Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

hate when someone asks how are you and you say good how are you and they say "oh not so great" or something. it's always like ohh okay i see we're being honest i thought we were playing pretend. can i have a do-over

i love having the hubris to go 'sure i'll try that, how hard can it be' about every creative skill under the sun. jack of all trades master of shit fuck but who says you have to be a master??? maybe i want to sew a mediocre plushie and code a janky mod and write a bland song. im having fun. im in my lane. im learning and im thriving.

hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?

you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?

and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

support disabled PERFORMERS!!! not just visual artists who you can avoid actually seeing. support disabled singers, dancers, comedians, actors, drag artists, etc. experience us, look at our faces, listen to our stories, watch us move. make sure you tip us extra.

pretentious moment incoming but why is everyone's idea of fashion so fucking boring these days. why the fuck did my manager just ask me "what's with the scarf". "what's with the scarf" fuck man do I need a reason to wear a faggy little scarf now? you could just say "nice scarf man". what's with your attitude

it makes total sense that many folks in autism support groups rely on their parents as caregivers. they are often peoples first caregivers, and decent ones stick around to take care of their kids. I have even noticed a cultural shift, where even NT people are not being pressured to move out because of the hardships for anyone living on their own. I have several friends who are 10+ years my senior who still live with their parents.

And it's something that makes me feel like such an outsider. I've never met or talked to a friend who has experienced homelessness like me (and even my homelessness was not incredibly harsh. I had places to sleep, even if I had no home). Most of my friends still have some sort of relationship with their parents, if not outright living with them. I just feel like no one can relate to me, so no one can fully understand me. And I've known that for a while and I am coping with it, but then it happens in support groups too and I cope less well. post after post can be about communicating with parents who are caregivers. Sometimes I default to thinking these are kids, but way more than just kids live with or interact with their parents, I am actually the unusual one here. But I feel like I can't help at all, nor relate. I get jealous, I feel like an outsider, I feel imposter syndrome.

And if I do share about my caregivers, who are my romantic partners, I feel like I am not taken seriously either. An autistic (level 2) person can not find love ! And if they do, it is unfair to ask that person to take care of you! People have told me that I could not be autistic, because they would never be able to date with autism. idk could i then not be autistic because my parents would never take care of an autistic person??? It is ridiculous logic, and unfair to expect that the only caregiver an autistic person could have is a family member or support worker.

idk. this was longwinded and went too many directions, and i hardly even use this blog. i dont know where else to be "actually autistic" and say my dumb little thoughts. If anyone does read this, please know my sentiments are not about putting down people who live with or get support from their parents, but just how I am noticing the difference between myself and others and wondering what to do about it. They can't relate to me, but I am struggling to relate to them too.
