i wanna say fuck you to anyone who shame disabled, chronically ill & neurodivergent people, especially homebound folks, for "spending too much time on their phone/on the internet/etc." when it's the only (Somewhat) accessible way for them to experience the world. many people don't get to get out much even if they want to because of their disabilities. shaming someone for trying to connect with the world, make friends and engage with hobbies in ways that are accessible to them is beyond cruel and unnecessary

As someone who also has interacting with people as a special interest in the same way that Kabru does, I think his character is so important for autistic representation.
1) just point blank we need more autistic BIPOC in popular media.
But 2) it took so long for me to realize I was autistic because there is just no representation of autistic people who not only like being social, they’re GOOD at being social, like charisma is a genuine skill they have and rely regularly on.
And 3) idk how phrase this exactly but Kabru had what a lot of people would code as “girl” autism. Meaning he’s representation of a kind of unique thing I’ve seen from others in the neurodivergent community who are gender non-conforming in large part because of the ways they are neurodivergent. This is true of me too, I have “boy” ADHD and my brother had “girl” ADHD and we were bullied for this gender nonconformity despite the fact that my brother is completely cishet.
So like, yeah, the story centering women and a wlw love story, Fallin being consistently shown as attractive for her neurodiversity not in spite of it, Laois thriving and being the hero in a way no one else can because of his autism not in spite of it, these are all really really important to focus on in the fandom! I agree as an autistic sapphic myself!
However I hope no one is brushing away Kabru fans because he’s unique and really important!
I <3 this blorbo big time and I hope you can appreciate him too!

I've noticed that people who consider themselves progressive have become more invested in essentially fake-claiming any autistic people they don't like. Progressive circles that want to seem like allies to Autistic people may agree that mocking an autistic person for, say, missing a social cue, is ableist. But if you claim that person isn't really autistic then not only can you continue to mock them, you're a good ally by doing so.
I dont think it's a coincidence that this is happening at the same time jokes originally made by and for autistic people are becoming more widespread outside of autistic circles.
If you can dilute the common understanding of autism to 'that tism rizz', you can more easily ostracize autistic people for showing symptoms of autism, especially symptoms that are less socially acceptable or 'cute'.
It's the exact same social isolation we've been facing forever, but this time, it's wearing a progressive hat, so we have to pretend it's an improvement.

i don’t see the point in apologising, it seems pointless and hypocritical.
the only thing that would warrant an apology is an action that hurt/negatively affected someone, which i either didn’t mean to do or i did mean to do.
if i meant to do it then an apology would just be lying. if i was intending on hurting you and then apologised for the pain i caused, i wouldn’t actually be sorry because i got the outcome i wanted.
but at the same time if i didn’t mean to do it then why should i apologise? accidents happen so really there’s no reason to apologise, even if i have caused you accidental hurt.
apologies just have no value.

every day when annabeth was going to school she would come up with more ways to see the architecture in new york, using as many forms of transport is she could. and she would never be late.

Neurotypical standards have really rubbed away at my self-esteem so persistently that I have spent years trying to take-up as little space in everyone else's lives as possible
Asking for help feels like a betrayal of the impulse to make myself small and convenient

I had an odd thought and I wanna put it out there and see what people think.
What if we made folklore/lore, fairytales, and mythology for autism/ADHD? I dunno, like there's already the changeling myth for autism. Maybe we could use it as a way to empower the good aspects of the disorders and also point out the bad aspects. I dunno. /gen
Look, I've been getting fixated on the Askeladden films, so I figured I'd put this idea out there. Thoughts? I mean, there's an autism community and folklore and stuff is usually specific to a community. I dunno. /gen
