The late diagnosed neurodivergent experience of being told you're wrong your entire fucking life.
You're too sensitive,
it's not too loud,
it's not too bright,
it's not overwhelming,
you're just overreacting,
it doesn't smell weird,
the texture is fine,
just eat it,
just wear it,
plans change get over it,
stop being so dramatic,
why are you so argumentative?
I was obviously joking,
why do you take everything so seriously?
I'm not yelling,
It's not a big deal,
stop nitpicking,
stop jiggling/rocking,
stop fidgeting,
stop humming/whistling/clicking,
stop talking about that,
no one cares,
you're annoying people,
you're so high strung,
just relax,
stop worrying,
stop overthinking,
just be normal
and then people act all surprised that you grow up to be an insecure, indecisive wreck. What else did you expect me to be when you spent my whole life teaching me my own perception was faulty and couldn't be trusted?
Grooming me to seek approval and validation from others for every decision I made because whenever I made them myself, they were always wrong.

As a disabled person, I'm telling you right now:
Act disabled.
Stop telling yourself you're acting more disabled than you are.
Crawl to clean your room, use a wheelchair when you're "only" at level 3 pain, wear all the wraps and ice packs
Allow yourself to act disabled and you'll see that it helps you a whole lot when you allow yourself to use any and all tools

Im sorry but I hate tiktok’s “everyone is autistic” vibe
Like, yes, self diagnosis is valid but PLEASE stop telling teenagers that every quirky thing they do is a symptom?
“I dislike loud noises” is different than “loud noises make me want to cry and punch myself in the head until I stop hearing” and YES it is a spectrum but it doesn’t mean everyone is a part of it
If you think you are autistic PLEASE look up the symptoms on reliable sources, find actually autistic people who can really help you out, because thing is, if everyone is “a little autistic” it makes every autistic with big struggles invisible and the help we need is harder to get
I know its hard to get professional help, I really do, it took 21 years for me to get a formal diagnosis, but even if you are looking for answers yourself you have to be responsable and research properly

Autistic culture is knowing a lot of big words and never having to Google the definition due to gradually understanding what it means from the context it was used and being able to give someone a very accurate definition, despite it never actually being confirmed that IS the right definition.

This could really be me, except I was diagnosed even later in life. It truly feels like a life robbed off our identity. Never feeling seen or heard by others. Never being understood, not even today. Except at least now we know why.

Good VS Bad Autism Tattoos
Many people in the autistic community view the puzzle piece as a hate symbol because it implies we're not whole people. We're missing pieces and we're problems that need to be solved. Which is why a lot of us gravitate towards the infinity sign instead! It comes in both rainbow (for neurodiversity) and gold! As the chemical symbol for gold is Au.

Why tf do we fold pjs? Oh no my shirt that literally only my stuffed animals and cat see will be wrinkly
Who exactly is going to stop me from putting my dirty clothes into a small childrens wagon to lug to the laundry room?
I feel like we really underestimate how much we can do sitting: fold? Wash dishes? Shower? Get ready in mirror? Clean? Cut up veggies?
Also no one has explained to me why i cant make my bed while still in it? Like even if I can only do 80% while in it, thats still 80%??
If i throw out all my tubber ware, and get a bunch of only one kind, I'll never have to look for lids. Same with socks!
Separating clothes by color is stupid.
We need less "I'm gonna stack these nicely here so they look nice" and more "I have 85 nice boxes from Joann fabrics, each one has things it in because the boxes hide the fucks I don't give. Socks go in here, papers i need go in here, candles over there, art supplies, pet stuff, meds, pants, books, blankets, makeup, pillows, etc."
Normalize crawling around on your floor to pick up things and tossing them over to the corner of the room closest to where they belong so you can then crawl over there and sit while putting them away.
Normalize screaming.
Why must we eat so many things that we do not like? If I like 5/400 veggies, guess what? Im gonna get so many vitamins from them and anything I'm missing I'm gonna get from other food groups! Its pretty unlikely that I'm missing a crap ton of vitamins when most veggies got 7/10 of the vitamins you need.
Normalize purposefully planning to do nothing at certain times of the day. Sorry I can't go to the park, I'm staring at my wall for 45 minutes at that time, today is the west wall :)
Why do I need to do anything for attention from my friends/partner, why can't I just tell someone I want attention and get my sim bar filled then and there?
All cardboard boxes are canvases waiting for the day.
Why do we even have large spoons in our houses anymore?? We always say we hate them and then we have like 20!!
Let go of the idea that anything is written in stone

Empathy means the ablity to feel someone else's emotions. It doesn't dictate wether or not someone is a good person.
Lacking empathy doesn't mean someone doesn't care or is unkind.

when will higher functioning / less support needs / less disabled autistics realize that the difference between stims and tics isn't voluntary vs. not voluntary
this idea that you can control stims is bad. It (even if not on purpose) says that people who has self injury stims can just stop. we can't. I cant just wait to stim later. If i could just stop injuring myself by stimming, i would.
please stop spreading false information about stims.
the difference between stims and tics is that stims self soothes (even if it hurts you physically) while tics do not

autism x aromanticity
hello, autistic and aromantic person, i have some genuine questions for you.
how do you know the difference?
how do i know if the discomfort i'm feeling is something related to autism or something related to the fact that i don't want/feel the need to be in a relationship?
or, whatever? it doesn't matter if it's autism or aromanticity, the important thing is that you don't want a relationship.
i'm asking because i was very afraid to say that i'm an aromantic person, since it could be something about me being autistic. but genuinely, i don't know what are the differences and if i can consider myself aromantic in any way.
