redd animal crossing doesnt even know if the art hes selling you is fake he literally just gets it from god knows where and is like “this looks sick” and then puts it on his boat
tip for ppl with adhd who struggle with active listening: try to summarize what the person is saying in your mind. ask questions about what they’re saying and respond with full statements that correlate directly to the topic as opposed to generic responses like “yeah, that’s rough” or “mhm i get that”. if you feel you’re starting to zone out, try fidgeting with something like slime. i know it’s hard because our minds inevitably start to wander but any effort you put into being a better listener will make you a better friend.
I don't know how to phrase this, but I feel like autism acceptance in the public eye is less about actually accepting all autistic people and more about creating this image of autism that's like funky quirky hand flappy disorder. Like everyone wants an autistic friend who can rattle off cool facts about random subjects or an uwu soft bean who they must protect! And so many people put emphasis on hyper empathy and "so many of us are actually really empathetic uwu".
But what all of that completely ignores is there are negative sides to autism and we will sometimes do things that piss you off. No one wants to deal with the meltdowns or the complete and utter lack of empathy or the anger and the depression. What about those of us who self injure when we stim and have angry explosive meltdowns? Who are occassionally too blunt and too withdrawn and rude and offputting?
I'm not saying it's your job to deal with all of that. It is also on us to try to manage and control our own behavior. But it just seems to me like everyone wants nuerodivergent pride until we do something you don't like. Until we start acting "scary".
Autism acceptance means you accept all of us. Those of us who are non verbal, semi verbal, have high support needs or "inconvenient" symptoms. Those of us who aren't palatable.
the concept of finals week and having all of students final major exams one after the other within a 5-day span requiring less sleep more exertion and more stress is ableist actually
