You deathly afraid of jumping out of planes? Didn't wanna go skydiving? Well you would jump out of a plane if it was crashing, so therefore you can't really dislike jumping out of planes

Autism culture is not remembering important/most parts of your childhood, but remembering perfectly that one show you were obsessed with

i can only remember people/things/places/etc. exist when they are right in front of me. or if i have brain links that bring up old memories through associations.

when i see someone, i am reminded of their existence for during and a short time afterwards. but the longer time goes after they leave, the more those very recent memories (like from earlier same day) fade and feel less and less real.

this ties into how i have no sense of time, can't tell how long ago something is. and lack of awareness and perception.

after people leave, i go back fully into my own world. it is like i am almost the only person to exist, in my mind most of the time.

it takes so much constant work and effort and energy to pull myself out of my mind and internal world just enough to interact with someone. and i can only do it for a very short period of time. then i "clock out" or "shut down" again. my brain just won't stay open.

sometimes i wish that i could have both - be in my own safe world bubble in my mind, AND interact on a small level with other people. when i choose.

it doesn't really work like that, unfortunately. it clashes. the only way to interact at all is to force my brain to work on overdrive full speed everything all at once (never even successful). which makes system crash inevitably.

i can't have good words for this. i wish i could explain it better. this post is not clear.

being autistic and texting is such a bad combination because is this my cue to leave? do i reply to that or not? is it too much to use a tone indicator? shit, she didn't use a tone indicator, was she joking? which emoji do i use? should i reply right away- wait no that'll look like i'm trying too hard. but what if she thinks i'm ghosting her?

My biggest dilemma is that the autism in me hates bright lights but the poor vision in me can't stand dark rooms

[beautifuiprincessdisorder]

when your telling me to do something this is who you’re talking to.

Autism does not need to come with "exceptionalism" to be accepted.

Autism does not need to come with special skills or talents to be accepted.

Playing into the narrative that autistics have something they can offer to the world, to society, in a form of a special skill in order to make autism more palatable, acceptable, helpful, essentially plays into the notion of an autistic "superpower".

We should be accepting of autism even if it doesn't come with "benefits" to society.

Fucking sobbing at the convo between Toby and Harriet in episode 9

Though it’s through metaphors it’s so obviously two autistic people talking about the struggles of not fitting in with allistic people

And it’s such a beautiful moment of emotional connection

Especially with the combined shots of Harriet fidgeting with the pocket watch that Toby handed her (his obvious safe item) for comfort

Autism culture is freaking out over meeting my best friend’s girlfriend because she seems really cool and I want to be friends, but I’m really bad at making friends and I’m scared she won’t like me

The silent treatment is lowkey ableist cause no why are you punishing the autistic person for missing a social cue, which is literally something they can’t control, instead of correcting them!!!!
