reading the symptoms of autism as a now grown adult after being bullied for no explainable reason all your life

People who self harm only for attention are just as valid as people who self harm for any other reason.

Seriously.

Parents often make the mistake of dismissing their child’s self harm as “attention seeking” when it’s otherwise.

But what always gets me is that, even if a child is harming themselves solely to get attention, that is a huge problem they need help for!

If a person has to go as far as to cause physical harm to themselves in order to gain what they feel as the proper amount of attention, that is someone who needs help ASAP.

No matter the form, no matter the severity, no matter the reason, self harm is a sign of severe distress that deserves immediate, intense attention.

And no one will ever convince me otherwise.

My poor, sensitive nervous system... 😭

Gotta make sure to get plenty of rest!

i love the fact that shang qinghua, who has always considered himself the height of mediocrity, scored the two pickiest people in the world: Mobei Jun, who will simply freeze people into ice cubes and leave them to die if he doesn't vibe with them, and Shen yuan, who was born being a hater, died being a hater, woke up, and continued being a hater.

Shen Qingqiu literally used to have lists of cup ramen brands he refused to eat bc the texture of their noodles was off, and Mobei Jun has killed people for disliking the sound of their feet when they walked.

but they both looked at this hamster once and were like “fucking marriage material lets go”

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

once again thinking about how fucked up it is that special ed used me and other disabled children as unpaid, coerced labor. i worked enough to be making $100 a week. i was "paid" in fake money redeemable only at the school cafeteria, which i worked at, and was forced to do things that distressed me. they gave us $1 a week, if they remembered to give it to us at all.

this was while i would sometimes go the entire day without eating because i didn't have the money to buy food and the free food was not sensory safe. we also worked outside the community - grocery stores, warehouses, shoe stores security tagging items. all under the guise of job skill development, we did $100 of labor a week without ever getting paid. and we were demeaned while we did it. and we were just teens.

so no, i don't want to hear about how special education is good. not with the way me and my peers were treated and taken advantage of. death to institutionalization, in all forms.

please stop scrolling for a sec!! i'd really appreciate your attention!!

hello, my name is nexys and i am a disabled, autistic, and queer person trying to make it in the content creation world. i'll do my best to keep this short and sweet, but i'm going to be having a subathon over on twitch starting 8/1 (august 1st) at 12pm CST.

this event is super important to me, as i'm trying to raise money to improve my living situation, as well as the living situations of those in my community. i'm also going to be running a charity day on friday, august 2nd for parkinson's awareness, research, and treatment, and will be having on my grandfather, who is an advocate with the disease. and i know it would mean a lot to him if he was able to raise some money to help other people like him.

for those that don't know, a subathon is when a streamer goes live on twitch for a certain amount of time, and the stream ends when the timer runs out. however, the timer can be increased indefinitely by viewers donating money, subscribing, gifting subscriptions, or cheering bits.

due to my disabilities i can't go 24/7 like some of the maniacs (/lh) out there, but i have committed to going every single day for at least four hours until the timer hits zero. and once again, this subathon event holds potential to be lifechanging for a lot of people. plus i'll be collaborating with over a dozen other creators throughout the first week, so you'll be getting a lot of variety! we'll be playing everything from pokémon to phasmophobia, roblox to subnautica, and more!

even if you can't contribute financially, dropping a follow, saying hello, and just Being There would mean the world to everyone involved.

here's my linktree, which directs to every website i'm on, including my twitch channel and discord server.

even if you're not personally interested in this project, please consider reblogging! there's a chance one of your followers might be interested, and any engagement helps. <33 thank you so much for reading this far, and i hope you have a great rest of your day/night!

Having fluctuating symptoms is valid

Not understanding your symptoms is valid

Feeling like your symptoms have gotten worse is valid

Having your symptoms get worse is valid

Feeling like your faking your symptoms is valid and happens to so many people all the time

Symptoms are not a fixed feeling. They can get worse and they can get better both experiences are valid.

We always talk about how autistic adults are adults, and that's true. but shoutout to the autistics that :

age regress

pet regress

don't feel human

are age stunted by trauma

who feel like a teen/child for whatever reason

who want to be a child again

age sliders in a system

littles in a system

middles in a system

2000s boy regression art 🐠📀🚗🎮 ft. a little boy with a taped chest; b/c binding does not make you less little !

Please do not s3xualize me or my art -- art & banner by me, pngs f2u -- REJA is my signature !!

P.S. - chest tape is an awesome supplement to traditional binders or sports bras when done safely! Look for 4-inch cotton, silicone-free kinesthesiology tape if you can't afford trans tape. I have been binding for three years, highly recommended :)

SY growing up with an older brother that showed traditional symptoms early and got a diagnosis, and now SY seems weirdly tuned in to LQG’s needs.

I know I posted a video on tiktok about this but more people need to hear this

Don't date someone unless you can't handle all their disorders, let me repeat Do not date someone unless you can handle ALL their disorders

Don't date someone with a personality disorder unless you can handle the episodes

Do not date someone with a trauma disorder can you can handle the flashblacks

Do not date someone with mood disorder unless you can handle the mood swings

Do not date someone with a disorder you cannot handle

Do not date someone if you're going to villainize them or their disorders

Do not date someone if you're going to romanticize their disorders

It shows you have little to no understanding of their disorders or who they are as a person, it shows you can't truly love them because you refuse to learn the basics of the disorder, and it shows just how much of a shitty person you are

[thehellsaint]

being an endo is some of the most white ppl shit I've ever heard 💀

wdym you're so privileged with spare time and energy that you roleplay being disabled to get chronically online social credit

You know those teachers who would have posters in their classrooms like “weird is a superpower” and “in a world where you can be anything, be kind” then would proceed to scream at a neurodivergent child until they cried.
