Pros of wearing a cloak all the time:

Looks cool

Nobody can steal your phone from your back pocket

Billows epically when you walk into the subway and there's a train there

Billows epically when there's wind

You look like a wizard

You feel like a wizard

I once had a pair of little kids come up to me and ask if I was a wizard

Doubles as a blanket if you get eepy

Put up the hood to look mysterious

Hood fits over headphones

Hood fits over big hoop earrings (I don't have these but it's still a bonus)

Perfect if your sleeves are too puffy to fit into your coat

Great for people who have sensory issues with sleeves

Great conversation starter

Great weekend project (if you sew it yourself, which is probably cheaper)

Really warm in the winter (if you use wool fabric)

Keeps the sun off in the summer (if you use a lighter fabric)

SO MUCH FREE SPACE FOR EMBROIDERY

There is a good chance it will boost your self-confidence

Pretty sure it'll do the same with your self-esteem

(Nothing in this life is certain, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something)

Life in an Autism World

oh, btw, i'm gonna sound really harsh here but if you don't wanna wear sun cream because you have sensory issues, i'm sorry but you gotta suck it up or stay inside.

i say this as someone with autism related sensory issues who's never liked wearing sun cream. and i say this as someone who's dad also has autism related sensory issues and would absolutely refuse to put on any sun cream until he learned the hard way and got melanoma (type of skin cancer).

a few hours or even a full day of discomfort is better than months of going into hospital to get your skin burned by dry ice or chemicals. and that's best case scenario. worse case scenario is it spreads and you fucking die.

the sun doesn't care about your autism. it'd be nice if it did, but it's a giant ball of plasma. it's a borderline eldritch god which will bow to no one.

don't be like my dad.

put the damn sun cream on.

Reblog if you understand that disability is not a monolith and two people with the same disability do not have identical experiences ✨
