Honestly people with EDS/HSD/joint hypermobility are metal as fuck.

I woke up this morning to my left shoulder sliding out of place. Literally sat up in bed, relocated it, grabbed an ice pack and went about making my morning coffee.

That shit would have most people screaming/crying/going to an ER. For us, it's a Saturday morning.

For clarification: I'm asking if your parent is diagnosed or undiagnosed autistic. You can answer this poll if you consider yourself on the autism spectrum, officially diagnosed or not.

And please reblog for higher sample size.

to those people who are like "i cant have adhd im not hyperactive", consider only boys are usually allowed to be hyperactive

Thoughts on Autistic/Adhd Joestars and eye contact:

Jonathan- doesn't mind eye contact, but doesn't naturally make eye contact, and then upon being told he wasn't doing it enough as a kid, overcompensated by doing too much for a while. Managed to mostly figure out how much is appropriate and when by adulthood, but it's never quite natural for him.

Jotaro - NOT A FAN. Uses his hat to block line of sight as much as possible. When he does make eye contact, there's always a Meaning to it, typically trying to get something across without words during the heat of battle or if he just doesn't want to talk.

Giorno - alternates wildly between absolutely none, (particularly when he's scared and trying to appear deferential) and a 'creepy' staring-into-your-soul thing. Can mask it pretty well if he tries, but it's always an effort and tends to err on the side of too much.

Josuke - mostly seems normal in this regard, but finds himself subconsciously more comfortable talking in situations where there's an excuse to not be making eye contact - someone's driving, they're walking next to each other, playing video games, watching a movie, etc.

Jolyne- similar boat to Jonathan where it doesn't come naturally to her but she can mask it. Figured it out slightly earlier due to better resources and less vague and unhelpful feedback.

Joseph- never looks at a single object for more than a few seconds unless he's hyperfocused, if the object is an eyeball or not is immeterial.

If you find autism self diagnosis so concerning, you are more than welcome to send a self diagnosed stranger $2000+ so they can seek a professional assessment.

Be the change you want to see 💖

This disability pride month, let’s talk more about the fact that even invisibly disabled people cannot work full time jobs. Let’s talk about how job hunting is a fucking nightmare, how people expect us to be able to work if we’re able to stand at all, how we’re told we’re not qualified for jobs that would be lighter on us physically but the part-time retail position down the road would “love” to have you until you have that job and you’re calling out more than once a month. Let’s talk about how remote work isn’t always an option, how difficult it even is to find remote work, how classist remote work tends to be. When I say “give disabled people enough money to live, zero required qualifiers, zero questions asked,” I mean it. Yes, even they can “technically” work. Capitalism has poisoned society into treating its members like cogs in a machine, and if one isn’t spinning, the immediate reaction is to throw it out.

don’t know what parent of an autistic child needs to hear this but as long as they’re not harming anyone your kid’s stimming is not a “problem behaviour”

Hey shoutout to

People with “minor” disabilities who aren’t sure if they belong in disabled spaces

People who have rare disabilities and don’t see other people with the same disability, even in disabled spaces

People who’ve been told nothing is wrong with them even though is something clearly wrong that now feel like they’re just making stuff up

People who have been dismissed by doctors because they didn’t fit the image the doctor had of what a “sick” person looked like

People who tried to get help for their problem and are still waiting

People who have unaddressed health problems in general

Y’all are great and deserve the world!
