A truth universally accepted

[ID: Two pencil drawings of characters from BBC Ghosts. In the first panel the Captain is walking in the foreground with Mary and Annie in the background. Annie is telling Mary to "Say something to him". In the second panel, Mary says to the Captain "Thou art AUTISTIC!" Annie replies "Them's just facts, though". The Captain looks taken aback.]

Ok, I just watched a video of that one frog book they use in Autism assessments (Tuesday I think?)

And I'm convinced that book is purposefully vague. What would they want me to say the book was about?

The frogs were flying, that's for sure. I can tell their happy while flying and upset when it magically stops in the morning??? But I don't get why??? That context is never provided.

I don't know how long ago, but several years ago, I watched this little animation of circles. No dialogue, no words, nothing. Just circles moving around the screen. And I perfectly understood what the story was. It was essentially a Rudolph the red nosed reindeer situation. Easily. Without any other context then moving. Circles.

But the frog book? Not a clue. Why are the leaves flying? What are the frogs' goals? Why did the leaves stop in the morning? Why are the police there? Genuinely, what is this story actually trying to communicate??? Cause it's not communicating anything but "frog fly durrrrr :P".

#galaxy rambles #autistic screeching #watch me post this and like #five people tell me “yep youre autistic alright thats a rlly autistic response” #just yall watch #tuesday david wiesner #autistic #autism #Note: im not taking an assessment; #I just wanted to look at the book cause I was curious about the things other Autistic people were saying about it

sry its just like rly incredibly annoying how much ppl will like. IDK. yes ik a lot of autistic and adhd ppl who do love music. and sometimes it is bc of their neurodivergence yk. music can be grounding its familiar its reliable and comfortable. i think its fine to say Autistic/ADHD ppl often find comfort in music. but its stupid as fuck to say Therefore enjoying music makes you autistic/adhd.

#like that cant be the only diagnostic criteria... im not at all anti self dx but i am anti just hearing abt something doing 0 research and #being like yep thats so me. yk. #likeee. i have a LOT of issues on the psych industry trust me. i also think in a lot of cases its dangerous to be diagnosed. and in most #cases self dxing even uninformed self dxing isnt harmful its just like. idk. it can be harmful when you use it to spread misinfo #even unknowingly. IDK.... like. i enjoy eating the same foods over and over bc they are safe and reliable. expecting these foods #and then getting something different than what i was expecting is incredibly upsetting. that is bc of my autism but if that was the ONLY #autistic trait i had i wouldnt say i was autistic i would just say that i find comfort in my foods being reliable and i dislike change. #and i think a lot of ppl just feel this need to put a label on every single thing abt them down to like. the way they walk. #like do i do the classic autistic Walking on the balls of my feet yes its true i do do that. but again i wouldnt say i was autistic just bc #of that... sometimes its just a quirk you have. sometimes you just have things you do and you dont need a label to put on them to explain #that thing... its more just like. if you do have that dx or whatever you can look at that thing and be like oh this might be bc of that dx. #and you can kind of bond over that with other ppl. IDKK its complicated and im rambling #again idt its like super harmful to self dx even uninformed its just like. i wish sometimes people would just be like . chill abt labels #its the same thing with sexualities and gender like. sometimes you dont need a hyperspecific word to describe your entire identity sometime #you can just be a person. yk. like i love being bisexual i love the bisexual label and im proud of being bi. i dont feel the need #to look into the specific ratio of who im attracted to or when im attracted to them or whatever to make a more specific label. IDK THO #idk. basically i just think instead of trying to group everybody into these tiny Ultra specific groups of ppl you relate to i think you #should just be like. Oh everybodys a person even if they dont experience everything the exact way i do. idk whatever

do y'all think autistic slugs have sensory issues? like 'eeww I can feel my slimeeee'?

if so then me too

#im an autistic slug #yep #that's who i am #real talk with bones

#my guys getting a ~new diagnosis at 25 is EXHAUSTING??? #at least as a chronic overthinker ig bc whew #every day i swing from oohhh yep im definitely autistic to noooo i don't think i fit it enough esp sensory wise and blabla #i make eyecontact (but now im thinking about it and it's like being conscious of your breathing yk?? and then it's like. is that why #it doesn't feel that natural suddenly or??? and if im a little uncomfortable i stop making eyecontact but ig that's ~normal) #and then with noise and light i don't KNOW i don't know if it's all bc im paying attention now #like you see MAYBE im just pretending my depression symptoms/self-dislike are autism but what actually happens is just that #and i wonder like is my almost compulsively picking at my nails or scabs (i know) stimming or? and what stims would i like how do you KNOW #anyways. had autism group therapy last week and it was v chill and lowkey and also relatable at times though we didn't cover that much #but the overhead lights stayed off and that was great bc i hate u massive tl lights (but im prone to migraines so who knows!) #anyways. my mum did say it makes sense to her and my sister accepted it in a heartbeat JDMDMD and she studies psych and had to #deal with me growing up and bossing her around (our strongest soldier) #and on holidays it takes me a week to get settled usually but i THOUGHT that was depression bc i feel isolated and lonely for a while #so yknow??? sighhhh i am discussing this in therapy but i wanna KNOW i want facts so i can speed through the acceptance process cmon #(i know.......) #anyways. if you're still reading 1) mwah and 2) input is always welcome #insofar any of this made sense

another homophobic bl actor, 2023 off with a non surprising bang

have to be honest i go into shows EXPECTING the actors to be assholes now and its a lot easier but im still SO TIRED. how can you play a gay character and then go and say vile homophobic shit in the same breath???? its horrifying and it seems like it is only getting worse.. its so hard for me to reconcile the shows with the actors and like. i literally lost my hyperfixation on kinnporsche because i saw the whole build thing. i LOVED that show but i just get idk. upset!! watching a show i love and suddenly im not seeing the character and instead the dickhead of an actor. dont even get me STARTED on the general reception of all of these scandals and shit.

#ok i was originally just going to be like yep. agree. but this turned into a Bit of a rant lol #im just so frustrated. ive literally started referring to them just by their scandals to my best friend #‘oh you know the cheater’ ‘oh hes the one who made the rape jokes’ etc #also i dont want to hear shit like boys will be boys. in this household we hold people accountable for their actions #last thing. im absolutely appalled by the sheer number of fans blindly forgiving ohm. like as an autistic person. shut up #asks

being the funny nice person at work is great until u start having autism again

#head chef pulling up to me saying smth i did not hear and then asking i was okay while i was having an entire breakdown inside my brain #like yes nothing autistic happening here #just like godd oh go d #spilled hot water all over my coat and it soaked thru into my shirt and now im soggy on my half #its just One Of Those Days #i was putting tongs back into a station drawer and my coworker watched me spill literally everything i had in my hands into the drawer #and we both just went ‘yep….. aint that the way’ #at least when i am going insane everyone gets it #.pdf #im just rmring all the days i would shut down at work and someone would be like u’re so quiet today! #like my man. i am losing my grip

[fellow-queer-birdguy]

Just thinking about how I asked my friend what the criteria for feeling hungry is... Like how much of something do I have to feel to consider myself hungry??

(This goes with most other emotions and feelings as well)

#yep i had to ask what the criteria of hunger was... #alexithymia #i think im autistic #please i want a diagnosis #actually autistic #emotions are weird

[outer-edges]

my roommate asked me to change my music so i turned on the last of us sound track and she listened for like two chords before tipping her head back and going "you're on the spectrum" so empathetically and i just-

#to be clear: i am not diagnosed with any autism #just ADHD #there is a strong suspicion that i am indeed autistic and there has been for quite a long time now #but there is nothing declared in any professional realm of things #personally i claim neurotypical #because i think its funny #because i am so visibly Not Neurotypical In The Slightest #like i have never successfully masked a day in my goddamn life #when it comes up i say the doctor actually called me 'the picture of neurotypicality' #but i say it in dead seriousness and people get very confused bc they cant tell if im joking or not #*me on the kitchen floor rocking back and forth because not one of my chosen foods is available* : did you know im actually neurotypical? #i did have a coworker once say i was actually pretty neurotypical and i just like. that was the weirdest moment of my life #i am so visibly ADHD too in the most stereotypical way #i came out of the womb and the doctors were like: yep that one has ADHD #literally never even been a question i was diagnosed at such a young age and it has been upheld time and again thru the years #and this man fully believes that im neurotypical #like to this day

[nature-played-a-trick-on-me]

Today i have the appointment to figure out what classes I'll finish this year and which ones I'll finish next school year and I'm just dreading it so much... everything feels impossible rn

#Sorry to be on the complain train but I think im getting very burnt out :( #The concept of autistic burnout re-entered my brain and i was like oh yep that described a LOT of my life #Time periods where i lose the ability to do things i used to be able to do 🫣 #Losing skills 🫠 #I also suspect that the average dutch therapist is not familiar with the concept of autistic burnout so. Riding the struggle bus alone. #Like one of the few things going for me rn is not getting a massive recurrence of my stress related chronic pain #At least thats working out for me #Unless you count the frequent headaches I've been having. But tbh less upsetting that getting The Pains I associate with hell in childhood #Plus saying i have had a headache every day is something others can understand. #The body pain from childhood-20 yrs old was impossible to explain or to have others understand #Also i literally feel myself 'getting more autistic' lol 🤡🤡🤡

[bananonbinary]

wwdits is killing me this season because Mark Proksch is like...weirdly good at playing a child??? i know that’s an adult man’s head photoshopped onto a child’s body but somehow i never question it im like ‘yep thats an 8 year old autistic child alright”

#wwdits #this is sort of a joke #but also proves my theory that we can and should just do away with child actors #just have grown adults play 8yos its fine #broadway does it. shakespeare did it. its fine.

[dogydayz]

I think one of my favorite parts of the "autistic Shadow" headcanon is the fact that he's designed to be the Ultimate Lifeform. I don't mean this in an annoying, "autism is a superpower" dumb way (even if I do find my own autism to actually be quite helpful at times, the whole concept of calling it that is stupid and used to hurt people like us), I mean it in a "Shadow was genetically engineered to be an Ultimate Lifeform, he's designed to survive and be able to do things no one else can, yet he still struggles with something that could be classified as a disability in his daily life." I dont know if im wording it properly, but there's something about how he's still viewed as that Ultimate Lifeform despite dealing with something that many people would immediately label as a trait that makes someone "inherently" less capable of survival. I know that many folks struggle with autism in way more severe ways than I may (though much of me saying this is kinda me repressing and refusing to acknowledge that it IS still a disability for me, but still, i recognize others DO deal with more severe aspects than I do), however I really just dislike how autistic characters get labeled as inherently "unable" to live "right". He's a character whose whole thing is that he makes his own path for himself, he fights even if the world hates him, he doesn't back down and even when it looks like he is, he's just playing it smart. Even if he does have these struggles, he IS able to find a life for himself, he isn't held down by expectations or what people tell him he is. In fact, that's ANOTHER whole part of him as a character, that he breaks free from what others say he should be. Even if he were confirmed to be autistic, he wouldn't be "the autistic character". He'd still be himself, he'd be Shadow, they'd be confirming that he has certain struggles, but he'd still be /himself/.

His story wouldn't change, he wouldn't be bound by the chains of what people think an autistic character in media should look like, he wouldn't be "the character who's autistic" (as if they aren't all already autistic, but that's a whole different topic lol), he'd just be Shadow, and Shadow would just happen to be autistic.

Again, I may be wording this wrong and if i am PLEASE forgive me, I'm trying so hard to put my thoughts into words,,,

I think this is coming a bit from a place of me seeing Prime Sonic and thinking to myself "holy fucking shit he's got ADHD but it's not shown as all of him". Of course they havent truly confirmed Sonic to be ADHD but like, i think they probably did do it purposefully here, but maybe that's just me? I just see him do stuff and think "wow yeah, I've done that before! And I do it because i have ADHD! and he has some of my struggles!! But his friends still love him even if they're annoyed by him at times, and he still isn't a bad person even if he did fuck up! Any they handle it with nuance that real people experience in life!!"

And that's how I'd see autistic Shadow being handled. He already has a lotta the traits, but they don't confirm it being based on things like sensory overload or whatever, despite the fact that they really could. And even if they did, he'd be handled just as if it were another trait. It wouldn't be some defining attribute to him, him being autistic wouldn't be some selling point, there wouldn't be any "look! There's now an autistic character in this media!!".

But back to the main point.... Basically, him being autistic doesn't make him any less of the Ultimate Lifeform, and I think that's about the most extreme way to get across the point of "being autistic doesn't make you any less of a person or any less important". He was GENETICALLY ENGINEERED. Yet he still is autistic and it was decided "yep we succeeded in creating the Ultimate Lifeform!", so much so that the military wanted to use him as a WEAPON. Nothing about his potential disability made him any less of a success, or any less of a protector to Maria, or any less of a wonderful creation to Gerald, or any less of anything else to anyone he knows.

Something about that is just... a really nice idea to me. Maybe not for everyone, but to me that's inspiring as fuck, and reassuring to, to think about...

Skibidi toilet x reader x part 2 The enddnjsjnjkdjs

I CAN SAY ALL OF THE SLURS IN THIS DONT CANCLE ME PLEASE !!!!!!!!!

“Your WHAT??” reigen exclaims. “Yeah sorry... I’m just not to fond of gay people...” They both look at me in disbelief. Almost like they have seen a ghost. Then we hear Skibidi toilet break down the door. “I AGREE!!! GAY PEOPLE SHOULD BURN IN HELL” Skibidi toilet exclaims. Reigen and Sans sob while holding each other tight as we continue to yell and harass them. “I HATE FAGGOTS!!” skibidi says. “Maybe that's a bit too far... you know that's a bad word, right?” I say.  

“YEAH!!! WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!!” Sans finally stands up for himself. “WHO CARES IF HE LIKES MEN?” “I DO!!!” skibidi toilet says. They both look at skibidi toilet. “Says the one who likes little girls!!” Reigen exclaims to Skibidi. “I... DON’T... LIKE... UNDERAGED GIRLS!!!” “KILL YOURSELF!!!” Sans tells skibidi. The room goes silent. It's unbelievably awkward. “I-I-I...” Skibidi starts to cry. “H-Hey skibidi its okay!! Who cares what you did in the past... your fine now... right?” I start to comfort Skibidi. “Oh honey... I saw him touch a little girl the other day.” Sans says smugly. Skibidi sobs louder. “N-NO!!! I DIDN’T!!!”  

“Come on sans let's get out of here.” Reigen says as he starts to walk towards the door with sans. “WHERE ARE YOU GOING!!!! YOU GUYS CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME!!! YOU WOULD BE HOMELESS!!!” Skibidi cries out to them. “Well, you're wrong skibidi.. I am loaded. From all of my con-manness" Reigen says to Skibidi extra smugly. “NO WAIT!!! IM NOT A PEDOPHILE!!”  

Suddenly Shane Dawson breaks down the door. “DID SOMEONE SAY.... PEDOPHILE?????” Shane Dawson exclaims. “SHANE DAWSON!!!!!!” We all say in unison. “Yep!! It's me. Shane Dawson. I heard there was a guy who touches little girls over here... You do know that I’m the only one in this town that can do that...” “I DONT TOUCH. LITTLE GIRLS...” Skibidi exclaims. “Thats what they all say” Shane says to Skibidi. “Come on reigen lets get out of here...” Sans says. 

 Both Sans and Reigen leave the place leaving me, skibidi, and Shane Dawson alone. “Well, what do you say Skibidi? Wanna team up?” Shane puts his hand out for skibidi to shake. “I....” Skibidi thinks for a second. “I couldn’t....” “Oh yes you could!!! Be a part of my special club. We give out free pictures of my cat.” “What... why would I need a picture of your cat...” Skibidi starts to slowly back away from Shane Dawson. “Because!! My cat is a bit freaky... Just look at its face...” Shane begins to get lost in the thought of his cat. It's kind of weird to look at.  

“Welll I better join Reigen and Sans heh...” I say while I head towards the door. “NO WAIT!! DONT JOIN THEM!!! THEY KISS MEN!!!! PLEASE!! NOOO!!!! Y/N!!!! DONT LEAVE ME!!!” I quickly run out the door and slam it behind me. I sit outside the house for a bit to figure out what to do next. Then I suddenly feel the house start to shake and crack. I look behind me to see a gigantic Skibidi toilet absolutely crushing the house. “S-Skibidi-kun???” “DONT LEAVE ME YOU.... YOU... BAKA!!” Skibidi yells as he goes alpha mode. “SKIBIDI KUN!!”  

I then see Reigen and Sans and another weird looking guy running towards me. “WHAT HAPPEND!!” Reigen exclaims. “Who the FUCK is this stupid little autistic boy you have with you Reigen.” I say. “Oh, it's my son!!! He name is Mob. He’s a bit stupid.” “Master, I hope you FUCKING BURN ALIVE YOU FUCKING FAGGOT.” Mob says to Reigen. “Woah there mob who taught you such strong words.” “That doesn’t matter!!! Skibidi crushed your house!!!!” “OH YEAH HE DID!!” Reigen exclaims as he looks at the gigantic Skibidi toilet crushing the house.  

“Well shit what do we do now.” Sans says unamused. “Uhmm... Mob!! Can’t you Ex-or-size him.” Reigen begins to shake like a little mouse. “Master, are you FUCKING RETARD this GIANT ASS TOILET is not a FUCKING SPIRT.” “nooooooo.... are you sure.......” “I think he’s sure about that Reigen... If you don’t listen to your kid, you're not getting backshots...” Sans looks deep into Reigen’s blue orbs. “OH!!!! Well... I guess he’s not a spirit hehe....” Reigen says flustered.  

“Well, when I left is when Shane Dawson appeared... do you think he has anything to do with this??” I say to the others. “Hmmm do you think Shane Dawson possessed Skibidi???” Reigen says mysteriously. “Well, that could be the case since I heard about an evil spirit that steals peoples cats and...” Mob gets quieter, “Freaks them...” “WOAH MOB!!!! DON’T USE SUCH FOWL LAUNGUE!!” “YOU ARE RETARDED.” Mob yells to Reigen. Sans giggles at the little autistic boy. 

 “Well are you guys going to do something about it or...???” I say to them. “Yeah, let me Ex-or-size him real quick gang.” Mob says as he faces Skibidi toilet. “So this is the bitch you have been living with for 5 years??? No wonder your like this 💀💀💀💀💀” “JUST GET IT OVER WITH MOB!!” Reigen exclaims and tries to hold back tears. “I-I swear my son isn’t like this please ignore him.” “Yeah sure” Sans says smugly. Then mob Ex-or-sizes Shane Dawson out of skibidi toilet somehow and he goes back to normal.  

“S-Skibidi-kun!!!! I missed you so much my pookie bear!! Even if you did touch little girls!!.” I say as I run towards Skibidi gracefully. “I missed you too my alpha... Even if you do freak with those... homosexuals...” We both share a big smooch and then mob reverts the house back to its normal state. “Who is this goofy looking autistic boy.” Skibidi says while looking at mob. “You can not be saying that while you look like a FUCKING TOILET DUDE. Stop with this shit vro....” Mob then walks away sassily. “Jesus dude... I didn’t know you guys were like this...” Skibidi looks like he's about to cry again. “D-dont cry Skibidi!! You didn’t do anything wrong....” I say to try and cheer him up.  

Sans and Reigen then get freaky or something and the screen fades to black and Y/n wakes up from their slumber. “Man... it was all a dream...” Y/n says. “That was a pretty freaky dream. I wonder if toilets are real...” 

THE END I AM NOT WRITTING ANY MORE

actually a formal autism diagnosis may not be the best option? Ive heard that it's more likely to be a roadblock in your life, and the benefits aren't always the best. I obviously don't want to tell you how to live your life, it's ultimately a very personal choice, just wanted to pass along what ive heard.

Yep! like im not searching for a formal diagnosis because i dont want accommodations or to be barred from certain life opportunities. A formal diagnosis can actually make my life worse. Plus a formal diagnosis is not gonna stop me from having their experiences, so whats the fucking point (not like I want to stop them). I simply want to understand myself. Even if it turns out im not autistic, i dont want to be ignorant about autism! Damn!
