#level 3 autistic

[kazandautism]

It okay if you want to get rid of your autism.

Lot of people on internet say that autism great and that they like it. That okay too, everyone allowed own opinion on self.

But not make you bad person if you don’t like it.

It hard having meltdowns and sensory overload. Hard to need others to care for self.

You allowed to dislike your autism.

tbh i find autism so debilitating because it feels like no one takes the time to listen to us. the general population around in-person spaces forget that LSN/Level 1 autistic people exist, and the online spaces forget that HSN/Level 2-3 autistic people exist.

like i either get hit with the "but you don't look autistic" irl or the "ugh why cant that kid just learn to type right" online. and theyre ableist as hell in both directions!!!!!!!! they both uphold The Norm™

everyone either expects a fully nonverbal diagnosis-caught-early type of autist, or someone who has 0 neurodivergency based issues at all. make up your fucking mind????

as someone who isn't really sure where it falls on the support needs spectrum, both sides of this shit suck for different reasons.

just. don't be a dick to people who have different support needs. that's it, that's the post. someone needs more? less? exactly the same as you? does not fucking matter regardless and you better not make it into a Thing. I'm stealing your kneecaps. im foaming at the mouth. im going to throw a brick at you.

I just saw someone say that physically disabled people and mentally disabled people are different because “people look at me and know I’m disabled.”, which is such an ignorant statement.

level 3, high support needs autistic people don’t get the privilege of being able to hide their autism. People with intellectual disabilities don’t get the benefit of being discreet.

people know, they always know. They can tell when you slur your speech, and flap your arms, and make noises they don’t understand. They can tell when you talk and when you don’t. When I have a meltdown in a busy area, everyone fucking knows. Most of us don’t get the privilege of masking.

This is not a physically disabled exclusive experience, ever. And to act like we’re some how less likely to face danger because of it causes actual harm.

I’m not saying we are exactly the same, we aren’t. I’ll never fully understand the physically disabled experience. But this experience is real for other people that aren’t you.

destigmatise people who visibly autistkc

"its invisible"

actually

low mask and high/mid support needs usually "visible" to extent

i make noises walk around and look "odd" "different"

other people said before on here

not all autistic people visibly autistic and autism doesnt have "a look" but some people LOOK autistic

people so obsessed with show how "normal" high masking LSN people look and behave that we get swept under rug

Nonverbal autistics of Tumblr, why do you guys use third person language so often? It seems to be a very common thing

[2003-playground]

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

[ghxst-system]

being told "sharing is caring" to force me as an autistic child to share was weird as hell

it ISNT caring

it isnt caring to me, to cause myself immense stress and meltdowns because people are touching and using MY things

like fuck off

if i care about u i dont share my shit, i just tell u.

i always see sensory avoidant autistic people talking about how their favourite foods are all plain carbs but where are the sensory seeking autistics who live on garlic and spicy foods? the ones who will eat a straight lemon and hate buttered noodles.

Is it possible for someone's autism levels to change due to trauma? Like could a 1.5 go to a 2.5 after being kidnapped and tortured? I'm writing a story

Couldn’t mask so I hid.

Shout out to autistics like me who never really "masked" the normal way, who didnt realize they were supposed to fake eye contact or tried to study and understand the conversational structure of people around you. Who couldn't really stop stimming and only changed the type of stims they did. To autistics who's only way of masking was to withdraw, just try to not draw any attention ever. Yes we tried to not seem so autistic but we probably never even understood what made us seem autistic in the first place, so the only option was to shut down and avoid any contact whatsoever.
