When you start unmasking and actually get in touch with your mind and emotions, you suddenly realise how much stress you go through on a daily basis.
Youre not weak or stupid or less than NT people in any way
You're so strong for making it this far at all

Auctober: Individualism.
This one is late, and I was gonna do the whole month, but let me explain.
This comic is what made me survive October. About a week ago I was forced to go no contact with my entire family, for 2 years, because they couldn’t respect me or my boundaries. I held on to this, my truth, as I struggled to deal with their abuse. Abuse I hadn’t been able to truly recognise until the past 6 months, that all came to a head now.
It has been a… revelation, let’s use that word. It’s been a revelation to realise I’ve grown up in a family I specifically wasn’t allowed to be disabled in. The ableism was so hard core it arcs into ego and narcissism.
I wasn’t allowed to have needs or wants, I was expected to be independent even though it was obvious to everyone outside my family that I needed support, and help. And if I wasn’t, I was shamed, controlled, ignored, dismissed, invalidated.
And while the pain of going no contact with those I truly, honestly believed supported me the most has threatened to bury me, I now hold onto my self. I hope and trust that there’s something in me that can help others. It’s my self that is my oxygen mask, in the darkest night.
I’ve never had that before.
AND IT’S AMAZING.
Also as a 2nd year art student this is my first comic.
@autiebiographical ran the month of Auctober! Thank you.

is it ok to use the word delusional casually? for example calling someone delusional as a joke? I'm genuinely confused, so it would help a lot if you could clear things up for me.
I personally would prefer you not use delusional casually or as a joke, it is a serious mental health issue and symptom of several severe mental illnesses.
It waters down the intensity of the actual experience. And has led to people being rude or insensitive when someone who is actually delusional describes their experience. If people treat "delusional" as just a funny buzz word, they tend to call actual delusional people things like "crazy" since they think that word doesn't encapsulate the actual reality of delusions and how bizarre and severe they can be. The word "delusional" describes a very specific experience, if it's used for many other things, then how can people who experience delusions describe themselves?
And those of us who do experience delusions have already seen the repercussions of the word being watered down, especially in the last couple years. I've seen people calling others delusional when they are actually selfish, rude, uneducated, a big fan of something, having opposing political views, having big dreams, etc. Now the word is associated with all these other things that have nothing to do with actual delusions. I've also seen a lot of people acting like delusions are actually a good thing, the whole "delulu is the solulu" thing. Which is so insulting to me as someone who has suffered from delusions. I want people to understand the severity of my words when I say I am delusional.
Those of us who experience delusions only have that word to describe it, it is the literal medical term. Someone being delusional can be suffering, a safety risk to themselves, or in an emergency mental health crisis. If you are joking around with people you can use other words. It doesn't hurt you to think of other words to use, but it does hurt my entire community when you change the meaning of the word delusional.

Schizospec culture is despite not hallucination properly (only have visual distortions and sleep Deprivation induce things) I still am so Paranoid about hallucination! (What if I walk into dark room turn lights on and see scary thing?) (What if I loose sense of reality?) (What if dbad dream doesn't go away when wake up?) Endless... so sad...

Voter intimidation is no laughing matter. Of course ignorant people can say “it goes both ways” but the aggressors are OVERWHELMINGLY Republicans supporting Trump. Disabled people will especially find it difficult. We are seen as easy to push around, as disposable.
Some of us are financially and/or shelter dependent on people who are actively supporting one of the most men in the world.
Some of us have to hear Fox News in the background every day and night.
Some of us are gaslit into believing a living nightmare is a dream come true for the nation.
To the people who believe they have no voice, that there is no point, please hear me when I say you do. You matter. You are not a prop for the bigots to whom you are bonded by blood. If secrecy is necessary, use it. People like us do not have the privilege to be loud and proud, but we have the power to ignite change that will help us all.
Vote for hope, for the freedoms of those most vulnerable, and for the condemnation of the wicked. Vote blue.

Don’t get too excited about the things you’re interested in. Neurotypicals will see this as obsessive
