So, spell check can turn that jumble into a real word but whenever I try to actually type an easy word correctly, such as 'burrs', it automatically changes it to something else. (In this instance I was trying to explain something about the coffee grinder burrs and spell check kept changing it to butts)

Shoutout to autistics who experience emotions intensely

To the autistics who cry over “little things”

To the autistics who get so happy they flap and bounce and squee

To the autistics who have to work so hard to control their anger or who can’t

To the autistics who don’t know what they’re feeling but feel it strongly

To the autistics who have panic attacks easily

To the autistics who are “over emotional”, “too sensitive”, “weird”, or “irrational”

You experience the world intensely and the ways you react to that are valid. There’s nothing wrong with reacting to emotions as long as you don’t hurt others. You are not too sensitive or too emotional, you are exactly as you should be and that is valid and that is good.

Live authentically

Live radically

Live autisticly

We need to talk about the fact that autistic men can get away with being “rude” and having aggressive outwards reactions to a much bigger degree than autistic women because while men are allowed to be loud and rude and take up space, autistic women are being socialized to be quiet and polite and take up as little space as possible. Autistic women are being forced and penalized into conforming to the sexist, neurotypical norms for how a women is supposed to act and as soon as we manage to conform, we are being told that we can’t be autistic because we don’t act exactly like autistic men. Sexism and socialization plays a major role in why women still aren’t being diagnosed with autism at the same rate as men and we need to talk about that.

If you're looking for a wholesome, heart-wrenching yet very heart-warming movie, this is it. Amazing acting, brilliant screenplay, fantastic cinema photography just the most amazing movie I've ever seen. Mind blowing. I've never cried so much in a movie theater in my life.
