#basically what i’m saying is that i’m autistic

[weirdmageddon]

man i shouldve restricted my replies a long time ago. why didnt i do this sooner. so many people on here take whatever i say in the worst faith way imaginable.

it says more about them than it does about me because what i speak and share is always made in 100% in honest good faith and if theyre projecting some weird way of interpreting it on me, thats not my way of thinking. you can’t put that on me.

im basically used to it by now. it follows me everywhere because i am radically autistically honest by default and i can’t turn it off that’s just who i am. my friend calls me “the control group” of people lol*

but i hate how it makes me disinclined to even want to share anything because of how bad faith people take what i have to say like i have some sort of agenda. bitch no im just sharing the underlying forces i’ve have come to notice through my observations. why do people assume hostile intentions from me when i’m just stating observations.

i’m like that “i like waffles” “so you dont like pancakes?” “no bitch thats a whole new sentence wtf are you talking about” tweet with folks on here if i don’t restrict my replies. what’s wrong with you all like actually

* i’m actually serious too, these are traits i score far on the upper end of the statistical bell curve compared to the average person (depicted by the number of marks below it). now imagine this combination in your brain, construct a type of person. can you see why bad faith arguments at me make me not even want to try

I believe a LONG time ago in her RVI days she mentioned being diagnosed with something that was basically akin to Autism (or what would likely have been Asperger’s at that point) when she was a kid. I forget exactly what it was but Malcolm brings it up in the Joon stream.

Then, in her Sheldon Cooper video, she basically admits that she doesn’t like when autistic characters are mostly treated as being in the right by the narrative and seen as wholly good heroes because that’s ��cheerleading” which is… bad, I guess. She likes Sheldon being autistic because his friends constantly shit on him and other him for his obsession with his niche interests and inability to read a room at times. She likes RD being autistic because she’s usually the one in the wrong in episodes that star her and has to be taught a lesson by the narrative/her friends.

All this to say, I’m almost certain the reason she behaves like this is because SHE didn’t have a support system growing up, so she thinks NO ONE should. I do believe her when she says that she had nobody speak to her directly when it came to her case in regards to her diagnoses and that she likely has a reason to be wary of the psych system, just as I do. If she had been shown more respect by her case workers and given agency and a purpose, I’m fairly sure she wouldn’t have this negative of an association with neurodivergency.

I feel the need to add that, in conjunction with the topic of Laios, autism and how Lily conducts herself on the topic- Lily herself indirectly admitted to headcanoning Ashley Graves and Voltron as autistic, alongside her own planet-killing OC on the "good rep!" side of her arbitrary meter.

People who engage with Coffin, I've observed they more often than not suspect Ashley has something closer to BPD or Sociopathy (something to that effect depending on criteria used in whatever theory), Lily is the first and ONLY person I've ever seen allude to an idea of her being on the spectrum in specific.

Coinciding: during her MLP days she violently hated Twilight being seen as autistic and argued Rainbow Dash was a better fit... you know, the pony she wrote to be a predator in the Stockholm series.

Lily, is there a reason you have a habit of "coincidently" associating autism with being an active criminal danger to others...? Why is it that she wants all autistic rep to be strictly "a spectrum" between insufferable assholes all the way to actual genocidal lunatics?

i’ll be like yeah i can be normal about my hyperfixations and then i remember that i have the entire opening monologue to the batman memorized and, for a moment, i consider the possibility of me being incapable of being normal about my hyperfixations

I love learning ASL it’s so good. Makes me happy to learn it. I’m so glad my university has classes for it with professors actually steeped in Deaf culture.

[thefaultinoursprinkles]

not to sound like a redditor again but holy fuck it’s actually so annoying to be smarter than most people and it creates actual problems in my life. I have to be so careful about anything I say because even if it’s correct, people my level and above me will feel like I am making them look bad or challenging their authority so every fucking thing I say has to be this careful construction of explaining the same thing over and over again until I can finally lead them to the right answer so they don’t feel like I’m smarter than them.

[saytrrose]

what were the diagnosis? Sorry I don’t mean for this to be rude or nosy just like I know you have autism and adhd !

I’m diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, PTSD, Clinical Depression, and Generalized Anxiety (GAD)

I got all this taken care of and diagnosed during my 4 years of highschool, but recently now that I’m in college I had to send in my old ARD/IEP forms from highschool to college so that I can get new accommodations and!!

I also got OCD and SPCD. I’m sure people know about OCD, but SPCD is Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder. It’s like a Speech Impairment. I can evaluate on anything if you’d like! Don’t be afraid to ask I know you mean well lol

i think Shuu is the type of Man U could calm down by giving him a reasonably sized animal to hold for a bit so he forgets he’s mad or overstimulated or whatever

[cetoddle]

i think i am having an existential crisis

[lesless]

I really feel absolutely normal until like the day after socializing a lot & then I begin to reflect & start to think that my friend’s autistic girlfriend might have been right about me being a little autistic lmaoooo

[absedarian]

I was at my mom’s birthday on the weekend and spent some time talking to my nephew and his gf. At some point, several phones in the room start ringing, and all three of us cringe.

Me: I haven’t had my phone on anything but silent in at least 15 years, possibly longer.

Nephew + gf: *nodding sagely*

Me: I don’t get how some people can stand to actually have it on sound, especially those sounds …

Nephew: *points over his shoulder to where his parents are sitting with a sad shake of his head*

Me: Well, we’re more or less the same age, so it can’t be that.

Nephew: Technically, and technologically, you’re about 20 years younger and cooler than them, so there’s that …

I’m really really mad so excuse my language.

People from my last post on level 3 autism are really starting to annoy me. The whole “haha level 3s aren’t even cognitively aware they’re level 3 and are basically just brains in space” talk is seriously scary.

Y’all do realize these are people with actual ability to form coherent thoughts? Right? These are people who..are people. I knew someone in highschool (I was homeschooled but involved with the local highschool for sports and extracurriculars) who was level 3 autistic. We weren’t close but I knew him. He WAS aware he was different. Do I know if he knew he had autism? No. But I kinda assume he does because people say it to his face. People would make him painfully aware that he was autistic.

I’ve met many level 3s. Both online and in person. It is a LARGE spectrum of people with level 3 autism. Some have higher support needs than others, some nonverbal, some semiverbal, some minimally verbal. Some have more things, like intellectual disability and cognitive problems and cerebral palsy, and so many other things and I KNOW THEM.

So saying “all level 3s aren’t even aware they’re level 3 and are basically cognitively a toddler” is fucking ridiculous. Get in your lane. Shut up. Know a few who do use the internet with help. Do know a few who are totally aware what they have. Know a few who don’t.

Some of y’all really need to expand your research and your friend groups. There are even a few level 3s here on tumblr. FUCKING. FIND. THEM. If you search the tag you might be able to find a few.

Overall, just stop being gross and actually do some research. If you’ve met a level 3 autistic, then you’ve met one level 3 autistic.

I’m still freaking out about Spock Prime’s TOS crew photo from Beyond

Yes, I know this is 8 years old at this point but my Autistic Brain decided to freak out about this again today for no reason at all so hear me out bc it drives me absolutely NUTS every time I think about it.

So basically, the circumstances required for Reboot Spock to find this photo in Spock Prime’s possessions after he died are absolutely wild. Let’s walk through it shall we:

First thing to remember is that this photo does not exist in the Kelvin timeline. At all. The characters all look different and even if they’re supposed to canonically grow up to look exactly the same as the TOS characters, Spock Prime went back in time from his own universe so the photo cannot exist in the Kelvin timeline, at least yet.

Second thing is that Spock Prime must have carried this photo on his person when he went back in time in the jellyfish ship.

This is because Nero captured Spock (and his ship) and stranded him on Delta Vega, presumably with nothing but the clothes on his back and whatever else he might happen to have been carrying in his pockets.

Also, he couldn’t have stored the photo on his ship to retrieve later because Reboot Spock blew it up to ignite the red matter and destroy Nero’s ship. So whatever Spock Prime brought with him from the Prime Universe must have been on his person when he was stranded on Delta Vega.

Now, when Spock first sees Reboot Kirk in the cave, he says the classic “I have been and always shall be your friend” along with “It is remarkably pleasing to see you again, old friend.”

If we take a peek at the timeline for a sec, Kirk Prime disappeared into the Nexus in Star Trek: Generations in the year 2293, when everyone presumably thought he died. Now, Kirk did reappear into ‘normal space/time’ in the year 2371 when the rest of Generations takes place, but only Picard really saw Kirk before he died for real—so basically, the last time Spock could have seen Kirk Prime was in 2293. In the Prime Universe, the Romulan star went supernova in 2387, which is when Spock Prime goes back and creates the Kelvin Timeline.

SO: all this means that it has been at least 94 years (2293-2387) since Spock Prime has seen a Kirk in any universe. THEREFORE: this means that Spock Prime was carrying THAT TOS CREW PHOTO on his person 94 years after the last time he had seen Kirk. Whether he had been carrying it on his person for the entirety of those 94 years, or just during his mission to try and save Romulus, or something in between is anyone’s guess. But basically, even almost a century later, Spock thought those people and that photo were important enough to take with him on his body when he was sent to save Romulus. (A mission that required extreme speed and efficiency, if I might add).

ANYWAY: the photo in Beyond is shown as a rather small, yet touching, moment of nostalgia for fans of the original Star Trek show, but when you really start to think about what was required for that photo to exist in Reboot Spock’s possession at that moment, it just starts to drive me a little bit absolutely bonkers.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Have a nice day.
