PAIGE LAYLE IS A LESBIAN

[sophiecountsclouds]

April TBR!

Hello! After a very mixed reading month in March, going from spending three weeks finishing ‘A Game of Retribution’ to reading 50% of ‘A Game of Gods’ in one day, I’m going into April with a renewed sense of capability in my ability to read! I’ve stopped being stubborn about reading without the support of an audiobook and I’m ready to be more consistent and finish more books this month! This…

[waytray]

i’m 2:10 into this video and this is the first time i’ve hear about PDA, Pathological Demand Avoidance. and this makes sense for autism because it’s like, you have to soak in responsibilities into your membrane (it feels like) in order to truly be okay with it. to feel good about something is to fully connect with it on a deep level

[meilarchives]

ʚɞ this is a shifting exercise by @zaddizu !! had so much fun doing this :(

ʚɞ WHAT IS YOUR NAME? my name is meilani lianne loveshore. my family comes from chinese and hawaiian ethnic backgrounds, and in chinese, "mei" can mean beauty, and "lani" can mean heavenly or sky in hawaiian. my mother blessed me with the middle name lianne like her little sister.

ʚɞ WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD? my favorite food will forever and always be the cherry pie that my grandma makes for me and my twin brother on our birthday every year. seriously. every. year.

ʚɞ FAVORITE COLOR, GO! my favorite color is literally any shade of pink.. i did in fact go through a phase where i told everyone i hate pink but i was wearing frilly socks until i was 15... who was i trying to fool.

ʚɞ NAME THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU. physically i think the most important thing in my life is the people i'm surrounding myself with.. that is so broad, but for the past few years i've really worked on making sure that the people i hang out with are good people who i know make me feel good as well. spiritually God and church are the most important things in my life.

ʚɞ FAVORITE MEMORY? i have had so many amazing experiences that it's hard to narrow it down to one thing, but after a lot of thinking i've come to the conclusion that the day i introduced my boyfriend, hugh, to my siblings and we were playing at the lake for hours.. it's just so beautiful and fresh in my mind.

ʚɞ WHATS YOUR HOGWARTS HOUSE? i wasn't ever really big on harry potter - that was my twin brother's thing and when we were young we tried to differenciate ourselves as much as possible - but any time i did get curious and take a test, i always got hufflepuff!

ʚɞ IN A CROWDED ROOM, WHO WOULD YOU LOOK FOR FIRST? my twin brother immediately. i drag him around literally everywhere, and he truley is the first person i tell when anything happens.

ʚɞ WHAT TOPIC WOULD YOU DEFEND WITH YOUR LIFE? the whole no hate like christian love saying makes me so hot headed. i understand that not everyone has amazing experiences with christianity, but the whole basis of my religion is to love everyone no matter what. yes, some christians are misguided by judgement, but saying it like it's a generalization is so insulting and upsetting to me.

ʚɞ WHAT CHARACTER DO YOU RELATE TO? linus van pelt.. the way you clutch onto your childhood blanket like it's your lifeline is the most me coded thing ever.

ʚɞ WHAT PERSON IN YOUR DR WOULD YOU NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY CAME OUT AS A SHIFTER? one of my best friend's paige... even in this reality we literally spend hours talking about mcu thoeires and giving eachother fic recs... tell me thats not a shifter i dare you.

ʚɞ AMBIVERT, INTROVERT, OR, EXTRAVERT? don't even try to convince me to talk to someone who isn't my family, boyfriend, or friends because it will not happen. i get so shynervousawkward when i'm talking to people who i don't already really know i am such an introvert.

ʚɞ BEST SCHOOL SUBJECT? psychology come over here and kiss me so hard on the mouth. i LOVE psychology. and PE. PE you can join in the fun..

ʚɞ WHERE CAN SOMEONE FIND YOU IF YOU ARE SAD? the second i feel the slightest bit upset, i'm texting my best friend aurora and asking her if i can sleep over. there's just something about her house that is so comforting.

ʚɞ HAVE YOU HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE? no but once aurora slapped my ass so bad i fell over on to rocks and now i have a permanent scar (this was this current reality.. but i scripted it into my better cr for the friendship lore) heh...

ʚɞ WHO WAS YOUR FIRST LOVE? DO YOU REGRET IT? i would argue that my first love was milo thatch from atlantis: the lost empire... but really it was hughie. we just fit together so perfectly i start blushing whenever he's around as if we haven't been together for almost three years.

IB: @laylasverse and her post !!

Hey! :³

I'm writing a neurodivergent character, but I'm not neurodivergent myself.

I'm doing some research, and I don't wanna reforce prejudices or be patronizing

How do I know if I am in the right way?

(you don't need to answer if you're not currently able to, btw)

Xoxo

Hmm...that's a difficult question to answer.

If this is an important character, then my advice would be to do a shit ton of research into their disorder. If it's a side character, than probably not a whole lot of research is required, but some is definitely necessary. I don't know if you know any neurodivergent people irl, but if you do, talking to them about it and asking them questions could be useful. If you don't, I recommend looking into some YouTubers that have the disorder you're writing about and talk about it openly. If you're writing about autism (which is what I have) I recommend Paige Layle and Autism from the Inside as channels to start with. Both have very informative videos with different perspectives.

I don't know exactly which disability you're writing about, but I can only speak as an autistic person. If you're character is autistic, the biggest things I would avoid including are functioning labels (i.e. high-functioning vs low-functioning) and the term Asperger's syndrome. Both are very outdated and very problematic terms, as they derive from Nazi Germany. Unfortunately, I can't speak on any other neurological disorders, sorry.

The only other advice I can think to give you is that, it is impossible to truly understand what it's like to be neurodivergent unless you are neurodivergent. So don't be afraid to get a few things wrong. Just do the best you can and apply any corrections or criticism you may receive.

Good luck and I hope this helps!🥰

Had a dream I was dating paige layle

[your-talos-is-problematic]

hi autistic video creators who move their hands when they talk the same way that i do. i love you. you slay. thank you for helping me feel okay with the way i talk. thankies

[anaddition]

I think I might be autistic but I don’t know, and getting diagnosed where I live takes so long. I feel like I always calculate what to say and what to do, not to be too much of this and be a little more of that. If I’m autistic, I’m high masking but I know theres something. I’m reading But everyone feels this way by Paige Layle and I’m feeling like I’ve finally found a friend that understands me (the other time that happened was with The perks of being a wallflower).

I’m trying to learn all the rules to be a girl (ive done it all my life actually), I need to learn how to dress and how to do my make up and how to do my hair. I want to look like I know what I’m doing.

The thing that I'm still learning to accept is that neurotypical people will never fully accept you, or at least they will if it's on their terms.

I find when I meet someone and I end up trusting them enough to tell them I'm autistic, they instantly hit me with the "Oh, that's okay! I accept you!" thing, and then BAM! The next minute, or as soon as I start exhibiting my autistic behaviours (almost as if I actually have autism), they no longer accept me or like me! One minute I'm being put on this pedestal by the neurotypical person, then the next, I'm totally thrown under the bus.

Now, the first thought I have when this happens is: "What did I do wrong?" I automatically think I've offended them or done something that they don't vibe with. The tricky part, for me at least, is understanding where I went wrong or what I did to make them hate me so much. I will always ask out of curiosity so that I can learn from my mistakes, apologise, move on, and then learn from them. I don't get shitty when someone gives me CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. But the thing is, they never tell me what I've done wrong... So, I just assume they hate me and I don't know why. First emotion: Confusion - "Why do they hate me when one minute they were taking me to MacDonald's and telling me their whole life story?". Second emotion: Sadness... I've just lost another friend (at least that's what I considered them.) The third emotion is anger. I don't need to emphasise on that.

Now, what I've seen on TikTok from a lot of autistic creators, such as Paige Layle, and Morgan Foley, just to name a few, is that they also have experienced the same thing - especially when dealing with neurotypical people (or even other neurodivergent people). Now, I'm NOT saying ALL neurotypical people are bad people. That would be complete bullshit. No, what I'm saying is that a lot of neurotypical people don't have that much understanding or education on neurodiversity (especially autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, etc.) And that's not because they're bad people, they're just not like us. But then the same can be said about us - we are not like them, no matter how much we mask. Therefore, when someone without autism (for example), meets an autistic person who is "high-masking", they may notice there's something "off" about the person but be unaware of what it is, so naturally, they reject it (out of fear maybe?).

That being said, that does not excuse the mistreatment of disabled people. That does not justify the "average autistic experience", whereby, one is bullied, rejected, ignored, invalidated and abused just for being autistic.

[isabelleadjani]

we should uphold some kind of standard for when self-diagnosis is valid (this goes for any condition tbfh but i'm talking about autism only in this post) because it has become way too common for people to literally self-diagnose as autistic based on tiktoks and other posts from autistic creators who spread really dubious misinformation about what actually is included in the diagnostic criteria of asd, and without doing literally any further research into the condition at all. and this undoubtedly contributes to the way that spaces that used to at least have an aspiration of inclusivity (in terms of openness to different autistic experiences and ranges of disability, not necessarily in terms of for example sensitivity to the way that autism intersects with axes of oppression like race, which is an eternal fucking issue of autistic spaces both on- and offline) become progressively more infested by individuals who think that if you are more disabled than like being a bit awkward and not liking bright lights you are fit for nothing other than a freak show or institutionalization.

like it's to the point where even if you have very commonplace issues like not being able to make phone calls and you talk about these issues online, you might have all kinds of autistics (officially and self-diagnosed) telling you how fucking pathetic you are and how being autism is not an excuse for being so inept at life, and you can tell they want to call you the r-slur so fucking bad. and this is not to even mention the attitudes of large parts of the popular autistic "community" towards people who are nonverbal, or who need at-home assistance, or who need others to advocate for them. and i know that self-diagnosed people are not the only problem, because lots of people with a level 1 asd diagnosis (holy shit the fucking asperger-diagnosed) are also real bold. but if people didn't insist on literally every single self-diagnosed person who watched a couple paige layle videos or those dark femininty autism tiktoks or whatever being allowed to speak for the entire spectrum of autistics it would at least be one step in the right direction. at least do some real research. AT LEAST read the goddamn diagnostic criteria (or watch one of the several good youtube videos that go through them in a comprehensive and easy to understand way).

[atomheartz]

please DO NOT SUPPORT mark rober’s autism charity event. the money being raised is going to groups like autism speaks, and from there, the money will go towards thinks like prenatal screenings for autism and abortions for specifically autistic fetuses.

and that, my friends, is eugenics.

if i’ve learned anything from working with neurodiverse people, and having an autistic brother, it’s that no one should be looking for a “cure” for things like autism. they just want to be accepted the way they are, and not have neurotypicals talking over them when it comes to their issues.

( here ) is a video by autistic creator paige layle talking about the situation, as well as providing an alternative event / group to support.
