What are your initial thoughts or feelings about the concept of transautism?
hey 👋🏼
i spent the last 25 minutes searching up everything about transautism, including the infamous carrd (and i may have gotten consistent C’s in science, but i’m not sure they got the brain stuff right in the q&a section)
my first feelings were mainly that of confusion, then i got pissed off, and now i just feel pity
honestly it’s very strange because if you feel like you are autistic (regardless if you get told you’re not), then why don’t you just say you’re autistic? the implification of the “trans” (meaning transforming into being) in this specific context for “transautism” means they know they aren’t autistic on some level, yet they want to be or they feel like they should be
i’ve looked up transautism blogs on tumblr to try to get an idea for why it is they want to be autistic and the main reason keeps being something around self-exploration and celebrating “different” types of neurodiversity
but another reason, which is very, very interesting to me, is some kind of dysphoria
there’s this blog that gives out advice to any transabled individual and people often describe feeling pain either (or both) psychologically and physically because of the lack of something they feel should be there (or something that shouldn’t be there, as i’ve seen with people who identify as transamputees)
this has led me to believe that there’s definitely something wrong, probably not autism, but definitely something
i mean, the lengths some of these people go to is quite literally reducing their quality of life
and, i saw many autistic people online call out transautism blogs with heavy criticism or just insults, which is very understandable don’t get wrong, but i truly just feel so concerned
like transautism isn’t good, it isn’t healthy, at all
at first i literally thought some people had munchausen's syndrome, but then i realized that if you have munchausen's syndrome, then you aren’t supposed to know? because you just have it, not just want to have it
i genuinely want these people to get some type of help that works for them, because this is just sad
and for all the autistic people that get super angry at transautism individuals, i suggest blocking any blogs and blacklisting related terms, because even if calling them out feels good, it really doesn’t do anything other than tire you out and piss you off

learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.

I just saw a Tik Tok that said writers on AO3 are not looking for constructive criticism in their reviews. I have no audience on this platform so I have to know if this is true? I've always left my pros and cons when reading a fic and now I'm concerned that the authors didn't like that.
Yeah writers are Not looking for criticism, constructive or otherwise. Unless they specifically ask for it, it’s considered rude and honestly a bit hurtful. In the least bitchy way possible, don’t do that. It’s unwanted.
