What is autism

I get what autism is and how it can work but only really on a superficial level, I don't get it really cause I don't have it.

Autism is a consistent mismatch between how you mean to come across, and how you actually come across. Autism is knowing and understanding every single cringe thing you've ever done, but only months after the fact. Autism is finding out at 34 that expectations of eye contact doesn't mean stare directly and only into their eyes. Autism is the fact that for every specific struggle an aspie has, there is another who excels at it, which only gets used to excuse why you deserve no compassion for your struggle.

Its the consistent self doubt related to every social interaction because you can't tell where lines are or why/when people are allowed to cross them. Until you just flip flop between holding everybody at arms length so that you don't get in trouble for accidentally-ing a boundary and feeling so isolated watching other people figure out how and when to dip into more familiar/friendly territory with others and deciding to say fuck it to the anxious thoughts and randomly stumbling upon a friend who you can finally connect with on more than a superficial level in the mist of 5 people who are now creeped out by you and are trying to convince said friend to ostracize you.

But on a more literal level, Autism is a brain whos subconscious operates purely on flood gates. Emotional situations will trigger seemingly no emotional reaction, unless the neurochemical strength hits past a threshold, and then it triggers all the emotional reaction. Even the ability to read somebody else, some part of you sees the facial signs, but the signals produce no response, until they hit past a threshold, then they trigger a full and sometimes overwhelming response.

And because we can't read other people, we don't see what people can read into us, correctly or incorrect, which often gets us into trouble.

tl;dr: Imagine if your subconscious could only whisper so quiet you can't hear anything or scream so loud you can't hear anything else.

Happy autism acceptance month

Please remember to include level 2 autistics, level 3 autistics, and any medium to high support needs autistics. And to stop being so cruel. We exist and we deserve as much acceptance as level 1 and low support needs autistics do. It hurts to be excluded when it’s your own disorder. We have feelings and emotions.

The late diagnosed neurodivergent experience of being told you're wrong your entire fucking life.

You're too sensitive,

it's not too loud,

it's not too bright,

it's not overwhelming,

you're just overreacting,

it doesn't smell weird,

the texture is fine,

just eat it,

just wear it,

plans change get over it,

stop being so dramatic,

why are you so argumentative?

I was obviously joking,

why do you take everything so seriously?

I'm not yelling,

It's not a big deal,

stop nitpicking,

stop jiggling/rocking,

stop fidgeting,

stop humming/whistling/clicking,

stop talking about that,

no one cares,

you're annoying people,

you're so high strung,

just relax,

stop worrying,

stop overthinking,

just be normal

and then people act all surprised that you grow up to be an insecure, indecisive wreck. What else did you expect me to be when you spent my whole life teaching me my own perception was faulty and couldn't be trusted?

Grooming me to seek approval and validation from others for every decision I made because whenever I made them myself, they were always wrong.

we’re mutuals so i figured I should introduce myself?

hi my name’s bú! I call myself that because I really like caribou and also languages (linguistics is my Thing)

I use any pronouns because I don’t care what other people call me. I’m also autistic so I’m sorry if I come off a little weird

followed you because I thought you were cool and also wanted to help with the 700 count (how’s that going) and I wanted to say hi

Hello, nice to meet you bú :3

I'm an aspie so I would come off a little weird too! Call this equal.

Thank you for following me! I need one more to reach 700

[edit] I REACHED IT!!!

Risk it all

──────── Nov 20th ────────

It started as a rumor, one that he didn’t wanted anybody to know.

Mr. Barnes was a creep, it wasn’t an entire truth but no a lie either, college students weren’t minors, but she, she was everything that was forbidden for him. Already over eighteen but had special needs.

Not the type of need help to use the restroom, but the type of needs on how to speak to people without her sounding room, or anything someone made physical contact, he offered himself to help, what he didn’t knew is that he will end up with him being the only person she allowed to touch her.

It started with small things.

Grabbing his hand when in crowded spaces, hiding behind him anytime she forgot to turn in some work and Mr. Barnes had to go and apologize for it, or just when staying after school for extra clases. It wasn’t a big deal, but then he went farther, farther than it he should have done it.

Small hugs, kisses on her forehead when she got stressed or one of her classmates touched her by mistakes, naughty hand under her skirt, when she went more physical and started to give him full hugs, and it kept going until she gave herself innocently in that the end of class.

He then understood that it will not be easy to leave her alone.

He will risk it all
