Not so commonly talked about/Atypical Autism Traits

Autism has so many traits and manifestations that aren’t commonly discussed or talked about! Frequently, doctors ignore the atypical/”uncommon” traits dismissing and not writing or educating others about them. A lot of doctors have set definitions of autism that aren’t really representative of the autistic community as a whole. Atypical traits in actuality are more common and prevalent than stereotypical ones they just often go ignored therefore less people know about them.

Also, “professionals” often create lists saying atypical traits are gender specific and use functioning disgusting labels to invalidate traits as well as experiences. Autism traits are not different for “boys” or “girls.”. There is a lot of transphobia, misogyny, intersexism, racism, ableism as well as various other forms of oppression in the psychaitric field especially in regards to autism. The sources below do contain unnecessary functioning labels and gendering. Please ignore that and know autism traits aren’t gender specific and that there is no such thing as “severe” and “mild” autism. Autism is a spectrum and every single autistic person manifests autism differently.

Additionally, some traits aren’t just specific to autism but are also traits of various other neurodivergences as well as common among neurotypicals.

Can we officially ban aphobia from the #actuallyautistic tag, please? I’d like to be able to scroll through that tag without needing to constantly be ready for seeing that kind of crap. Show some respect for you a-spec autistic community members. Thanks.

Tucking in nice and comfortable for a good night of rest, when... Brain: This offends me on a deeply personal level! Shortly afterwards: Flailing like an angry bug trapped in a cocoon of softness.

from an autistic in The Real World

“in the Real World people won’t let you wear headphones or earplugs!”

yes they fucking will nobody gives a shit if you’re wearing earplugs.

“in the Real World you’ll never have a silent place to work!”

See point number 1. Also, libraries.

“in the Real World people aren’t going to always accommodate you!”

well maybe not in every life instance but in schools and work environments it’s literally illegal not to provide ADA accommodations so

“in the Real World you’re going to have to work with people you don’t know!”

hoooooo let me tell you right now that professional collaboration and bullshit school group projects don’t even sort of function the same way

“In the Real World you’re just going to have to deal with it!”

well the Real World doesn’t actively keep my personal coping tools away from me so dealing with it isn’t half as hard as dealing with you.

is it just me or does adding a period to the end of a reply make it seem dismissive/uninterested -Ovi

[jaggedarchetypes]

reminder yall

“high functioning” is meant to discredit

“low functioning” is meant to dehumanize

dont use these terms

people have strengths and weaknesses in different areas and

autistic people are still people

Hey, I’m Ovi! My partner Hyph and I are here with a new autism-centered blog! We’d love to talk to others, answer questions, have moderate discussions and more! A promo would be wonderful!

Please don’t interact with our blog or this post if you’re a terf, truscum, po/rn blog or go/re blog.

Do any other autistic people find it really hard to say anything when someone gives you a compliment?

[fuffee]

All the time heck

sometimes I can manage a “thank you” but most of the time I just kinda sit there deadfaced like

“t-they.... they’re talking about me? oh uh” -Ovi
