Big Warning

If you see a police car or a cop with a speaker looking thing on it, FUCKING RUN. It's known as an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device), a device that, when activated, can permanently damage your hearing and cause serious harm. If you're too close, you'll be left in a lot of pain and squirming on the ground permanently deaf. Ear plugs do not work. Unless you have one of those shooting range headphones, you do not stand a chance against them. Again, if you see them pull up, RUN. This is what they look like.

Stay safe.

I think I might take a shot at some embroidery patches.

I haven't found a lot of Tourettes things I like, and humor is my coping mechanism. I'm wanting to do some stuff that isn't making Coprolalia the butt of the joke, or just some cleaner humor.

Nothing against Coprolalia of course, I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing something like "what do we want? A cure for Tourettes! When do we want it? Cunt!" to like pick up my niece from the bus stop or when going to work.

I'm thinking some things like

"Programed by Bethesda"

"Just a glitch"

"A little ticced off"

Just as a little awareness thing without catering to the stereotypes, and maybe making it more available for younger people or people whose environment isn't okay with vulgarity.

#“just a glitch” is genius haha #I'd buy that 10 times over #this is why I like the tourettes action hashtag #“its not what you think” #I feel like its humerus and also describes the situation perfectly #I've got a pin/badge of it actually

Me: *super excited bc I was just gifted a crochet opossum*

Tourettes gremlin: "Duck-duck!"

Me: "no, we got the opossum, not the duck"

Tourettes gremlin:

BTW for context- "duck-duck" is just a tic that happens when I'm excited, happy, or see ducks. I proceeded to duck-duck off and on for 10 more minutes.

Sometimes no one can tell you have Tourettes. And sometimes you sit in a Team meeting with all your coworkers and keep hitting your plate and yelling "this bitch empty".

And then it just is like that.

I know there's a literacy crisis or whatever but that doesn't give you the right to go after people with intellectual disabilities and people with brain fog and learning disabilities. Sometimes we need help understanding something, we might ask "dumb/obvious" questions. It doesn't mean we aren't trying to pay attention or use critical thinking. Responding to someone's question on the internet with snobby wisecracks about how the person should learn to read or go back to 1st grade is rude at best and ableist at worst. Just ignore the question if you don't want to answer. Don't flatter yourself saying how progressive you are if you turn around and make fun of your friend for asking a question after a movie.

My partner let's me pause and ask questions during shows and movies bc he loves me and wants me to enjoy what we're watching too instead of sitting there confused cause my brain couldn't catch up. Or I lost attention for a few seconds and missed something important.

My favourite part of autism is how often I just don't know shit.

What am I feeling emotionally? Not sure.

What am I feeling physically? No fucking clue.

What are these thoughts and how do I interpret them? Pretty sure Mystery Inc. could work that out quicker than me.

THE NUMBER 7 IS EVIL AND NO ONE WILL CHANGE MY MIND

this is an odd one i know, but there is one specific number that makes me feel nearly fucking SICK to see and i have no idea why. it just makes my skin crawl. i do not like seeing it, most of the time i refuse to say it (if i'm counting i'll say 31, 32, 33, 33, 35,), if i'm watching a timer i will look away for a second when it gets to that number.

it's fucking ridiculous but its been that way as long as i can remember. so PLEASE tell me someone else has this experience.

(and if you do please tell me what number in the tags)

Do you think if an autistic person gets bitten by a zombie the zombie is still autistic

Sometimes, I forget how much a being in a hostile environment can affect you. Last month, I moved away from home (temporarily) and also took a break from school. I haven't had a meltdown or gone through situational mutism ONCE since then. Before, I had one of the 2 weekly AT LEAST.
