Seizure first-aid

Seizure activity and warning signs can look like: Facial twitching, Eye rolling, Myoclonic jerks (these can look like tics but aren’t), Slowed movement or reflexes, Slurred speech, Multiple clusters of smaller seizures(atonic, partial, or absences), Seeming ‘out of it’ or unresponsive, Dilated pupils

If someone near you starts to have a seizure:

1- Time the seizure and have soemone call emergency services(this varies, see below for more info)

2- Stay calm and don’t panic. People are not always unconscious during a seizure and when you freak out it can make the person panic as well, which doesn’t help the situation.

3- If able to, move them to the floor laying on their side(do not try to do this if convulsions are severe) and protect their head with a cushion, jacket, etc. so they’re not hitting it on the floor or anything around.

4- Remove anything from the area that they could hit or bump into, like tables or chairs. Also remove anything that could be a safety hazard such as glasses or tight jewelry/clothes around the neck.

5- Stay with the person until they’re fully conscious and functioning again and make sure they’re okay. Offer things like a snack, water, comfort item, etc if possible(only do this if they can handle it, don’t try to give them food if they’re still out of it and at risk of choking for example).

DO NOT hold the person down or try to stop their convulsions. DO NOT put anything in or near their mouth- it doesn’t help and can be an extreme choking hazard. DO NOT splash them with water, yell at them, or do anything else in an attempt to stop the seizure. It’s not possible and you just have to wait it out

WHEN TO CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES:

If this is a complete stranger it’s always best to be safe and have someone call(unless you find a medical ID stating otherwise). If the person seizing is a friend or someone you know has seizures regularly then there’s usually no need for emergency services(however, ALWAYS ASK the person themselves). If the person has been seizing for 3-5+ minutes non-stop, their lips are blue, they’re choking, or anything else out of the ordinary CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY

Keep in mind that every person is different and they may want/need different things, so make sure to check with friends or people who you know may have a seizure while they’re with you.

that is true, but what is also true is that sometimes, autistic people are assholes too, not bc of autism but just bc they are! take for example elon musk...

"Autism doesn't cause you to be rude"

"Autism doesn't cause you to ignore boundaries"

"Autism doesn't cause you to..."

Shut the fuck up, kindly.

Sometimes it sounds like some of you are just so scared of Autism being seen as a "bad" or "scary" disorder that you'll blatantly ignore genuine struggles people face due to Autism and then spread around some wild misinformation.

There are many autism caused reasons why we end up being seen as and called scary, creepy, rude, cruel, annoying, loud, ignorant, mean, cold, selfish, self centred, self absorbed, assholes, callous, uncaring, uninterested, inappropriate, clingy, obsessed, crazy, detached, emotionless, and the list goes on.

And quite often, we end up being let down by everyone around us because we don't have access to the care, support, understanding, guidance, patience, that we all need and want.

We really don't need to be let down by our own community, too.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

lowkey hate when people don’t add flash warnings. it can give people seizures. which can kill them. the “aesthetic” isn’t nearly as important than someone life. also like thanks, now i have a migraine.

The growing problem of "they" for trans people

Something I've noticed growing more common in my life recently has been people using exclusively "they" when referring to binary trans people who don't use "they"

Why is this a problem?

Using "they" when referring to someone when you don't know is seen as "better" in a lot of spaces now, which I can agree with as you don't know what their actual pronouns are. The problem I've noticed is that when meeting a trans person, a lot of people seem to default to "they" even after being told what pronouns they actually prefer. This can be for a lot of reasons, but the most common ones I hear are "I didn't want to assume" and "its not misgendering, they is neutral!"

Example situation

Person A meets person B, a trans woman. A doesn't know B's pronouns and so refers to B as "they." B corrects A, saying she prefers "she," but A continues to say "they" because its gender neutral. However, A does not do the same to cis women.

Do you see the problem now?

The use of exclusively "they" on trans people but not cis people, no matter your excuse, shows that you don't really see them as what they identify as and is quite transphobic since you're literally ignoring their identity and not seeing them as how they want to be seen.

"Okay, what should I do?"

Simple, just ask them their pronouns and then ACTUALLY USE THEM!! If he says he, DONT USE EXCLUSIVELY THEY! If she says she, DONT USE EXCLUSIVELY THEY! If they say they, well. yeah, use they, obviously. If xe say neopronouns and you don't know how to use those, just ask! If any part of someone's identity confuses you, just fucking ask them instead of assuming, for the love of god, and once they tell you, don't ignore what they said.

That's all. Just please stop calling people who don't use "they" by that.
