often I get stuck in body loop of sign "thank you", blow kiss, sign "I love you", over over over again. it is what I sign at mum or dad when they leaving room after help me with something.

happens even to people I don't like or don't mean it to say to them.

even after mum leave the room, still body sign over and over. even when alone in room.

happens with other signs too, just most common loop is this. frustrating.

((also sometimes funny, sign "I love you" at doctor or stranger or blow kiss in middle of appointment 😂. have doctor tomorrow hope it not be awkward))

i love ur owl house works! i have never done a request before, but here's my suggestion: autistic hunter struggling with his motor skills and frustrating himself, you can fill in the blanks. i am autistic and lack motor skills and have never seen that addressed in autistic hunter fics and i know I'll love whatever you come up with

Chronology : During the timeskip at the beginning of 3x01 Pairings : Camila & Hunter, Camila & Luz Headcanon : Autistic!Hunter with motor issues because of it Author's note : I've talked about this before but it's rare for me to get especially excited a request and this is one of the ones where as soon as I read it I got fuckin HYPED. I also lack refined motor skills, which I've written about with other characters and fandoms before but not Hunter I don't think so here we are

Camila really hadn't asked that much of him. She'd given a very simple chore. Hunter, can you sweep up the kitchen floor, please? she'd asked, and he was eager to help, too.

So, why was this so miserable?

It wasn't that he didn't understand the function of the broom, his hands just didn't want to cooperate. He'd seen Camila and Luz and Vee all do this task before with relative ease. What was wrong with him?

Naturally, his anxiety began to build as he struggled and failed to do the one, simple task he'd been given. Memories of similar instances flew through his head- Times where Belos would give him a simple task and he'd mess it up because his hands didn't work. Those times were always met with severe punishment, so-

"Hunter?" Camila asked as she walked back into the kitchen, only to find the floor barely swept. "Can you finish sweeping, please?" she asked patiently. Hunter wanted to cry. "I'm gonna be making dinner here soon"

"Sorry, I'm sorry" he replied a bit frantically, trying his best to continue sweeping but continuously getting caught as his hands refused to do what they were supposed to. Camila frowned as he grew more and more hysterical until he eventually threw the broom to the floor and ran out of the house.

Luz walked in because of the noise. "Is everything okay, mamá?"

"Hunter was having some sort of trouble sweeping, so he threw this on the ground and ran out of the house" she gestured to the abandoned broom. Luz mirrored her mother's frown. "I think he may be having a panic attack" Camila realized. "Can you keep an eye on the others and make sure they don't come outside while I'm checking on him?"

"Yes, ma'am"

----------

"Hunter?" Camila asked as she spotted the blonde sitting right on the backdoor stairs. He went rigid and seemed ready to bolt again. "You're not in trouble, don't worry" she was quick to reassure. "Can I come talk with you about what just happened?"

"Okay" he allowed and she smiled as she sat next to him on the backdoor stairs. "Do you wanna tell me what happened?"

"I'm sorry" he apologized, and there were tears in his eyes. Camila's heart sank. What had they done to this poor kid? "I wasn't ignoring your order, I just-"

"Order?" she asked, bewildered.

"Yeah?" he replied, equally bewildered by her reaction. "You gave me an order, and I didn't do it, which-"

"Order..."

"Apologies if that's the incorrect wording" he told her, and for a moment the tears grew a little thicker. "I promise I wasn't ignoring it, though. I just... Couldn't"

"Why?" she asked, though she seemed to just want to understand. Hunter swallowed thickly. Whenever he'd told Belos the real reason before, it hadn't ended well, but he didn't have any better explanation, so...

"My hands don't really... Work" he explained hesitantly, shutting his eyes tight as though expecting to be hit. "Like I can write or draw or flip pages in a book fine, but when it comes to certain tasks like sweeping or tying my shoes or... I don't know, that stupid cup song Luz was trying to teach us" he chuckled. "My hands just don't wanna cooperate, even though I understand how to do it"

"Oh" Camila said and he was already planning what to do if she kicked him out, but she didn't do that. He risked opening an eye and was greeted with a kind smile. "Thank you for telling me, Hunter" she said. What? "I won't ask you to sweep again"

"Wait, you aren't mad?"

"No, of course not, mijo" she replied earnestly. "You have motor issues. Why would I be mad at you for that?"

"I..." he sighed. "I don't know. I'm sorry"

"Hey, no more apologies" she nudged him gently. "You don't need to apologize for existing in my household, okay? Here, how about you come and help me cook, can you do that?"

"Yes, ma'am"

"Alright" she smiled. "I'll finish sweeping real quick and then we'll get started"

"Thank you, ma'am"

"No need"

So a friend introduced me to this clothing brand called The Squeaky Wheel!

They make clothing with messages and art which are geared towards disabled people, and most of them seem pretty wholesome. Here are some examples.

So if you are interested in these kinds of products, here you go!

I’m not extremely versed on disability theory and discourse, so in the off-chance I’m actually shouting out a problematic company I’d like to be informed.

Having motor issues is fucking wild because one day I can perfectly play basketball or whatever and the next I can barely hold a pencil or talk

[avalovesindie]

the adults around me seeing a kid who couldn’t wear high-rise jeans due to it making me uncomfortable, walked crooked, had a weird obsession with smelling my mothers belly button, was confused and mad when adults smiled at me for no reason, talked to fictional characters for fun, etc…: wow what a perfectly neurotypical child <3 so much potential 🥰

every demigod has adhd. where are all the demigods with motor skill issues. give me demigods who have scars from training because they have coordination difficulties and keep slipping. demigods who consistently walk into corners and doorways and walls. demigods with the messiest handwriting known to man. Percy who is incredibly graceful in wet environments but trips over his own feet when it's dry. Annabeth who got misdiagnosed as needing glasses when she was younger because she kept crashing into things. Jason whose scar is still so prominent thirteen years later because he's bashed his face so many times over the years he's split his scar a hundred times. Piper who only wears velcro shoes because tying laces is the worst. Demigods with dyspraxia. demigods with motor skill issues.

Loki who can hold the Tesseract not because it has no effect on him but because the pain receptors in his fingers/hands have long since fizzled out

[thistledown-moved]

So funny when people make posts like "if you REALLY had [disability here] you wouldn't be ABLE to have a social media account" like god forbid disabled people do anything that isn't lament in total isolation until they are Fixed or until they die.

Stuck

It is so hard to find the words to describe what my body feels like, especially when I am stuck, but here I have tried my best.

There’s three main different stages, that I am aware of:

1- Frozen. I am completely frozen in space, can’t move physically but very aware of what’s going on around me. Often my limbs become stiff but can be moved into a different position by another person and will stay where they’re put. Usually my tics stop almost completely while in this state, or they come in bursts at the same time as my fingers twitch from my own effort of trying to break out. I can come in and out of this state a few times before it fully ends. It tends to come in episodes. My eyes become fixed on one point, I sometimes even stop breathing for a few seconds or my breathing can become very heavy and panting, because my anxiety levels skyrocket and I panic once I realise I can’t move. Not knowing how long I will be stuck like this is terrifying.

2- The slow, heavy state. This feels like trying to control a videogame character with a faulty controller, like I’m pushing down hard on the joystick and buttons but the character (my body) is only responding in small, slow movements and twitches. I can spend hours upon hours in this state and at the moment it feels like my main state of being. I am usually able to type/use AAC very very slowly (as I am doing right now- slowly tapping each letter and willing my hands to move), but often my eyes become fixed on one point and everything goes out of focus. It is unfortunately rather easy to slip in and out of a fully frozen state while in this slow, heavy half-frozen state. My tics are actually calmer in this state than the fully frozen one, because it’s more long-lasting and I often lose some awareness of what’s going on around me. I feel as if my mind is also affected by this particular state in a way that it’s not when I’m fully frozen. The only part of my body I can voluntarily move in this state is my arms, and often my hands go floppy so I have to lift my wrist above my iPad and let my finger fall onto the screen to select the right letter.

3- The hyper, fast, frantic state. This doesn’t happen often at all but very occasionally I get a sudden burst of (false) energy (it’s definitely more adrenaline than energy and feels like buzzing beneath my skin). When I feel this I must move, stim, make noise, everything feels incredibly frantic and chaotic. Whenever I have a tic attack it happens in this state. I can become very angry OR very excited, however both emotions feel false and exaggerated. Usually my meltdowns happen in this state, the rest of the time I’m much more inclined to shutdown.

God can you imagine how hard it'd be for new phoneheads to adapt to their dimensions. Like it already hurts all over and now you gotta accommodate to this new head trying not to bump it against anything and trying not to get the cord tangled on shit... I know my ass could not make it.

Hey y'all! Weird question time again So I have kind of a lot of emergency/as needed medications that I have to have with me in my purse whenever I leave the house, and a few more that I have to take with meals, so if I'm going to leave the house for longer than a quick errand I need those too. The problem: I have two nieces that live nearby-ish, one of which is an absolute bundle of chaos of a toddler*, and the kidlet I babysat is going to visit next year. He's nine. If I spend time with any of those kids, how do I childproof my purse full of medications without making it difficult to access emergency medications I could need at very short notice while potentially pretty significantly impaired, like my rescue inhaler? *her parents babyproofed some doors with those latches high up on the door and she figured out how to take a broom and unlatch them

nerve damage is an underappreciated thing that can happen. you make a few suboptimal decisions and now you have a gentle but persistent burning sensation in your left hand for the foreseeable future, forever having grabbed a hot mug a few seconds ago
