#international autism day

[capriddle]

Since today is International Autism Day and since I am on the spectrum, I feel it is right to dedicate a small post to it. I was diagnosed in my twenties, after spending a lifetime going from one doctor to another, without anyone understanding anything about me. The first time I heard the word Asperger's (i.e. a way to define high-functioning autistics like me) was thanks to Fantastic Beasts, because it was stated that Newt Scamamder has Asperger's. For this reason I would also like to thank the world of Harry Potter for arriving at a diagnosis, and this draws attention to the importance of representing diversity, not only to have a more truthful picture of reality, but because this could concretely help someone.

There comes times where other toons break in, assume Perry's being held captive, and attempt to fight the big bad Chainsaw Consultant in order to "free" em. In the event of this, Perry usually portholes away back to the playground, and at first would wait until the following day to come back.

Eventually, this turned into coming back in once the coast was clear and there was no longer any revving behind closed doors.

When that first happened, eir efforts to offer help- extending a gloved hand to clean off the smears of frosting, or just help tidy the office, ey were immediately met with the sole command to leave.

No eye contact was made.

Ey complied.

It'll be better, tomorrow.

It's international Asexuality day and i wanna wish all Aces a very good day! You are valid, you are seen and you are part of the rainbow just like the other colours🌈 Don't let someone else or society itself determine or validate your feelings & desires You know who you are and that's enough.

April 2nd was also Autism awearness day and i'd like to say to all on the spectrum that, you are also valid. I know some days are harder and it feels like nobody undertstands. But that's okay, it's okay to experience things differently. No one can tell you what traits, feelings and experiences are not right, because they are and they're yours. We're what we were made to be and that's good enough.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Stay healthy and stay safe✨♥️

Since it's International Day of Disabled People I'd figure I'd make a post or two about it. 

First of all, yes, autism is a disability. Even in a perfect world autism would still be a disability. Just because some low support needs people feel like their only struggles are cause of society doesn't change that. 

Mid to high support needs people exist. Hell, low support needs people that would still struggle in a perfect world exist. 

Now that that's aside, what can you do to support autistic people today? 

1, Lift up autistic voices. Especially semiverbal and nonverbal people who are usually silenced because people don't learn how to accommodate them. 

2, Spread awareness about the ableism we face. In school we'd be the ones to get bullied, when we grow up it's harder to get and keep jobs, and we even get discrimination for existing in a public place while visibly autistic. 

3, Especially support and lift up autistic voices who have multiple disabilities. Whether that's multiple mental disorders or physical disabilities or both. It's disabled people's day after all, not autistic people's. Make people aware of the intersectionality of having multiple disabilities. 

I'm going to make a second post about this, talking about more awareness stuff.

hornet does not get flustered, ever. ok? she doesn't blush and she doesn't freeze up. she'll think about her rival getting all up in her face, blowing a kiss, etc at 3am and her gaze will harden and be like 'hm. this is hatred. i have to kill her'

LIKE!!!!!! BEING TRANSGENDER BEING QUEER IN ANY WAY ISN'T HARMFUL BEHAVIOR!!!!!!! IT'S LITERALLY NOT EVEN A BEHAVIOR!!!!! IT'S JUST A THING THAT YOU ARE!!!!!! And SOMETIMES. You act accordingly! You may change your name and pronouns! You may seek HRT! You may look into surgery! You may only do a few of those things or any combination of those things (or maybe even none?!), whichever works for you and your sense of self-actualization. BUT. Doing ANY of those things. Is NOT HARMFUL BEHAVIOR!!!!!!!!!!! And in the sexuality department! If you have "same sex attraction" as they like to call it. Also not even a behavior. It's just a thing you Feel. But of course you gotta moralize Feelings, too. Forget about it!!!!! And if you Act on it. That's still not harmful. Who are you harming? Giving a little kissie to your same gendered homie???? Or getting handsy????? But on God. Do not get me started. My MAIN POINT. Is that there is literally no harm. There is nothing to correct here. There is nothing to fix here. Except for the hatred in your heart!!!!!! Your fear of the unknown!!!!!!!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME ONGOING EVERLASTING TRAUMA OVER THIS THIS IS FUCKING STUPID‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I don’t often talk abt bein a system on here anymore, alters don’t use their tags as often, and I rarely reblog posts about it mostly because when we did ppl would treat us… differently if that makes sense. like less of a person more of.. a novelty?
