This one was popular! It’s about motor skills mostly

My butterfly “Things people don’t owe you” post

My story-ish post celebrating the impact of art!

Thanks for reading!💛😊

Two women, one a performer, the other an advocate, were sitting together in a rare moment of quiet, then one broke the silence

Performer💖: “Listen… It would mean a lot if you’d come to my show tomorrow, I know that my job isn’t as important as yours but-“

Advocate💙: “Hey! You’re an artist, right?”

💖: “Yeah..? What of it?”

💙: “We all need art, whether it’s a nice song, a good story or a gorgeous visual piece! Your job is very important because if we didn’t have art, our lives would be much sadder and quite frankly, more bland”

💖: “But your job keeps people safe, heard and appreciated!”

💙: “So does yours! People can see themselves and their loved ones throughout the diverse world of art! People can create from their imagination or forget their problems by experiencing it! That makes people happy and keeps people strong! For some people, art is why they’re still here…”

💖: “Thanks, I that’s a really cool view, a new perspective!”

💙: “Exactly! And yes, I’ll be attending your show”

💖: “I’m looking forward to it…”

Respect, love and support for all the artists in life, whether it’s television, books, radio, painting, drawing, sculpting, writing, music or whatever, you are very much needed and special!💗

Okay, a lot of people might assume that I’m against diet culture because “That doesn’t take as much effort or discipline”. WRONG! First of all, walking away from a route that usually goes nowhere (Or back to the beginning, with more struggles), yet a route that seemingly everyone wants you to go on? Is extremely difficult and brave! I’m tired of these people being told they’re “Making excuses” when in reality it’s a big journey of healing they’re going through. Secondly, you can’t tell a person’s story, worthiness or how much happiness they create by their body size! We shouldn’t fear food so much either! Thanks to diet culture, lots of people are deeply afraid of eating foods that could bring them joy. In my opinion my mental health is more important than weight. I’m so lucky that I never dieted! (I always sensed something weird about eating less than I wanted) However, I couldn’t escape the normalized pressure, so even though my diet never changed, I still felt guilty sometimes. Now that I know eating regularly doesn’t mean I lack discipline, I eat when I’m hungry, I’m LISTENING TO MY BODY. What’s more, even though I have stomach sensitivities, it was at its worst when I was feeling anxious about what I was eating! Believe me! My heart goes out to people being told their basic bodily signals were wrong and “Evil” in the name of toxic beauty standards and less-than-backed-up health science (Don’t get me started… More than this at least). Some people avoid social events because they fear being seen at their size or because there’s food, that’s a problem, it further isolates them. Avoiding pictures, saying they can’t relax despite exhaustion, skipping meals, feeling sick and worthless, the list goes on… Eating disorders kill and they’re not exclusive to smaller bodies, but in bigger bodies, they’re praised and encouraged because they disguise themselves as “Healthy habits”, only for the sake of losing weight🥐

Okay, when I was in high school, there was a practice debate regarding homework and school starting times (Basically, each team would have to come up with an argument, first team was for the early school day start + regular homework, second team was against each). Why I remembered this so clearly is probably because one student on the pro-homework team said “If you don’t receive and do regular homework, well? Then I hope you enjoy working at McDonald’s!”. This is a terrible jab at people who do a job that needs to be done! Also, it’s an insult that implies that only less intelligent individuals work jobs like that, UNTRUE! Finding and maintaining a job is hard and I see that! This can be extremely relevant for people with disabilities too. Disabled people are more likely to be unemployed or unfairly treated at work… I don’t have a regular job and I have respect for those who do, whether 9-5, minimum wage, half days, etc. EVERYONE DESERVES OUR RESPECT WHEN DOING A JOB THAT WE NEED!!! So, no, it isn’t a shame to be working at McDonald’s or participating in a small business, we need those people!💗

Things I do that are common in autistic people but lesser known overall:

🙃I constantly hear music playing in my head, often repeating certain parts over and over

🙃Memories have flavours in my mind. It’s hard to describe but when remembering something meaningful that was a positive memory, I stop in my tracks, my chest tightens and the closest way to express what I feel is calling it an “Emotional Flavour” (Because, while it flows through my whole body, each memory has its own flavour! It’s freaky but it isn’t a negative feeling)

🙃I stim with medicine syringes so often that I have backup ones. Just pulling the white part out and pushing it back in, repeat over 50 times or something. I’m saying this is “Lesser known” because some people don’t understand that it’s not just higher support needs autistics that do stuff like this, they might argue we’re “Too smart” or “It wasn’t necessary in the first place” but stimming isn’t a bad habit, nor a sign of being less intelligent, it’s part of our nature! (Btw, I know not all higher support needs individuals are intellectually disabled)

🙃I tidy my running space until no objects are touching it. Sometimes the dogs leave their toys in my running area or whatever. I run as a form of stimming as well but nothing except the carpet can really be on the floor during that time (I run 10+ minutes, multiple times a day). It’s just for fun but I’m very picky about things in my way (I even used to be mad about the evening sunlight touching the running area!). It takes a while for me to accept using a new running space (Like, at a friend’s house)

It’s early morning so that’s all I’m writing right now, thanks for reading and questions are welcome!🩷

💗💛💗

If the time goes by and you just need to cry?

💗My heart is always open

If you’re feeling low about something you’d rather not know?

💗My heart is always open

If what you’d rather experience is pride but you hear too much from the “other” side?

💗My heart is always open

💛My heart won’t close because this is the emotional life I chose💛-Maggie (eeveeas123)

A small poem that reminds me of my greatest gift, no matter how many times people have left wounds in my heart, it never closes! There’s always a new beginning and new friends to share the journey with. Despite the challenges, I wouldn’t change myself, I’ve changed the world of those around me enough already💗

💖Dear, My autism diagnosis + lesbian/orchidsexual identity:

Some might not understand you,

Some parts of my life would seem easier without you,

Some say all of you are fake or wrong,

But I LOVE you!

Autism? With you, I can see the beauty of things that others miss, I can think in a different perspective that is much needed for the world!

Lesbian/orchidsexual identity? Born to be this way is an understatement, I was meant to thrive this way too! I really enjoy the queer community as we celebrate love, relationship, kindness, respect and justice

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! 🌈

My family knows an elderly person who likes watching SpongeBob to help them deal with their depression. You’re never too old to watch shows or engage with fandoms you love! I plan on being a Sonic and Pokémon fan for my entire life! Don’t feel guilty for escaping from reality with comfort interests. Sometimes it’s all that keeps us goin’! (Especially if it’s a special interest). My favourite comfort shows right now are:

⭐️SpongeBob

⭐️Sonic Boom

⭐️Big Bang Theory

⭐️The Simpsons

(I’ve had more previously but sometimes I switch between ones I view regularly. Also, I guess it’s obvious that I love comedy)

🤯🤬

I’m very upset! Outside my old high school, there was a guy holding a sign with words regarding “Saving the youth” from stuff like puberty blockers, gender surgery and, of course, abortion. This is disgusting! I thought we were a good neighborhood! I wanted to talk to this person but unfortunately I was just driving by (I felt it was my duty to do something, ANYTHING! So I’m posting!). I’m exhausted of seeing people preaching hate towards transgender individuals! I’m so angry and scared that I’m shaking right now! But I’m sure that doesn’t compare to the fear those same youth have! After all, they aren’t saving them from anything except being their true selves, being HAPPY in their own skin and existing in peace. I’m so done! Nobody should give a shit morally about things that don’t hurt anyone (How does trans existence hurt you!?). As the popular quote says “Puberty blockers, most surgeries and hormones are reversible, suicide isn’t”. THEY ARE HURTING PEOPLE! This is shameful, brainwashed CRAP! I know people that are transgender and there’s nothing wrong with them! I love them! (Most I know have their lives/identities figured out more than I do!). Also, I know people that would’ve died if they didn’t have access to abortion! An unborn fetus has more rights than the woman carrying it!? Once that hypothetical child is born? Supports often fucking disappear! WINNIPEG!? You still have work to do! As a member of the LGBTQ+ community (Lesbian, orchidsexual identity) and AS A PERSON WHO’SE HEART BREAKS FOR THE INJUSTICE AND CRUELTY THESE PEOPLE FACE! I REFUSE TO LET CANADA TURN INTO A PLACE OF HATE! USE YOUR VOICE! DESPITE WHAT SOME WANT YOU TO BELIEVE, YOU AREN’T POWERLESS!!!

Best compliments I’ve gotten in my life:

🐼You have a beautiful smile! (I’ve always received many compliments about my smile, especially at school)

🐼You should work for Hallmark! (I’ve written many heartfelt letters for those I love and I enjoy writing, for those unaware, Hallmark makes cards for occasions)

🐼Your service dog is so well behaved! (I didn’t train the dogs that I’ve had myself, but I kept up with the training so well that I became their handler! I’ve been handling my current SD for years!)

🐼You’re such a nerd! (Yep, here’s a controversial sounding comment perhaps, but the way they said it to me was with enthusiasm and admiration, I’m very passionate about my special interests, no shame here!)

🐼You have such a big heart! (I’m very emotional and empathetic, I care about others so much, even fictional characters or irl individuals I haven’t met. I believe I’m a good person but I have my moments, flaws and mistakes)

I’ve received more than these, but these are my favourites, the ones that are often repeated in different ways😁

Recently, I’ve been having trouble with exhaustion, anxiety and sadness. I can’t play my favourite video games anymore due to my stress/exhaustion levels, which leads me to use my phone more (Yep, social media). I see negative things, people being cruel and mean, etc. I end up crying every day, unable to explain the exact experience other than “I feel sad” or “I feel numb”. I don’t want to seem ungrateful but I have no respite due to money issues with the government (I can’t go out alone), I need a new autism service dog soon (The earliest to get one is fall), I’m not able to attend my day program anymore (They have rules that are difficult for me to follow, mostly about electronics) and my Mum is still in the hospital, suffering from a chronic illness + infections. I’m not asking for money (I know it won’t make me any happier). All I’m asking is this:

You don’t know what people are going through, be kind, you don’t know how much someone will need that…🩷Hopefully life will be better tomorrow🤞Don’t give up hope!

A post about special interests in autism⭐️

[eeveeas123]

I need people’s opinions, these are a few concepts for Sonic OCs. All are female characters, featuring their first name, last name and species (Abigail is the only one picked out so far). Comment up to 3 characters that you’d like to see me make profiles of! (This is essentially a vote)😊

🥲

Hot take:

If we didn’t treat fat people like less-than-human, problem garbage who “Need” toxic products and shaming, then maybe those people wouldn’t be so miserable! Diets have an extremely sucky success rate, metabolism can be permanently damaged by them and they create lifelong stress! Putting all the physical evidence/health aside, do you really believe that being a cruel, judgmental, hateful individual bullying a fat person will make them better in any way!? People die from eating disorders every single day, some people never heal enough to stop dieting and mental health suffers leading to bad physical health outcomes! Being fat isn’t bad, morally speaking either. Weight doesn’t control everything about you, I’m so tired of people acting like fat cancels out everything you’ve accomplished, everything you hope for, your inner and outer beauty, etc. I’m a fat woman too and I almost never swear but: Dear individuals who bully, you’re abusers and pieces of shit! It was NEVER them, it was your stupid shit that was the problem!🤬

This is my “Family” in Tomodachi Life (L to R: Mugu, Tivona, Fauna and Fazzia)

Mugu represents me (Mugu was one of my nicknames, I’m Maggie). Also, Tivona and Fauna are our twin daughters

I’ve always wanted kids irl but between how my disability (Autism) affects me and biological issues (Possible PCOS) it’s very unlikely, not to mention irresponsible, for me to become a parent. I’ve accomplished lots of things in my life when it comes to writing and advocacy, however, I’m not really independent. Being alone, even in my own home, isn’t something that’s possible right now because it’s a slippery slope of thoughts between “I’m lonely” and “I hate myself/my life”. I’m really trying hard but being a person a child can count on for everything without question? I’m not ready, I might never be. I’ll stick to my fictional daughters (And my service dog) as my children❤️‍🩹

This is a family picture (Top to bottom, left to right): Rebecca (Amy’s Mother, an OC of mine), Amy, Stellar (Amy and Sonic’s first daughter, my OC), Francine (Amy and Sonic’s youngest daughter, also my OC) and, of course, Sonic! They have updated styles of clothing now (This is an older photo)

This is Knuckles’ family (L to R): Knuckles, Scarlet (Youngest, a son, just born today in-game on May 2nd, 2026), Lara-Su (An actual canon daughter of Knuckles in the comics) and Julie-Su (I know they didn’t get married in the comics but Julie-Su wanted to in the game so I was like “Okay”)
