i wanna know abt other ppls “weird” hyperfixations. and i dont mean a fictional character or a series or anything some ppl would think are cringe. i mean the hyperfixations on things that u had absolutely no interest in before and it doesn’t really apply to u but suddenly u just had to know everything abt it. for example when my sister got pregnant i absolutely needed to learn everything there was to know about pregnancy and birth. i watched all kinds of birth and pregnancy vlogs. ppl talking abt their symptoms during each trimester, hospital birth vlogs, at home births, water births, c sections, twin and triplet and even quintuplet births, videos abt what ppl packed in their hospital bags and which of those things they actually ended up using at the hospital, signs and stages of labor, etc. i even looked into phantom pregnancies a little bit. i did that for the whole nine months that she was pregnant. there were things that i knew abt pregnancy that she didnt even know and she’s the one that was having the baby. another fun rabbit hole i went down once was the history of embalming. like did yall know that thomas holmes (the guy who invented arsenic based embalming fluid which is what was used up until 1910) also had a second invention that was a 2-in-1 sleeping bag and body bag but that one didn’t really take off like the embalming fluid. he also had a shop where he sold root beer and embalming supplies. anyways if u have any hyperfixations like this reblog if u want to bc i wanna know what they are lol

Mute people are humans worthy of respect.
Non-speaking people are humans worthy of respect.
Semi-speaking people are humans worthy of respect.
People with disorganized speech are humans worthy of respect.
Deaf people who don't speak are humans worthy of respect.
Autistic, disabled, mentally ill and all of it. We deserve to be treated like and thought of as real people with as much to offer as other humans. The lack of speech doesn't make us "useless" or "stupid" or "like talking to a lamp." Mute people of any kind have just as many thoughts and feelings and actions to offer as those who speak.
Life is still worthwhile and peace and happiness are attainable for us. We will find people who care to make the effort for us to be understood. You will feel yourself breathe softly again some day. You deserve it.

Where are all the "slow" kids, the challenged kids, the burnouts from birth, the burden to have in class? Where are the autists who can't mask, who self harm, who are loud and can't stop stimming? The NDs with processing disorders, brain damage, brain fog? The ones with down syndrome, FAS, and other conditions that people treat like curses or defects. I hardly ever see them past 18 and I know they don't just dissolve once they become adults.

What is it about middle school “mean girls” that makes them so much better at spotting undiagnosed autism in their classmates than parents, teachers or doctors…
Because I swear they clocked me INSTANTLY

All of you complain about overstimulation and sensory overload
We need to talk about under stimulation. I’m not saying I want to be overloaded with information. No I mean when I get panic attacks because there is not enough self stimulation in a situation. I have to walk out of meetings to pace around and think to calm myself down because my fight or flight response has activated from being not being able to stim.
I get so anxious when I cannot listen to music or have something playing in the background because I need stimulation that I choose to have and which I have control over
It physically hurts my brain.

when i was in middle school i had a teacher that made fun of me for not talking and for shrugging my shoulders when i didnt know the answers to the questions he would ask me and there was one day i got so annoyed that nobody else in class knew the answer to the question that was right there in the book so i raised my hand and answered and everybody acted like i just solved a murder or something 😭😭😭
also at the end of that year we had this award ceremony and i got one single award called the “quiet as a mouse award” and i was the only student who got that award 😭 getting bullied by other students for being autistic already sucks enough but to also have grown ass adults bullying u is absolutely insane lol
shoutout to that teacher who told me that shrugging my shoulders was disrespectful

Most "crazy hamster deaths" stories are like. I put my hamster into a microwave or flung it or let it wander around my house near dangerous furniture. And somehow people think that's normal and not the owners' fault
