your local hot mess of a human being / ace / autistic & ADHD / I know I reblog quite a lot but I do actually write original posts too / my hyperfixations vary but my special interest is BBC Ghosts / I fucking adore the captain / enjoy this compilation of some of my thoughts :D
alison and mike get on very well because they're great at communicating and they genuinely like each other and the only major difference between them is that most of mike's ideas are stupid whereas most of alison's are illegal
It should be illegal to require that any device or software connect to the internet just to run. I shouldn't need to log in with microsoft to open any of their programs on my local computer. All games should be playable without access to an online server. All media you pay for should be downloadable to local disk as a raw file and if they don't like that because they know you'll share it and upload it, tough shit. They took your money already, they'll live.
It’s 3:30am and I’m ready to fight God. In other words, who needs a sleep schedule when you have the power of hyperfixation on your side? Not me. Now on a completely unrelated note, I feel like I’m about to pass out from sleep deprivation. I wonder why I’m so tired…
sometimes i feel like people forget autism is a disability. and that’s not a bad thing! i’m all for disability acceptance, im proud of my disabilities. but i feel like we forget autism can hurt.
it hurts that i have to put more time and energy into socializing than others.
it hurts when i need to move so bad, usually cause im overwhelmed by either my surroundings or emotions, that i thrash and hurt myself.
it hurts that i cant be in places that are too loud or too bright, which on bad days can be as simple as a small, quiet noise or dim lights.
it hurts that i struggle to tell when im hungry, thirsty, tired, etc. so i can’t properly take care of myself. it doesn’t help my insomnia and i get very nauseas and get UTIs.
i 100% believe in autism acceptance. i don’t want a cure. but i also want us the acknowledge that it can hurt. it doesn’t mean my entire life will hurt, but some parts will. and i want a community where we can see both sides, see the hurt, and celebrate it anyway.
