What Not To Say When Someone Tells You They Are Autistic

What Not To Say When Someone Tells You They Are Autistic

Coming aut can be really scary. There is a lot of prejudice against Autistic people in this world, and, far too often, Autistic people are injured or killed because of these prejudices. Even when violence does not occur, the reactions of those we tell can be incredibly hurtful, especially when people we care about dismiss or invalidate us. This is not to say that it isn’t worth it. There are…

Congratulations! I remember how I felt when my husband brought home my electric wheelchair. I was over the moon; now I could get around on my own without getting too tired to do anything when I reached my destination. It's amazing to get that feeling and you need to enjoy it! Sending love and spoons!

Thank you! It’s so exciting to be able to move around with less pain. 

Last night, I went to walmart for some black friday shopping and normally a trip to walmart leaves me in a lot of pain and exhausted and overloading, but I actually made it through unscathed last night!!

Sending you love and many spoons as well <3

that looks great, congratulations!! how are you planning to decorate it?

Thank you!! So far, I’ve covered the yellow parts with duct tape, some have polka dots and others have stars. I plan on getting more duct tape to decorate with and some patches to attach to the back rest.

Pro tip:

Wanna find a post?

Write out what you remember into a Google search.

After you write that out, end with site:tumblr.com

Google will search for your text on just tumblr

In my experience, it's way more effective than searching through Tumblr

(you can use site:SITENAME.com to search any site btws)

I love how the search function on this site is absolute garbage. I can look up a post word for word and I will NEVER find it

That's such a snazzy rollator! Looks super practical! Huge wheels and bag and even a comfy backrest, wow. I'm happy you'll be more able to walk with it!!

Okay, that thing is awesome, and other people not seeing that are just being ridiculous

Thank you!! It’s hard because I know they’re dealing with a lot of internalized ableism and that it’s more about them than me, so I have a lot of understanding for them, it just hurts to not have their support right now. 

But the support that you and so many others have given me has meant so much! It’s really helped to get so much support from my community <3
