Please, for the love of god, leave me CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS!!! If you think it’s implied, I promise you that to me it is not. If you give me poorly worded or vague directions I’m gonna spend half an hour stressing over the potential different ways to interpret them and either become paralyzed with indecision or inevitably interpret them the least correct way possible

I hate the way the word “neurodivergent” has changed over time. It is a word with a meaning but people treat it as if it only means ADHD/Autism, which even then are very different things. they may have similar “traits” but they are still two different experiences. Not only is this invalidating the experiences of adhd/autistic people, but to other people who fall under the “neurodivergent” umbrella.
maybe it’s me being autistic, but people saying neurodivergent when they MEAN autistic or adhd confused me because why won’t you just say what you mean? if you want to say autistic why don’t you just say autistic???
so shout out to bipolar people, people with learning disabilities, people with cerebral palsy, people with depression, anxiety personality disorders, and every other non-“normal” brain. You are part of the neurodivergent community. don’t let the people who treat neurodivergent as if it only means “adhd/autism” alienate you.
fellow adhd/autistic people, i’m sorry our experiences have been lumped into one, invalidating our individual struggles. I’m sorry people ( NT and ND alike) are so scared of the words Adhd and autism to the point that they label us something more “appealing”

We really can’t be normal about autistic people huh
Tumblr media
“can exacerbate autism features” “more severe repetitive behaviors” “tougher time making friends” you mean unmasking?? Yeah masking is fucking exhausting and all-consuming, of course its harder without sleep?? Sleepy allistics also loose ability to give 110%? Sleepy allistics also would do worse on tests of intelligence? What the fuck
Also in case it went unnoticed, the source is called spectrum news dot org so please remember not to mistake name or branding for credibility <3

G/t
So have you ever had something that was so special to you, you felt that other people just wouldn’t understand? That’s basically gt for me, it’s a huge part of my life. I don’t mean like as a hobby, I mean that my brain is literally hardwired for gt. Anytime I find something remotely gt related, I get extremely protective over that thing. I feel that even people who also like gt won’t get it. It’s a passion, it’s how I see the world, it’s my obsession. You look at something like a button, or a pin and think ‘wow, that sure is a neat thing right there’ but my brain goes something like ‘oh look a button! I bet a tiny would just love to have that. If I were tiny I sure would like to have that for myself’ or you see a bug or other small thing and probably just pass it off. But I think about how I would take care of that bug, how I would treat it. Which is mainly why I care about animals so much. But it doesn’t even end there! Even as I child I remember doing and liking things that were gt related, even before I discovered it. I found the gt community 2 years ago and I feel like I found myself. Sort of like a puzzle piece that didn’t fit quite right before, but now I’m complete. I know it’s weird, and I know most other people don’t get it. Some say I’m autistic or some other form of neurodivergence but this is just me. I get gt, it’s important to me and I care deeply about it. I want to protect it and keep it safe. I get extremely insecure when people don’t get it, or when they say I’m wired for liking it so much. But in reality I just cherish it deeply. Sorry for the long text, it’s just really hard to express how much I love gt. Gosh I’m so weird..

I hear a lot about the autistic tendency towards honesty and authenticity, but what where are the other autistics who had their honesty and authenticity repeatedly and/or severely punished early on, and now feel conditioned to be inauthentic and insincere in social situations as a mask? It’s not that everything I say to others is an outright lie, but almost everything I say is very carefully tailored to be as watered-down, vague, inoffensive, passive and palatable as possible. It’s like I have such an intense, irreparable lack of understanding for what is expected/acceptable in every given social situation that I have to overcompensate by obsessively policing my own words and being myself and saying my genuine thoughts/feelings/opinions as little as possible.
It’s like knowing you’re supposed to color in a coloring page, knowing from experience you’ll be punished if you don’t, but not being able to see where the lines are drawn, so you color in as little of the page as possible in hopes that maybe you’ll be able to stay in the lines and avoid punishment, even if your art (or in reality- your self worth, ability to connect to others, etc) suffers as a result.

Allistics are all behind autistic people until you do autistic things that autistic people do like rehearsing facial expressions and talking to yourself and speaking in the "wrong" tone and not wanting to be touched and saying the exact same words that someone just said to you back to them and liking your stuff a specific way and rewatching the same episode of the same show 10 times in a row to self soothe and blinking too fast and verbally stimming or stimming at all and not having the "correct" reaction to things. Then you're "weird" and "rude" and "a control freak." It's all, "It doesn't matter that you're autistic as long as you're autistic in a way that is identical to how allistic people behave. I don't care as long as I'm never reminded that it exists."

As and autistic teenager. I relate so much to quinni !! Her " outburst" took the words out of my mouth . I always feel like a burden if i dont mask, but it's so dranning. Nobody seems to get how despite "having it mild" as some might assume how mu h energy i put in daily just to fit in with society, and it's still not enough

So turns out my mom believes that all my struggles caused by me being autistic are actually caused by Internet addiction (which I don't have) because she watched half a documentary on internet addiction
Unfortunately a lot of the time I'm forced to use internet, music, ebooks, funfiction, podcasts and series as an escape from a world where my needs were never met and still aren't to this day so I have no other way of coping with sensory, emotional or any other issues.

Misophonia is the WORST because I get so angry over literally nothing. Like someone will just be breathing next to me weird and I have to resist the urge to break something. It’s weird to me that my reaction to sounds (usually made by other people) like audible chewing, sniffling, etc, is immediately anger. For other sounds that bother me it’s more like general discomfort that distracts me and makes me deeply uneasy. Not rage.
I sometimes feel shitty about it, too, because I can be a jackass to people who I know aren’t doing anything wrong. I hate being mad about something and not feeling like it’s justified, and I know it isn’t fair to tell them to stop. So I try to repress my gut reaction but it usually ends up spilling out by me snapping at someone or hitting something. I’m not an aggressive person by nature. It scares me.

Gender is insane what does it even mean the dictionaries don’t even know. Its all made-up nonsense. I’m too autistic for this. Gender is canceled and silliness will take its place there is no more gender only silliness.

I fucking hate being autistic in this society. I hate that I’m made to feel like a burden just by existing. That my mere existence is a problem. People wonder why our self esteem is so goddamn low oh maybe it’s because we’re shown and taught that (at best) we’re something to tolerate.

Autism Problems 2
I hate the fact that when I ask a question because I am curious, neurotypicals see it as I’m an idiot, being rude, or offending them. Yesterday I asked my mother if she had put the proper amount of ingredients into the food, because it seemed like such a small amount, and she got pissed and automatically assumed I think she’s stupid. I didn’t call her stupid, and it wasn’t my intention to make her feel that way either. The worst part was when my father came over and asked me why I had asked her that. Am I seriously not allowed to ask questions or be curious? If something doesn’t seem right, shouldn’t I make sure it was correct? She always perceives my questions as rude or offensive, when in turn I’m just trying to understand things. I haven’t told anyone I’m autistic, so she doesn’t know, but that shouldn’t be an excuse. I just want to understand things properly, and to be understood, but with the way people react to my behaviors and traits and just me in general, it’s highly unlikely that it will ever happen.

In regards to my last post, someone in the comments mentioned that if discrimination is against Roblox rules, then their moderation is breaking their own rules. So I took screenshots of the specific sections of their rules that describe discrimination, hate speech, and slurs. And look what I found.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Disability is specifically mentioned, including mental disabilities. So would you consider not being allowed to make something about being autistic (as an autistic person, to share a positive message about it) discrimination? Is it discrimination to not let disabled people create things related to their disability - a part of their identity? And if so, don't you think Roblox should really make sure that their moderation system abides by their own rules.
This isn't the only thing they have issues with moderating either. I've had trouble regarding sexual orientation and gender identity moderation, and I've heard others talk about the problems in moderating racism. There's just a serious moderation problem in general when it comes to identities. Maybe if we're loud enough about it, Roblox will make an effort to fix it.

Crying in bed alone because autism is very hard, cannot have fun outside with people because makes me nervous/sick…just want be like everyone else but I can’t…Miss on birthdays, seeing family and some friends…it’s debilitating and it’s even harder because 95% of my family doesn’t accommodate my needs based from my autism because they don’t believe I am despite my diagnosis…I feel so lonely, my fiancée/CG, online friends and my AgeRegression truly brings me happiness but when I see how much I am lacking behind in comparison with other people my age, it hurts…
I don’t feel 22, I only feel like a tiny child in an adult costume too big for myself…I am forever 3years old…forever too fragile for mundane things..
Sadness is an intricate part of my soul, I pray every night that I’ll be able to do more things than yesterday, sometimes I can and a lot of times I cannot,
I am crying tonight because I am tired, things didn’t go as planned today so I guess it’s the way my body tries to calm down to avoid a meltdown
Writing help my brain, helps soothe myself like a hug would do, I need full pressure on my body, it’ll help, writing gives me this sensation,
I am sad tonight but it mean that I’ll be happier tomorrow and this all that matters🪽
