Unfollow this account if you're transautistic, transadhd, any of that bullshit. (Not talking about people who're trans and autistic, talking about transid people)
"But it's how I-" No.
"You can't control how I-" No.
You are neurotypical, calling yourself an identity that is for neurodivergent people. That's fine, except when neurodivergent people tell you to stop. Then you should stop. You have no argument for not stopping.
"But self-diagnosis-" No.
There's a difference between self-diagnosing and being transautistic.
Transautistic is saying "I'm not autistic, but I feel like I should have autism, and now I'm one of you!" And then I will respond by calling you ableist and punching you in the face.
Self-diagnosing is saying "Hey. I'm not diagnosed, but if I went to a good doctor, I think they would diagnose me with autism." And then I go "Oh, what are your symptoms? I have autism, I can help."
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, you can combine one 8oz can of pumpkin puree with one box cake mix (any kind but spice cake is best) and about 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, drop by tablespoon-ish onto a greased/parchment/silpat cookie sheet, and bake at 350F for 13-16 minutes
if there are no spices in either your cake mix or pumpkin puree i suggest adding warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT THIS INFORMATION GETTING AROUND

There is something that scares and upsets me SO bad about the whole “caregiver application” / “little application” thing. If it’s worked for you, great. I’m happy for you, happy you found a CG you click with, happy you found a little you like, etc. But that concept is so fucking scary to me.
I trust my CG more than I trust my partner in some aspects. And I trust my partner with my life, but my four year old traumatised self does not do the same. My caregiver is somebody I love and trust at every age. My caregiver is somebody I have grown up knowing and loving, someone I know inside and out, someone who knows me inside out. Passing off my regressed self to a stranger would be giving them the most vulnerable version of myself— a scared, hurt child who doesn’t know how to keep herself safe and doesn’t know how not to overshare and doesn’t act like an adult. And I’d be handing that off to a strange fucking grown up that I’d never met. I’d be terrified. I’m already terrified when I’m regressed, but without any CG and especially with someone I don’t know, it’s infinitely worse.
Also some of them have options for ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS. Do you understand what that implies? Find yourself a stranger, DATE THEM, and then TRUST THEM WITH A VULNERABLE CHILD. Do you know how easy that is to take advantage of? Do you know how DANGEROUS that is?
Once again. If this has worked for you, I’m glad. And I know not all regression is trauma based or unpleasant or scary. But PLEASE think twice before trusting a child in a strange adult’s hands— even if that child is yourself.
