#autistic society

[zebulontheplanet]

Just a reminder that people who still live with their parents as adults deserve respect and for you to stop being ableist. There are multiple reasons someone could still live with their parents! From invisible to visible disabilities, finance issues, and more!

Stop using the “well they’re gonna turn into a creep living in their parents basement” punchline! It’s disgusting. STOP. BEING. ABLEIST. STOP. FORGETTING. THE. POOR.

Society when the mentally ill person shows symptoms of their diagnoses

Naw, my dude, sometimes it's you who gotta change

Your stim triggers someone's misophonia. You can try stimming in a slightly different way. Use a silent fidget, or learn the words to songs instead of tunelessly humming. (No, this may not be as satisfying! If you value your relationship, suck it up long enough to TRY accommodating the other person. If you cannot, or if the stress is so great that you MUST stim in the way that triggers them, excuse yourself politely. If you are already in a meltdown, well, shit's gonna happen sometimes.)

Your misophonia is triggered by something involuntary on the other person's part, like crying when in severe pain. Yes, you certainly can ask them to blow their nose more, or to try to modify the volume. But they have bigger problems right now, put in your earplugs, put on your headphones, and be as compassionate as you can be.

Your sense of fairness and justice is violated when the asshole coworker gets away with stuff that does not directly affect you but INCENSES you. Yeah, report her, absolutely. But it is not your job, your place, or your right to get in her face about it. Yes, even when HR does fuck-all. (If her behavior starts directly affecting your ability to do your job, then, YES, report her again. But, still, don't claw up her asshole to yell in her ear.)

I'm sorry, I truly am, this is why we Folk of the Tism feel that the world is out to get us, why we feel helpless and gaslit, I KNOW, I truly do know. Fifty years of knowing.

It absolutely sucks that "not being a complete fuckwad" means we have to sometimes renegotiate our needs in relation to the needs of others.

But, my beloved sibling, if you want to have people in your life, you gotta fucking compromise. They all have needs too.

Solidarity.

Autistic people are seen as stubborn but it is neurotypical society which actually fails to adjust to us…

Malleus and his special interest

Tbh when I heard about Twisted Wonderland I was expecting Malleus to be this dark shadow prince type, v edgy and such. Was not expecting him to be my newest little meow meow silly man

It's especially sad to me, how apparently common it is for some people to think autistic/neurodivergent people are lying or trying to manipulate them when they're actually being radically honest— it's just "too" honest for them to identify or accept.

It's sad that their honesty is considered "radical" relative to neurotypical society, when it would in nearly all cases be healthier and better for everyone to be more open and honest with each other.

neil autism. neil being super upset when mr perry changes what extracurriculars he's taking without his permission. neil stimming when he's writing the fake permission letter. neil wanting to be an actor because its far easier to play out a pre-written interaction than to have an actual interaction. neil "autistic extrovert" perry.

self-proclaimed radical leftists: in the communist utopia that exists only in my head, everyone will work, by which i mean a full-time job in the post-industrial revolution sense. this is because work is obviously the only way one can contribute to society, and everyone who doesn't work is a parasite that will be eradicated in my Communist Utopia™. i don't even care about the products or purpose of people's labour because, as everyone knows, employment equals morality and so having a job is inherently virtuous and not having a job makes you a lazy leech who doesn't deserve to live. trust me, this is a very communist idea. i'm practically an expert because i read 1.5 tweets about marx.

what? omg why are you making this about disability, i was obviously talking about normal people 🙄 if you're disabled, you have an excuse to be a useless waste of resources who can't contribute anything 😊 in my ✨ Communist Utopia ✨, you don't have to work if you're not able to. don't worry, we'll have rigorous and dehumanising tests to determine if you're disabled enough or if you're just a lazy faker! this process is infallible and has no drawbacks whatsoever for disabled people. have you considered that maybe you're the real ableist for criticising me? 🤔 anyway, have i mentioned how much i love employment and also the taste of boot leather

i always saw klance fics that had them going to some event on another planet and lance is thriving or whatever but I'd love it if just once the aliens were little anti-social freaks who dislike eye contact and small talk and lance is floundering in the environment and keith is thriving.

Coda to my other post because I didn't want to completely derail it but we might not be ready for this conversation as a fandom but ableism is absolutely a contributing factor to the way Armand gets treated and im tired of pretending like it's not. The way autistic people of color get treated in our society is abominable and this fandom is not immune to perpetuating that. So much of how he gets talked about can be chalked up to "well he didn't perform empathy/emotion/regret like I wanted him to." If Armand was as effortlessly personable and correctly emotive as Lestat is we'd be having a different conversation. That's all I'm saying.
