actuallyautistic autpunk flag!!

i also want to clarify that i intended diversity to be like, observable and/or cultural differences, vs individualaity being mental differences (i. e., some autistic folk have severe motor complications whereas some other autistics may not).

hey besties guess what?

you can acknowledge your abuse and talk about your abuser without calling them a narcissist or using ableist/sanist terms.

no matter your intentions, if you use terms like “narcissistic abuse” you are ableist/sanist.

there are other words and terms you can use, you have no excuse.

ClusterB flag !!

individualism: to represent how unique and cool and different each of us are !!

comorbidity: to represent those of us dealing with comorbid disorders

community: to represent our community (obviously)

worthiness: to represent that we are not bad people, and each and every one of us deserves love and support

internal struggles: to represent all the pain we struggle with internally that nobody seems to understand.

Hey I'm sorry if you've been asked this before but what is autpunk? Is it just short for autism punk? (Sorry if I'm wildly off, I've never heard it before, but I'm very intrigued)

here are some posts on it!

Don’t use a gas oven to heat your home or run your car in the garage

Carbon monoxide kills you so quick. Please all do not do this.

Drip both hot and cold on all faucets + open the cupboards that house the pipes because if you don’t your pipes will burst and you’ll have massive flooding.

I’m bringing this around again because it’s getting cold in some places and I’ve been getting things to prepare for if we get another freeze in a few months. Since then, the official death toll of the freeze sits at 210, while Buzzfeed reported in May that the true count is likely much higher— around 700. It also caused one of the worst mass carbon monoxide poisonings in recent US history.

I have very little faith that Governor Abbott has done “all that needs to be done” to protect the grid and it’s weighing on me as we get closer to winter.

Please help me transition!

Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update because my original post lost traction.

My name is Nicolas Liang, and I’m a Chinese trans man who’s set to attend a full time training program for aerial acrobatics. This is a lifelong dream of mine, but the reality is that I can’t safely pursue this line of work having to bind every day! The only time I’ll be able to have this surgery is early 2022, so I’ve only got half a year to raise the money I need, or I won’t be able to attend the program. I’m only at about 25% of my goal (10,000$). Please consider donating if you can, anything at all however small helps me immensely!

My Venmo and Cashapp are both NicoLiang, and my paypal is Iscairot!

Thank you all for taking the time to read 💌

Hey everyone! This post has a lot of notes but I’m still nowhere near my goal! Please keep sharing and donating, I’m really desperate.

thinking abt that poem ‘i love the way men love’ bc my boyfriend spent an hour on the phone with me walking me thru every step of my train journey so i could visit him safely and making sure to call and stay on the phone with me when i have to walk thru unsafe areas to change trains. he knows i could do it own my own and be fine but he wants to do everything he can to make sure im safe.i love being a trans man who is so loved by his boyfriend! i love the way men love!

pls…i love this so much….loving men is so wonderful….oh i love when boyfriends….i love when gay men…when gay boyfriends….yes….love the way men love men!!!

idk what to call this flag but i made it to represent myself

im not sure if it's meant to be a queer-pagan flag or an autistic-pagan flag or both. anyway i made it because im pagan and i don't specifically agree with every belief in satanism but i do believe in the main idea of it and practice a good portion of it and worship/work with baphomet, and i dont know wtf you call that religion-wise but im queer and autistic so. i personally prefer the muted colors but pastels are pretty too :)

What is AutPunk?

To put it shortly, autpunk is a subgenre of punk that is centered around autism. Sounds simple enough, right? But what exactly does it mean?

Well, punk culture itself is about going against societal norms and expectations in general, right? So any punk subgenre — we'll say XYZpunk for simplicity — is basically just doing that, but focusing on XYZ. In this case, autpunk is a subculture that specifically focuses on autistic folks fighting ableism via unmasking or refusing to mask for allistic people's comfort; much akin to how queerpunk goes against queerphobia, and genderpunk goes against transphobia, etc.

The term AutPunk was originally coined by @autpunk-archive in 2014/2015
