My name is Maddox, Madds, Dox,Maddie, or in some social circles Tiny, I use all pronouns except she/her.

My preferred honorifics are Mx, sir, and mister.

I'm in the alphabet mafia it's just easier to say I'm queer at this point if you wanna know the specifics just ask, a proud nonbinary, and I'm neurodivergent. (You can see with what it is that I'm afflicted with here)

Yes, if I think you're cool I WILL become your friend;this is a threat.

Hobbies include:

Tumblr staff can meet me in the Denny's parking lot for a 1v1 for putting me in timeout

Meanwhile disabled people now: Lol yeah my inhaler costs more than my rent, my mobility aide is worth more than food, I can’t sleep without my insanely expensive sleep medication, and my insurance doesn’t seem to understand why I need all these things so they’re not going to pay

Autistic adults who have meltdowns aren’t “childish”.

Autistic adults who have very specific, seemingly random support needs, aren’t “childish”.

Autistic adults who can’t be independent aren’t “childish”.

Autistic adults who have severe sensory issues aren’t “childish”.

Autistic adults with explosive emotional dysregulation aren’t “childish”.

Autistic adults aren’t “childish” because of our autistic traits. Stop telling us that we’re behaving like children, that we need to grow up. I’m not a child, I’m autistic.

I went out with 3 of my friends today. I found a place that claimed to have wheelchair accessible walks, and we went off the path, and my wheelchair got stuck a thousand times.

We laughed so hard, and they pushed me (I can’t propel myself very far) and we took photos and we laughed more and we went through mud and fine sand and thistles, and then we ate croissants at a café and when we got back to the car we had ice cream and

I wish I could go back to my child self and show them this day. I wish I could say, One day you’ll be part of things and people will be glad to have you around, and they won’t complain about pushing you up a steep grade or through a bog, and they will want to hear your shitty jokes and when you gasp and say LOOK A BABY BUNNY they will stop to look and it will be exactly as magical as you’re imagining now.

You can find a place where you’re appreciated and loved and supported. You can. I believe it.

[cripple-punk-dad]

I went to a carnival with my friends the other day, and even though my shoulder was dislocated all of them were willing to push me wherever we went, and when they went on the rides I couldn’t go on, I sat and took pictures of them so we could all remember the day. I bought cheesy dinosaur shirts and we all found matching cow shirts. We went through the fair and found little Lego sets that we all loved, and when I got overwhelmed all of them were willing to find a quiet spot to sit and relax in. Even when I started having a tic attack, we left very quickly and got pizza.

I really needed this post to remind me that it’s easiest to feel like you’re a burden when people treat you like a burden. But I promise you’re not, you’ll find people who want you around.

I bought a house with my partner. I am allowed to paint the walls exactly the way I want them painted, in exactly the order I want them painted. I put up the painter’s tape myself and I pull it down (so satisfying). I decide if the walls need another coat or if a spot needs touching up, and I am not shamed or berated for my “pickiness”. In fact, my partner walks in and says “wow, it looks amazing in here. Great job, handsome.” He does not touch me when I am sweaty and sore, but waits until I have had my shower and come back to myself.

The food in our cupboards is food I will eat - or at least our cupboards contain nothing I hate and am expected to eat anyway. There is always something to snack on for when food is Bad and eating is Hard. There are no doors on the cupboards, the better to remember that food exists and can be accessed easily.

There are soft things everywhere. The lights are kept low and soon we will put up fairy lights for supplemental lighting. My sensory needs are met and respected, and I am safe.

My partner puts my walker in his car and drives me places - and does not object when I would rather be the one driving, relinquishes control as easily as breathing. He checks to make sure I am okay, that I am not pushing too hard; he believes me when I say I can or cannot do something. He slows down to keep pace when I am tired or in pain, and never, ever rushes me.

You will build a home some day, and it will be just as beautiful and safe as mine.

[tired-and-healing]

I now live in a place where there is no screaming or yelling. I no longer walk on eggshells by simply existing in my own home. There is no more pressure on me to sacrifice my limited energy to do more because there is no desperate need for me to escape.

The dishes are allowed to stay in the sink overnight and the world does not explode if the bathroom is not cleaned top-to-bottom weekly before Sunday evening. My roommate and partner believes me when I say I cannot do something, and I feel safe and comfortable to ask for help when I need it.

I am unlearning the involuntary hesitation of inviting people to my home, and learning that it’s okay to let people in even if their time in my life is only temporary.

I never would have been able to imagine this as a teenager, or even through college. It does get better. It’s worth hanging around for.

[antichrister]

fucked that abled people in your life legitimately will get sick of you being disabled. "no offense but you're always tired" - oh im sorry! i completely didn't realise that MY body being chronically fucked and in pain was such a drag for you, really, ill make sure to keep that in mind like oh my god the fucking balls on people to say shit like that to us.

i will beat the abledness right out of you and make you go through the shit i do and im not joking

[theconcealedweapon]

What an autistic person says: "How long is it going to take?"

What they mean: "I want to know whether to activate my short term waiting mode where I just wait and do nothing else, or activate my long term waiting mode where I occupy my mind with something else. I fully understand that both are possibilities, and I have no problem whatsoever with either one, but I want more information so I can best adapt to the situation."

What neurotypical people hear: "I am impatient and demand that everything I want happen right now. Please scold me and publicly humiliate me for it."

[coffeeseed]

God, I can't tell you how much the "there's not enough enrichment in my enclosure" joke has helped my mental health. Because, for some reason I can't comprehend, pretending that I'm a zoo keeper caring for an animal (which is also me) just makes everything easier to comprehend. Like "Your head gets screwey when you're apartment is messy" just doesn't carry as much resonance as "The tiger becomes agitated when its enclosure is cluttered" because then I'll be like, no shit? The tiger? I've gotta keep things nice and clean for the tiger.

I need to go into the forest and scream for an hour and a half

[seleneblackwell]

So a friend of mine does this. He literally drives three hours into the middle of no wear in the forest in the mountains on some back road that is protected so no hunters and has no houses by it for miles and miles and he picks a time at night when no sane person is going to be out there and he just screams.

He screams. and screams and screams and honesty it’s been better for him than any therapy he’s ever been thru. He screamed all his fears into the dark and now he’s a lot more well adjusted. Stronger. More sure of himself. He’s not afraid of the dark anymore. If it was anyone else I’d say that this whole story sounds pretty “serial killer-ish” but I know him and I know that screaming into the dark only made him more good and more tolerant of other people.

I highly recommending going to a forest and screaming.
