Non autistic actors playing autistic characters suck as depictions of autism because they are playing an autistic character, rather than autistic character who is masking as a neurotypical

in the same way when trying to act drunk for a play, you would want to act like your trying to be sober, because effort into acting sober is what drunk people are doing

in that same way when playing an autistic character there is a whole second level of who is this character masking themself to be

Where have I been.

@ autistic folks!!! You need to watch "A Kind Of Spark". It's a new series about two autistic sisters and if witches are one of your hyperfixation/special interest, then this show is for you!!! The actresses are all autistic and it's just wholesome to see such an accurate autistic representation 🤍 Keedie, Nina and Addie are everything to me, I literally cried watching every episode. The portrayal of autistic women made by autistic women is so important I cannot put into words how much this means to autistic youth. I wish I would've had this representation when I was an undiagnosed autistic teen 🫶🏻 it would have helped me so much but even now, I felt like my inner child was healing. So yeah, WATCH A KIND OF SPARK !!! ✨️✨️

Also, I truly believe that witches were autistic women

sometimes I think about how likely it is for me to become a wiggle I mean, actor/singer, neurodivergent (learning opportunity) and I can play multiple instruments,

I’ve pretty much excepted the fact that I could be a wiggle but idk how to feel about it

Young Cillian Murphy for Blag Magazine ! I always struggle to draw in black and grey hues...but I've done my best even though it's not entirely accurate or perfect... The eyes and nose were a struggle because of the placement of highlights and over-exposition on the photo

I want to talk about Pablo.

Pablo is a childrens show with autistic characters, and an autistic cast. I love Pablo, it's a really good show in my opinion, and I really relate to a few of the characters.

However, I do have a few issues with it. The main one being that Pablo is nonspeaking, but in his imagination, in his ideal world that he's made, he isn't. This really bothers me because it portrays being nonspeaking as being a less good scenario than being speaking, and it isn't. There is no better way to communicate, oral speech isnt superior.

The other is that llama (who is actually my favorite character) is fully nonspeaking besides echolalia, but her voice actor isn't. Llamas voice actor is fully speaking (the last time I checked anyway. Its sort of hard to find information.) and whilst I am super glad all the actors are autistic, I do wish they at least used a semispeaking or a nonspeaking echolalia using person.

Now I want to talk about the good parts, because as I said I do really like this show.

All the actors are autistics, and that is FANTASTIC. I am super tired of us being represented by allisitics, so that was super nice to see.

It has representation of tons of different types of autistics, and shows us as unique people (or in this case animals ^^ ) rather than emotionless copies of eachother.

And finally, it made me feel like I was being represented. It made me feel seen. I related to multiple characters in multiple ways and that was so so nice to finally see someone like me.

Has anyone else noticed the phenomenon where people call certain celebrities or actors rude or arrogant or saying they have “mean girl” or “bully” vibes when they’re actually just socially awkward and/or have issues with picking up on social cues?

[bright-omens]

Me: Wow! Michael Sheen is such a good actor! I love all his microexpressions and how he can fit into every role! If I ever act, I wanna be that good of an actor :D

Also me, an autistic with resting bitch face that doesn't change unless I'm with friends or talking about one of my interests: Haha...Yeah, probably not gonna happen
