Finally got around to fully fleshing out this doodle and I’m pretty happy with the result. The only thing is it came out really… yellow. Other than that I’m satisfied. Unfortunately the video has a couple of pixely issues here and there and there was nothing I could do about it, but it plays mostly fine.

Disability representation from way back...
This infodump is so random, but what the hell I’m gonna share.
I just remembered back in the day when I RP’ed in Yahoo chat. This is the early, early, early 2000′s when Dragon Ball Z was a massive thing. There was an RP’er there with cerebral palsy and he RP’ed a DBZ OC (an Icejin) that had it too. I just thought of him again because I realized there are speech devices that work through eye gaze and that’s what this character used to talk before it was ever invented IRL!
Anyway, Mist(or was it Myst, can’t remember…) was Freeza’s cousin and I still remember googling what “athetoid cerebral palsy” was because of him. This character had zero control of his limbs and couldn’t talk with his mouth. He bopped around in a floaty pod like first form Freeza, used a device to talk, had a little robot that floated everywhere with him to be his hands, and he had wicked awesome telekinesis that could fuck people and places up.
AND I REMEMBER ONCE, someone went OOC to ask him why he was playing a “crippled” character when he can make one that isn’t, and he answered “Am I crippin’ your style by existing where you can see me? GOOD! *chair spins*”
I laughed for days.
And a few days ago I reread an old fanfic starring a blind Namek OC written by a blind guy because I was nostalgic and the fic honestly feels like a real arc right out of DBZ. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1381024/1/Blending-In (Warning: ff.net messed up some of the formatting, but it’s still readable.)
I'm the tattoo anon again. I know you said that post wasn't directed at anyone, but I wanted to reply. I'm sorry people are being rude and supporting harmful things. I've been in situations where a doctor or therapist has invalidated me or completely ignored my literal asking for help and put me on medication that made me suicidal. I was told, as an adult I couldn't be autistic because I didn't use barbies as a hammer, two years before being diagnosed.
Hi! Yeah, the post wasn’t directed at you. I didn’t even read your messages before I made it. Anyway, I’m sorry about the doctors being so horrible and saying those things. They’re so uneducated and ignorant.
As for the puzzle piece tattoo. I understand you didn’t get it because of autism but I can guarantee you majority of people who see it will think you did. Granted all the autism speaks supporters will think you’re one of them or whatever and the general public will be supportive. Whenever I see puzzle piece tattoos or puzzle pieces in public I get really disgusted. It’s nothing to do with you. I just hate autism speaks so much.
There’s not much you can do about the tattoo. It’s good you know it wasn’t meant for autism speaks or autism. It’s just one of those things people will assume I guess? I’m sorry if I seem rude.
Also I swear I wasn’t talking about you. I was talking about all the people vagueing about me and people posting problematic things.

me being petty cus i know autism is a spectrum it just annoys me
I get really jealous and annoyed when I see people on this blue hellsite talking about how great their autism is and how it’s not a disability to them. (Again I know it’s petty and I very much believe in the neurodiversity movement) It just makes me doubt that they have autism if they don’t suffer immensely like I do.
I see these self-diagnosed autistic people and they act like autism is a thing that helps them and that makes them cool, and I just get angry like “why can’t I be like that?” because I was diagnosed with autism when I was small and it’s so harmful to my well-being and people treat me like shit because of it, and seeing these people acting light-hearted about it makes me angry.
I wish I wasn’t autistic and I wish I could be cured! Being autistic isn’t fun at all!!!!! (And of course I know it’s society that is the bad part, not the autism, it just seems futile to change society sometimes when I get depressed about it). I don’t know, I just get upset and envious. Why can’t I be like that?
Not to mention these people walk all over the autistic people who are more disabled than them and then have the gall to compare autism to ADHD as if they’re similar. I just get so annoyed, like, why do I have to suffer and you don’t?
Their loud happiness makes it feel like my suffering isn’t real. Does anyone else feel that way, or is it just me?
I may be all bouncy and happy and positive about being autistic, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have moments that feel like hell on Earth. I’m not going to make this into any “I have it worse than you” conditions, but I’m going to point out where I struggle because I want you to know that I have difficulties too. Some of these are things I struggle with every day and others are not every day, but still happen often. I get overstimulated very easily, which shrinks my thinking capacity and my ability to communicate understandably eventually goes poof. I get understimulated very easily, which makes me antsy and unable to concentrate until I fill in that sensory hole. Sometimes I can’t stop stimming to do something else because my body is prioritizing self-regulation over everything else. (I don’t mind this one if what I’m doing isn’t “I need this done in 30 minutes” time sensitive.) I have days where my sensory issues are so bad that I can only leave my room to use the bathroom. Getting sick or having my period throws my entire physical and emotional balance off.
Sometimes I have self-injurious behavior. Sometimes I have meltdowns in public. I have “slow burn” meltdowns where I feel myself winding up and can’t unwind again. I have “instant blast” meltdowns where I go from zero to boom in .0001 seconds.
If two high priority environmental prompts happen together (like the phone and doorbell ringing at the same time), my response is to have an instant meltdown.
My executive functioning is awful; I might need somebody to guide me to a starting point and walk me through a process or else it won’t get done.
Activity transitions are meltdown minefields for me. I need to be warned of changes in my routine at least two days in advance or else I totally flip out.
I can’t drive because I can’t split my attention well enough to be safe on the road. Like, I might be so focused on looking for a street name that I won’t notice the car running a red light or stop sign until it hits me. This means I don’t get to get out much because I rely on other people for rides. I stumble on my speech and sometimes I have trouble making a concise point. The way I speak is simpler than I think, so people often assume I don’t know what I’m talking about.
I have trouble understanding people who speak English with a very strong accent from their native non-English language– it’s not them who is doing it wrong, it’s my ears and brain having trouble figuring out the unusual pronunciation of familiar words.
I absolutely will not understand what someone is saying if there’s a lot of background noise or people talking as they’re talking to me. Even having the TV on with one person talking at the same volume as you will make me unable to process anything you say. You have to make your voice “bigger” than the noise around us by either talking louder or letting me get closer to you. This happens because I can either tune out everything or tune in to everything. My filter is either open or shut, there’s no in between. Autism is very much a disability that causes me very real problems. I rely on disability benefits because I can’t handle a work environment at all. I used to have moments like you’re having– moments where I wish it would go away, but I’ve learned that taking our autism away won’t really solve our problems, it’ll just give us new ones. You’re not suffering less or faking just because other people choose to see the positive sides of their autism. I’m super proud of my imagination and my ability to think in ways other people can’t. I love that I can take a split-second scene in a movie or TV show and have it spawn a series of fanfics that get written over the span of a decade. I love that I can get massive ideas for fanfics from the smallest, seemingly insignificant details or experiences I have in my life. I love that I can write like I do, and I wouldn’t have the ability to get inside characters like I do if I wasn’t autistic. I love geeking out over my special interests and the rush of emotion that comes with it. I love how music pours straight through my body when I listen to it, and I love the euphoria I experience while singing with my church choir. I love how my experiences of the world are on a deep sensory level because I feel like I commune with every environment I enter. I love having a random sense of humor because sometimes I say really hilarious stuff. I love being able to find the things non-autistic people don’t notice and point them out– like if I’m out for a walk and see a cute little flower growing out of a crack in the cement, I’ll run over and get down on the ground to look at it closer while calling everyone else over to see it too. –I remember there was a blind lady in my church choir, and I would “elbow-guide” her to the potted plants near the church altar so she could touch and smell them and I would describe their color. (She was born totally blind and had no concept of color, but said she liked to hear about it anyway.) I was the only person who would describe the environment to her, like I told her what Bible images the stained glass windows depict and what colors they were. I taught her what “sparkle” is by saying it looks the way raindrops feel when they hit your hand. Those are the things I love and things I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t autistic. Those are what I like to focus on. That doesn’t mean I pretend the negatives aren’t there because they totally are.
And who walks all over other autistic people who have more support needs than them?
I’ve called autism and ADHD “cousins” before because there’s some symptom overlap. I also think autism and Tourette’s may be “cousins” too for the same reason.
And to finish– I ain’t gonna tell you how to feel about your autism. You’re allowed to hate being autistic, but I’m not going to stand around and let you think it’s okay to put down other people who don’t hate being autistic. Some people may finally be comfortable with themselves and it’s not fair to chase them back into their shell because you hate to see them being positive about it.
There’s good in your being autistic too. The key is finding it. I believe you can and you will, it just takes patience. <3
God knows who belongs in your life and who doesn’t. Trust and let go. Whoever is meant to be there, will still be there.

A$ begins to disguise their dirty organization as a loving supporting neurodiversity movement in their neurodiversity article which was damn hard to read and didn't make a grain of sense. And i have nothing against movies and disney, and i hate fundies, but WTF are they doing, quoting movies in a serious article about neurodiversity? and their the same guys who made 'autism every day' WTF
right?????? yeah and their version of neurodiversity is so watered down too! like “autism isn’t a disability” yeah it is??? and that’s rude to disabled people too! and they act like it only applies to ~high functioning~ people or those of us who can contribute to capitalism while they still go on fearmongering and hating the so called ~low functioning~ autistic people! like it’s soooo obvious they’re just trying to get us to shut up about them so they can make more money.

二見浦の夫婦岩
Méotoiwa@Futamiura coast in Ise district
Those two rocks are a couple, as the word meoto means a husband and a wife:)
I saw many frog figures around this shrine.
Frogs, *kaeru* in Japanese, is often considered to be a good luck charm as it sounds the same with *return=kaeru*.
My husband and I bought an ema wooden board, wrote our little wish on its backside like, may we can stay happy and healthy forever, and hung it on their board hanger to make our wish come true.
These two rocks are pretty well-known in Japan, and I’m happy I could see it with my eyes! :)
伊勢神宮おかげ横町
Everyone likes to drop by Okagé Yokocho street on the way back from the visit to Ise Shrine.
I wonder if that barber’s sign pole almost the same red+blue+white design everywhere in the world?
