Hey why as a community have we stopped using allistic? Like all I see is ppl saying nonautistic instead and like for one thing it's appropriation of the term nomblack and doesn't work contextually bc putting non in front of things doesn't work like that and two we already have a word for it that works, like pls bring it back

[nb-robot]

Any convo that relies on being mostly not scripted is subject to incoherent word order or words that are supposed to be other words but it fine bc ppl mostly know what you mean, but what I hate is ppl correcting me like " oh I know what you meant but don't you mean X instead of Z?" And like yes? I did but also you know what I was trying to say and it's not that important and we don't have to stop for this let's go!

neurotypicals: why are you so weird? you’re really weird

me: I’m autistic

neurotypicals: but then why are you so normal? you’re really normal

Since Autistic Pride Month starts today, let’s kick it off by remembering that Jonathan Sims is all-but-canonically autistic as confirmed by the writer!

[Image transcript: a tweet from Jonny Sims, writer of TMA, saying, “Similar to some of the autistic Archivist thoughts I've seen: I really love the idea, but it's not going to be canonically confirmed as it wasn't deliberate when I was writing earlier episodes, and I just haven't put the work in to be confident in it as a thoughtful portrayal.”]

Notice that it wasn’t deliberate when he was writing earlier episodes (which rather implies it is deliberate in later episodes). He just doesn’t want to take credit because it wasn’t in the original plan (thank you for not pulling a JKR, Jonny, and being upfront that the Archivist wasn’t initially planned as autistic, but that is DEFINITELY what he turned out to be regardless).

Happy Autism Acceptance Month!! ∞

Allistic ppl will talk about autistic kids until the cows come home but fail to realise that autistic kids become autistic adults and that they will be saying this stuff to our faces and not even notice it bc they don't even know what to look for in adults

Nice Autistic Childhood Feels:

watching your favorite movie or show over and over, going to the video rental place and picking out the same movie each time (if you’re old like me)

spinning around a pole, spinning around on a swing, spinning in general, swings in general

the toy or stuffed animal that had to go everywhere with you

sticking your hand out the window in the car and feeling the force of the air in your palm

incorporating your special interests into school assignments and activities whenever you could

creating elaborate fantasy universes and imaginary friends in your mind to daydream about for hours

staring at the screensaver or the weird music player animations on the computer

please feel free to add more, I know these aren’t universal but I love to reminisce about the nice parts of my childhood!

yall with adhd or autism or such ever just get…. bored. like so Painfully bored. like its not “oh hehe i was so bored and i made this” to flex or “oh im so bored bc i have nothing to do” but like a “i am physically incapable of ending this horrible understimulation with any activity i might attempt” and its genuinely fucking painful

[letmeliedown]

that autistic feel when another person just being in the same space with you when you can’t leave is incredibly draining and uses up all of your spoons

and even if they have no expectations and aren’t talking or being loud or asking you to do anything or paying attention to you at all… you still feel like you’re being Watched and can’t stim or like, exist fully for fear of doing it wrong and being judged or somehow accidentally causing harm or inconvenience 

and it’s so exhausting

Reblogging this again because I’m sure it’s a big mood for people right now. Remember to try and take care of yourself, folks!!

i cannot stress the importance of letting yourself be autistic

not just the good parts, not the parts that are met with an “aw, that’s a good autistic trait, so it’s ok!”

no. fuck that. you’re autistic, and as long as you’re not hurting anyone (including yourself), do whatever the fuck you need to in order to have your needs met and feel comfortable. 

it sounds harsh, but sometimes it needs to be: fuck other peoples’ feelings. they are not the top priority in your life, you are.

I read an article the other day that was like “You’re actually not fully conscious of things most of the time. If you were the sensory input would overload you” and I was just like asjhfdksajks

Yeah that’s literally what being autistic is like. Allistic people’s brains filter out a lot of the sensory “noise” (from all senses) around them but autistic people’s brains don’t or at least don’t do it as well.

Which is why we can hear shit like hums from all electronics and we are aware of this all the time.

Being autistic/having adhd is just like [feels uncomfortable but unsure why, so must change things and move things around at random until either comfort, exhaustion, or meltdown is achieved] until you die
