Don't tell me any of u guys actually think autism is a "destigmatized disorder"

biracy

The entire anti-vax movement is built around the unfounded idea that vaccines cause autism. There are people and organizations dedicated to "finding the cure" for autism. Autistic people, including children, are seen as "creepy" or dangerous. You cannot, in good faith, claim that autism is "destigmatized like anxiety and depression" just because it's kind of trendy between a bunch of autistic bloggers on this stupid website to make jokes about "my autism beam" or whatever

#LITERALLY. LITERALLY #god forbid we’re not hating ourselves for being autistic #suddenly that’s ‘glorifying autism’ all of a sudden?#yeah fuck off with that i’ve spent enough of my life wallowing in self hatred let me be myself and let me say autism beam and stuff #i will glorify my autism every day of the week because the rest of the world thinks i’m defective

autism screening quizzes will be like “do you take things too literally” and then ask fifty of the worst-worded questions ever dreamt up by man

ndviduality

“Do you remember dates better than most?” and they’re using that question to gauge attention to detail

(I need to prove a point)

sorry for appearing randomly and spamming yalls dash

The funny thing about figuring out youre neurodivergent is looking through your family and starting to notice youre definitely not the only one

#me realizing my dad is JUST like me in our adhd tendencies #we start things and leave them at 90%#we get little projects going constantly #we both LOVE problem solving and fixing stuff #and we both like to make things instead of buying them

What was your explanation for the "i know i'm human but I feel so different" feeling that autistics and other Nd Folk feel?

Alien

Changeling / Fairy

Experiment

Was a different non-human (vampire, monster, etc.)

(I thought I was a vampire, and then an alien experiment)

#most of those at diff points #i had this story in my head that i was a dragon when i was a kid #when i got older i felt like a robot/alien #funnily enough i never had the ‘experiment’ phase even though i was quite literally created in a lab

I hate that no one talks about just how distressing memory loss from adhd actually is. I always see memes that are like “haha I forgot my phone, I don’t remember where my laptop is, etc”, but no one seems to talk about how it can really fuck you up long term to just, not remember things that are completely mundane to non-adhd’ers. The memory loss is, however, so frustrating to us. I cannot physically count how many meltdowns I have had over the sheer mental frustration and torture of not being able to remember seemingly simple things

#this is so real #it’s fucking hard to exist when you forget everything after a few seconds #and it’s embarrassing too!#having to constantly turn around and do what you forgot to do #it makes us look clueless

DYSCALCULIA TOOL ALERT!

This is an acrylic magnifying glass with a green strip in it that helps you read long strings of numbers! It's been known for a while that putting a colored filter over pages can help people with dyscalculia read numbers without them flipping places, but this is the first time I've seen something so simple and accessible. I put it on some test numbers and my eyes didn't feel like they kept wanting to jump around all over the number. I can keep this on my desk and use it on paper, or hold it up to my monitor to read long numbers at work! It may help people in other ways as well, this is just what I bought it for and I already love it!

I found it at a Daiso location, but there are probably others online.

Spread the word!

EDIT: It's also like $2, so pretty much anyone who needs it can afford it!

Are you the "I will eat the good food first and let the bad come last" neurodivergent or the "I will suffer through the bad food first so I can end with the good" neurodivergent?

#i am the ‘don’t eat bad food’ type of neurodivergent

i think its wild that autism is categorised as having restricted interests when i dont think ive ever met a neurotypical person who had anything more than vague positive feelings towards anything ever, or knew anything.

#sometimes i remember that NTs won’t experience the joy of a special interest and i get sad #how does one live life with only vague enjoyment?

I would like to thank Elon Musk for breaking the stereotype that “high functioning” autistic people are geniuses, because he’s genuinely so fucking dumb I can hardly even fathom it.

#He cured my imposter syndrome #i may be an idiot. but i’m not elon musk levels
