#i am overly sensitive

[toastspirit]

I wonder if my brother remembers that one time he told me that I’d never survive in the real world

Because I think about it pretty often

The fact that Briar is listed as one of Rosabella's best friends in her profile but Briar's profile barely mentions her..

If people understood how much it takes to make even my mods, they might not stop to comment how they like other mods better 🥲 you don't have to say that, man

"just give them an aac device!"

"just teach them sign language"

"body language and facial expressions alone are good enough for communicating what you need"

Nonononono f*!k off. Stop acting like nonverbal people have easy solutions to their lack of verbality. Not everyone can use an aac device- some people struggle with spelling or can't spell at all, some people have motor skills issues that makes typing a nightmare that takes a long time, some can't articulate themselves without outside help. Learning sign is hard if you again have motor skills issues or struggle to make facial expressions that convey what your feeling (flat affect applies to more than just a person's voice- some people really struggle to make facial expressions and have stilted or strange body language- you people can understand why autistic people get burnt out from masking all day- you know often having to control their body language and make certain facial expressions etc yet you can't understand why nonverbal autistics can't just learn sign- a language very heavy on facial expressions and expressive body language?) also again spelling and motor skill issues are a pain and also a lot of families with deaf or nonverbal children refuse to learn sign for said children and I'm sorry in day to day life I haven't met many people who speak sign- yeah you can move to a community with a lot of deaf or nonverbal people that use sign but that's not always possible and its very limiting. And do I even have to explain the third one- autistic body language is confusing to neurotypicals and I hate the stereotype that its just so blunt and obvious/better than neurotypical communication- maybe that's what its like for you and your 'smart sheldon cooper/Wednesday Addams' style autism but not every autistic person 'says exactly what they mean' often times autistic people struggle with semantics and articulating sentences that make any sense! and all these misunderstandings surrounding stimming are annoying to!- spinning can be a 'happy' stim but it can also mean your overwhelmed or understimulated, a lot of people with autism have voices that lack inflections, mix that in with being unable to use words and no it does not help communicate their needs- f!*k off with acting like its easy not all autistic people who are nonverbal can spell, not all autistic people w are nonverbal have good motor skills and body language alone is never enough to convey a persons needs. Before anyone comes after me yes Sign is body language but its also actual symbols and can convey full thoughts and ideas and sentences and also body language is hard for a lot of autistic people to convey like stated above.

Not every form autistic communication is being 'logical' and unoffended because 'we're just more logical than those superfluous, shallow neurotypicals that let their feelings control them and are never direct about what they want-we value facts and logic unlike those butthurt neurotypicals' and being overly blunt- no a lot of autistic people find that communication is messy and the ways they can communicate are ineffective and your 'logical, facts dont care about your feelings' style of communication isn't as amazing as you think it is. Stop speaking over nonverbal autistics- their is no real perfect solution to them not being able to speak. And I'm gonna say it- while not all nonverbal people are low functioning or high support needs or whatever the new term is-being nonverbal is a massive disadvantage and having your disability be visible like that is scary in many situations and being unable to communicate your needs can make it impossible to meet your needs-

So I'm watching Buddies Daddies and I know it just a very small insignificant line, but I couldn't help but notice it:

Even though the Japanese voice-actor clearly said "Arab," they had every single subbed version translating it as "Middle Eastern" instead? I also checked the dubbed version and it was the same there.

Again, its not that significant, but I can't lie I'm feeling some kind of way because its almost like they think that the word Arab has a negative connotation that they don't want to associate with their main character, so instead they used "Middle Eastern" because its more ambiguous sounding?

Not to be an old person about it, but jfc, I did hit a point of giving up on TikTok (I was only there for marketing research and it honestly was not worth the cost to my mental health), and I've replaced TikTok time with reading time and, omfg, I genuinely feel so much better

"But I have ADHD" Me too! "Reading time" is often playing Vampire Survivors while listening to an audiobook on 2.5x speed and it's so much better!
