can we talk about how much i DESPISE MBTI TESTS PLEASE?????
I AM AN INFP/INFJ BUT IN ORDER TO NOT BE GROUPED IN WITH EMOTIONAL AND RELAXED PEOPLE I HAVE TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST ON THESE STUPID TESTS ABOUT HOW I AM EMOTIONALLY STUNTED AND TEND TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON LOGIC
which by the way is NOT my preferred method of making decisions but my emotions are unreliable!!!!!!
I AM A CREATIVE AND HUMANITARIAN INDIVIDUAL PERSON BUT I ALSO DO HAPPEN TO HAVE AUTISM (undiagnosed unfortunately) WHICH IS A DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER THAT IMPEDES MY ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE MY EMOTIONS EFFECTIVELY AND MAKES EMOTIONAL CONVERSATIONS DIFFICULT AND UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME
so basically my choices are: be autistic (intp) or be a therapist (infp)
or, if i can figure out how to make the test say what i want, i can be not like other girls (infj)
this is why i can’t find a job isn’t it

Sometimes when your parents are angry they’ll say something that gives light to their own childhood and you realize Holy Shit a) that explains it and b) that’s so sad.
Thinking specifically about one story my mom would always proudly tell when I did something wrong about how “easy “ I have it. As a child a great grandparent was asked to get something from a drawer—specifically the bottom drawer. They went all the way upstairs, checked the drawer, couldn’t find the thing, then came back down to report to their mother. And this woman apparently hit the fucking roof. The reasoning being that the kid “didn’t think” to check the other drawers when they couldn’t find it in the first one. The kid in question was 5 years old. This is an age where if you put the same amount of water in a short wide cup and a tall thin one, they’ll say there’s more in the taller one because the level is higher. And the fact that this story was passed down from generation to generation as an example of how the child was in the wrong and as a guide on how a kid’s mistakes should be handled is infuriating and incredibly depressing. Anyway I always took it as she said until one day, after having learned a tiny bit of developmental psychology, where I took an incredibly calculated risk and said something like, “that’s really sad. A 5y/o can’t necessarily reason at that level—their brain development isn’t physically there yet. For their mom to get so irrationally mad at them because she forgot where she put something was really low. She should have been able to own up to her own mistake.” And I’ll tell you normally a comment like this would’ve got me murdered, but I don’t think she’d ever quite…thought about it that way. She went quiet and changed the subject, and since then it’s never been brought up with that same haughty “see how good you have it! People deserve to be treated like this!” energy.

rise raph also has autism swag: a post
so basically heres a quick little cap collection just of some of raph not getting social cues or reading tones etc
01. minotaur maze, calls leo out on being up to something only because of the use of the word “indubitably” (bonus: so into behavior pattern/routine that even though leo admits outright that he lied to get them to do the maze, raph just continues having half an argument like leo denied it)
02. mrs cuddles, raph is fully wholly completely unaware of the suspicious pre-prank energy his brothers and april are giving with their faces, actions, and tones of voice. like he fully 100% does not suspect a thing
03. stuck on you, raph does not pick up on the fact that his brothers are CLEARLY only saying that the teamwork ball they complained about all episode ~really did make them a better team and they wanna get back together~ to make him feel better bc he was sad it got wrecked
04. shadow of evil, does not pick up on or suspect ANYTHING about the weird-ass energy of the mutually-lying-and-hiding-something exchange they had with splinter. look at him. he is in the middle of being like “we nailed it i can’t believe he fell for that”. i love him.
05. mutant menace, raph is VERY ANGERY that people were unable to tell that the note they left with their ‘good deeds’ was using THE JUST-KIDDING QUOTES AND JUST-KIDDING WINKY FACE!!!! this whole ep could make a case for his autism swag, it’s so.... he is understanding many things in a way that makes a ton of sense to him that is largely not understood by others
06. the ancient art of ninja hide and seek, where raph spends almost the entire mission taking “stick to the shadows” as literally and face-value as turtle-ly possible and thinks he is absolutely nailing it.
07. snow day, (or lbr any other time he interacts w ghost bear) just. so so so excited about his favorite wrestler... very much having that override the fact that ghost bear is clearly not about this
08. raph’s ridealong, goes through the entire process of getting mistaken for a criminal, freaking out a whole police station, getting apprehended and thrown into the back of the wagon, without clocking any of that energy (bc he is so excited to do a cool activity related to his extreme interest in crimefighting/justice)
and like thats just the stuff i found idly browsing through caps i bet theres a ton of other examples on the social front alone, let alone stuff like stims, special interests, behavior patterns, etc.
BONUS:
late fee, iconic autism to autism communication

lets get one thing straight, trans women are the most important people on this planet
trans people have always been a part of the world before the british colonialists tried to take over the world and distort the world into a binary that makes less and less sense as you look at it.
Trans women, trans men, all trans people between, either, both, neither and all forms of nonbinary gender has always been a part of the world. Trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are the genders they say they are. Gender is deeply personal and attached to tradition and spirituality for some and for some its just an inconvenience and both are completely fine experiences and no one has the right to tell you that youre living wrong.
no dumbass white supremacist-adjacent vagina-flavored """"feminists"""" will ever be welcome here or near me. Fuck all terfs, radfems, febfems, 'gender critical' whatever the fuck you wanna call yourselves away from me and my trans siblings. nothing you say will ever matter and your "feminism" is a joke without trans women, especially listening to black trans women.
if youre a terf eat glass and jump off a fucking roof youre no better than male white supremacists who function off the same transmisogyny, transphobia, homophobia, gender essentialist and colonialist ideals but in a far more pathetic "please like me" tone
