one of the things that makes autism a disability (and why some of us choose to label it as such rather than an “alternate neurotype”) is the stress.

part of autism is just being incredibly stressed. overstimulation? stress. holding a conversation? stress. something happening to our schedule? stress. people talk about how often autism is recognized and diagnosed via our stress responses (like meltdowns) because it is just so common to see autistic people stressed because of lack of accommodations to how our brains work.

and this matters because stress kills. stress causes a lot of health issues, or it can trigger pre-existing ones by making certain chronic conditions flare up. i once had a psychiatrist very unhelpfully tell me i “just need to manage my stress” when the stress i was describing was things i could not avoid in neurotypical society and can’t “just get over”. i can do “self care” all i like but i cannot at the very base level change the way my brain inputs information and reacts accordingly.

i only learned this year that loud noises aren’t physically painful for other people. i have lived 34 years in a world in which my friends and family regularly physically hurt me at random just by shouting, and i thought everyone else just thought i was kind of a wimp for not dealing with the pain as well as they did.

like. loud noises physically hurt. it’s like a static shock from my ears to my spine that doesn’t stop until the volume goes back down. i thought we all agreed that ‘that’s too loud!’ and covering our ears meant ‘ouch!’. turns out i’ve been dealing with a stressor almost no one else has, my whole life, alone.

autistic people have to keep functioning through debilitating levels of stress that no one else in their life acknowledges or helps them with. it’s no wonder that their most visible ‘tells’ are breakdowns.

#neurotical ppl dont get hurt from loud noises??? huhhh???

Love the au!! Could we get a full list of the clans and the cats please 🫶

Of course ! First of all, there are currently four dark lands; SpadeClan, WebClan, ScreenClan and PetalClan. Chapter 4 does not have a clan BUT I will explain what’s up with that in a separate post when I explain each dark land. The leaders for each clan in order are Spearstar, Streamstar, Antstar, and Sunflower.

Our three heros of this story; Appleheart, Violetmane, and Peachwish. Three young warriors who are here to fufill a prophecy told by Peachwish to save RuneClan.

I will soon make posts showcasing the clan cats of RuneClan [specifically Appleheart’s family and other certain clan cats] and will soon get into each dark land’s clans so stay tuned !! I already have set designs for most of them so they will be coming soon.

↓↓↓ I made a Pink shimeji!!! ↓↓↓

You can download her files RIGHT HERE!!!

I took heavy reference of Chubbidust's shimejies!! So if you have any of those she is at the same scale as them!

You need to have downloaded the shimeji program yourself, just extract the zip and place her in the img folder of the program and she should be good!

SMALL UPDATE!!!

After the new patch I added in a new sprite for her!! The Google Drive file has been updated!!

The sprite has been added to the pool of reactions she can do when you poke her face as well as a really small chance for her to do it on her own, if you are too impatient and/or unlucky it's also in her actions list!

A few missing pixels in her climbing animations were also fixed

I downloaded her and she is so cutes and she even can make sounds (I didnt know shimejis can make sounds??)

"it's okay, let her stay with them."

This is from the au (?) where susie finds kris and noelles unconscious bodies at the lake

In the context of this piece, she carried them both on her back to the hospital as fast as she could

It's been a few days without either of them waking up but other than kris' sleep deprivation and lack of eating, the doctors cant find whats wrong with them and noelle...

Susie's been keeping them company :)

favorite thing to do is put two fucked-up characters in a room and have one of them talk down the other from a breakdown. flowery and ralsei are good candidates for this!!!
