deciding one day that you want to build a life for yourself is so scary. like damn I really want to live… I’m new to this. where do I even begin

[jvlianbashir]

my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing

[weaselle]

when i was super depressed - like struggling to eat anything barely able to get out of bed to pee depressed - my good friend asked me every day to send her a picture of me holding a leaf and a picture of a meal i was eating and it helped me significantly

(also, she was never judgey - if my meal was a single potato chip she would simply say good job eating a potato chip today <3 )

which is to say, i agree proof of touch grass is a good idea for online spaces

This kinda required my brain a bit

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

it really does annoy me that people keep equating "special interest" with "encyclopedic knowledge." annoys me that people keep equating "autistic" with "super awesome at researching to acquire encyclopedic knowledge on their special interest." hey guys can i hand you this

[felidthing]

more thoughts:

the symptom/trait/whatever of "special interest" is in my opinion much more accurately labeled restrictive interests. its one thing to be super excited and obsessed with something. its another when youre unable to hold attention on really anything else and its the only thing you can talk about. it causes disruptions. its not always detrimental to your wellbeing but i think its important to keep the focus more on this impact

the way an individual experiences special/restricted interests will vary wildly. this can be collecting information thats kept memorized and easily accessed to repeat later, or its just the only thing occupying your mind regardless of how you express that, etc etc etc its Wide

> cats are 100% a special interest, with the warriors series and my own ocs for it as an extension of it. warriors are the only books ive read consistently since i was 8. cats, warriors, and my warriors ocs are at the center of my life and identity (says tumblr user felidthing). this is a life-defining feature of myself that i work with and around to communicate with other people. sometimes im unable to connect with people properly because i cant reach them through cats or warriors or my chemical romance or art. my interests are Restrictive.

this has been said in many ways by many people, but the perception on tumblr of autism/autistic people is extremely narrow, only highlighting the easiest to deal with, most likeable, most digestible versions of the closest-to-allistic symptoms. autism covers a large spectrum of traits and often comes along with other conditions/disorders/etc, but its frequently ignored that its a developmental disorder that often impacts several areas of one's life, not just social issues.

This might be a hot take but you absolutely need to learn the difference between someone who knowingly undermines and dismisses someone's boundaries, and someone who misinterprets where those boundaries are. These are not the same thing and treating them as equal is a disservice to your neurodivergent peers.

I have met a lot of autistic people who have said and done stuff that has made me uncomfortable. What I do about it is directly tell them what they did wrong and not to do it again because I don't like it. 99% of the time, it never happens again. Because the original action wasn't done out of disregard for my boundaries and autonomy, but due to obliviousness.

Being autistic doesn't make people turn into sexual harassers but it does make people more likely to miss, misinterpret, and misjudge more subtle social cues. Which can lead to behavior that bothers people and needs to be corrected.

Yes, if you're socially inept, and you're aware of that, you should be taking extra care to make sure you aren't doing something that makes someone uncomfortable. That doesn't diminish the importance of actually directly establishing when something is upsetting you, because it's not inherently obvious to everyone.

TL;DR, there's a difference between a guy who doesn't care about your discomfort and an autistic person who's really bad at flirting.

Hate the stomach's occasional tendency to respond to hunger with nausea. Like babygirl you are NOT helping your case right now by threatening to push the emergency "eject all food now" button!!!
