Not Autism

Avatar from suggestion by feministrocker here. Yeah, that thing you put in the autism tag? It had nothing to do with autism. This is a blog that calls out those inappropriately using autism-related tags, plain and simple.

Okay, so it looks like most of the posts are from the same guy, so... I’m just gonna bow out. Dunno if/when I might be back.

So after working out just now, i was absolutely destroyed and wanted to die so I went to sit in our background shirtless with a bottle of water. (i am completely out of shape btw) but when i was outside there was a ton of steam coming from my body, cuz it’s p cold here 10 degrees. but the point was, i felt hella cool for a second and thought about luffy’s gear second

so then i did that too, and my mom saw me and just gave me a pokerface and walked away. then i realized i was fucking weeabootrash and immediately sat down on a chair outside. this happened. i feel so dirty, anime fucks you up man.

stop anime 2k15

I feel like you think your tagging methods are art, but they’re really just objectively terrible.

...Why is this tagged with autism?

[notautism]

What the fuck is a chromosome thief? Apart from a job in some kind of genetic dystopia???

I think they were confusing autism and Down syndrome.

And then confusing Down syndrome and that dream they had last night where I had a job in some kind of genetic dystopia.

And then confusing that dream and reality.

Gonna see if there’s anything to bonk on the head in the autism tag.

Notes:

I’m only, this time, going for stuff not explicitly related to autism at all. I’m not tagging for triggers because my browser is going to eventually implode, but expect it to be ableist. Because it always is.

shut the fuck off you chromosome thief

Aw, you think you sound smart and awesome and mighty, don’t you!

Aw, it’s so cute when you don’t do research and use insults guaranteed to backfire!

Adorable! OuO

Hey, thanks for calling out people that use autism wrongly. I'm autistic and just thank you so much.

No problem. Sorry I haven’t been around! Maybe I’ll peruse the tag for old times’ sake.

I'm autistic and I was watching a YouTube video where a (NT) character getting pissed off was described as having an "autistic temper tantrum." I thought I was past this, but now there's a part of my mind that won't stop remembering those words every time I try to do stuff like write. No matter how good I get at what I do, to some people I'm always going to be a joke.

Forget them; you don’t need them.

(I am fully aware it can be hard to let go of things sometimes. I still have trouble with things a person I no longer speak to said over a year ago. I guess what I really mean is please don’t let people who would never take you seriously get in the way of people who will or in the way of you doing what you want.)

[notautism]

I feel like you've posted one before, but do you have any good suggestions for autistic organizations to support?

Well... there’s ASAN (autisticadvocacy.org).

Sorry I’m blanking; kinda swamped with school (which, along with mounting health issues and the fact that I didn’t remember where this blog was for awhile until this evening, was part of the reason I wasn’t on here for a bit).

Just wanted to say that "your autism" (bc you keep it in a jar I guess) cheered me up by making me grateful I was born 'abnormal' and like you, and reminded me how lucky I am to have the cool brain function you have that would posses you to make such an incandescently awesome blog. Don't forget to create autistic babies and spread our genes, if that's something you're into (if not that's totally fine too)!

(I love parallel ask structures. They're like little tiny brick jokes.)I don't keep my autism in a jar; that's pretty weird and I don't think I would fit...Nevertheless, I may or may not spread the genes and build an army. I'm pretty sex-repulsed but if it were for some reason required to make a child at some point in time, I might go for it?

I'm tempted to say your last anon was a troll, because that message was so out of nowhere and derailing (like yes, some of us are nasty people, just like some allistics are nasty people - because we're HUMAN BEINGS). Like why did that message even need to exist

I really wasn't sure, so I thought I'd address the point in question instead of my typical goof-off style towards the haters (where I adopt the idea of Ellen Degeneres in the form of "my haters are my motivators"). Better to assume good faith when one is unsure in these circumstances.Now that last guy, which I started answering before I got this message, that guy was a troll. Comes completely out of the blue halfway into my four month long hiatus to try to break me, but instead, I'm feeding off them. XP
