So this 30 year study on attachment styles just came out and it shows that childhood friendships play a crucial role in platonic and romantic attachment in adulthood.

This isn't new information for me as an autistic person, but it is validating to see it acknowledged in a study. I see and hear autists and ADHDers talk about this all the time, about how traumatizing it is to be subtly and overtly excluded as a child.

It's one of those "well yeah obviously" study results that are still important to have. I'd love to see more studies on childhood friendships, especially focused on autistic and ADHD kids growing up.

Okay, I haven't finished season three yet BUT I want to say one thing about Umbrella Academy.

They did such a good job of representing autistic over-stimulation through Harlan Cooper.

I have never seen sensory issues portrayed as well as they have been in the scene where Harlan is on the bus - when he put his music in his ears I nearly screamed because that's me.

Just seeing him listening to the sounds he enjoys to calm himself down was so beautiful and such important representation. I've never seen a show do that.

Obviously he isn't the perfect example of an autistic person because he has superpowers but, as far as representation goes, I like how they portrayed his meltdowns.

I’ve never really spoken out about this so…

As an autistic person, I want to wish all my fellow autistic creators and bloggers a happy autism awareness month! and for everyone to remember:

•autism is a spectrum

•autistic people come in a VARIETY of different shapes, colors, and ways of thinking

•autism speaks is a HATE group

•light it up blue is based off a very hurtful and SEXIST STIGMA

•autistic people can have underlying mental illnesses and they AREN’T making it up

•stimming isn’t always arm flapping

•not all autistic people stim, and you don't have to be autistic to stim

•not all autistic people are born mute and are “awkward”

•but some don’t speak and stick to themselves, which is okay, and shouldn’t be viewed as AWKWARD or SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE

•LGBTQ+ autistic people EXIST

•all autistic people are LOVED and VALID

And just for a little fun,

Remember the bunny sloth (picture at top) is also CANONICALLY AUTISTIC and loves you too and is here for you. 💗
