chronic pain is so fucking evil what do you mean it doesn’t stop

"I love freaks and weirdos and strange people and people who don't conform and behave oddly because they can't mask all their symptoms and-" you guys genuinely can't even handle it when an anxious person uses a script in a conversation

every so often on here some edgelord will be like “oh you can’t order a meal ? Make a phone call ? Write an email ? thats so fucking cringefail hahaha get it together 😆 … im also autistic/disabled so thats not a good enough excuse.” And then it gets a surprising amount of notes from people who are capable of doing these things…. um you are just laughing at and belittling anyone less functional than you or with differing struggles and needs. As if autism isn’t a spectrum disorder and disability itself a much larger spectrum… anyway you can still be ableist if ur autistic btw…

Sometimes I just realize that folks probably consider some of my ideas Uber Radical but genuinely it almost comes from a place of me prioritizing bodily autonomy over nearly all else and not really giving a single fuck what people choose to do with their own lives

'you like sunshine x grump? I'll do u one better: ADHD x Autism 🥺' shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up forever.

The three mental illnesses are

Terminal child syndrome lol sorry you'll be infantilized forever and never get any basic respect we have the right to not treat you like an adult and make life worse for you in the name of helping, or shun you completely :)

Just stop doing that you useless cunt go the fuck outside and stop being a burden to society get the fuck up and stop having this illness. Have this list of pop psychology bullshit and get your shit together. We can still romanticize your struggle if you're hot and manage it just well enough to not be a useless cunt

Irredeemable piece of shit disorder uh sorry but your vibe is off and you should go to jail for it I fucking hate you and you deserve nothing you vile piece of human garbage you need to be avoided at all costs everyone should cut you off immediately no one should have to put up with you you manipulative asshole

tiktokers when autistic people bang their head on the wall and repeat words and walk weird instead of just being rly interested in minecraft

I know where the knee jerk reaction of 'autism is NOT like on tv!!!!' comes from. I get it. I really do. Autistics tend to be portrayed as these cold, frigid, unfeeling monsters who are weirdly abnormal and will never love you. These things poor allistics have to put up with, what a pity.

But, come here a second. You do know some people's autism Is like that, right. Some people are very childish, or have 0 empathy, or scream and yell when touched. Everyone's experiences with autism looks different - that's why it's called a spectrum.

So next time you plan on doing a post about 'autistic stereotypes vs real autism', remember some people are stereotypical. You're not sticking it to the man by saying no autistic person acts like that, you're just proving you have a very skewed experience with autism, and that you only expect other autistics to behave like you.

it's so funny to me when i see pearl-clutching articles about how "teenagers are diagnosing themselves with mental disorders via tiktok" because like. this is not happening in a vacuum. teenagers are severely and i mean severely medically neglected. i cannot stress this enough. teenagers do not have free access to medical care. those same news outlets would be clowning on women with housewife psychosis in the 1950's.

i sometimes go pale when listening to some of what my friends have gone through in their childhoods and teenagehoods. they talk about it so nonchalantly, things that would be considered straight up torture if done to an adult, can't fathom the effect this has on children. they are on multiple anti-psychotics and several antidepressants and anxiety meds now that they are adults. medical neglect has legally and effectively disabled them. a timely diagnosis and intervention could have saved them. of course teenagers are self-diagnosing using tiktok. if your knee-jerk reaction is to scoff at the idea and dismiss it as dumb teenager shit instead of being radicalized because the best shot young people have at attaining the mental health support they need is a fucking dancing videos app, you're categorically a political enemy of the youth.

You think animals need to be useful/visibly beneficial in order to be allowed to live? How interesting! Quick what's your stance on disabled people that don't have jobs and don't 'contribute to society'.

My commissions r open! I need to edit the doc to include better sketch/lineart examples, but other than that it's pretty accurate.

I'll take up to 10 slots but Might change my mind

want people remember life shortening disorders n diseases n disabilities & terminal illnesses (including genetic ones) & etc when talk about disability

like ones that. once symptoms start, typically have 1 or 3 or 5 years to live types. (like ALS)

ones that. slowly rob you of mobility & bodily functions & die in childhood or teens type. (like sanfillipo)

genetic death sentences

etc

not to be like. pity or anything but to remember there more to disability than like. the common “suck ass impact life lots maybe chronic maybe life long but still able be relative independent & not life shortening or terminal” type online disability community most talk about.

n maybe these people. may have different relationship & feeling about their disability than you.
