ASD Levels Pride Flags

PT: ASD Levels Pride Flags /end PT

Colors taken from my autism support needs flags (link), while the nautilus comes from @ipso-faculty's autism pride flags (link).

Althought ASD levels and supports needs aren't strickly the same concepts, they're often used interchangably and they're often directly linked, ence why I've choosen the colors of the autism support needs flags as a base.

In @ipso-faculty's flag the shell symbolises plural ideas: stylised verson of the Autism Spectrum Wheel, a fractal-like pattern that reminds the infinity symbols and a representation of our autistic metaphorical shells.

I've kept the same ideas in the design. Though, in addition, the different shades are linking each levels together, to highlight that they're diverse, complex yet an interconnected continuum.

A sentiment I see sometimes, mostly in the high masking level 1 LSN autistic community, is the disdain for all labels about how impaired you are, especially the autism levels and support needs.

A lot of what I see is people saying they're bad, there's no need for them and that they have no use, that they're basically functioning labels and ableist, that we shouldn't be comparing ourselves and each other, and that they somehow don't include high masking people.

None of these things are true, they ignore the fact that often these labels are self-identifiers, and honestly, I think when having discussions on terminology like autism levels and support needs, the voices of levels 2-3 and HrSN people need to be centred. We're the people who need these terms, we're the people who often depend on them to actually communicate our needs, so when people go around saying these terms are bad without having so much as an afterthought about us it is really upsetting and hurtful.

I've seen people say we don't need the terms because we can just explain the supports we need as if it was so easy to do so. Many of us have such complex needs that trying to explain them all the time isn't possible.

Israelis in Canada are urged to stay vigilant, avoid displaying Israeli/Jewish symbols, and exercise heightened caution in public spaces.

Disruptive Orb

Level 2 Evocation

A crackling sphere of unstable force tears through magic itself, rattling focus and silencing spells mid-cast. Wizards feel their control slip as the battlefield briefly forgets how magic is supposed to work.

💬 Would you use this to break a caster’s focus—or shut down magic at the perfect moment?

Pipes; Level 2

“I found a backpack… it was just laying there. I don’t know if was someone’s… or maybe it got here the same way I did… it’s a nice addition anyways… I was walking and I found a staircase… I think this “place”or whatever kind of shit hole this is might be is some sort of alternative dimension or wormhole or something-

I don’t know anything about that- but I know this place isn’t working like anywhere normal. I went down the stairs case and I ended up in some sort of basement? It’s covered in old pipes and it’s this network of concrete hallways… I keep hearing this thumping noise… and I found a broken off piece of pipe. I hope I don’t have to use it on someone… or something…”

it's really i guess interesting to see posts about autism from people who are not very similar to me. i recently saw an autistic person talking about how they became hyper-independent due to issues with social communication. it's very interesting that can also be an outcome of autism. for me, social communication difficulties only contribute to my inability to live independently.

i have always struggled to relate to a lot of the content i have found about autism online, pretty much just because mine is level 2. on the other hand, i have a lot of people tell me about how different autism looks for me than they're used to. i wish our voices were heard more since it is difficult for people to understand why my autism doesn't match their perception of autism.
