Ich habe diesen account gefunden der alles ist was ihr braucht aus der neurodivergent bubble aber harmlos genug um euch nicht zu erschrecken geht hin und folgt ihm: @lifeinautism
@SNeurotypicals Malcolm in the middle, but beside the usual plot, you would see how the same ND trait (info dumps, hyperfocus, hypersensibility, stimming) would have different life consequences for each one depending on the way they present (cis white male, POC, physically disabled, gifted)
@SNeurotypicals Gilmore girls but Kirk actually knows his DX and is an open and we'll educated advocate that often calls outs the Gilmore girls internalized ableism
- A "hero's journey" archetype following an ND person through their adult diagnosis journey - "Friends" but neurodivergent: they infodump & hyperfocus, lose jobs for the weirdest reasons, hilariously struggle with scheduling appointments, and are kinder to each other
- A star-crossed lovers story where the lovers have ND diagnoses and conflicting needs that seem impossible to reconcile but they slowly build their own weird life that works - Big Bang Theory but everyone's neurotypical except for one wise neurodivergent who gives life advice
Movie/TV ideas that would be better than Music: - Devil Wears Prada but Andy is autistic and gets diagnosed halfway through the movie. Twist: Miranda is too! - Atypical but focused on literally any of the women characters. Just pick one they're all ND.
LOL so neurotypicals manage to criticize that human based approaches in cat psychiatry are wrong but they do not manage to apply that thought to different human neurotypes
Queer eye folge gefunden mit undiagnosed neurodivergent person und sie wollen ihm ständig einhämmern „normal“ zu sein „für sein Alter“ und zu socializen, mit „normalen interessen“ und machen eye roll wenn er über seine interessen spricht. Queer eye jetzt auch gecancelled oder wie
What a toxic and victim blaming thing to say 🙄
I feel like it’s very normalized now to struggle with events in the past that have emotionally bruised you. This comes with the expectation that you deal with them and move on. But it doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes the shit keeps giving and you can’t do anything about it
Yesterday, a non-Autistic person commented on a post of mine suggesting that I avoid using vocabulary like "autist" because "it would be easy for people to run with it as an insult". While they had good intentions, their suggestion was NOT good. I'm going to unpack why.
Autistic people can profit from anticapitalism. The ideologies seeking to replace it however are often just as ableist as capitalism. Autistics will have to fight any predominant ideology until people manage to process how ableist their thinking and actions are and change that.
As a person who tends to work in extremes: „never do your best“ is actually very good advice. Meaning: never give 100%. Give a constant 65 and pause when you have a bad day/year. (Aware that capitalism does not allow for the pausing but it sometimes does allow for slowing down.)

To those who are BOTH ADHD and autistic: which one affects your life more, as in making life more challenging? I mean either directly or because of living in the society. Wanna tell how? #AskADHD #AskingAutistics #TeamADHD #ActuallyAutistic
@writingautistic @commaficionado That said, my wife has been a teacher since before we met so I'm certainly aware there are plenty of problematic teachers out there too.
@writingautistic @commaficionado Fair enough. We had her in a private school at the time. Once the school district refused aid they expelled her and we have since homeschooled because we sure as hell weren't sending her to public school.
Autistic kids refusing to go to school is a problem for schools to solve, not the kids and parents.
@commaficionado I'm guessing many of them are taking this personally when it's largely a systemic issue. I know when my wife and I requested our child be evaluated by the school district for accommodations they failed us massively, but it wasn't her teacher's fault.
Teachers following me are all fine and dandy til I dare to suggest change and adaptation is on *them* when it comes to autistic students.
Being unfollowed by a few teachers cos of this, I've noticed.
@ItsEmilyKaty "So-and-so expressed the behaviors consistent with someone experiencing the world through the alternative spectrum of people with Autism."
@ItsEmilyKaty I’m not autistic, I’m just a highly sensitive person with social anxiety and various sensory and digestive issues who also taps my fingers weirdly sometimes /s
@eco_evo_nerd I was just thinking about the HSP thing!!! It used to be just “empathy” and now it’s “hyperactive nervous system” and it’s literally just autism.
@jennyfurhh @eco_evo_nerd @Finnattentive @ItsEmilyKaty Like yeah, it’s good those resources are there, but it feels like just another way for people to separate themselves from other autistics and the word autistic. If that makes sense.
@jennyfurhh @eco_evo_nerd @Finnattentive @ItsEmilyKaty I think the main issue with it is it’s kind of acting like the new “high functioning”. If you’re experiencing these difficulties and aren’t informed it’s autism, and you get it so ingrained in you that you’re not autistic, you’re an HSP, you’re getting some internalized ableism
@writingautistic Your bio says you’re autistic so quite confused :/ And I’m not saying the two are the same
@writingautistic Maybe if you took some time to read my blog, you’ll find the answer for yourself
Do some autistic kids have painful belly aches/ digestive issues in the morning? I vaguely remember this happening a lot when I was a kid and my kid is having that off and on lately. I read something about that being a Symptom somewhere?
@Gothfarts1 @annagranta I agree 100 with the circadian rythm, but no matter how tired i am i just CAN’T rest before everybody else is shut eye. Not even if i am sick. I need ppl to calm down before i Can let myself do the same 🙏🏼
