How it feels to discover that yet another one your personality traits is just another symptom of autism

'They truly complement each other, both are unconventional if in different ways.' Nice summary of Reo×Nagi 💜🖤 Also, Nagi's math skills~ I had to use a calculator...

Reo sounds like a fictional character even to characters from his own universe, that's some kind of record 🤣 seriously though, if I attended school with Reo the first thing I'd do is search for a hidden camera that's recording this real life shoujo 💜

In contrast I don't find Nagi unbelievable, he reads like an autistic teen trying to cope with living. I was the same in high school: just living my daily life tired me out so much my brain was foggy, the world was foggy, and I had no energy to do anything beyond grudgingly tending to basic survival needs when they became too pressing to ignore. To me Nagi's the most relatable character ever, and I wonder if people who can't understand him just never experienced executive dysfunction, fugues, alexithymia, sensory issues and all that lovely NDV stuff. I'm amazed at how polished Nagi's coping mechanisms are, and that he's trooping on even as his support system left him to sink or swim. Teenage me would've just drowned. Nagi is strong and precious and deserves all the love and support 🖤🖤🖤

So let’s talk Apollo Cabin for a moment

Give me an Apollo kid who plays multiple instruments but can’t be a part of the cabin band because being surrounded by that much sensory input makes them feel like their blood is boiling the skin off their body.

Kids who regularly have adults and peers bothering them because “but you’re so talented” and “you’re not using your gift. You’re selfish because you’re wasting it” and “why aren’t you in choir, your voice is beautiful” and “why don’t you practice/perform more” because the people around them don’t understand what Sensory Processing Disorder is and don’t take it seriously.

I want an Apollo cabin that advocates for solo-music as private, personal therapy rather than forcing members to participate in an activity that society has unfairly deemed as purely performative. I want positive reinforcement that there’s nothing wrong with using a talent for your own personal leisure and healing, especially if using that talent in the presence of other people brings you actual pain—that not every godly power and human talent is made as a tool of service to others.

I know we joke about Apollo kids that can’t play an instrument for shit, but what about all of those kids who can play—and love to play—but shouldn’t be forced to do it for other people.

I think one of the most frustrating things as an autistic person has got to be people seeming to acknowledge that you're autistic on the surface level, but seemingly not accepting it any further than that.

When it comes to common, easily identified as autistic things like stimming or taking things too literal, everyone is annoyed but they understand it as "oh, he's autistic."

But when it comes to the deeper, more complex parts of autism, like the fact that many autistic people are perceived as rude because we say things with a certain intention that people do not seem to understand, or that some of us need things to be very direct and to the point without anything left for assumption, suddenly it isn't autism anymore.

Being an autistic adult doesn't just mean that I rock and flap my hands and have hyperfixations.

It means my brain processes information differently and I require certain interactions to be structured a certain way, or else my brain doesn't understand what's going on.

People tell me "I know you're autistic" but then continue to be upset with me over things that are symptoms of my autism, or get onto me for certain types of stimming, or get mad when I understand some jokes but not all and get upset over something I didn't realize was a joke, or tell me that I'm being rude without explaining why it was perceived as rude, or interrupt my routines and expect me to just get over it, or refuse to be direct with me and just say things straight to the point, or tell me that I'm just being difficult over something specific, or tell me that I'm upset over something small, or, well, you get the point.

Autism is much more complex than people want to believe. When I tell you something is a symptom of my autism, do not get defensive as to why it isn't and I'm wrong and you're right. You don't know anything about me or my autism.

So, to end this post, a little message to non autistic people and even other nuerodivergent people who don't fully understand autism; stop telling autistic people what is or isn't their autism simply because you cannot comprehend the complexity of the diagnosis.
