Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.

They vibe

[Image ID: An exclamation point appears by Nino’s head and he spontaneously breaks into dance. The scene cuts to Marinette and Alya.

Marinette: What is he- I don’t hear any music…?

Alya: Man’s got music in his mind

Luka arrives and both Marinette and Alya greet him with a smile.

Luka: Hey dudes

Alya: Hey Luka

They all turn to look back at Nino. The scene cuts back to Nino, now with Luka head-banging next to him. Luka can be seen saying, “Aw yeah love this song!” and Nino responds, “Right?” Marinette still appears to be confused but Alya is just enjoying the show. End ID]

if you’ve been trained to to dislike yourself for enjoying anything due to years of being told you’re annoying clap your hands 👏👏👏

if I listed out every particular instance that was met with negativity enough for me to stop feeling comfortable talking about it, this comic would be like 50 panels.

Okay so this is so important. Please don’t ignore this post if you think it doesn’t apply to you, because even if it doesn’t, it could be happening to someone you care about. And it may seem like nothing, it feels like it’s nothing for a while but after hearing people say just how boring or dumb something you love is… well, you start to believe it. Before you realise it you find yourself not finishing stories or sentences because there’s a voice in your head saying “shut up, no one cares” and just like that those things you used to love so much lose their spark. They no longer make you as happy as before, everything is tainted and you hate yourself for not fitting in, for not being as interesting as everyone else. Because if everyone says you aren’t then they must be right? But no! It’s not true and you tell yourself that everytime, but it’s not enough. You have to learn to love the things you used to love again.

In my case, I’ve missed out on so many experiences because of this. I had given up trying to make people see the things I like aren’t a waste of time. But I’m slowly trying to claim them back.

So please, if someone you know ever tells you something about them or about what they like please listen to them. Even if you don’t really enjoy the thing they are telling you about, if they matter to you please listen. That simple action could mean the whole world to them.

Also, speaking as an autistic dude rebloggin from another autistic dude, this treatment/feeling is so much a part of the autistic experience it ain’t even funny.

Which does say something about inbaked societal ableism that I can’t quite articulate…

Progress looks different from person to person, depending on what you’re dealing with. Your progress might be that you bounce back quicker than before, just as progress might be that you don’t react as strongly to something as you have in the past. Progress comes bit by bit, and sometimes it’s hard to see, and sometimes you stop in your track and are suddenly hit with how far you have come. 🌸

Could I just say something real quick? 

It’s all coming. Whatever you’re starving for, whatever that ache is that stings your bones, it’s coming. The love, the happiness, the adventures, and the creativity that you are seeking, it is all coming for you. Here’s the thing, don’t let your right now get away. The things you find mundane, keep them. Store them in the pocket of your favorite coat like found pennies. They aren’t futile. Do not let them cause you to feel empty and hollow. They are going to be worthwhile. Keep the hunger for what is coming, but please, keep a tight grip on these little ordinary moments that are happening right now, because they – these tiny pieces of this ordinary affair you find yourself in – are the foundation to your extraordinary. And I promise you, if you begin to recognize your right now, you’ll see your extraordinary coming.
