I wear many metaphorical hats. I'm a teacher. I'm a published poet. I'm a disability studies scholar, affiliated with a university but not for disability studies. I'm a graduate student in neuroscience. I'm an Autistic advocate, and not only a self-advocate (advocating for myself is often harder than the general stuff.) I'm a blogger.

#autistics speaking day #yesthattoo #autism #actuallyautistic

A blog about everything, but mostly living autistic because I am.

After I taught lab without speech, I felt good. Not great, because I was still reeling from the effects of the event that made me lose speech in the first place, but good. I'd done what needed doing, and I'd shown myself that I could teach without speech.

After I had to leave lab today, I didn't feel good. All too often, autistic people are silenced in conversations about autism by never even getting to be a part of the conversation. It's hard to have a voice (mouth-sounds or otherwise) when absent. And I was absent, because presence was inaccessible. I was silent in an entirely different way than when I was present, literally silent, and still teaching.

If you want that you can start by referring to them as people and not as "autistics". Asshole

I’m going to let the aggression of this ask slide, because I presume you are not familiar with the autistic self advocacy community.

I am an autistic person, thank you very much. I’m not so much an outsider as a person who grew up in the system. I do not *have* autism, or carry it around with me like a piece of luggage. I am autistic and perfectly content the way I am.

The autistic community as a whole prefers identity first language because we do not think of autism as something that can be separated from our person. It’s a pervasive disability that affects literally everything we do and every aspect of our brain. To separate that from ourselves is to see autism as an appendage rather than a neurotype.

You cannot separate a person’s autism from a person any less than you can separate a sexual orientation or race from a person. Would you call African Americans “people with blackness”? No, because race is not something that can be separated from the person.

It’s a case in which political correctness swings back around and starts being politically incorrect again.

Autistic people choose to use identity first language for the following reasons

they do not think of autism as a negative thing

they do not think of autism as a disease

they grew up in a cure culture where everyone acted like there was a different person underneath “autism”

they want to reclaim a word that has been used to harm them

“with autism” implies that autism is a hindrance that holds people back from expressing their true person rather than a part of their person

There are many self advocates I can direct you to.

I’m only mildly interested in Exile but I’m actually really excited for Maura’s book! I really need to re-read The Immortals, but I remember thinking her character was interesting and I’d like to see where it goes!

same? i’m truly excited to have some pieces come together about him, but i’m far more interested in new girl knights post-Kel, for example….

I just want to read about Tris at Lightsbridge. Idc about Tortallan character’s we’ve already met.

Less particularly about it, more about “It’s next let’s get it so we can get the stuff after it.”

I’m mostly looking forward to hopefully some real cool world-building wrt the Carthaki Empire

More info about Carthak would be nice, yeah, I feel like we didn’t learn that much about it in The Immortals? But yeah other than that I’m just like, why... I’d much rather have the Tris at Lightsbridge book or something about one of the future lady knights. I guess I’m just gonna have to wait. :/

Re: Maura I think she’s pretty different from the normal YA fantasy heroine, so that’s cool, her character type just isn’t one that normally appeals to me tbh

Enlightenment. And yeah, omg summoning. 81 crafting needs happen for ornate bowls lol

yssssssssssss enlightenment

I'll just need to plan out how to use it so I can maximize the percentage of the two hours that's actually experience gains. Construction is expensive as all hell... Summoning is worse than expensive as hell, what's that super-fast Taverley method I think I saw sonicrs3 mentio-- it's the sell-noted-secondaries-to-shop-and-buy-back-unnoted thing isn't it...

maybe herblore, i can bank enough for 2 hours worth of potionmaking and then boom boom boom boom BOOM oh god all skills 85+ is fundamentally incompatible with having a 10m+ cash pile by the end of the month

i could punch monkeys for one of them... how many potions can be made in an hour?

that's like... more than a 99. shit.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyup

Could totally do it. Got 7m in a month once, that was August 2013. And I got nearly 2 million in Divination in less than two weeks in that same month, though I'll admit Div's a fast-training skill in general. I can totally do this.

yesthattoo replied to your photo: “Did say I would, after all. And I was like 14k away anyway.”:

I need to get 81 crafting lol.

Heeheeheeeeeeee.

I wrote out the ideal things to do for each thing I need to get 85 in. Some of this is gonna hurt my poor pocketbook. Fingers crossed for a waterfiends task before I get 85 Slayer, because I'll need to kill 'em anyway for enough crimsons...
