does anyone else do the neurodiverse thing where you’re trying to politely engage in a one-on-one conversation but eye contact is really intense and distracting so you try to make excuses to look elsewhere so you can actually process the conversation better but you know you can’t look at the ground too long or it’ll be weird so you nosedive right in and STARE AT THE OTHER PERSON DEAD IN THE EYES LIKE MHM MHM MHM NODDING ALONG but because you were concentrating so hard you forgot to breathe normally and were lowkey holding your breath but if you look visibly out of breath for no reason that’ll be STRANGE TOO so now you’re breathing through your nose and you can’t look them in the eye so you QUICKLY AND UNNATURALLY LOOK AWAY LIKE THE VERY SIGHT OF THEM DISGUSTED YOU and now every inch of your face feels vaguely out of place and Forced and you have no choice but to leave the conversation immediately

more inverse au. these posts are just me talking to myself but it's okay lmfao

since inverse au is supposed to be an inverse of prsk canon, i realized maybe all of wxs pretends that they're 'normal' 💀 since in canon almost everyone knows they're fucking weird. it's not mafuyu-cation; they still know who they are (mostly). they just don't show it to people.

the spectrum of 'hiding who i actually am' is:

rui - faked the charming schtick so much that he actually thinks that's his personality (self delusion)

nene - plays into being a 'cool girl' (like an) when she's actually a haughty anime girl (proud of being popular for a 'character' she's playing 💀)

tsukasa - king of idgaf island (he's self obsessed with his image)

emu - lets people assume she's painfully shy/doesn't want to talk when in actuality she's just Watching. (people don't talk to her, but when they do, it's like they're talking to a five year old. she lets them think what they want to.)

caelus’ favourite sanrio character is cinnamoroll for anyone who cares (nobody) (i have thought too long and too hard about his love for sanrio) (because it is purely projection. even though our fave is pompompurin)

okay i was gonna end the post there and disappear for the night BUT here’s everyone else’s for funsies. or the horsemen’s anyway i’m not going through EVERYONE rn

Paige’s favourites are My Melody, Kuromi & BonBonRibbon, but she likes most if not all of them in some way shape or form

V doesn’t really have much of an opinion on the franchise or it’s characters, but he does like pompompurin, they think he looks cute + they both share a love for desserts / sweet stuff in general

Jinx claims to not like sanrio at all and tells people to fuck off when asked about it, but really likes Kuromi and Lloromannic. it’s also more of a casual enjoyer of the franchise but is embarrassed about how people would see it if they found out about such an interest

Calling my neurospicy/ADHD/autistic siblings with a question:

How do you walk for fun/exercise?

Personally, I've realized that I actually hate walking? For decades I've been trying to force myself to enjoy going for a quick walk around the block because every piece of advice about physical and mental health says "just go for a walk 😊 it's fun and relaxing 😊 anyone can do it 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊"

BUT IT IS NEITHER FUN NOR RELAXING??!?

I present to you the following:

Every window you walk past has the potential for one or more sets of eyes. EYES THAT COULD BE PERCEIVING YOU.*

Hot. Cold. Rain. Wind. Allergies. Insects. INSECTS THAT FOLLOW YOU (fucking horseflies ugh)

Choices must be made. What clothes to wear? No you can't wear the shorts you're wearing because the thighs ride up. Go change. A hat?? Hats look dumb but counterpoint: sun is murdering your eyes. And shoes?!? WHICH SOCKS ARE RIGHT AND PREVENT BLISTERS BUT AREN'T TOO HOT ANSWER ME THIS

Chronic pain????????????

Okay I'm walking, I'm walking, look at the pavement, don't trip over that drainage grate, don't stumble on the loose gravel, god this is so freaking boring ah shit I rolled my ankle on the pavement did anyone see?? Why didn't I wear headphones but headphones are bad because I'm supposed to be enjoying nature™ and if I wear them I can't hear electric cars and I might get in an accident SHIT I rolled my ankle AGAIN

SO HOW DO YOU DO IT??? Are there tips and tricks? Do you just... not walk? Use a treadmill?? How do you make the treadmill not soul-suckingly boring????

(PLEASE no neurotypicals clowning on this post with any "advice" -- your statements have already been noted and accepted into the record. Autistic/ADHD rebuttals are what is being sought here thanks.)

*Do NOT give me that 'no one is looking at you' BS -- YES THEY ARE. I know this because I watch people walking by, and so does my mom and half the neighborhood.

Grumpus Family Trees (Made by me so obviously unofficial)

(Plus details about all of them!)

I tried to make all of their names as stupid as possible. Filbo isn't a disappointment, the entire family is just like that.

Filbo was pretty lonely growing up as an only child, so having Lizbert as a friend really helped him out socially.

I cursed Wambus with being a middle child because it was funny

Narbus II left the farm to pursue higher education and never returned, something Wambus has never forgiven him for.

The farm went to Wambus after his father died, as his mother was too ill to run it herself. When the farm failed, Wambus left to be with Triffany and Rinbus stayed to take care of their mother. He writes to them often.

Beffica's estranged from her family these days after. Um. All that illegal shit she did. She only kept contact with Jebbia, who she also lost contact with after the Even More illegal shit she did.

lmao

This is the big one. Wiggle, her moms, her four younger sisters and also Greg.

Unlike a lot of eldest children, Wiggle didn't have to help in raising her siblings. They were filthy fucking rich, so Wiggle didn't have to help with anything really.

All of the Wigglebottoms pursued fame and all achieved it. Dazzle's a model, Greg's a makeup artist, Bubbles and Pickles are fashion designers, and Sparkle is an actress. Wiggle's the only one who's failing in that department.

Triffany's parents died in an accident, so she was raised by Bronica alone (she divorced her husband) for most of her childhood.

Her last name at birth having neither of Bronica's names was intentional; she had her name legally changed as she felt much more connected to her grandmother than her parents.

Okay where do I start with this one

Cromdo's parents were both dirtbags who never pursued careers beyond his father working as a gas station attendant.

He left home at 18 and wanted to be better than his parents were. Um. Well we know how that worked out for him.

I gave his ex-wife three last names because it's funny

He remembers his kid's name, obviously. He's just never needed to use it. Where they are now, he doesn't know. it's a mystery. we may never find out what happened to them.

Of course I gave Chandlo two dads, everyone gives Chandlo two dads

I dont actually have anything to say here. Like everything surrounding Chandlo, his family was just chill and normal

The Fizzlebeans were all academics. Phosphorose was a physics professor, and Calciame was a chemist.

Floofty and Snorpy are both estranged from their parents after... the incident.

Shelda was moreso raised by her community rather than just her parents. She's the only part of that community that remains, to her knowledge.

As Yolka's a weird adopted egg creature thing, nobody knows what the hell code she is. Nobody cares because it doesn't matter at all.

Eggabell's mother and younger sister have a condition that removes all pigment from their fur. An equivalent of albinism.

I cooked with the names tbh

I think it would be really funny if Lizbert's entire family were like super boring office workers. Her brother is literally named Boredom pretty much

Borden's around Filbo's age, but he never really played with him and Liz. He was busy being neurotypical

foster cannot train on his holster ( it was too hostile for such merriment ) so he kept his hands pocketed, hands balled against his thighs as if a final resort to keep them occupied. strange, he's only ever known to bury his violence. he's not quite listening but vasco is talking, voice soft at the edges, picking away at the strap of his holster like a blushing scab. velcro rasping. the sound makes cal's teeth feel loose in his gums. VASCO SAYS IT FEELS WRONG. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING FOSTER WILL ACKNOWLEDGE. he's too busy watching his feet move up the gravel ⸺ the sort that wedged loosely into the grooved soles of his boots. one foot in front of the next, counting the steps. he's done it before: walked these roads. walked worse ones. listened to men talk their way around how the world works. lying doesn't feel like anything, anymore. it was just a thing foster did. like pulling a trigger, sopping up the mess after. YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS TO BE THE ONE LYING. because it is his third nature: a man of not-truths. said things he doesn't mean. told lies he wished he could believe. because sometimes lying was cleaner, kept people from looking too close ( lies like: i'll be home soon. lies like: my name is callum foster. ) vasco's still going on about something grotesque. " it's not about how it feels, "

foster tilts his head up from the ground and draws a long breath, lets the cold sear his throat dry. he considers the lies he's told. the ones he's been told. the way people survived by making things sound better than they were. " it's about what it gets you. "

vasco   had   been   fiddling   with   the   strap   of   his   holster   more   than   paying   attention.   it   had   an   interesting   texture.   the   type   of   velcro   that   wasn't   tacky   or   fuzzy,   but   a   clean,   firm   feeling.   vasco   hated   the   fuzzy   velcro.   he's   sure   his   uniform   had   been   mostly   comprised   of   it   at   some   point,   but   trips   to   his   mothers   to   replace   it   and   begging   quartermasters   had   culminated   in   most   of   the   textures   of   his   uniform   being   manageable. 

“huh?”   he   said   once   he   realized   he   had   zoned   out.   “oh,   no,   i   mean.   lying   is   useful,   right?"   most   of   vasco's   job,   if   he   was   honest.   if   he   wasn't   buried   in   a   dirty   pit   with   his   rifle   glued   to   his   eyeball.   he'd   started   calling   them   bunny   holes   just   to   feel   something.   in   an   inventor's   expo   in   moscow,   he   was   lying.   in   a   kentucky-based   chatroom,   he   lied.   he   lies   all   the   time.   still,   his   mom   was   catholic.   genetically-spread   guilt. 

“sometimes,   it   feels   icky,   though,   right?   like   i   get   it.   we   have   secrets.   sometimes   you   need   to   lie   for   the   mission,   or   to   keep   a   civilian   safe.   but   telling   a   miner's   wife   that   he's   already   dead   when   everyone   with   a   radio   can   still   hear   him   choking   on   air   feels   wrong.”   he   paused,   wondering   if   he   took   the   scenario   too   far.   “i   mean,   you   can't   just   take   into   account   how   being   lied   to   feels.   you   have   to   think   about   what   it   is   to   be   the   one   lying.”

So if you wrote essays how how Mario had ADHD and Luigi has autism... how would that affect their relationship? I always thought that those diagnoses were pretty similar, but I find it interesting that the fandom has latched onto the idea that neither of the boys are neurotypical.

Autism (especially level 1 ASD) and ADHD can look pretty similar from the outset. Hyperfixation, rejection sensitive dysphoria, anxiety, and sensory processing disorders are all symptoms commonly connected to both Autism and ADHD. The difference is that ASD is a developmental disorder that effects communication skills and the ability to learn, often leading to repetitive/inflexible behavior. ADHD impacts how well one can concentrate, stay still, or think before they act, often leading to novelty-seeking behavior and a craving for stimulation.

Whether Mario and Luigi both have ASD, both have ADHD, one has the other or both have ASD and ADHD, I think their neurodivergence only serves to strengthen their relationship.

Yes, the desire for familiarity in ASD and the novelty-seeking habits of ADHD may cause some tension, but Mario and Luigi have the advantage of both being very patient, and having been together from infancy. As such, they know each others' quirks and how to work with them.

Luigi keeps Mario organized while Mario helps Luigi socialize.

Mario helps Luigi through his anxiety while Luigi helps Mario through his rejection sensitivity.

Mario is patient with Luigi's embarrassing faux pas while Luigi is patient with Mario's impulsiveness.

Both are more than willing to extend the same amount of help and tolerance they need toward one another. As a result, they elevate each other and help balance out their weaknesses. They also know what it's like to not quite fit in despite their best efforts, which only serves to strengthen their bond.

Oh, also, I really hope that this point isn't news to anyone, but if you don't already have a basic understanding of what it means to develop information security, now is the fucking time.

Critically, I want to see people being responsible in how they interact with:

A) the dissemination of information and the correction or disruption of misinformation

B) privacy related or personal data (of themselves, but ESPECIALLY of others who you could unknowingly harm)

C) pictures and visual media

D) your bodies: not a good time to start leaving traces of yourself where they shouldn't be, e.g. blood, saliva, etc

E) triangulatory/tangential information (you know that guy who can tell where you are by the weather descriptions? That's an extreme example very few people can pull off, but you'd be horrified how little info I need about someone to correctly interpret whole sections of their personal history and data)

F) other people. If you have never formally done so, find a conflict resolution/group facilitation class with a local organizing group or community college. Start learning what healthy boundaries (flexible, but neither porous nor rigid) look like for you. Pick a communication style to cultivate so you can be consistent in how you navigate stressful moments. Figure out what it means to you to share space with others with intention. (And yes, there is no one way to do this, but every one of us will need to find our most secure version, whatever that is, ESPECIALLY those of us who are already vulnerable here due to past trauma, neurotype, TBI, healthcare/wellbeing needs, etc)

I'm a really open book in a lot of ways, and yall might rightly look at that and go "butts you're one to talk about infosec"

And yeah. Yeah. But like.

I know what you know. I made those choices on purpose or at the very least addressed the aftermath of the accidents with intention. I also know what I did to be protective of myself and my info, and you don't know those things. You should know how to do them for yourself though, because it will help you understand why I can have done what I've done over the years and still say this now.

It matters what people know. It matters how easy that knowledge is to revisit. It matters how much of that knowledge is heresay vs documented and verifiable. It matters what contrary information is ALSO known. It matters what interconnected information about OTHER PEOPLE is known. It matters when you haven't said anything at all versus when you said a bit versus when you said a LOT. It matters when you say a lot without saying anything at all.

Information gathering is about putting together puzzle pieces. It's slow work, and it involves a massive amount of resources to do comprehensively and at scale. Information security is about making the gathering process not worth the investment such that the gatherers give up before they are able to put together enough pieces to do real damage. This is what "need to know" means.

For example, in a healthcare practice, it is a HIPAA requirement that access to protected patient info be limited to those who have a clinically relevant reason for accessing it. This means that certain system credentials or permissions will reveal varying amounts of protected information about a person. While one MIGHT be able to put together enough puzzle pieces for certain minor information gathering from early stages (e.g. where someone will be a the specific time of their appt), one likely cannot identify deeper and more vulnerable levels of information (who is the appt with and what is it for?)

This kind of layered buffer is most important when people who AREN'T PERMITTED (permited as in able to do without effective correction/consequence, not permitted as in legally or appropriately authorized to do) to access this info are trying to access it. If someone is permitted (e.g. if person with the appropriate credentials/access permission discloses it voluntarily or if a subpoena is ordered, etc) then the level of access is less protective - they will typically simply access the level of info they need if they will be permitted to.

But there are further layers still of information security. For example, you can tie up a LOT of time forcing authorized bodies to refresh and specify their authorization over and over again, each time appropriately only providing the exact level of disclosure they have required of you. The more specific the information they are looking for, the easier it is to bury so deep down that they literally cannot access it even if they are looking right at it.

I was taught to write documentation "like at any time it could be read out by the patient in front of you, or by another provider asking us to justify a treatment, or in open court by order of a judge". For a year, my supervisor had me write four copies of every piece of documentation I ever made. My personal copy (burned upon completion of the billable note), my "soft note" that removed all protected/identifiable information from the narrative (e.g. names, ages, genders, specific diagnoses/conditions), my "hardnote" which removed anything "heresay" which had been self-reported by the patient unless I could professionally verify it), and lastly my billable note which I understood needed to offer "detailed justificstion" for the used (and named) interventions which cannot be used to work backwards and interpret the originating care conversation.

The only note that ever gets read by anyone but myself is the billable, because they others are never retained long enough to be seen by others, even if they do have the appropriate access. It becomes very difficult for someone to use the hard data they are capable of getting from me, voluntarily or by force, to actually confirm context. This is a similar principle when orhanizers compartmentalize need-to-information.

So start learning what it looks like to cordon off each layer of infosec you're about to implement in your life. What it will look like to grant someone access to a new layer.

Be responsible. We protect us.

Random Headcanon About James Potter that I’ve literally never seen before but I’m obsessed with it

As someone who displays heavily autistic traits herself… I just love the idea of Autistic James Potter

His hyperfixation is quidditch (and transfiguration).

Running his fingers through his hair and fiddling with his snitch are stims

His inability to take social cues is his reason for not being able to take a hint that Lily dosen’t like him - and his ability to be overconfident/stand out amongst others (others think he’s arrogant/cocky/trying to stand out but he’s just being himself lol)

His loving parents made him unashamed of his ’strangeness’ and he deals with his autism in healthy ways because he has a healthy attachment and dosen’t hide it or let it stop him either

He knows what it’s like to be considered strange. So when he sees Sirius the black sheep, the socially awkward peter, and Remus Lupin (no need to say more) he not only RELATES to feeling different but feels protective over them for that same reason. His parents treated him lovingly unconditionally, strangeness or not, which is why he is so keen on treating other’s oddities with the same fierce love and acceptance

Because listen all my friends on the spectrum are the most accepting people - neither of us know what we’re supposed to do so we just improvise and hope for the best and we’re used to neurotypicals confusing us so we don’t care when someone acts strange (to us, most people are weird, so we’re desensitized lol)

His dramatic sense of right/wrong (black and white thinking) is what made him see Snape/Slytherin as evil incarnate, and it’s also what made him overlook Sirius’ greyness (in favour of seeing him as purely good, even if we all know Sirius has a darker side to him bless his heart)

His INTENSE sense of loyalty (not an inherently autistic trait. But let me tell you as someone who is on the spectrum and whose best friends are as well, most of them are ride or dies. I think most of us were raised on fiction and saw friendships on there and took ”loyalty and friendship overcomes all” a bit literally lol)

[transmutationisms]

Why do u think so many people in like 'neurodivergent' spaces seem to simultaneously hold the belief that certain developmental disabilities or 'mental illnesses' arent 'an excuse' to be unable to do certain tasks, act certain ways, or to 'work on urself' or 'be better', in a way that completely ignores people with higher support needs that genuinely cannot do these things,just a complete lack of understanding that some people are not ever going to be able to 'mask' and that no, its not a 'privilege' to be very visibly, obviously considered developmentally defective from a young age..........but also practically worship psychiatry and pathologize every single iota of their behavior, labelling themselves with things like 'demand avoidance' without understanding the context behind these words or who gets nonconsensually labelled with these things, and what it is used to justify doing. I dont know how some people can be so ignorant of the material reality faced by people who get shoved into the 'low functioning' or 'severely mentally ill' boxes (how many autism influencer types have u ever seen bring up sheltered workshops?), but its a massive barrier to interacting in ND spaces for me and a lot of people i know. i dont understand how people who talk about how ADHD brains react differently to meds than 'neurotypical brains' can not understand that like, for example, i cant eat a certain food, i can eat rotten food and food i dislike but not that food, no matter if im starving, I was restrained and force fed that food in special ed and then force fed my own vomit when i inevitably threw up, I would have eaten the food if i could to make that stop! Why is this contradiction so prevalent!!! Anyway love the blog im also having an #ediblenight

well a few things. one is simple moral hypocrisy (accommodations for me, not for thee)

another is that i think many people actually do perceive the philosophical nonsensicality of psychiatric diagnosis (the recursive circle whereby you are dx'd with x because you do y, which is caused by x, which you know because the definition of x is that someone does y, which was based on clinical observation of people doing y and doctors determining that was harmful and therefore indicative of a medical problem, in other words the entire thing's observational but interpreted as providing a causal explanation)--

--they do perceive this as basically nonsense, hence "having x doesn't excuse [behaviour]" but then simultaneously, they have a prima facie credulous attitude toward Science, and toward the claim that psychiatry is Science, and so you get these like nonsense statements out both sides of their mouths where a diagnosis doesn't excuse anything they find morally reprehensible or personally annoying but it does also provide biologically irrefutable explanations for other things WHEN that's convenient for them.

another thing is just that experientially, lots of our actions feel out of our control for like numerous reasons having to do with alienation largely, and when those actions are also stigmatised it pushes people toward the promise of moral exculpation that psychiatry markets itself with, which is a kind of determinism in its strong forms and isn't really compatible with interpreting other people's actions as being intentional or willed or whatever. so again you just end up with these double statements lol , like, a problem with psychiatry trying to claim legitimacy as a 'brain science' is it does kind of counterpose itself to most interpretations of free will. any time you are stuck choosing between moral culpability and biological determinism you kinda already lost the plot & this is something that antipsych people get maddeningly accused of all the time when what we're actually saying is it's possible to be neither biologically diseased nor broken nor immoral for doing the Behaviours lol

[majka626]

A few people asked me to explain my standing on the theory "Homura being autistic" so I will try to bring up some significant points.

Of course given the lack of background for Homura's personal life and behavior (esp prior becoming a MG), you can take this with grain of salt, based primarily on my own autistic traits I can relate to hers, but also everything I've studied about autism from other autistic people themselves.

For the start, even the main reason Homura is my favorite character of all media is that for the first time, I found a character who resembles my autistic traits, personality and struggles (social, emotional, health). She made me feel understood even though she's fictional.

Now to the point;

-I'd start with a question I ask myself: What exactly is 'neurotypical' about her?

The girl is clearly dissociated with reality and lives in a completely different world with different rules than other people or girls her age. She's basically a "black sheep" and an outcast who doesn’t fit in. She also isn’t dwelling on the laws and rules (which I also found out to be common among autistic people who live by their own rules and have lack of understanding for social norms).

Here I talk about her social standing. It's usual for autistic people (including myself) to struggle socially, be shy, socially awkward and anxious, avoid socialization, bad at communication, etc. From what we could see about Homura from the start and given the brief informations on the drama CD or games) that I've heard, she has never socialized - even though the main reason was her health condition she's been born with, due to which she spent a lot of time and childhood in a hospital and isolated from other kids (if I remember right, some of the official material has extended her heart issues and hospital stay). It's true we could easily characterize this as an experiences that led to trauma alone than as something to do with autism, if we'd end it just there.

However, that doesn’t change the fact she lacks social skills, even if trauma partially played a part on it. Plus, autistic people are just generaly more prone to develop a trauma and mental issues in situations they weren't emotionally prepared for.

It's easy to see she was/ is completely terrified or discouraged of the idea of socializing and she's really.. not the best at communicating neither. Then there are the particular details in her communication, like being too blunt, in ways that are interpreted as rude.

Not to mention, she tried so many times and ways, yet she never really found the right way to communicate with others about the issues. Until she felt like giving up.

In summary, her social situation is unquestionably heavily "autism coded".

Next point, her famous love for Madoka. While her love is genuine and real, everyone is well aware it's "obsessive". And you know what else it reminds me of? A hyperfixation. Yes, autistic people can hyperfixate on another person too. Loving someone so much that everything else has little to no meaning in life, not being able to separate that person (or thing) from own mind or struggle to stay separated, the lengths she's able to go for her love, when one based their entire existence and purpose around that person because life without them just "isn’t possible", that's a clear symptom of a severe co-dependence and hyperfixation (the main thing I relate with as a traumatized autistic person myself, who simply can not live without a hyperfixation or a person who lawfully takes care of me and nothing else in life can make me happy and content). Then again, I feel like people ignore why has Homura fall in love with Madoka in the first place and narrow it down to just being gay, even though it wasn’t related with a sexual/ romantic attraction from the start. Homura (just like Madoka) is someone with a lot of self-esteem issues and a good deal of trauma before she even became MG. She felt trapped even by her physical condition (afterall, she didn’t know what it's like to live in a healthy body, therefore felt worthless). She didn’t really *feel* understood and respected by others. Until she met Madoka. Feeling Madoka's sincere kindness and consideration to her feelings, then seeing her in a heroic action to save her life, the first feelings she developed towards her were gratitude and admiration. Madoka has became her idol than anything at first. But with given experiences, the admiration has soon evolved into an obsession, eventually a love at the same time.

In my book at least it's a clear hyperfixation, which is another trait common for autism.

I can eventually add every new details each time they come to mind, or if anyone reading this has something to add as an autism trait I forgot, feel free, I'm interested!

For now these are the most explaining examples I could think of off the top of my mind, and of course it's ok to disagree, especially with given context of her immense trauma that can extremely remind of autism because we didn’t know her prior her trauma (I personally think she's always been going through trauma due to her health issues & isolation and never had a happy life, but that's rather subjective and based on the little I've heard and her behavior).
