Growing up I was told I was "unique", "one of a kind", "different", etc.

Then I learned that the traits I have are experienced by millions of people and have names! ADHD, Autism, OCD, seizures, hypotonia, dysautonomia, etc.

Then I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. I was so happy because it meant I finally found "my people" only to discover that I am nothing like all the other people with my genetic disease.

I went right back to being "one of a kind" and "rare within rare". I finally got answers just to discover that the labels we so desperately crave don't actually answer anything.

My advice to people - stop putting so much importance on labels. Labels don't mean anything. The symptoms you experience are what matter. Symptoms can overlap and be identical between different disorders that are nothing a like. But when we hold labels above symptoms we will always exclude people who truly experience the same things as us.

And yes, I'm aware that this may seem like it contradicts my statement that self diagnosing yourself with my genetic disorder is rude. However, it doesn't. A genetic disorder is a mutation of a very specific gene on a very specific chromosome that is specific to each individual person. Just like a heart defect is a very specific condition that only exists in people who don't have a healthy heart.

My genetic disorder doesn't have a label. It is too rare to have a label. So instead, we focus on the symptoms because the symptoms are the only thing that can be controlled.

You know when you just

s c r e e c h

And then people look at you weird.

But your neurodivergent buds know exactly what you mean.

One thing I don't like about this test, (apart from all the questions basically bing "how does your potential disorder inconvenience everyone around you") is that it doesn't include the combined type in the results

Obviously this shouldn't be taken too seriously as it's an online test, but still. Bothers me a bit.

IF YOU'RE NOT AUTISTIC, LISTEN THE FUCK UP

I'm autistic and here's shit you need to know!

ABA therapy is abuse. There is no debate on this topic.

Fuck Autism Speaks, they're ableist and they misuse the money they're given.

If you're not autistic, I don't want to hear your opinion about anything related to autism. Just listen to us.

The puzzle piece has ableist origins.

Autistic people are disabled. Autism is a developmental disability. Disabled is not a bad word.

You don't know more about autism than autistic people. I don't care if your entire family is autistic, you don't know more than autistic people.

Mocking people for their interests and calling them cringey is ableist.

Vaccines don't cause autism, and even if they did, you should still vaccinate your kids.

I am not afraid of noise/light etc. Certain sensory inputs cause me pain.

The r word is a slur. Don't say it.

Non-verbal doesn't mean we can't hear or understand what you are saying.

Verbal communication is not the only method of communicating. Just because a person is non-verbal, doesn't mean they can't respond to what you're saying.

Sign language, writing, sound boards, and cards with words on them are all form of non-verbal communication.

Do not post a video of your child having a meltdown or shutdown on the internet. Imagine how you would feel if someone posted a video of you on the internet at one of your worst moments without your consent.

The Big Bang Theory is shit representation. So is Adam and Atypical. If it's not written by an autistic person, its probably shit. Neurotypical writers can include autistic characters, but they cant write stories about being autistic.

@ nd ppl did y’all have a hyperfixation as a kid that the adults around you thought was “weird” or “not something kids are interested in”? For me it was Ancient Egyptian mummies

#magiccan speaks #w rb bait #tagging jic #for the record it was about everything about mummies #not just the cultural/religious aspects of it #(even though that was a big part of it obviously) I’m talking about the actualy process of it too #it was in 2nd or 3rd grade I think #I would constantly read and reread the same books about them #honestly I don’t think being into that kinda thing is weird #but idk other ppl thought it was weird #probably thanks to our way culture hates death :/#actually I’m thinking about reading up on mummification again now that I’m a lot more death positive #and also I’m aware that the books I read came from a heavily Western narrative #treating actual religious rituals and beliefs as nothing more than primitive superstition #even tho those beliefs and rituals came from a very rich culture and also led #to incredibly important discoveries about the human body #did I mention that I’m very passionate about religion and faith #ANYWAY enough rambling this is a topic I could go on for ages about #but yeah I wanna about other folks’ experiences #neurodiversity #hyperfixation #hyperfixations #neurodivergent #hyperfixating

The people that you should be wary of or avoid. Lesson nr2

the first group of people that you should avoid are the negative folks who spat out garbage pressed in a smooth charismatic look. You will see the anti sjws and far right folk. They know how to get people to like them by being smooth and having a charismatic look help. But be warry and avoid them, specaly when you a minority group that might fit their little criteria, they will only see as a token or as a tool to get more sympaty. Some examples, carl of the youtube channel sargon of akkad, lauren chen of roaming mellenial, prager u.

These folks are extremely ignorant in their field but due their social skill manage to garner lots of people. dont fall for them, their are also left wing folk like tankies that might use the same tactic, this is actualy for any political compas.

Toxic positive people: These folks will promote harmful ideas or harmful healt ideas, like eugina coony, shes a pro anna who shows of her boddy alot and does adult content, even though she has a young audience. Dont promote their content and stay far away from them, they dont care about you at all and they paint their illnes or struggle with a smile, DID is also a person who glamorizes her DID, by switching on camera.

People who use charity to garner sympathy, some people use charity to hide their nasty nature, a old example is the pedo jimmy savel, he was a brithish tv maker who used his charity to garner sympaty from multible celebs and governent people, he behind the scenes harmed and damaged many young childeren and women yet he before his death was a well respected man with a charity. Same with micheal jackson.

People who infiltrate activist groups or any group that promoto a good moral. MAPS infiltratring the LBTQIA and claiming that their sicknes must be added even though no normal person within the group will accept them. Older folks who groom younger folks withint the LBTQIA. Folks who use their neurodiverse kid and who create videos to garner support from the neurodiverse and LBTQIA comunity such as again DID and Kathy Joy from without a crystal ball but also folks like creepshow art. They make videos in order to garner lots of vunereble naive and kind young neurodiverse and LBTQIA folks. They will apear to them because of the direct language they use.

Always be warry when it comes comentary channels, you can enjoy their content but if you cant see the red flags and others will make videos about them unfollow them directly, same with art comentary channels, same with any youtuber.

If a famous person be it on youtube or any platform enters your dm, be very warry the moment you feel uncomfy or they tell you what to do block and report them. Never give them your personal info.

Uni course starts next month and I have no support and my grades are constantly getting worse. During ym first year I started off good and was predicted top mark set and now I'm only just getting into the pass bracket. I don't know whats wrong with me and I have no support going ahead so I'm pretty much screwed and don't think I should waste £9k on a course I wont pass
