AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH QUOTE 10

Wednesday, April 17, 2024

“In many ways, diagnosis saved my life. And it’s no secret that disabled people need diagnosis in order to access potentially life-saving resources. But we should be working to undermine a system which withholds and gatekeeps resources from those who need them, as well as undermining the neoliberal-esque ideologies which don’t necessarily consider the health of the population to be much of a priority. I was always going to seek a diagnosis because I know how nesessary and validating it can be, but my goal is a world where that doesn’t need to be the case.” – Ember Green, Misinfo, Diagnosis & Autism Advocacy ft. @YoSamdySam

“I’ll be back to check on you in a bit.”

Do You Think I'm Sexy? (ao3) - alphapavlikovsky

Considering Phil is in love with the guy, he makes it his mission to prove he can be sexy after all.. even if it involves getting some help from a few friends along the way.

What happens when Phil suggests Dan takes it easy?

Just Ask Me (ao3) - LittleLola1114

Summary: Dan and Phil are locked in a basement after trying to get away from a party. After a few bitter words said to each other, Dan finds out that the only reason Phil is so moody is that he hasn't eaten in almost two months. Phil's a vampire who doesn't really want to hunt during the holidays so he rather starve himself than to hurt people. Dan, of course, doesn't want Phil to suffer, so he offers Phil to drink from him. Could this intimate moment bring up past memories and emotions? Can Phil stop temptation and control himself before it's too late?

silver and gold (ao3) - manchestereyes

Summary: At twelve years old, all Phil wants is someone who really gets him. That and a chance to go to Manchester without his mum and dad for once.

you got my heart racing and hands shaking and it isn't bad this time (ao3) - louisbabyfox

Summary: If you asked someone what their first ever memory was, they would probably tell you something about learning to tie their shoelaces, being cradled in their grandparents' arms, taking a bath with their siblings. They would tell you about their first Christmas and how all they can remember is a blurry image of Christmas lights and laughter ringing in their ears. They'd tell you about falling asleep in their parents' arms and sleeping in their bed, about blowing their first birthday candles and eating chocolate cake. Those are all normal, cheerful, happy memories. That's usually how it goes.

Dan remembers being scared

Hace un par de semanas terminé el anime de Komi-san no sabe comunicarse y se me hizo una forma muy tierna y divertida de hablar del tema de la ansiedad social Aademás que de los personajes entrañables que presenta no pude evitar encariñarme con estos tres principales(sin mencionar que Najimi me pareció un excelente ejemplo de lo que es una identidad no binaria) En fin uwu se las recomiendo si es que no la han visto nwn . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #komisan #najimi #tadano #anime #netflixanime #netflix #socialanxiety #nonbinary #neko #chibi #notebook #komitadanonajimi #komitadano #hitohito #cute #komi #komisanwakomyushoudesu #komisan #komisancantcommunicate #komisanisbadatcommunication #komishouko #komicantcommunicate #manga https://www.instagram.com/p/ChLBX3GIJSw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

more info from here (the website of the people who came up with this whole thing:

"Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is a transdiagnostic treatment which targets a spectrum of disorders characterised by excessive inhibitory control or overcontrol (OC). It is intended for clinicians treating clients with such chronic problems as refractory depression, anorexia nervosa and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

[...]

Maladaptive overcontrol is characterized by four core deficits:

Low receptivity and openness: manifested by low openness to novel, unexpected, or disconfirming feedback, avoidance of uncertainty or unplanned risks, suspiciousness, hyper-vigilance for potential threat, and marked tendencies to discount or dismiss critical feedback.

Low flexible-control: manifested by compulsive needs for structure and order, hyper-perfectionism, high social obligation and dutifulness, compulsive rehearsal, premeditation, and planning, compulsive fixing and approach coping, rigid rule-governed behavior, and high moral certitude (e.g., there is only one right way of doing something).

Pervasive inhibited emotional expression and low emotional awareness: manifested by context inappropriate inhibition of emotional expression (e.g., exhibiting a flat-face when complimented) and/or insincere or incongruent expressions of emotion (e.g., smiling when distressed, showing concern when not feeling it), consistent under-reporting of distress, and low awareness of body sensations.

Low social connectedness and intimacy with others: manifested by aloof and distant relationships, feeling different from other people, frequent social comparisons, high envy and bitterness, and reduced empathy.

[...]

Radical Openness is a way of behaving as well as a state of mind, informed by the central premise that emotional well-being involves the confluence of three features: openness, flexibility and social connectedness. As a state of mind, radically open living involves actively seeking our personal unknown in order to learn from an ever-changing environment. Radical openness also enhances relationships because it models humility and the willingness to learn from what the world has to offer. As such, radical openness often requires us to sacrifice our firmly held convictions and self-constructs – and this is why the practice of radical openness can be painful.

Radical openness is more than mindful awareness. It means actively seeking those areas of our lives that we want to avoid or may find uncomfortable, in order to learn. It involves purposeful self-enquiry and a willingness to be wrong, with an intention to change if needed."

how do i get my crush to like me i’m desperate

[in-tenebris-et-in-solitudine]

[lunaxstella]

I don't hate crowds. I fear them. Every time I am caught in one, my brain goes fuzzy and my chest starts crushing. Then all of a sudden everyone around me is panicking at the sight of a person who's gasping for her life. She can't utter a sentence. She can't breathe. Every face around her is blurry. No one is familiar, nobody to grab on.

I don't hate people. I fear them. Books in my hand, cold sweats while I try my best to walk down the sidewalk. Eyes ahead, seeing everyone's stares. My brain starts shouting voices of unworthiness and judgment. My ears start ringing. And then there it is again, suddenly my knees are weak. I can't breathe. She falters her way somewhere and tries her best to calm down the voices inside. Sush, not here. Shut up. Stop.

I'm trying my best to win here. Make it stop.

Overcome Social Anxiety Now !

Social anxiety, a common mental health condition, can significantly impact a person’s well-being and everyday life.

[catsincidents]

Goethe wrote in an “Italian Journey” that if we clearly stated our expectations toward each other, life would be more favorable.

I agree.

Generally...

Hm. When I decided to post this, I was certain this would be one of the easiest texts to write.

Turns out it’s one of the hardest...

There’s so much on my mind that I cannot put it into words.

I always wish I could see the world through someone’s eyes, to know their expectations, perceptions and sentiments.

I’m a terrible overthinker and knowing prevents a lot of misconceptions, misunderstandings and even hurt.

But on the other hand, it eradicates the unknown, which could mean possibilities or impossibilities. It eradicates game.

Because what’s a game when you can foresee the other team’s move? (Still, a game does need a framework of rules.)

So, you see, there are actually a lot of shades of gray to this.

(I guess it’s like with everything else in life... finding the balance.)

Goethe’s quote in German. I couldn’t find the English version:

“Vielleicht hätte man viel mehr Dank und Vorteil vom Leben, wenn man sich wechselweise gerade heraus ausspräche, was man voneinander erwartet.“

AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH QUOTE 12

Wednesday, April 17, 2024

“You hear as autistics we make poor eye contact, we have difficulty socialising, which are both very pathologising ways of describing something that is inherently neutral. You could completely rewrite the neurotypical experience to be just as pathologised, if you wanted to. … ‘I’ve discovered this new condition – sorry, disorder – called “Neurotypical Spectrum Disorder”, and people who are suffering or afflicted with this disorder often have poor attention to detail. They might have an obsession with meaningless small talk, social status, and ritualistic exchange or social grooming. They may demonstrate a lack of interest in exploring their favourite topics deeply. They will take many activities at once, aka “multitasking”, at the expense of all of them. They have a linear thought process and inability to think outside of the box on a daily basis.'” – Samantha Stein, Autistic traits are HUMAN traits: depathologising the autistic
