Good VS Bad Autism Tattoos

Many people in the autistic community view the puzzle piece as a hate symbol because it implies we're not whole people. We're missing pieces and we're problems that need to be solved. Which is why a lot of us gravitate towards the infinity sign instead! It comes in both rainbow (for neurodiversity) and gold! As the chemical symbol for gold is Au.

A big autistic trait of mine is that I’ve always toe walked- to the point that I’ve never been able to walk “properly” and I had numerous doctor and hospital appointments as a kid only to be told “there’s nothing we can do” and “she’ll eventually grow out of it” lol I never did. One time I even had my legs in casts for 6 weeks, anyway I can only walk in heels or wedged shoes and thought that’s great I can now mask it but recently two people have made comments about the way I’m walking and now it’s constantly on my mind when I walk and I’m so over sensitive about it now again, I’m right back to my childhood always being shouted at for it and bullied for it 😣 It doesn’t bother me as much since my autism diagnosis but I always think everyone’s staring at me all over again

I didn't want to have to endure any more surprises, so when I was twelve I resolved to expose myself to everything quite voluntarily until nothing was left undone, nothing could surprise me. I would lay myself open to absolutely everything, everything imaginable. I would be part of everything once, and so be ready for everything. Intuitively, I had realised experience was necessary to my nervous system. I saw that as I was unable to transfer knowledge automatically from one area to another, I had to have experience of every conceivable situation in order to be able to prepare for it. In time I almost forgot my resolution, but subconsciously I stuck to it. Over the years I was to have a great many unpleasant and destructive experiences. The resolution almost kept itself—all I had to do was go with it as it rolled along. The more I saw, the more I wearied of living, and in this way I laid myself open to more and more destructive things.

Demon trying to feed on my insecurities: "You're a bad driver"

Me: "Of course I am. I hate driving. Going 80 mph surrounded by tons of metal is nerve-wrecking. I try to do it as little as possible. Of course I'm bad at it"

Demon: "You're a bad writer"

Me: "Well that part's simply not true. I never claimed I was the greatest author of my generation, but when I put pen to paper I know what I want to communicate and I usually do it well. If someone isn't impressed with my work, that's unfortunate but they're entitled to their opinion"

Demon: "You're a bad leader"

Me: "Well I don't know about that! I mean there was that one time when... Ok look just because people don't see me as an authority figure doesn't mean... 😠 You know you can be a real asshole, demon!"

Honestly I can’t stand New Year’s Eve, all the stupid pressures people put on themselves and the pressure to celebrate when parties are torture to me but I want to wish all my Tumblr friends a very happy New year as coming back to Tumblr has made me very happy ❤️

Thank you Tumblr for being my happy place, my safe and cosy place where I can fully be myself and surround myself with the things I love. All my life I’ve tried to “fit in” to be someone I’m not- yes that changed a little after I was diagnosed as autistic but ever since I was a teenager I was told “you’re too old for that now” “you need to act your age” “you should be doing this” etc but I’ve come to realise there’s nothing “wrong” with the way I am and the things I love. Life is different for us all, there may be a lot of things I haven’t experience due to basically having no social skills, from being labelled “weird” and loosing a lot of so called “friends” but my special interests have been what has made my life worthwhile and the people I’ve connected with online. basically because of tumblr I’ve learnt to be myself more and that it’s important to accept myself. I’ll always have self esteem issues and struggle with confidence but I’ll be okay 🙏🏻

Standing Up Against Bullying: Supporting Neurodivergent Kids | Media Reaction To Neurodivergence

Thanks for revisiting the "Everything Neurodiversity" channel. In this video, Robert Bernstein and Marcia Eckerd discuss an incident during the Democratic National Convention where Tim Walz's neurodivergent son poured out his love and pride for his father. Unfortunately, some adults in the media responded with hurtful comments, calling him weird and a beta male. This kind of bullying towards neurodivergent kids is unacceptable. Neurodivergent children face three times as much bullying as others, leaving deep emotional scars. It's time to take a stand against bullying and support these amazing kids. Join us in raising awareness and creating a more inclusive society. Please subscribe 🙏    / @everythingneurodiversity  

Robert Bernstein and Marcia Eckerd express their concern about an incident at the Democratic National Convention, where Tim Walz's neurodivergent son was seen expressing pride in his father during Tim's acceptance speech.

They highlight the overwhelmingly positive reaction from most viewers but criticize certain media figures who made derogatory comments, calling the child "weird" and a "puffy beta male." The speakers emphasize that neurodivergent kids face bullying three times more than others, which leaves lasting emotional scars.

They stress the importance of supporting neurodivergent kids, noting that while Tim Walz's son will receive support, many others do not, leading to further trauma. The key message is a call to action for everyone—kids, parents, teachers—to stand against bullying and support those who are different.

Tuesday April 11.

Autism Acceptance Month.

Today is Tuesday, April 11, which means we are eleven days into the 30 blessed days of #autism acceptance month, 2023 (previously known as #autism awareness month). April is the month and April 2nd is the day—World Autism Day, to be precise—and these first weeks of spring are a time for uplifting autistic voices of all identities, advocating for acceptance, progress, and sharing in the community's joy. It began back in 1972, as National Autistic Children’s Week, and was founded by The Autism Society to raise awareness and campaign for change in communities, schools, medical facilities, and businesses. And this same vital, wonderful work continues today, and not just for the month of April, of course—but every day of every year. The lived reality is that every day of every month is Autism Acceptance Month, and it is on all of us to do better.

Progress has been made, but there is still so much to be done in the struggle for equality and justice for all those living under the broad church of autism. And if these words sound hollow, then simply read the moving story of Debra Vines, of The Answer Inc., and of her autistic son Jason. She articulates everyday struggles that families can face, and the many joys they experience, too. Her message is simple, but powerful: don't give up on milestones.  

Want to know more, get involved, or donate? Here is just some of an impressive selection of charities sourced by the fine people at the Applied Behavior Analysis Programs Guide, where you can find the complete list of 20 charities and organizations:

The Asperger/Autism Network

The Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network

Autism Research Institute

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network

The Autism National Committee

Happy Tuesday, folks, and here's to better.
