It’s a bit silly but I get a bit peeved when people fail to understand the complexities of things yet still pass harsh judgements. Or when people claim to support someone but then actively go against that.
A lot of autistic support I see isn’t actually very supportive methinks. They’re supportive of the idea of us. They like the idea of special interests and stimming. It loses appeal when we act weird and get irritable and miss out on events constantly. It’s no longer a tism moment when you’re seen as a bother.

Hi I hate to be cheesy but I wanted to say that while a lot of people - very rightly!!! - point out how cool your art is and how inspirational it is that you showed art can be learned, not just a rare natural born talent, I also LOVE your sense of humor. The dialog and visual jokes are always so sharp and are guarenteed to make me laugh! Because I'm autistic as hell lol I like to bookmark things I can read through over agian when I'm looking for laughs and your blog is now high on the list! Thx!
Be not afraid to be cheesy; your genuine message has brought me immense joy B’*)

I’ve come to figure out that selective mutism is actually not excruciatingly awful to experience as long as the people around you are normal about it
like
oh you need to block out the sounds around you and just chill for a while? cool man you do that. you want to still be in the conversation? alright you can just nod your head or sign or write down your thoughts it’s okay we’ll give you time. you need to go sit in the corner or step outside? that’s fine, come back when you feel better
you need comfort? you need space? you need me to talk for you? you need me to let you communicate in your own way? you need silence? you need to be in a less overstimulating environment? you need more attention? you need less attention?
that is fine and I love you and I understand you.

"its beneficial for you to watch other things in order for you to expand your horizons" no !!! go away !!!! i exclusively watch children's/animated media because it is one of the ONLY types of media/tv shows/movies i can process as an autistic person. everything else is too stressful. im perfectly happy watching only kids media idgaf dont tell me what to do if its something that unnecessary

Moment of appreciation for Diesel and Bruno's bond because they genuinely mean so much to me. All of the main cast are good friends to Bruno but I've noticed that Diesel is almost always the one with him if they need to put him next to someone and I think that's great. Like there's multiple occasions of Diesel looking out for him and encouraging him to use his headphones to block out the overstimulating things he's hearing. They're even canonically best friends like does it get any better than this.

When everything is too much, Ed gets under blankets.
“Do you want to talk about it?” asked Stede.
Ed shook his head.
“Do you want to be alone?”
Ed shook his head again.
“Is this okay?” Stede tentatively rested a hand on Ed’s knee.
Ed nodded.
They sat quietly together for a while, and when he felt a bit better, Ed sipped his seven sugar tea.
