The Darkest Purple

I sat up, and gathered myself out of my deep depressed like slumber. I hear the words but I registered nothing of the point. Thoughts flood but completely escape me. Just knowing my purpose is where I would rather start. The conversation of the evening before is at my forefront. My needs as a human to the back. I rush to dedicate myself to a resolution for the situation is not only personal but…

I have no idea how long this is going to stay up, so enjoy it while it lasts guys (also shout out to myself for getting out of bed no less than four times last night to try and get Bog's FunkyFace right and to my fiance for not smothering me with a pillow after the second time)

Are you poor as fuck? Had a bad day? Does your boss suck? Out of shape?That's cool. Fun is free. 🎉 To all those experiencing the struggle. It's all a choice. Sometimes you just have to learn to step away and do things that make you happy.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Dealing with life, everyday circumstances and emotions can be very tough. You are a brave soul though on a mission, destined for greatness. Keep going. Keep trying. Keep believing.

Day 30!

I am actually glad this is over LOL.

“Acceptance means”....

Boy do I have quite a bit to say about this, but it mostly centers around some of my youngest son’s other family members refusing to accept that he’s autistic. I simply don’t understand why they hesitate, or try any other explanations - as if autism is the absolute worst thing, or something. Or wail about “why does he need a label”...first of all, it’s not a LABEL, it’s a WAY OF BEING, and yes I would think that’s a pretty important thing to know about someone. *makes inarticulate frustrated sounds*

I’m not trying to get myself all irritated at 7:30 in the morning, though. So I’m not going to speak of that specifically, any further. (It’s just when I think of the word “acceptance”, I automatically think of that first, every damn time. Grr.)

So...acceptance to me, just means that you embrace that person as they are, and you accept that the autism isn’t an “aside”, like say “I really like Joe, except that he’s a Republican - but I can look past that most times.” You CANNOT look past it - not unless you expect that autistic person to constantly mask around you so you don’t get uncomfortable- and that’s not fair. How would you like it if you had to behave as if you were at a fancy, formal dinner *all the time*? Or inside a boardroom? When we aren’t masking, it’s like you (speaking to NTs here) being kicked back in a lawn chair with a beer on a Saturday, after an exhausting week trying to please your client base. You don’t have to worry about *any* of those fools today, you’re just comfortably chillin’ in your own space, doing your own thing. Then imagine needing to stay in your suit all weekend, and speak to and act around your family the same way you do with clients you’re trying to please. Fuuuuuuck that.

Acceptance means understanding we are all our own people, and autism affects each one of us differently. Stop comparing us to each other - that takes you even further away from understanding, IMO.

Acceptance means understanding that ABA is like LGBTQ conversion therapy. It’s harmful, and can cause severe PTSD. ABA simply trains us, like dogs, to perform or suppress a behavior to be more socially pleasing to those around us. ABA *does not help US*.

Acceptance means LISTENING TO US and how WE feel. It means not speaking over us. Acceptance means understanding that autism is *developmental*, not *intellectual*. STOP TALKING DOWN TO US and infantilizing us omg. Even if we’re nonverbal - we are whole, thinking people inside.

I’ll end with this...

When thinking about Acceptance, I always remember this Ram Dass quote: “When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”

So, to end this, practice thinking of your Autie friend or family member like a tree. Autism isn’t a “disease” (especially not one we’re going to “recover” from). That funky little bent tree in the forest isn’t going to “straighten out”. Why would you want it to? Just embrace it...we auties can be fun and funky too, if you just learn to accept. Not tolerate. Accept.

So smile and strugglesnuggle your Autie! (THAT WAS A JOKE, PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT 😂)

Peace out ✌🏼
