Autistic Survivors

If you told a child,

“Stop smiling. It’s weird

and ugly, you’re embarrassing me.

Don’t smile when we’re out in public.

You’re being a nuisance”

And grabbed their jaw and forced their mouth into the shape you wanted it

That would be abuse//

If you told a child,

“Stop laughing. Why do you have

to make those strange noises?

It’s annoying. People are staring.

You’re making a scene”

That would be cruel//

If you told a child,

“I don’t understand. You can hold

your breath underwater; swimming to the bottom of the ocean

shouldn’t be so difficult.

You’re being uncooperative.

Stop making excuses”

That would be ridiculous

Never mind that most people were born with gills and strong fish tails//

If you told a child,

“Stop avoiding pain. You need to

jump into these pits of spikes and venomous snakes.

Everyone else does it fine. If you can’t look directly at the sun

and concentrate in a room of voices and noises at two hundred decibels

you’re being rude. Running for your life is offending the bloodthirsty lions.

Say sorry to the lions, right now.

And look at the sun while you do it”

And then pushed them into the pit

And said you were proud of how many scars they got by the time they climbed out

Well, that just sounds insane

Never mind that most people were born with armoured skin//

But because we smile and laugh and focus

By flapping our hands

Rocking, yelling, tapping, spinning, fiddling, chewing, running, bouncing, watching, listening

Because our pits of snakes and barbs are parties, schools, busy streets

Therapy offices

Because the world is made of lions that stab their claws into our eyes, up our nostrils, roar in our ears and cause every nerve in our skin to flare up in pain, shred us through to our very souls

Because eyes burn like the sun

Because we‘re still forging our own armour of unspoken rules and expectations

And some of us have to wear that armour every second of every day

So tight it hurts to breathe, until we forget movements that aren’t stiff and uncomfortable

Because we’re still inventing our own aqualungs and bathyspheres

And breaking our own diving records

You get to call us freaks

And applaud our scars as progress//

But we are surviving, and learning

We know the way we sit or move, or where we look, can’t hurt you

We know abuse when we see it

We know our rights

Autistic, not ill

People, not puzzle pieces

At the end of it all, we have stared into the sun and not gone blind

We fight off lions daily

We have survived

And now we are going to live

Good stuff.

This. This is good fiction writing advice. I really appreciate how it was formatted as “this is a common problem, here is a solution to try in your own work” and not “oh god, don’t do that!” without any extra help. And I extra appreciated the “don’t rely on adverbs” bit, because they do have their place but they aren’t the only way actions can be emphasized.

CPD just killed a fifteen year old child.

thatyouare

a fifteen year old black girl was shot four times in the chest by columbus police in columbus, ohio.

as derek chauvin was found guilty, a black child lost her life to police.

we still don’t know her name, but we’ll scream it the minute we do.

thatyouare

“well that can’t be worse”

except it is.

except this child got jumped by the other girls present. she was afraid for her life enough to grab a knife and call the cops herself.

let me repeat that.

the black child that they killed was so afraid she called the cops herself.

they killed the very person who asked for their help.

and before you flip over the knife, they didn’t even ask her to disarm. they got out and immediately opened fire on her and shot her four times with deadly intent.

thatyouare

did y’all think i was kidding.

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Columbus Police said one person was killed in an officer-involved shooting on the east side of the city Tuesday afternoon.

thatyouare

her name is ma’khia bryant.

i’m such a small blog but i’m begging y’all to spread this story. i can’t speak directly to this- no matter how hurt and angry and thrown by all of this i am, my voice isn’t the one that matters. i recognize that. but i’m still begging for this to not be overlooked. say her name, remember her- remember that this fight never ended, and keep fighting it.

derek chauvin being found guilty is a victory, but we can’t let that blind us to the fact that this has kept happening and never actually stopped. even if the protests went quiet, that doesn’t mean things changed. we have to hold them accountable and we have to remember those who have died and will continue to die beneath the shadow of everything else that’s happened this year.

my heart is going out to her family.

rest in peace, ma’khia.

Oh Mary contrary how does your garden grow

Come with me and you'll be the seventh maid in a row

My answer was laughter, soft as I lowered my head

You're too late. I'm afraid this flowers already dead.
