cycle of disappointment of finding a person who makes good autistic content only to find out that one of their most popular posts talks about how evil narcissists are, my beloathed

[love-laugh-daydreamarevolt]

Can boundaries among family members be more common. Like in glad we're talking about setting up boundaries with friends and in relationships but like we need to stop with the "I am entitled to touch you/ get into your space just because I birthed you/ raised you" thing. If I say I don't want a hug, you respect that. tou do not force me into one. If I say I'm not mentally available for a conversation, we decide on a later time to have it, you do not talk over me. If you said something to hurt me and I asked you to either talk to me later if you can't channel your emotions right or ask you to take a different tone, you respect my emotions and reflect. tou do not yell at me and tell me you can do It because you are my parent. If I say I don't want to hug a relative you don't push me to do so. If I don't want to talk to someone, you don't force me to interact with them.

Lost in Translation: The Social Language Theory of Neurodivergence | by Trauma Geek | Medium

Up until now, scientists have studied us like they study animals — not asking our opinion or considering that there may be a complex system of mind behind the behaviors that they do not understand. They theorize that we are less empathetic, less aware of others, less social. More like robots than people.

They have largely not tried to understand the biological mechanisms that create our experience of self. Instead they have tried every means possible to force us to act neurotypical.

Pretend I left a frustrated effortpost here about how I strongly suspect that Zenos yae Galvus, most human evil motherfucker in the story, being specifically read as inhuman in spite of the game making active effort to show that he is Like That precisely because he's human draws from a well of ableism given that he's both the only explicitly nd character in the entire game and one of a very small list of mentally ill characters, almost all villains

And like, when the game with a recent expac where 3/3 of the villains are suicidally depressed and the one dude in a wheelchair gets quietly sidelined despite buildup that should have led to an active role in the story is doing better than you, you need to fucking shape up! I don't care if people think it's "reasonable" to read his behavior as inhuman, the fact that those behaviors are read as inhuman in the first place is the fucking problem!

aaaaaaaaaag

Ableists: think for yourself

ND people: Ableism is bad

Ableists: No! Not like that!
