Skill regression hits like a MOTHERFUCKER! Yes my art has improved but OH BOY HAVE MY WRITING SKILLS AND MASKING DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY!

I can barely do every day normal tasks and it is driving me bonkers. What do you MEAN I don’t remember anything front a few months ago???? And I have to pay for things and remember to feed myself?? Wtf!!

[anpaaaaa]

No. Nuh uh. Don’t call this fucking regression until you’ve researched in depth childhood disintegrative disorder and Rett’s syndrome to know what regression actually is and how devastating it is. I’m not kidding.

[fuckingpajamas]

People who use the tag #actuallyautistic need help and I hope they get it. May you find your peace and become fun at parties eventually, dude

[anpaaaaa]

The tag ActuallyAutistic was created by autistic, mostly self diagnosed (because professionals wouldn’t diagnose them, because they didn’t prioritize them in autism research) trans, women of color, who used the tag to speak out on the stereotype that autism is a boys disorder and that autism is severe in all cases. They use the tag to fight against misinformation and the tag is inherently anti-Autism Speaks and anti-ableism.

So, say you know nothing without saying you know nothing. I’m actually giggling rn

Also, autism regression is a specific subtype of the disorder (it can also be know as childhood disintegrative disorder) where an autistic person has a prodromal period of paranoia before regression. Children and adolescents (note - these people usually already have a diagnosis of autism, but then they regress to a higher level of severity and often gain a diagnosis of intellectual disability) who regress will notice their regression in abilities and will vocally ask what is happening to them before they fully regress in skills. This includes a loss of bladder control and bowel functions, significant loss of verbal language, loss of gross and fine motor skills, and sometimes a substantial decrease in IQ scores which can qualify someone to be diagnosed with ID. Autism regression is not just “burnout” or “noooo i have writer’s block my writing is objectively bad now 🥺🥺🥺”

[anpaaaaa]

@fuckingpajamas I’d call you a stupid fucking idiot but that’d come off as too blunt so I’ll just say you are not educated on the autism community and that you can’t speak for autistic people if you don’t even know what the tag #actuallyautistic ACTUALLY means, let alone on autistic issues like regression <3

And to the OP, I read your reply and I’m sorry for being rude in the replies. I understand you don’t have to divulge all the information about your regression. I’m sorry. I thought this was another “burnout = regression” post and I got angry cause regression is a very serious thing that needs to be researched more so we can accommodate those who lose vital skills in such a cruel way.

[bebop-and-oysters]

Hi, that’s my friend, he didn’t mean anything rude by it. Please be nice to him.

Thank you for apologizing, I’ve lost a lot of really important things due to whatever is going on with me. Unfortunately for me, whatever is going on has impacted my life in very odd ways.

My memory has been erratic and some skills that I used to know well (planning things, paying my bills on time, remembering to eat and drink water, ability to tell what emotions I’m experiencing, and some of my math knowledge which sucks when you’re a math tutor!) do not come so easily.

My vocabulary and grammar has also taken a hit so all the big words i used to know how to spell well are sadly not as easy for me to access anymore so I apologize for not explaining myself properly in my initial post. Just wanted it to be a silly relatable thing for people who are like me and may be experiencing a pretty significant change.

For me I’ve actually had a pretty decent change in my personality since starting to unmask in September or October (which was not planned and unfortunately meant that my school work suffered severely).

I think it’s good in these cases to assume ignorance rather than malice. I used to assume people were intentionally being rude or mean online or if they weren’t informed on a word that I should correct quickly bc how else will people learn to now? but now I’ve seen a lot more open discussion online that shoes that a lot of people just kinda. Aren’t super informed on autistic topics. It’s great that you want to bring to light the severeity of regression, especially when it has such a huge effect for so many people. I think also it’s good to remember that the people behind the screen usually just hear a term like regression or burnout and are given conflicting definitions online which leads to poor usage and stuff.

I hope you have a nice day, I hear you and I apologize because it is obvious that you are very passionate about this and I understand. I am the same with many things.

Be safe, take care of yourself, and stay chill dawg 💞

[bebop-and-oysters]

Hey dawg, I’m not gonna do that. Bc it takes a long time and I believe we have gotten our wires crossed a bit. What I was talking about was my own experiencing with autistic burnout and autistic regression which has led to a pretty severe decrease in my ability to interact with skills that once came very easily to me. I’m sorry that my wording wasn’t quite right and that my description was so casual when the topic you’re talking about is very serious and the one I’m talking about pretty much just affects my day to day functioning as an adult in the world. I hope you can forgive me.

For me, autistic burn out and autistic regression have been a struggle. Things that were once easy tasks like remembering to eat or how to spell words or grammar or even general scripts that I used while masking have been sort of jumbled up and have once again become things I have to learn again. Topics I learned in previous classes that I SHOULD remember are no longer stored in a place in my head where I can recall them. It has affected my educational and personal life quite a bit and in dropping a lot of my masking it has also ostracized me in a lot of ways from my peers. I have a harder time regulating myself now, and coping skills that once worked no longer do. I am having to learn a lot of things that I learned how to do years ago because unmasking has led to a lot of the skills that were tied to my mask no longer being accessible to me without masking.

Maybe I was too casual about how it has severely affected my life but I didn’t want to share a sob story on tumblr bc frankly it feels like a very personal and private thing.

Hope you have a good day, love you so much <3

PLEASE tell me top gun fandom is still active

[bebop-and-oysters]

I forgot to tell you guys I got an iPad. Anyway I got an iPad. I have some pieces I’ve been working on. I will show them when the time is right. Also I was looking back through old fic drafts and damn I was obsessed with Top Gun huh? That’s wild it feels so far away. Sorry to everyone that was waiting for updates and never got them but consider: I am so sleepy. Also my ButchLander fic is….not going great. I have not written a goddamn word in a few months but sometimes I think about it and feel guilty. I will work on it eventually, just not today for it is 2 in the morning and I kind of just want to watch a YouTube video on how noses work and then go to bed. Okay bye

[bebop-and-oysters]

I was wrong I think I’m back in top gun hyperfixation it just went dormant for a year

[bebop-and-oysters]

Oh boy. May or may not be re-entering my top gun phase…. This is TERRIBLE for my mental health but so so good for my adhd brain

[bebop-and-oysters]

I am a tummy ache survivor and I am being so brave about it

[bebop-and-oysters]

Oh wait I should post my Milly and Meryl piece here, that one is for sure finished (I refuse to touch it anymore)

Anyway I think they are girlfriends and anyone that disagrees is WRONG

I think trigun is sort of dead fandom rn but maybe for the people that are still lingering…perhaps they will enjoy it

Y’all remember when AI was a funny little robot guy that made jokes in movies and not something we actively had to prevent from stealing artists and writers works without due credit?
