“Autistic people need special accommodations” and “autistic people should not be infantilized and talked down to” are schools of though that can and should co-exist.

Cannot overstate the panic and dismay I feel when people's responses in a social interaction do not follow the multiple scripts that I have invented and rehearsed in my head prior to the interaction

Suddenly all my preparation is thrown out of the window and I'm having to juggle masking, listening and processing a thousand variables at once

idk who needs to hear this but many high masking autistics don't want to be told they're good at masking or "no one can tell ur autistic" as a compliment bc it reinforces the need to mask in order to be accepted socially (of course there are exceptions to this and not all autistics will agree)

growing up i was told so many times "u do a great job at appearing 'normal'" and let me tell u that made me feel incredibly insecure of unmasking in public (i have also been told "ur autism is showing" as a way for someone to tell me that i should 'put the mask back on', which is also very hurtful)

to this day im scared that ppl will not like me if im more "visibly autistic" so i oftentimes mask more than i'd like (which leads to difficulty forming real connections as well as burn out and anxiety)

(it's also ableist to say that not seeming autistic is a good thing bc that implies that autism is an insult or something to be ashamed of)

Vash strikes me as the kind of autistic who would really love soft fabrics. Just running his hands over them to get that good texture ™️. And he’d love those really good blankets that have the perfect weight to them. Something he could envelop himself in like a bird in a nest. You can pry bird tendency Vash from my cold dead hands

Knives however hates any fabric that isn’t stretchy. Look at him. Look at what he’s wearing. I’m also so certain this man sleeps with no blankets or a really light one. If it’s too heavy he’ll kill himself about it. Also the whole “humans suck and I will not be partaking in stupid things Vash come on.”

Autism culture is when you have to mentally prepare for (or are uncomfy with the thought of) a day you know isn't going to follow your usual routine coming soon.

When you consume a new piece of media and you just KNOW this one character is autistic but you can’t find anyone else talking about it online and you start to feel insane

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.

"bluntly honest" autism but in the sense that i absolutely cannot refrain from complimenting strangers if i like their earrings or their shirt or i think they have a friendly-sounding laugh or i think their art is beautiful or i think the fic they wrote portrays the characters so well. "bluntly honest" doesn't have to mean "mean". i love to tell people things that are kind and also true.

hey autistic people who get overwhelmed by large groups or noise or conversation or etc etc etc you’re not evil for wanting to leave a family gathering. just so you know.

#additionally hard when you have no diagnosis #people just think im “antisocial” and “rude” #while im over here completely burnt out #because the whole room is talking and the tv is loud and all the lights are on and every kid in the house is shrieking about something #and whoever you came with(looking at you parents) acts like you’re evil and hate your family when you even ask when you’re leaving #autism #actually autistic #autistic #autism spectrum disorder #autistic things #asd #autistic community #undiagnosed autistic #undiagnosed neurodivergent #undiagnosed autism #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #neurodiverse stuff #neurospicy #neurodivergence #neurodivergencies

I think people overlook the inability to regulate body temperature as a sign of impending burnout

When things are really deteriorating I find that I can never be a happy medium between hot and cold - I'm either freezing and feel the need to wrap myself in layers upon layers or I'm so uncomfortably hot that I'm sweating

It's like my body is trying to tell me that I am dysregulated to the point of needing to stop everything before burnout properly hits

Taking away disability accommodations as a punishment is ableist as fuck and needs to stop now!

[This also includes punishing autistic kids by taking away their access to stim toys or sensory breaks!]

autism culture is having imposter syndrome about being autistic and convincing yourself you’re neurotypical but then having a meltdown because your daily schedule changed and you’re having sensory overload and you’re like …. ohhh yeah no there’s the tism there it is
