Neurodivergent culture is looking suspicious even when you know you've done nothing wrong, and finally beginning to realise that's why you got into trouble for things you never did as a kid.

I love eating food “wrong” because it makes the experience about 10 times more enjoyable. It used to drive my parents crazy but that didn’t stop me!! I would pick the chocolate chips out of my cookies and eat them separately, split apart the frosting from cake, sort my M&Ms and eat them in a very specific way- (first, you sort them into different colors, then you eat them until you have the same amount of each color, and then you eat them alternately in least to most favorite color order).

I also had a phase where I used to buy a giant bag of smarties and label every wrapper with a number and eat from the highest number counting down, saving any of the white smarties in a bag until I’d eaten the rest of them. No clue why I did this but it made that mediocre candy extremely fun.

Doing stuff like that doesn’t hurt anyone and it’s fun so I don’t get why it gets pushback sometimes!

number 1 thing not to say to a person having an autistic meltdown:

“You’re getting all worked up over nothing.”

Autistic culture is denying that you are autistic because of your personality traits.

I’m hyper-empathetic and experience most emotions on an extreme level. I’m also very imaginative and prefer creative activities over rational ones. I enjoy socializing (despite it being difficult for me) and I really wish I could make friends.

But I was told that all autistic people are emotionless, asocial, and behave robotically. Guess what? None of that is even mandatory in the diagnostic criteria!!!

Every neurodivergent person is different. People have their own personalities and identities outside of the stereotypes about their neurology.

Julia from Sesame Street. A sweet girl with a strong memory who loves drawing & engaging in parallel play. Makes little to no eye contact & flaps her arms as a form of stimming. Engages in echolalia. Uses noise-cancelling headphones due to sound sensitivity. Needs questions to be repeated or rephrased so she understands. Struggles with doing multiple things at once. Introduced with the line "She does things just a little differently, in a Julia sort of way." A wonderful mascot for autism education, awareness, & acceptance.

was not expecting to be hit so hard by Percy yelling at his mom “There’s something wrong with my brain!”

living with adhd, and autism, and all the myriad of neurodivergencies that exist is so exhausting, sitting there literally begging my own brain to just work normally for once instead of constantly reminding me that I’m actually living in a different world entirely than neurotypical people WE PROCESS REALITY DIFFERENT idk… that just smacked me in the face and knocked me on my ass

10/10 perfect, no notes

Low emotional permanence neurodivergent culture is describing your bad day as "a bad week" because you immediately forget you were ever content with your life the moment things are bad.

Two girls (neurotypical) in one my classes were calling each other ‘acoustic’ jokingly. I was bothered by this- they were using it to banter or sort of “play insult” each other. Both of them are the types of people who consider themselves somewhat progressive, and would never say directly that they don’t like/ think less of neurodivergent people.

I guess it really struck me because one of them is one of the girls who pretended to befriend me in middle school, only to mock me. Because I was different, because I was awkward. Because I was autistic. But I don’t know if she even realized that. Im not sure if she even remembers bullying me at all. I’m sure I’m not important to her life. She really fucked up mine. I still get incredibly anxious whenever I’m just in the same room with her. My heart races, I start to sweat, and my mind races with the fear she might see me and judge me. And that’s so fucking unfair. How come she gets to hurt people without even realizing it? Why is it that the people she’s harming are the ones who have to bear all of that?

If she had hated me, felt genuine malice towards me and vowed to make my life hell- obviously that would suck. But I almost wish she had. It’s almost worse that I mattered so little to her, was seen as so much less of real person to her that she could treat me shitty without it ever bothering her. Without ever wondering if she was wrong. I feel something white-hot like rage bubble up in me when I think about it. But there’s nothing I can do. I can’t make her care. I can’t make people sorry for things they don’t even realize they’re doing.

the infantilised spectacle of autistic representation

"I decided to look into it, and ended up going on a deep dive that took me from the legacy of Nazi Doctors during the Second World War, to the worrying consequences of the savant genius myth. In this video we’ll be looking at characters from Sheldon Cooper in Big Bang Theory to Raymond in Rain Man, and shows from Love on the Spectrum to Heartbreak High, as well as autistic headcanons and theories - to breakdown the state of autistic representation today..." watch the video essay on youtube here

My neurodivergent friendships are some of the most beautiful things I experience. When you live your life feeling disconnected and alone from others. Meeting people you feel connected is kind of overwhelming. I have craved close, supportive friendships since I was nine. Finally, I have them, and it's amazing. Because I know that these people get me. On a fundamental level, they have experienced the same shit I have.

Your people are out there, I promise.

something i feel like people who aren’t ND don’t really understand is how much we care so so so deeply about things. not just our special interests and hyperfixations but also little things that we find, small experiences, things we see, and people (especially). like sometimes i absolutely love with all my heart til it hurts n i feel like im gonna explode and it almost is a shame that other people sometimes just don’t.
