Autism acceptance includes accepting all autistic manners of communication.

That means supporting autistic people who talk in a "very childish" way. (I do this a lot irl)

Autistic people who do "TV talking" (this means talking like a character from your favorite media,basically talking in quotes and copying their speech patterns,as far as I know)

Autistic people who use echolia.

Autistic people who are very awkward/quirky when they communicate.

Autistic people who are overly technical,or have very sophisticated and articulate speech.

Autistic people who mumble.

Autistic people who talk really fast.

Autistic people who can't control their tone of voice/inflection.

Autistic people who talk in a monotone voice.

Autistic people who use different kind of sounds,or body language to communicate.

Autistic people who talk slowly and draw out their syllables.

Autistic people who use a lot of sentance fillers.

Autistic people who use Aac devices,communication cards,etc etc.

Edit: acceptance of nonverbal autistics is also necessary. Nonverbal people deserve love,respect,acceptance,accommodation and support.

Hey guys I figured out how my school bullies knew I was weird

[snakeautistic]

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

Cannot overstate the panic and dismay I feel when people's responses in a social interaction do not follow the multiple scripts that I have invented and rehearsed in my head prior to the interaction

Suddenly all my preparation is thrown out of the window and I'm having to juggle masking, listening and processing a thousand variables at once

“You make your whole personality autism”

What actually happened is I found out that 90% of my personality is autistic traits and I am not as unique and original as I thought I was

i wanna say fuck you to anyone who shame disabled, chronically ill & neurodivergent people, especially homebound folks, for "spending too much time on their phone/on the internet/etc." when it's the only (Somewhat) accessible way for them to experience the world. many people don't get to get out much even if they want to because of their disabilities. shaming someone for trying to connect with the world, make friends and engage with hobbies in ways that are accessible to them is beyond cruel and unnecessary

When you consume a new piece of media and you just KNOW this one character is autistic but you can’t find anyone else talking about it online and you start to feel insane

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

I had the absolute displeasure of taking the brand new digital SAT with 1 and a half time. They make you sit until the end of your allotted time for each section with nothing to entertain yourself and it’s hell. I was stuck in the testing room for 6 hours. I did appreciate the extra time for the math part, but for everything else it was unnecessary for me.

I swear all of us in there bonded over it being horrible. I really don’t get why they don’t design it so you can’t just move on to the next part when you’re done. It would have saved me literal hours and some of my sanity because I started writing fan fiction in the annotation feature and carving my pencil with a thumbtack I found on the floor to pass the time. Such a simple design change and it’s all fixed. There are plenty of other standardized tests test let you go at your own pace, even if I hard time limit has to be set at least let people move on early.

Because it was honestly incredibly unpleasant and I’m not even sure if it was worth it. But hey they gave us pizza afterwards though

I keep getting told off for climbing things and it’s really frustrating to me. I like to climb, I feel safer in a higher up spot, and it brings me a lot of joy. It’s not something I often get to do, though.

And I know it’s not standard to scale anything you see. I know it’s going to draw attention. Which sucks, because I just want to do my own thing and get a cool view. But people take notice. They gawk. Part of it is genuine concern for my safety, which is fair enough. I’m careful, and I don’t think theres that much to worry about, but of course people might not know this immediately.

Still though, it’s not like I’m hurting anyone. And I suspect it’s more about the social deviation than potential physical risks anyway. Because people react extremely similarly to other behavior that has 0 physical risk. People are uncomfortable seeing someone behave in a way they aren’t used to, and naturally default to trying to coax me down. This past week I had climbed up to the windowsill outside of our school when our class went outside, and my teacher, who had yelled at me to get down and rushed over to the scene, said something that made me think- he said “I’m not worried about your physical safety, but you can’t be in the windows. If people see you through the windows they’re going to think you’re a threat- they’re going to lock down the school thinking there’s a shooter”

(Now I really doubt they would think I’m a shooter for?? Climbing?? But let’s take his words at face value here) And that made me think- what about a teenager climbing onto the windowsill is threatening any way? What real reason would you have to associate that with violence except for abnormality?

Because of course anything abnormal is feared. Even if there’s no rational reason for it. And that pisses me off so badly- because why do I have to stop doing something that harms absolutely no one and makes me happy? There is nothing I respect less than rules simply for the sake of rules.

I recently finally got a weighted blanket and I have mixed feelings. On one hand I love being compressed and it’s generally a pleasant sensation to lie down flat with it over me. I could even do with it crushing me a little more. On the other hand this thing is heavy, and hauling it around is probably single-handedly going to get me jacked. It’s too heavy for me to go tent mode in it and pull it over my head. If I try to do something with my arm half under the blanket and half not I get bogged down. None of that is really all that surprising I suppose, but it is starting to drive me insane every time I have to move the blanket. Also I had to put a cover on it… impossible needed my mothers help
