lukewarm take: you are not radqueer if there are any transid’s you don’t support.

[radically-gangle]

Reminder for transautistics!!

You ARE autistic

You aren't hurting anyone by being autistic

If someone is offended by your identity, it's a them problem, and they can deal

You're helping cisautistics, not harming them!! We're so grateful you exist (we as in cisautistics)

One day, the world WILL accept you for who you are ˃͈◡˂͈

TIPS FOR TRANSAUTISTIC PEOPLE (FROM A CISAUTISTIC!!)

(p.s, autism is a spectrum, it's very different for everyone. Although you need to show a bit of signs, it doesn't matter how you show the signs as long as it looks believable so you can transition!!)

_________________________

1. dislike the texture of a certain food (I personally, do not like sloppy things, but I would suggest disliking the textures of foods you dislike. Claim you do not like the texture. So it looks a bit more believable? Or just choose a random texture you think sucks to you)

2. Have a certain texture you really like. Personally I love fluffy things very much, and that's what I prefer

3. HAVE A HYPERFIXTATION... Although hyperfixtations fuck me up in the head sometimes, it doesn't have to be that way for everyone!! Choose a fandom your in, talk about the subject alot, research on it, make alot of ocs based on it, make alot of references!! OR instead of a fandom it could be anything. Like an anime or a niche subject!! If you lose interest while doing that in the meantime, that's a burnout, that's apart of autism, don't worry!

4. Misunderstand people, (although you don't have to, this is optional as we are all different. I still highly suggest it!) when you misunderstand people you take their tone the wrong way, which is also apart of autism.

5. Safe foods, anything can be a safe food it just can't be the thing you have a sensory issue too ofc.

Examples; nuggets, fries, hasbrowns, bagels, noodles, shrimp, and such. (If any of these are your sensory issues don't consider it your safe food alright? :3)

6. Talk about how autism affects you a lot, online. Talk about how people don't understand you and that you struggle with foods, that you have alot of mental breakdowns, that your hyperfixtations ruin your life due to obsession, that your special interests ruin your life due to obsession (I promise you will genuinely look believable, people always believe the ones who say their experience in autism is horrible. It is a DISABILITY after all ofc)

7. When strangers come by, get anxious awkwardly. Act a bit weird and stuff. (Optional, it can get different sometimes) Or, if you don't have social anxiety, try saying hi to people, basically every stranger you come by to. That's what I used to do before I developed getting so anxious

8. Have a bit of "childish" interests too, plushies, rainbows, and all that shi maybe. While it's "stereotypical", it's still true that some people in autism love these things.

9. TAKE SOME WORDS SERIOUS.

Metaphor example: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse"

Response: "why would you eat a horse?.." and be serious about it!

10. Act a bit emotionless. Not that you can't laugh or be happy, you can laugh if you want. But have an emotionless face, while your brain is being happy, or sad, or whatever, if you want you can kinda "lie" to make it believable too. When your uninterested in a location (playground, restraunt, ect) that your parents/friends are happy about, just say "oh I'm happy I just don't know how to make my face happy very well" (it's not lying, to the norm it is however, that's my easiest way I could say it)

11. HATE noises like sirens, fork screeching, yelling, banging noises, chewing noises (which means no mukbang so if you don't wanna dislike mukbangs do not dislike chewing noises!)

12. Listen, this is gonna sound super crazy but a lot of autistic people love medieval fantasy, hyperfixtation, special intrest or not. They all love it. Try to get into medieval fantasy.

13. Not all hyperfixtations are about loving a certain fandom, it can also be about hating someone deeply. Try hating a fictional character ALOT. Do research on them and talk about how much you hate them. And all that.

14. Say unhinged shi like "yea I used to put grasshoppers in my noodles and choke them with it, then I poked one with needles", awkwardness is kinda key to autism too, this might help to get people to think you show signs of autism (you obviously are autistic since that's your identity, to the norm your "self diagnosed", so obviously don't listen to them)

15. PRESENT AS AUTISM ONLINE.

Nobody needs to know if your lying or not, your not lying. Nobody will know if your transautistic and shit!! So just present as autism online, you don't need to say your "transautistic" either, I suggest doing YouTube and Tiktok slime rants for it too, start off normal, but talk about your experiences in autism sometimes.

17. Bad hygiene, do not shower, have a sensory issue on brushing your teeth and stuff. IF you want. Obviously everyone's different and I don't suggest it, I don't want you to ruin your mental health over tips ofc. unless your transharmful or that you REALLY want to, go ahead you are free to do so.

18. Find simple things uncomfortable. Swallowing, rubbing hands, ect.

19. Misunderstand sarcasm and jokes!!

OKAY, THATS ALL. I might add more tips when I think more, I sometimes forget my triggers surprisingly.

Can we normalize finding some disorders cute?

I find my own tics cute at times. I have a tiny ‘meow’ tic lately, and I wish people wouldn’t pity me for it happening. I do have negative ones, but they’re not all bad.

And hey, my (Friend? Crush?) favorite guy Alex, he’s autistic. I find it adorable. He speaks very formally, but he’s been learning to use slang and speak casually. I love it, he’s adorable! :D

AAC user tips!

puppy will cover diy symbol based card and board aac as well as high tech aac! is free for anyone to take inspo or advice from! if have more questions pls ask! if anyone want reformat in easier to read way, please do! but pls credit or just add in rbs

under cut bcuz long!

There's no wrong way to use AAC! anyone can! as semispeaking part time AAC user, AAC is for everyone!!! now onto the tips....

If want symbol based aac but have no way to get it, consider talking in emojis over text! or if irl, just using expressions! if want text-based, write everything or type and then show other person. btw, discord has /TTS command so you can type and it read what you typed out loud!!

DIY AAC cards: strat 1

Need:

paper

scissors

writing instrument (pen pencil crayon etc)

clear tape

write or draw what u want card to be, cut it out, and cover back and front in clear tape fully. trim edges off and you have card! not fully water safe tho be careful! and make sure pen ink is dry before stickying it! if have hole puncher and key ring, can put them on ring! other option is in envelope or pencil case

AAC card strat 2

Need:

paper

printer w/ ink

OPTIONAL device w/ art program or Internet

lamination machine (cold or hot) w/ sheets

scissors

This how puppy makes cards! design card with art program , or internet site like canva, or get card design online - print out on paper and put into laminator, then cut out! can do same thing with holepunch as other cards!

if made cards with strat 1 can use laminator on them, be careful with hot ones might melt crayon? or if made with strat 2 can put tape on to secure if not have laminator! remember cards can be double sided to not waste paper!

Board AAC strat 1

need:

thing to write/draw/put stuff on

thing to write/draw with OR premaade words/pictures

glue OR sticky velcro dots (tape not work very well)

I think u get it ... take board made of anything, make basically aac cards and stick them on OR draw directly into board! here how puppy does it:

take thing like cardboard from box or smt, draw grid on it, make AAC cards, take sticky velcro dots and line up with squares on board. can add/remove words or pictures at will, just have big bag of words!

if colorcode can make categories of words for easier to find! OR have multiple boards full of different words, and a blank board to make sentence on (or no blank board and just point to words on dif boards!)

Board AAC strat 2

Need:

magnet board w magnets

aac cards

think u understand this too :P just have dif cards that stick to board, if dry erase board can draw the pictures/write on it or circle cards. tbh not best strat but IS one of them!

Text-based AAC

lots of free text AAC! puppy know of apps like speech assistant, things like TTS(text to speech) (like on discord :p) - can also do low-tech and just write what want say on thing like paper or dry erase board or chalkboard, texting on notes app or discord and then showing someone irl OR just texting them normal even if they in the room/in front of you. if you has high tech aac device / proper aac app, plenty offer keyboards you type on!

Symbol-Based hi tech AAC

This where it get tricky. find much better solutions on other posts, but puppy try paws best.

Not many (good) free symbol AAC apps. most are subscription/pay to access. best for beginner is probly proloquo, $12 a month (ish?), has keyboard, word search function, lots of settings and voices, is what puppy uses rn! but many others Not subscription (or at least not fully...) , heard Weavechat is good!

Many aac not run very good on phone, and more not made for devices like computer/laptop/pc. best option for aac is ipad or tablet because many apps on iOS or android. proloquo for example only on iOS. can get good refurbished ipad for less than $300 on sites like amazon or ebay and are guaranteed to work good! best to get ipad still getting updates btw - absolutely do not need newest model, puppys ipad is from like 2020 and still get updates, got for LESS than 200! can even draw on it! - which also good for aac!

puppy hope this post helped!! if any questions or anything to add pls inbox/dms/add on!!
