Autistic jotaro is so dear to me. no more small uwu cutesy gremlin autism (i respect you guys though) please i need his "divorced because of his inability to communicate with his wife and emotional repression" 6'5 marine biologist with poor emotional regulation autism rep hes so fucking funny. his ass is not thinking about anything but starfish. He thinks people can just tell his emotions because he doesn't get how nts read body language. I just know he practiced all his dumbass lines in front of a mirror and took them from manga he read because he had no idea how to socialize. star platinum literally emotes FOR him and star platinum is just a silly fucking fella. incredible

#jotaro kujo #youre welcome person who wanted me to make it into a post #jjba #sdc #stardust crusaders #this man is so autistic its painful i love him #i genuinely do appreciate him so much though like i dont think araki intended this at all but he ended being a pretty good rep of a like #'highfunctioning' autistic person whose autism traits still influence his personality leading to things like him fucking up his marriage #nd tag

My brother and I are only 11 months apart. He was born male and even though I'm a transman- I was born female, duh.

We're both diagnosed with autism.

My brother was diagnosed first, just before 3 years old. He didn't have much language, he screamed and banged his head constantly. By 6 years old, he had no friends but could complete entire realistic pictures by memory. He hit and bit people and couldn't stand others. His art was more vivid and imaginative than any adult could even try. Even his teachers found it a miracle.

By 6 years old I only struggled making friends. Plugged my ears and screamed at loud noises. I was hyper-verbal, my speech above average at a young age. Even when I did make friends, they turned out just to be bullies, they found my existence a joke. My report cards said I was either trying too hard, or not hard enough.

In high school, my brother was popular, and won multiple awards in acting. We both graduated with as scholars and more. Now he's living with his girlfriend and has a career.

Even though I'm older, I'm struggling through my second attempt of university and I can't even shower without a prompt my mother wrote down for me. I know I could never handle having a partner.

All this to say- Autism and its "severity" can look different to everyone, and look very different at different ages. Even though when I was younger, my brother struggled more than me- now that we're older, the page has flipped. Autism is not linear.

a small but extremely relieving accomodation/change to my room: i put amber gel filters (the same one used in theatre lighting) over the extremely blue-white LED lights our landlord put in to get warmer light

before:

after:

we did this in the living room a couple months ago and i could literally feel my shoulders untense and my sensory load decrease!!! it also looks so much cozier & warmer. especially with the white walls, it looked very clinical with the lights fully on

all it took was some tape and some amber gel i cut to shape. this is what it looks like with the lights off:

its not pretty, but who really notices lights that are off anyway?

its easily put on, easily removable when we have to move out (tape is on outer plastic rim of light, not the ceiling), definitely worth the like $20 of amber gel. the gel can also stand up to heat bc its rated for those big, hot theatre lights.

it helps me so much in my day to day, i highly rec this to anyone with light sensitivities and issues with blue-white light!

you'd think with how much my brain loves tumblr polls it'd be more willing to answer questions such as what is this current bout of lethargic discontent a) genuine exhaustion just rest a lil b) you're just lazy you silly goose get off your ass c) actually brewing depressive episode go get out the coping mechanisms before it gets worse. alas. after frankly way too many years to name them it's still the same fun game during the first 1-3 days each and every damn time. human brains, such marvels amiright

Does anyone else with ADHD/Autism/Etc? have this like... big gap between how they experience mental-emotional responses vs physical-emotional ones?

Idk if there's better or Actual terminology to describe that (Im sure there is), but it's been much easier to notice lately especially after coming off of my antidepressants and going through a couple Emotional things.

A sort of lighthearted example, though:

- I hear a news piece about Red Wolf pups being born, the first in many years. They play a sound bite of the wolves howling and barking. My heart feels like it's being crunched, my face gets hot and I start like. Quiet sobbing. Just got tears and throat closing up etc.

- the actual THOUGHTS im having are "Aw thats so good!! Nice!". Physically it's like. x80. This lasts under a minute and fades and I can function again and go on just being normal level happy/excited.

This applies to like. Everything. Sad, happy, excited, angry, frustrated, etc etc. Like, I hear bad/upsetting news and it's the same process of "normal level of feeling about this happening in my thoughts" vs "oh god is that person okay???" on the outside. And it's FRUSTRATING especially when it's in front of people or due to being Mildly Criticized, because like, listen, no im NOT that upset I just cannot control this at all and will be fine if u give me like 10 seconds. I promise I am not that nonfunctional.

conceptually autism is really funny. you have Fucking Weirdo Disorder and it will impact your life in ways youll be finding out about years after this diagnosis. you are likely to want to meow about it

doing groupwork in class as an autistic person is fucking crazy. like why is it hard for you to communicate with me. why do you get passive aggressive when i ask for clarification. and if you're going to act like that why am i not allowed to get aggressive back at you. blows you up with my mind.

you ever have an interaction and all you can do is sit afterwards and say to yourself "i have autism."
