Why are some people like “Omg you’re autistic? You can unmask around me I won’t judge you I’m a safe person 🥺” and then suddenly you’re too autistic for them when you can’t have them chew next to you or make weird jokes or miss their weird ass social cues

Pro tip: don’t call people with social anxiety/selective mutism/autism/nvld assholes or other names just because they can’t respond to waiters.

I don’t think you guys actually know what these conditions are. It’s not “using mental illness as an excuse”, many people with social anxiety and selective mutism are literally UNABLE to talk back. It’s not a choice. Many people with nvld and autism don’t do “normal social rules” BECAUSE THATS LITERALLY WHAT DEFINES THOSE DISORDERS

Mentally ill and neurodivergent people aren’t being rude. We’re not intentionally ignoring you.

And if you’re gonna pull the “if it’s so hard why are you out in public” bullshit, then don’t. We’re allowed to be in public. We’re allowed to challenge ourselves. And if we can’t do it? It’s not the end of the world.

Telling someone with social anxiety or selective mutism they shouldn’t be in public is quite literally the worst thing you can do. Every therapist I’ve ever had recommended the OPPOSITE. To go out MORE. That’s quite literally how people overcome it.

You guys are all “mental health matters” until it’s not mild anxiety or depression. Stop judging people who struggle in social situations. All it does is make it worse.

Autism testing update and how it’s affecting my account

Hey, so today I finished getting tested for autism and, unlike I was hoping, it didn’t really give me an answer

I got diagnosed with nvld, nonverbal learning disability, which is a lot like autism but not exactly the same. My doctor told me they’re generally under the same umbrella and have a lot of the same issues. This isn’t exactly a clear answer though, just because I was diagnosed with it doesn’t mean I have the answer to everything. I was told that this is the closets diagnosis because they don’t have enough to diagnose me with autism, but I don’t 100% fit into the label of nvld, I still have other issues that don’t line up, so it’s possible I could have autism (for example hyper fixations, special interests, and sensory issues aren’t explained by nvld), but there just isn’t enough considering it was only a 3 hour testing and my memory of my childhood is very muddled.

If you know my account you know I write for autistic readers and I was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to do it anymore, but after doing some thinking I’ve decided I’ll still be writing for autistic readers. We haven’t confirmed that I’m not autistic, we just don’t have enough information. I still have requests for autistic readers and want to do them, and from what I’ve been told my writing of autism is pretty good and makes people comfortable. Even if I don’t have autism in the end, if I decide to get longer testing that is, nvld is still pretty close to autism, having relatively the same struggles and characteristics, so I’m glad to say I will still be writing for autistic readers.

So apparently saying “because I want to/don’t want to” is rude and not a valid reason for things.

Why don’t people tell me this shit

Autistic kid that smelt bad because they were never taught how to properly wash themselves to teenager that’s constantly paranoid about how they smell because they were ”the smelly kid” pipeline is real

you know what? I vote that instead of using 'neurodivergent' where we just mean adhd and autism we use the.. actual wording. we start calling them developmental disorders or developmental disabilities [which... is what they ARE] and perhaps even begin thinking about OTHER DDs such as NVLD or Downs .

#developmental disorders #developmental disabilities #autism #adhd #nvld #leaving the downs tag out of this bc frankly they deal with enough. dont need terminology discourse in the ring

Having NVLD and trying to redesign my bedroom is like. Let’s combine all the things I can’t do (spatial comprehension, measuring, addition/subtraction, visualization, etc) and then try and do all of them at once. Why isn’t it working-

when i was about five, i was having a conversation with my parent. presumably, my point wasn’t coming out right and i was frustrated. i said this:

“Sometimes, I take a deep breath in, and I find a word that would be grateful to land in my sentence. But then I realize it wasn't the word I was looking for, and I let my breath out again, and I sigh.”

my parent found that quote poetic, so he wrote it down, noting that the date was june 30th. now, on that day years later, i am also fascinated by it. i think it speaks to a lot of things.

i love the way it’s phrased. it so perfectly encapsulates the emotion it’s trying to convey. that emotion is one that i’m rather familiar with. words seem to mean a lot to me. i strive to use them deliberately. when a word communicates exactly what i want it to, i feel at ease. it’s like a weight gets taken off of my shoulders. i think that it is indeed a sense of gratitude. and it’s so upsetting when a word does not snap smoothly into place within my sentence. i do often sigh in exasperation. it feels dirty, in a way. like the edges of the object i’m touching are rough, scratching up my skin, depositing a sticky residue on my hands in the process. it feels like i must have done something wrong.

i’ve struggled to recognize this particular aspect of my hyperverbality. even as i’m writing this, i’m uncomfortable: “what if i’m exaggerating? i don’t want people to think that i’m something that i’m not.”

in that sense, my five-year-old self knew things about me that my current self has had to fight to relearn. it took rediscovering that quote for me to realize that i’ve actually always experienced this linguistic precision.

a common debate is over whether your traits are fluid and changeable, or if you’re “born-this-way”. after reading that quote, i’m starting to think that it can be both. for me personally, i would say that it’s not like the person i am has changed all that much, but the way in which i’ve described - and therefore contextualized - my experiences has. 

“do i like words because i’m ‘mature’? i’m mature because i have nvld! or maybe i’m queer! i’m definitely queer! wait, i’m not the same kind of queer that i thought i was. oh, i guess it’s autism… maybe i learned it from social media? do i even have autism? what do any of these words even mean?!”

the point is, i think there’s a lot of value in approaching yourself from different dialectical perspectives. we are constantly filtering all of our input through our senses, and it’s impossible to be truly objective about anything. so how does your perception of your own experience change when you try thinking about it in different ways?
