Idk, I have autism, most of my friends have autism, and none of us have ever done nazi shit. It's so bizarre when privileged white people with autism always have "being extremely racist" autism but no poc with autism ever seems to have that. I don't think it's your autism I think you're just a horrible racist.

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

"neurotypicals have this special way of saying 'okay' that makes you feel like shit after infodumping your special interest" anyone can do that actually

This is a comic based on an actual event from my childhood that's been seared into my memory ever since.

The moment you start throwing around a slur as a genuine insult you are no longer reclaiming it. Reclaiming a word involves referring to yourself with it in a positive manner, using it to spread community and trying to remove the feelings of shame around it. If you are using it as an insult you are not fucking reclaiming it, you are just using a slur.

A while ago I read about autistic people and nesting somewhere & I think we don't talk about that enough. Apparently, a lot of autistic people like nesting. I love nesting. I carefully choose a space to build my nest and I bring all my little trinkets there. I surround myself with everything I love and everything I could possibly need in the next few hours- my water bottle, a snack, my weighted blanket, my soft blanket, hand creme, my headphones, my charger, my favorite stuffed animals- so I don't have to leave the nest to get anything. It makes me feel save and calm and like everything is gonna be ok. This is a nesting appreciation post. Any other autistics who love a good nest?

as a disabled person who thinks the vast majority of ai generated content is worthless slop it gives me such agony to see anti-ai arguments that boil down to "if you don't want to write emails and cover letters you're a lazy fuck who deserves nothing" like what are we doing here

I hate armchair diagnosing strangers on tv but every time I glance at this stupid show I cannot help but be overwhelmed with a feeling of 'oh god these people are just autistic. or they just have a harmless weird fetish. or both. leave them alone.'
