Why do my friends think my driving is so bad I think I’m doing fine

[thejoyofcode]

AHHHHHH THIS IS SO RELATABLE

ADHD culture is

Wanting to do EVERYTHING but not having enough time so instead doing absolutely nothing.

HOLY SHIT TAZ

No spoilers but if you haven't listened to this week's episode you're in for a treat. Also, if you don't know what the monster is that they're facing please do yourself a favor and Google it, because the lore Griffy has stuck to is legendary

Chronic Illness flare clinics need to be a thing.

They need to have holistic chronic illness clinics. You can go to them while you’re in a flare. They have low sensory rooms with soft beds and low light tv’s. Have doctors to administer flare reducing meds/pain meds, but also have holistic professionals like massage therapists, acupuncturist, mindfulness workers, etc etc.

Basically so that you’re entire body and mind can heal because the reality of this is mind and body health need to be aligned.

This is especially necessary because going to an ER for a flare can be so terrible and increase the intensity of the flare. It’s so bright and you have to wait for hours to be seen by doctors who let’s be honest don’t specialize in chronic illness, and are trying to jam in as many patients as they can because of being over capacity.

This is what healthcare would look like if it was designed by the sick.

Healthcare designed by the sick

[the-twitchy-life]

WHAT AN IDEA.  Asking people what they want, then giving it to the people who need it, in a way that they can benefit from it.

This is why I fight for socialism.

One of my favorite parts of being autistic is I’m endless fascinated with pretty much everything. I just love finding out how different things work, what they’re made of, how things go together, all the little details like that. And of course this is true for my special interests I also find its true for many things outside of that. I’m always taking in information and details and retaining it all, and I love it.

[thejoyofcode]

This is the most relatable post of all time

[analogueswords]

Autistic children are not infants.

Autistic teens are not toddlers.

Autistic adults are not children.

Your 23 year-old autistic cousin does not have “the mind of a 7 year-old.”

Stop calling autistic men “buddy.” Stop calling autistic women “sweetie.”

Don’t act like it’s a crime to swear in front of an autistic adult.

Don’t assume that because someone is nonverbal, they can’t understand what is going on. ESPECIALLY don’t assume that they can’t communicate at all.

Stop infantilizing autistic people.

I am autistic, and I have Auditory Processing Disorder. If there is a conversation on one side of me and you're trying to talk to me on the other side, I will not only not be able to understand you, but can't organize my brain to respond. If you want to talk to me, do it somewhere quiet.

Mom: So what happens if you're not dating anyone?

Me: ........wh-

Mom: You're on Stand-Bi

Anxiety and POTS are two completely separate conditions. If you don’t know the difference, kindly shut your face hole, and keep your advice to yourself. Yes, doctors, that includes you! :)

Truly a glorious find. I love the internet

You’re like PERFECT! Reminder to all my cripple punks that you are strong, you are unique, and that you are powerful! 💪♿💪

[coffeeandtheartist]

An important reminder 💊

[ID: Handlettered text reads, “Remember to take your meds”. The text is surrounded by colorful pills.]

[palpablenotion]

autistic culture is being “an old soul” when you’re a child and “too childish” when you’re an adult

[thejoyofcode]

THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE THING I HAVE EVER READ.

[chronic-confessions]

Confession #3,836

I am done with anyone who thinks disabled people should be grateful to receive any care or funding, regardless of whether it actually meets their basic needs. Revolutionary concept: all humans deserve food, a home, hygiene basics, and a comfortable existence not spent in life-limiting poverty. Nobody is “blessed” to have less than they require to live. Nobody should be made to feel like a whiny, entitled child when they have to ask for more to survive.

[autistic-culture-is]

autistic culture is getting an intense desire to eat thick/frozen paint because it just looks like it’d feel So good in your mouth

IF YOU CANT HANDLE ME AT MY WORST, JUST REMEMBER THAT I HANDLE ME AT MY WORST AND THAT MAKES ME STRONGER THAN YOU

[myneurodiversity]

Oh my goodness this makes me feel powerful I hadn’t even thought of it like this.
