anyways here’s how to not be shitty to autistic people since apparently y’all need someone to sit down and tell you
things not to mock us for:
-“picky eating”
-wearing the same clothes everyday
-carrying around a comfort object (might be something like a stuffed animal, a toy...)
-wanting to have the same conversation / tell the same joke multiple times
-stimming in public or private
-stuttering
-repeating words or phrases, taking a long time to form a sentence
-being hyperempathetic / hyper emotional, spontaneous tears/outbursts/etc.
-on the other hand lack of apparent emotion, appearing disinterested / apathetic
-meltdowns
-not wanting to be put into social situations, being excessively tired
-our interests
kind things you can do for your autistic friends:
-letting us infodump to you
-listening to us when we’re having trouble making much sense, asking helpful questions, being patient with us
-“can I hug you?” goes a long way
-providing more food options / having our samefood available, eating can be really difficult for a lot of us
-helping them if they need help with social situations, like calling in for food or talking to a salesperson. these things can get really hard for us some days.
-letting us stim and not being judgemental
-giving us space when we need it without getting offended
-if you think we’re having a meltdown or sensory overload (you may be able to tell by our mask dropping, appearing disinterested, twitching, using their body to stim (maybe aggressively), etc.) here are some things you can do:
-if they’re violently stimming, ask them gently to open their hands if you think they might hurt themself
-use clear language to communicate with them
-be calm, please don’t yell
-offer them a way out of whatever situation they’re in
autistic ppl can add on, allistics can rb but be quiet

fuck it, blog hasnt been active in ages but imma post it here too bc im angy
just found out that some famous instagram mommy blogger influencer who i will not name bc i dont wanna promote her literally gave away one of her children she adopted bc he turned out to be autistic
aka she couldnt make any money off of him because he didn’t like being on camera and had some autistic toddler aggression issues so she tried to force him into “autism therapy” and when that didn’t work (which it almost never does), she dumped him and gave him away to another family instead of trying to accommodate his needs and understand how autism affects kids
she then proceeded to make a video about the situation and promptly spent the entire video going between crocodile tears and wording almost everything about the kid as if he was a fucking pet. “he’s now found his forever home”, “we had to rehome him” like jesus christ this is why i hate mommy bloggers and their exploitation of children for money. she also claimed that she “values [the child’s] privacy” but yet she doesnt for any of her other kids bc she posts videos of them without their consent in order to make money.
if you profit off of your kids, you’re a disgusting human being and should not be a parent. if you profit or TRY to profit off of your autistic kids, you’re doubly disgusting. period.

Anyways, age/pet regressors and people who SEEK to violate a person’s boundaries and harm them via triggers is honestly one of the many reasons why I stopped updating. It’s in my blog description to not interact if you regress for a reason:
Yeah I’m triggered by age/pet regression/ors due to severe trauma associated with it, but the amount of sheer harassment I got because of this (because of something I can’t control nor choose to be thrust upon me) is disgustingly hilarious.
Y'all always say you (the regressors) support traumatized people and triggers and that you hate people who make fun of that stuff……… But then go ahead and harass someone who is triggered by what y'all do and just simply want y'all to stay away.
I’ve gotten worse harassment than this, but that’s the sad part about it. It’s gotten so much worse than that. I’ve gotten death threats, countless anon hate, and regressors screaming at me in PM for being triggered by what they do. News flash - you can’t control legitimate triggers, sometimes even therapy doesn’t help.
But y'all treat it as if it’s a personal attack. As if someone saying “hey please don’t interact with me if you regress” is someone attacking you. It’s not. You literally DO NOT have to ask questions when someone doesn’t want you interacting with them. It costs $0.00 to respect their boundaries, triggers, and trauma.
Anyways, just wanted y'all to know one of the reasons why I kinda up and left suddenly. It’s because of regressors violating my boundaries and being incredibly hypocritical about triggers and trauma and going so far as to harass me with death threats over simply saying “please don’t interact if you regress”. It’s because of how fucking entitled regressors are on this website, acting as if they own me or my content and that they DESERVE to interact.
So yeah, that’s it. See ya.

Hey long time no see but watch out for this person @kittenautie — they completely disrespect triggers from abuse and refuse to respect people’s basic boundaries.
I literally just have “don’t interact if you’re an age/pet regressor” in my description and they IMMEDIATELY assumed I hate regressors (I don’t) and then proceeded to like+reblog a few of my posts despite my boundary.
I dont hate age regressors but I’m legitimately triggered by age regression/ors due to severe trauma associated with abuse in regards to it + just not wanting to take anymore chances with things.
Yet despite that, this person refused to respect my triggers and immediately started liking+reblogging from me and even went so far as to send me this gross message. They do not respect triggers and instead is willing to go so far as to subtly harass people over their blog boundaries. How entitled.
Stay clear of this one y'all.

Ok so I just wanted to say a couple months ago I basically did an essay on how the entire Addams Family is autistic on one of ur posts and I said I wasn't diagnosed with autism, well guess what, yesterday I got professionally diagnosed, so tl;dr I've got more evidence to stack up in my "I'm a lost Addams child" theory :D
Oh thats cool!

you don’t even need any factual backup to headcanon a character as autistic tbh. they don’t need to have whatever you consider to be “common autistic traits”. if an autistic person wants to headcanon a character as autistic because they identify with that character, or because it makes them feel good, or for whatever reason, let them.

I just wanted to remind fellow people with learning disabilities that
you’re not stupid
you’re not lazy 
you don’t have to compare your best to others’
Your brain is made in certain way and it’s not laking. It’s just different. 
Love u all

reminder yall
“high functioning” is meant to discredit
“low functioning” is meant to dehumanize
dont use these terms
people have strengths and weaknesses in different areas and
autistic people are still people

just in case they decide to change their description, heres a Receipt(TM)
block this asshole and be careful!
I deleted that ask cause I didn’t want it on my blog but (hopefully) all of you will want to block @popstims they have “don’t interact if LGBT or SJW” in their description!

Hey bit of a random question but can someone's special interest be a person? Aka like a musician or actor or band etc..
Yep!
A lot of the time, autistic people with special interests in history tend to hyperfixate on one historical figure.
Same can happen with music/band special interests towards one specific person!
