aroace autistic culture is realising that MaYbe the reason why back in childhood your favourite character from Frozen was Elsa is because she is clearly on aroace spectrum and is probably autistic.

Hello, and welcome to aroace-autie-culture-is! I’ve been debating making this for a bit, and now I’m here!

This blog is for aroace autistic people, but you’re absolutely welcome to follow still even if you aren’t aroace or autistic! Inspired by all the other culture-is blogs out there, some of which I will tag at the bottom.

You can call me "A", and my pronouns are she/her.

I’m aroace, aegoromantic, anticarnal, diagnosed autistic, and I have generalized anxiety disorder NOS.

Rules and DNI beneath the cut. (UPDATED JUNE 29/2023)

Rules:

Start each ask with “aroace autie culture is…” “aroace autistic culture is…” or something along those lines. More specific terms are also allowed, for example: “trans aroace autie culture is…” “dyscalculic aroace autie culture is…” etc.

DO NOT send in ns*fw, exclusionism, racism, bigotry in general, etc, basically just be a decent person. This is a safe space and I may not be a minor but I’m still uncomfortable with ns*fw content (which you probably guessed earlier when I said I was anticarnal).

Please try to refrain from using swear words, terms for private body parts, etc. If it’s mild, I may decide to post it at my own discretion, but it’s best to just leave it out. Maybe if it’s necessary for the ask, just censor it.

I will use trigger warnings that I see fit, if there’s a specific trigger warning you want me to use let me know!

Read my DNI before interacting.

DNI (Do not interact):

Racist, s*xist, fatphobe, homophobe, transphobe, ciss*xist, exors*xist, queerphobe, anti-mogai, anti-neopronouns, anti-pronoun nonconforming, anti-gender nonconforming, anti-alteradic, exclusionist, ableist, aphobe, islamophobe, antisemite, religiophobe, atheophobe, or basically any kind of bigot/prejudiced person.

P*dophile, (NO)MAP, NOP, whatever you want to call it. If you’re an adult attracted to minors, GET OFF MY BLOG NOW. (This does not include POCD, as that is not real attraction and is just intrusive thoughts.)

If you accept/support/condone p*dophila, r*pe, inc*st, ab*se, or m*rder

Pro-war, pro-death penalty, anti-gun control, or if you’re against free healthcare/pharmacare/dental care/eyecare/affordable housing

If you have minors in your DNI. I’m not a minor but this blog is meant to be safe for minors so if your blog isn’t, then please don’t expose my followers to that.

NS*FW/p*rn blog

If you support Autism Speaks

If you support ABA therapy

Anti-self dx, gatekeeper, etc.

Anti-system, anti-endo, if you stigmatize/demonize ANY mental illness(es)/disorder(s) [yes that includes cluster A, B, and C personality disorders], saneist, etc.

If you identify as/respect/support any of the following: superstraight, supergay, or super- any orientation

If you f*tishize any orientations/races/neurotypes/disabilities/illnesses/disorders/diseases/etc., or if you act on/attempt to normalize any harmful philias

If you romanticize any neurotypes/disabilities/illnesses/disorders/diseases/traumas, r*pe, inc*st, p*dophilia, m*rder, ab*se, violence, or anything else that is harmful to others

If you don’t respect people’s triggers/fears/anxieties. (YES this includes controversial/political topics. If someone tells you they don’t want to see/hear about the anti-r*pe movement because the subject of r*pe in general gives them anxiety, that is completely valid and does not mean that they don’t support the movement.)

I may add more later if I find I’m missing something.

Canadians,

YouTube has informed me that the government is trying to control our feeds. As if the YT algorithm didn't cause us enough issues. I have no reason to question it but feel free to research it. The bill name and a petition can be found here.

aroace autie culture is, although you absolutely love your aroaceness and your autism and wouldn't exchange them for anything, also being really f*ckin lonely. not a great combination of things to be when you need companionship so bad :')

vegan aroace autie culture is having no idea that someone in elementary school had a crush on you even when they gave you chocolates that you can't have so you just gave them back and everyone got mad at you for "breaking the guy's heart" and then it hitting you after your senior year (but I mean, if he did really love me, he would've known that I can't have chocolate so...)

(autistic culture is also giving a very specific anecdote and hoping others relate to it)

aroace autie culture is entering into a queer platonic relationship based on alterous attraction with another aroace autie and being more comfortable than you’ve ever been with another person :)

aroace autistic culture is telling somebody you're nebularomantic and having to explain what nebularomantic is (finding it hard to tell platonic and romantic attraction due to neurodivergency) and that it isn't offensive to autistic people for you to use it :/

Huh.  I never knew that. That’s interesting because as an autistic person myself I personally have high empathy and (i’m assuming by internal world you mean imagination) a fairly decent imagination. I actually had imaginary children as a kid lol. But also I've just always seen them as like completely wildly different disorders.

Undiagnosed Autistic Culture is not being able to get diagnosis because in place where you live autism is still seen as an "early childhood" medical condition, or seen as "just a modern word for schizophrenia".

I’m confused? Since when was autism ever confused with schizophrenia? They’re completely different things. Isn’t schizophrenia associated with hallucinations whereas autism is associated with social difficulties? How could anyone mix those two up? I genuinely didn’t know this was a thing…

So…this is not just me?? I feel like you’re spying on me because this literally describes me perfectly😂 I always do this when trying to message/text people.

Literally though I always feel like I’m so bad at conversation and I want so badly to keep the conversation going but it’s so hard to think of stuff to say so I just keep asking questions and then they give the most dry responses and it’s like why am I the only one trying here or am I just boring (tbh i’m probably just boring and weird because from what I’ve seen on Instagram stories they usually have actually fun and interesting/entertaining conversations with their other friends so)

Autism culture is trying to keep a conversation going, but you don’t know how so you just keep on asking questions to the other person hoping something sticks. And then when they reply, going “ok” or something along those lines then realizing after a few seconds of silence that you just ended the conversation and trying to come up with something else to ask until the whole conversation is just you interviewing the other person.

This- this is an ND thing??? I thought this was just a me thing😂

I literally cannot tell the difference between good acting and bad acting like my dad says something about it and I have no idea what he’s talking about

(I mean unless it’s like, that thing in shows where the character is supposed to be bad at lying/acting or whatever and it’s meant to be obvious then obviously I can tell this is suspicious and they’re lying and I don’t know how the other character actually believes them lol)

ND culture is hearing someone praise good acting in a movie and wondering how on earth they can tell
