Looking for Mods

We are looking for new mods on Autistic Advice. If you’re interested please submit an application that includes the following information [below page break].

Name

Pronouns

Age 

Autism status (prof dx’d, self dx’d, etc.) 

Why you want to mod

How much time you can dedicate to the blog

Your special interests 

Do you have discord? If not, are you able to get one?

Are you part of any other intersectional identities? (i.e. person of colour, physically disabled, etc.) 

[autisticadvice]

Is it wrong that I am obsessed with a certain historical figure just because I think he was autistic and that he was just like me? He is related with my special interest.

Jean says:

Nope (history is my special interest too, right now i am into ancient rome)!

ABUSE IS STILL ABUSE REGARDLESS OF:

if you are a woman

if you are a man

if you are non binary

if you are genderfluid

if you are a person of color

if you are a minority

if you are white

if you are young

if you are old

if you hurt someone to show authority, inflict pain, do damage, teach a lesson, etc. without it being a defensive measure, you are are AN ABUSER. your gender or race does not give you a free pass from being labeled as something terrible: ABUSE IS STILL ABUSE.

Hello! I wanted to thank you for having that link about lesser-known traits in the FAQs, those were pretty helpful. I’m having some trouble with my mom... She feels hurt when I don’t do things like say good morning or make small talk with her, make certain facial expressions, etc. even though I’ve told her these things are unnatural for me. I don’t want her to feel bad, but I’m not sure what to do. All advice is appreciated!

hey guys!! i tried to get in contact with discord about adding a dyslexic font and they told me the easiest way to get a change to happen was to post a feedback idea and get votes on it, so if you guys could vote for accessibility for people who are dyslexic, color blind, and visually impaired in other ways it would mean a lot to me! thank you!

For all trans folks who want to chill with other trans folks.

This is an ace discourse free space.

I've noticed something...

There doesn’t seem to be any lists of ADHD studyblrs out there, and I’ve had some people ask me if I know of any. So I’ve decided to create a list of all ADHD studyblrs! Along with a list of blogs that are help and give advice on coping with ADHD. This list is just the ones I know of, so if you have one and are not on this list please reblog it with your studyblr!

ADHD STUDYBLRS: @adhdstudying @adhdstudy @adhdstudyblr @adhdscholar @studyadhd @adhdstudytips @finally-a-realistic-studyblr (me!!)

My therapist asked me to create something “motivating” so I made these.

lol.

[vvank3rshim]

I really love these, and I reblog them every single time. Some of you don’t realize how easy it’s to forget to do some of those stuff or how hard they can be some days.

I tried clicking on the FAQ and it's not working (I'm on mobile)

Try this [link here]!

[autisticadvice]

Hey, I'm in the process of researching and figuring out if I have autism or not because I found myself relating to a good number of things that autistic people say about it, and I was wondering if autistic people can have depression and anxiety as well, or if it's probably just overlapping symptoms, and which symptoms would be the overlapping ones because I'm really confused and haven't found anything anywhere (sorry for the large block of text)

(same anon asking if you can have depression, anxiety, and autism) 

one thing that I probably should have added is that my depression and anxiety are self-diagnosed, not quite sure if that affects your answer or not, but I wanted to add that before I forgot.

[[/end]]

Yup, you can have other diagnoses in addition to Autism. They’re called “comorbid disorders”. In fact, I have some other mental illnesses in addition to being Autistic. So, to answer your question— it is not unusual to have others [disorders] diagnosed and be autistic.
