there are a lot of downsides to being noticeably autistic, but its very fun how i can make life hell for passive aggressive people. if i pick up on someone being rude to me in a "if you say anything, everyone will think youre overreacting and that youre the aggressor" way, you can just... pretend you didnt see it. "thank you :)" can be such a reverse uno card. what're they gonna do? announce that theyre trying to hurt me but are too incompetent to finish the job? "sorry, im autistic so im not sure what you mean by that. could you say it a bit clearer?" or "you mean that as a compliment, right?" fuckin gotcha. no weaseling out of it. say it with your chest, fucker

i hate that i have no volume control. i try so, so hard to reel it in but when im happy, excited, relaxed, comfortable, etc. i talk and laugh loud. it’s as involuntary as laughter. i don’t realize until i get shushed, then i feel like my heart got stomped on. it’s so frustrating because i KNOW it is annoying but can’t seem to help it. getting called on it always takes me from happy to feeling awful in a millisecond

i know there's several ocd creatures already but i didn't vibe with any of them so here's mine. its name is smh creature. it moves around by hiding into the ground and then reemerging (at the worst possible moment) but can also slide around.

allistic people are always like "think before you speak" but like one of THEE defining characteristics of autism is having a slower processing speed so thinking our words through *takes longer* than it does for allistics! so basically you have to choose between a) taking a fucking WHILE to think before you speak (miss your opportunity to talk, or allistic people get frustrated/decide you're stupid) or b) saying something kinda thoughtless (allistic people get offended and don't listen when you try to explain what you ACTUALLY meant just bc you communicated it poorly the first time)
anyway i am hypothesizing that this is a big part of why autistic people are so often stereotyped as being callous/thoughtless in our speech. not bc we don't think about our words or care about their impact, but bc allistic ppl *do not allow us the time we need* to think about our words.

the thing about autism in fiction is there are autistic-coded characters, but then there are also accidentally autistic characters, and there is basically zero overlap btwn these. autism-coding is when a character is Weird and Blunt and Very Smart and Bad At Feelings and, at least in western media, probably a white man. your spencer reids and your L deathnotes.
but accidental autism is when you make up a guy and when you're deciding what they're like you pick several traits common to autistic people. and you don't mean to do this, and you aren't intentionally leaning on any kind of trope, you are just writing a person and sometimes people are autistic. you have met autistics, knowingly or not – maybe you yourself are an autistic, knowingly or not – so you know people are like that. you aren't making any kind of statement, you are just making a guy.
this post is about zuko of the fire nation. i know we know but hot damn that boy is diagnosable

being picky with specific food preferences is SO fun and by fun i mean you get to request food a certain way at restaurants and then sit there feeling like you should be dragged out into the street and shot for being so inconvenient to staff

Autism and/or BPD doesn't cause systems.
BPD splitting and DID/OSDD splitting are not the same.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
