I think having a baby niece is great cause my brother will send me just a constant stream of messages that sound indistinguishable from how someone at Jurassic park would text if they were being hunted by the raptor

#THE FIRST ONE IS LITERALLY A JURASSIC PARK QUOTE LMAO #jurassic park #jurassic world

[alwaysahiccupandastrid]

It makes me happy when they listen

Saw a thread on Twitter of "gifts to give a person with ADHD and autism" that was full of stereotypical and quite frankly patronizing items, so here's a list of I (autistic individual) want instead as a gift

Money

Fourteen billion dollars

Free coupon to kill somebody with my teeth

Suitcase full of money

Cool looking rock

Scratching post for me to sink my claws into

An albino elephant

The head of Jeff Bezos mounted on my wall

Uncooked rice

A cup full of blood

100k in cash

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.

I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.

I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.

There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me

idc about the "human ears on a catgirl" debate but i DO care about people who draw prey animals with paw pads. rabbits don't have pawpads rats don't have pawpads hedgehog don't have pawpads bats don't have pawpads squirrels don't have paw pads. paw pads are extremely rare in prey animals and i know im being a stupid no fun nerd about it but it hurts me in my brain when i see it

once again thinking about how the neurodivergent understanding of Happy Feet makes the movie 10x better and the fact that most people are neurotypical and just wouldn't get it is why the movie is so slept on (seriously it's so good). mumble is autistic coded and the whole movie begins to make sense when you consider the in depth implications of that.

oh and also reminder that happy feet was originally made for adults which explains a lot of the weirder, venereal moments
