#autism for ts

[brennacedria]

I wish my insurance would cover the psychologist and/or therapist who work for my psychiatrist. For God knows what reason, though, neither of them are on my list. I'm not looking for something consistent or long-term; I want testing and just the option to have visits when I'm having problems that don't necessarily need med changes.

I've mentioned before, I'm fairly confident in my doctor's diagnoses for me. But it feels odd bringing up potential ADHD or autism with him. Part of it is that I know if he agrees on ADHD he'll want to medicate for it, in spite of huge reactions I've had to stimulants in the past. The other part is that he'll be (at least somewhat) biased, since he's been seeing me as a bipolar/GAD/BPD patient for ~10 years. He has no reason to ask the right questions for these specific possibilities.

Also, well... I don't want Brian to be there for these conversations. I massively need him for med follow-ups, though, because he can report things I've forgotten as well as what he's observed. If he's there for conversations about possible ADHD or autism, he's going to blow it off as tumblr's influence. Which I mean... Maybe. Idk. An appointment with a psychologist/therapist would be a natural way to exclude him and bring up any evaluations later as being "based on a third party" and completely unrelated to my own Internet research.

Edit to add: other psychologists are covered by my insurance. Just not the ones at my existing doctor's office and I'd be more interested in going to someone who works directly with my doctor.

left brain right brain, adhd autism. you. you get it.

[energetically-exhausted]

so, apparently, in March, i came up with a Logan headcanon and never told anyone about it??? basically, what if Logan made note cards, but instead of phrases and slang, he wrote tone tags? both to remember all of them, and to use them in conversation, as he struggles with tone (another headcanon of mine).

i became really excited about it recently, and wanted to execute it in some way. so.

OH, ALSO. feel free to suggest more tone tags if you'd like to see Logan with them! it's super easy for me to edit!

Wish I had the intelligent, successful autism but NOOOOO. AUTISM OVER A FICTIONAL CHARACTER FROM A GAME NOT COMING OUT UNTIL LIKE NEXT YEAR 🙄

[[ this wasn’t made with the intent to attack people with autism (such as myself), rather just a couple jokes depicting my personal struggles in a lighthearted way. ]]

"If...Then..."

... IF Logan has autism... THEN-

[neurotypical-sonic]

I was thinking about this last night. something something knuckles latching on to any feeling of Connection to his friends

not only is he autistic and struggles with the feeling of being Separate from everyone else, but he also grew up entirely alone and isolated. that shit fucks you and how you veiw/form relationships UP. he is very introverted and values his alone time greatly, but he’s lonely a lot

he sees sonic and amy and tails being Friends, just the little things, and it makes him so agitated and upset even if he doesn't realise it consciously. even the little things like sonic wearing the shoes amy got him for his birthday, tails falling asleep on sonic's shoulder, the miniature but fully functional piko piko hammer key chain on amy's phone that tails made. it's all evidence that they're close to one another in a way that knuckles isn't, that he isn't sure he'll ever be able to be

but then one day amy makes him a friendship bracelet and he makes the most ugliest face in response and she's like "oh if you don't like it you don't have to-" but he's already tied it around his wrist and tucked it under the cuff of his glove. tails comes up and insists on making him a reliable, working communicator and for a start he's wary, but a few days later tails sends him a message of a cool looking rock that's apparently a thousand year old meteor, isn't that cool? I heard you like rocks so I thought you'd find this interesting. whenever sonic finds his way up to angel island he starts bringing different food, mostly foreign herbs and spices, or fruits or nuts or whatever, small things that knuckles can add to his meals if he wants or can nibble on if he's hungry

they all do this very offhandedly, like it doesn't mean the fucking world, and after they finally get off his island and leave him in peace he sits by the master emerald and is confused as to why his chest feels so light but he feels like crying

[mischief-night-ghost]

One of these days I'm gonna have an echolalia/tic sobad that someone is gonna call me "an asshole" and I will whole heartedly, yet nonchalantly reply with, "you are what you eat, sonic", as if it's the most normal response to that insult.

yk

i feel like theres a sanders sides to mcyt/hermitcraft pipeline somewhere

<- has a spIn on both of them right now

[beepmeowiskarkat]

Hey does anyone have any analogical fic recs where Virgil is autistic with severe sensory processing issues, suffers from OCD and / or has mobility issues? Ive seen a lot of disabled logan analogical fics but I feel like absolute shit and I need to see myself repped by my fav.

[wethinkweknow-you]

getting back into my sanders sides groove. I'm so excited because now I have time to actually finish the virgil jacket I've been working on and I have motivation to do it!!!

I think a big reason I was SOOO obsessed with the sides is bc none of my friends knew about it so it was like my own little secret hyperfixation/guilty pleasure?? idk man. once I infodumped to my girlfriend about it I just stopped caring. but now I'm back in the game

All the craft groups I’m on because I like seeing people’s creations seem to be full of people making blue fucking puzzle pieces and talking about cure rhetoric.

Some of them respond well to having full facts about how fucking awful Autism $peaks, ABA and eugenics are when I drag all the trauma, the eugenicist discourse from medics I dealt with during my pregnancies, the terror I feel about how my wee brother could be treated, and why I personally would shy away from anyone wearing a blue puzzle piece for them. Others apparently would rather scream “hater”. I’ve been called a “TikTok autistic” more times than I can count.

When TS Eliot said “April is the cruellest month”, he had no fucking clue.

I’m so tired.

i headcanon logan sanders with autism and im tired of pretending i dont

first of all, hyperfixations. he gets so excited about tiny things like in selfishness vs selflessness he gets super excited when janus mentioned max stirner. he stood up, raised his hand, and started going “i know i know!” and “ooh! ooh ooh ooh!” also crofters, getting really excited over that. he willingly sung about it even though it’s canon he hates singing. not to mention his necktie. he gets very excited about that too, pointing it out a lot in late season 1/early season 2.

he’s extremely intelligent. i’m not stereotyping that all autistic people are smart, but tying in with hyperfixations, he gets happy whenever he gets to use “big words” and shows them off a lot. he will often reassure all of the sides (such as what he did in dwit) and act almost like a therapist to them.

he takes things very literally. he doesn’t understand idioms, metaphors, or sarcasm and will often take them to fact. for example, in incorrect quotes, janus said “well if it isnt logan sanders” and he replied with “but is IS me. your manipulative tricks wont work on me!” as janus is seen with a confused expression. also why he says “figuratively” before stating a metaphor of his own.

he shows little to no emotion. people with autism usually can’t really understand how to feel for a while which is why they script what to do, say, and feel inside of their head before they do it. logan has done this a lot, never really showing any emotions though he is able to match them with the sides at times (confusion, frustration, and appreciation in expression).

relating to the previous topic, logan can sometimes have a hard time regulating his emotions. such as whenever he screams “falsehood” and in working with intrusive thoughts when he screamed “stop ignoring me!!” he obviously gets upset and he can’t control those thoughts. also when him and thomas are working together in “losing my motivation”, patton says he’s going to be watson as logan is already sherlock and logan snaps “no, you can’t play with us!”

safe foods. logan definitely has a safe food: crofters. it’s the only jam he eats. it’s the only FOOD he eats. its his favorite and he gets so happy whenever he gets to have some. it’s sweet imo.

(disclaimer: i myself have autism. im not trying to patronize or stereotype anyone who has these traits. all of what is said here is just reasoning for a HEADCANON and is in no way intended to target thomas; character or him personally. thank you for reading)

Men always pretend they're simple creatures but some of them are complicated as fuck ugh. Mixed signals all over the place.
