Colleen Hoover writing a self-insert cop romance is...NOT what I had on my bingo for 2026. But hey, she's going to make a ton of sales both by die hard fans and people ready to tear the book apart. So it doesn't really matter what garbage she publishes at this point, does it?

yknow, i dont see this talked about a lot within the tism community

if someone youre with stims, whether youre neurotypical or not, at least for me, dont point it out.

i grew up in a world where those sudden bursts of movements, those little actions, the stimming, the anything, gets you strange looks. thinking outside of the box gets you punished. i have learned to be ashamed, and have learned its against public norms (which if you violate those, from what ive been taught, youre a freak)!

im trying to break free from the mindset of “stimming is abnormal and you shouldnt do it in public” (only applied towards myself), and frankly its hard!

so even when a fellow autistic person or maybe a neurotypical points out “hey wow, youre stimming!” “hey you seem awfully happy!” “youre talking a lot today!” “you seem really fidgety!” i immediately get this horrible and burning sense of shame, even if it was meant positively!

i feel like its important to talk about not only normalizing things like these, but talking about the effects this culture has had on neurodivergent people! i feel like we need to hear from people who are still actively struggling to re-learn that its okay to be their own normal, even if it isnt societies normal.

not to trauma dump, but everything i mostly described up there was things that happened to me in the 7th grade! im a freshman in college currently, and frankly ive made very little progress in healing, which is okay! but people should learn and understand that simple things like those effect people for a LIFETIME.

you don’t automatically gotta learn to accept yourself, and that its okay to be ‘weird’ in public! it takes time and a lot of hard work, especially if its been chiseled into the deepest parts of your brain. dont bash yourself for being too shy to stim or too embarrassed in public by it, take it bit by bit!

this isnt really a complaint post because i love seeing all the positivity in these communities as of lately! but do try and be considerate of people who are still fighting their way out of that mindset! maybe take a little second to ask yourself if pointing out someones ND behavior is needed! theres still a lot of shame in a lot of people, including me, and thats an okay thing to have.

be aware of others shame and help them realize its normal to do all those things by not pointing it out! the less you point it out, at least for me, the more normal it makes it

*warthog music playing as a scroll through your rvb tag 😁*

I saw you scrolling and saw you reblogged that.

Let's just say I spent a good minute just sitting there listening to it 😭

The power I hold as an artist, now able to draw many different things. I can create the human version of Bill Cipher I desire.

Not just drawing him as a dorito-

(I knew of twink cipher, I never got into it or drew it- was, not my vibe as a teen-)

((I was not interested in the twink, I saw the old man and knew what I wanted (Stanford)))

How much longer can I go before my parents realize they never actually had a child and I actually came from space and mysteriously joined their family without them realizing. Am I just that good at blending in? Or do they know and just don't care?
