Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:

Yes, it's an ableist slur.

Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.

Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.

#stop using this slur!! #i still see it a lot and it's so upsetting

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

#bread roll with butter #and chocolate milk!

Because I’m curious-

Reblog so this breaks containment and reaches people near the equator

#nooo but ive always wanted to see snow!! #it doesnt snow in brazil #and most of tumblr have seen what happened when it did snow in the south quite recently lol #those poor snowmen

Whatever social thing you think "autistics DO understand actually" I promise you there is an autistic person somewhere who does not in fact understand it and they deserve the same respect as you and the people you feel comfortable acknowledging the existence of

#just saw a post on instagram saying autistic people actually understand social cues we just dont care #i can assure you many autistic people dont get social cues actually #or have a hard time with them

As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:

People with Down syndrome

People with Fragile X

People with William’s syndrome

People with dyslexia

People with dyspraxia

People with dyscalculia

People with dysgraphia

People with Prader-Willi syndrome

People with PANS or PANDAS

People with aphasia

People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)

People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses

People with cerebral palsy

People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero

And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love, I will add more to my list)

You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.

I love you all ❤️

Yes, definitely! Sometimes someone lets me know I'm talking too loudly, but there are also times when people can't even hear me

To other autistic people, do you struggle controlling the volume of your voice?

once again, i want to draw attention to the gaza relief & recovery campaign. PCRF are working tirelessly to provide gazan children & their families with necessities (food, clean water, medical equipment/treatment & mental health support). donations to this campaign also contribute towards PCRF's long-term recovery initiative, which includes the planned restoration of healthcare facilities in gaza.

if you're in a position to provide financial aid for palestine, please consider making a donation.

Edit: sensory issues can be counted under "otherwise medically unable to" if you feel that to be appropriate

#i don't use foundation or that stuff bc sensory issues #but I use highlight and colorful eyeshadow and eyeliner bc it's a fun way to express myself #but many times i don't wear anything either
