growing up undiagnosed autistic is like 'huh. i wonder why i feel almost like an alien compared to everyone else and why i have this feeling that i'm fundamentally different from everyone else in a way that i can't really comprehend. how peculiar that it feels like everyone just gets these things i cant possibly wrap my head around. its awfully strange how despite also being mocked and ridiculed for being different, people will also tell me that i'm overthinking and i'm just 'normal like everyone else''. and then time passes and then you have The Realization.

This might be an unpopular opinion but if you’re mean to someone for being awkward, having weird interest, being a picky eater, speaking in a monotone voice, etc, and they later end up being diagnosed with autism, you are, in fact, still ableist. People shouldn’t have to have an official label or dx to be treated like human beings, and the fact that you’re more worried about the social connotations and disapproval you may face for being mean to someone with the autism label rather than being worried that you were cruel to someone who can’t help it says a lot about you.

undiagnosed or late-diagnosed autistics, time to reveal yourselves. what is one memory from your childhood or pre-teen years that should have suggested to people that you might have autism, but didn’t. 
for me, i made my mom sing me a lullaby every night until i was 12, because i didn’t like the idea of my nightly routine ever changing. if she didn’t sing me one, i would get out of bed, go get her from wherever she was in the house, bring her to my room, and make her tuck me in and sing one to me. i wasn’t able to fall asleep until she did.

Who else is with me on my theory that there is cat autism and there is dog autism.
Cat autism:
- usually introverted (exceptions can be made)
- Stare into the void and forget that you're supposed to be taking rapid notes in class
- Switching very quickly from understimulated to overstimulated
- Sleep>>>>>
- Hissing (but most of the time you have to mask it bc then people think you're weird for doing that 😃)
- "How to let someone know you appreciate them when you dont know how"
- Seen as rude and insensitive
Dog autism:
- Usually extroverted (again, exceptions can be made)
- Unintentionally loud
- "I will do anything for you fav person"
- If you give them anything even if it's a fucking gum wrapper they will cherish it for their entire life
- Blurts out thoughts
- Seen as over affectionate and emotional
BOTH:
- Just screaming/yelping as communication
- Gift giving
- DESPISE fireworks/any sudden loud noise
IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER IDEAS Y'ALL HAVE REBLOG I WANNA HEAR THEM (yes some of this is taken from one of Dannyphantom.exe's videos)
I know this because me and my other IRL autistic friend are a PRIME example of why I believe this theory
(EDIT: also I believe there are subcategories. Like black cats and orange cats, golden retrievers and huskies, etc)

When you're listening to music and you find that one specific tune that hits the spot and listen to it on repeat for the rest of the day.

autistic culture is when the only two options in life is to mask and conform to everyone's bullshit while hating yourself because you're not you, or unmasking and being yourself but everyone hates you for being you. Plot twist you're miserable both ways because it's very tiring and being hated isn't fun.

Even if I don't have an ADHD or autism diagnosis, treating myself like I have both has been so freeing. I put in noise cancelling headphones when I'm overstimulated. I sit on the floor in the research lab to work because no one in there cares and I like the floor better than my desk. I cut out the tags on my shirts. I use adhd-friendly organizational tips. I let myself stim in public without feeling bad. I was always taught not to do any of that stuff in order to seem "normal" and conform. I finally gave myself permission to do things that make me feel less shitty in my day to day existence. I gave myself permission to be kind to myself.
So reminder to all the people out there like me: you don't have to wait for a diagnosis to implement things in your life that make you more comfortable.
