nice things about being autistic

-hearing tiny beautiful sounds like water droplets and leaves crunching -knowing lots of fun trivia from special interests over the years -brightly colored things that make ur eyes happy -that feeling when someone asks you to tell them about sth you know a lot about and it’s infodump time !!!!!! -the Good Foods™ -when ur logical and rational thinking helps you solve a problem or think of something other people wouldn’t -nice textures are So Nice: cats, very soft blankets, smooth and cold stones, the inside of a brand new sweatshirt

(we could all use some autism positivity. pls reblog and add ur own! it’s ok if they contradict each other or if u don’t relate to all of them; we’re all different)

-finding out you share echolalia with someone, and echoing it back and forth!

-when someone shares something because it’s related to a special interest of yours!

-when someone shares that your special interest thing consistently and specifically reminds them of you!!!

-helping other people explore their autistic experiences, and inevitably learning something about your autism from them too!

-friend is stimming, I stim too, echo stims ad infinitum~

-hey, that stim toy you just got looks cool, wanna switch stim toys for a bit? Cool? Yeah, awesome - oh, this is really good! Okay, let’s switch back now.

-seeing other people stimming, especially in public!!! what a joy!!

-sharing info about a special interest with someone, and seeing them get interested too - esp. when they get long term or really deeply into it!!

-getting excited pictures from friends of their new stim toys, or precious objects

-long distance autie connections - “I wish you could have been here, it was sooooo soft!!!”

- how vibrantly happy you can get!

- realizing something you do is an Autistic Thing and suddenly it’s not weird and there are other people who do the same!

- relating to animals!

- scented candle stores!

- unique happy stim dances!

- having plushie collections <3 <3

- that moment when you find out someone shares a special interest and it’s Special Interest Collision Supernova!

- epic reference retention capacity!

- the sheer amount of love and positivity in our community!

i hate that people CONSTANTLY post the statistic “half of people with autism have an average or above average IQ!!”

ok but half of autistics have a below average IQ and they’re just as valid & cool as anyone else! shoutout to all of my friends with intellectual/developmental disabilities!!

This ^ Intellectually disabled autistic people matter and are valid people who deserve love and protection.

Not knowing when to stop talking is autistic culture.

Can we talk about how amazing queer autistics are? We’re saying “fuck you” to so many harmful social norms and constructs just by existing. And that is rad as all hell.
