Fuck it whatever it's my blog I think I can rant whatever I want
(expasated Victorian lady voice) oh lord heavens! I feel so angry!
#ok this is gonan have several disclaimers first I'm not a good writer myself but like when ur writing a character with disorders/on the spec#you should at least do your research. or don't do it at all. it's actually very obvious whej if someone's trying or not regardless of how-#“good” they are at their craft. if ur writing something you DON'T have experience with you can at the very least look things up?#I'd likely not talk about this but I've been seeing this person so frequently i have a feeling its not even smth theu wrote themselves so#overstimulation has different levels but when ur writing a char who has autism+ is overstimulated taking away one source of sensory overload#isnt going to make everything go away. if they're stressed by noise and bright light (two sources) u should try adjusting both to calm them#but even that is acceptable i just...i just felt upset by how the other char treated them#saying “I admire how you see the world” sounds nice on paper but comes across weird when said person is overstimulated and clearly upset btw#picking up thinhs normal people miss too...even if that's true saying it when stimuli others are ok with is clearly TROUBLING them is like#and also. use of “little quirks” to describe these things is really really hurtful#“quirks” are not adhering to social norms bc u find it fun but autism is being UNABLE to do so u dont get a choice. that's the whole reason-#why “masking” exists. why ppl made up stuff like “high and low functioning” autism.#being autistic (and neurodivergent in general) is punished socially unless ur acting in an “acceptable” way.#saying being w someone w autism is a “challenge” u like is also very#feels like a backhanded compliment#cherry on top w “I'll gamble on us anyday” in character? maybe. but given the context? feels awful#idk I might be being a negative nelly but i dont careeeee I was eo upset#oh well. im not tagging this as anything so it's ok
