The solution to ableism isn't for me to "stop calling myself disabled", it's for everyone to stop treating "disabled" as a bad word

uggghhhhh why are my tics so fucking bad today
and what makes having a bunch of tics even worse is that i on most of them dont get that 'satisfaction' afterwards and even if i consciously stop suppressing it doesnt help
#SO TRUE#literally the only reason Idrc about my tics is because of the satisfaction that comes after the tic#it feels really nice#and when I don’t get that I’m like#“why is life worth living now?”#tics#tics and tourettes

as a person with tics i unironically mostly don't care about people faking it for attention. Like, I genuinely think it's their problem. You know what I care about tho? People without tics accusing anyone who's having tics of faking. Too much tics? Nobody tics that much. A very few/almost no tics? Well I knew you were faking. I actually have a bit of periods when my tics subside usually when I'm focused on something or something similar, and I always was kinda scared of someone telling me that I'm faking because I had a break. Like god please people understand that tics vary from person to person.

you know when i say we have to accept autistic people who have symptoms of autism that cause things like body fluid smearing, inconsistent or no personal hygiene, lack of volume control, etc. I'm not talking about some fringe cases of autistic people with "extreme" symptoms. these things are common. they're common amongst medium and high support needs autistics, but also amongst low support needs autistics. some of your peers at the local autistic peer support society are struggling with incontinence. it's just that they can control their liquid intake and use pads to manage symptoms. some of them are smearing fecal matter but they just clean up after themselves. the divide between low support needs and others isn't that low support needs autistics are actually more palatable, have fewer undesirable symptoms, or are in any way better than the rest of the autistic population. even if some people like to act that way. it just refers to the level of support they need. like being able to manage your own incontinence for example doesn't make you have it any less. we've gotta accept that various symptoms are part of autism. they're actually quite common. there remains a lot of social stigma around these symptoms, but that doesn't make them rare or not worth talking about. things like skin picking or hitting your head are behaviours that naturally arise from having autism, and we've got to accept that
