One of my favorite things about having autism/adhd is forgetting a piece of media exists that I absolutely love, so that when I finally remember it exists, I have like two whole brand new seasons to binge

when will higher functioning / less support needs / less disabled autistics realize that the difference between stims and tics isn't voluntary vs. not voluntary

this idea that you can control stims is bad. It (even if not on purpose) says that people who has self injury stims can just stop. we can't. I cant just wait to stim later. If i could just stop injuring myself by stimming, i would.

please stop spreading false information about stims.

the difference between stims and tics is that stims self soothes (even if it hurts you physically) while tics do not

I have been questioning myself and my entire life for the past few months and like damn. a lot about autism feels v relatable and id just like to learn more but everywhere i look into doesnt rlly give me very nuanced explanations of experience. ty <3

#muertotalks #me not having step by step visual or text interpretations of experiences or else i dont understand things...is also evidence of maybe autism #lol #among other things but #all the self assessments ive taken r like brooooo u r soo not normal #got like a 140/200 on the aspie quiz oops #but im not finding much on like #being transmasc with autism #or being latino/mexican with autism #stuff like that i wud really really enjoy #like wow maybe i can finally have an explanation for why i feel this way #or at least try to sort it all out #kinda hilarious nearly every autistic person ive ever met has been like uhm. i get along with u too well. r u sure ur not autistic #and i just start sweatin bro

The concept of indoctrinating children with fear as a parenting approach revolves around using fear as a means of control. It's a strategy where parents use the emotion of fear to influence their children's behavior and decisions. This approach appears effective initially, as children might comply out of fear of consequences. However, there are deeper implications to consider.

When children grow up in an environment where fear is the primary motivator, they may eventually come to realize that things they were afraid of are not as menacing as once thought. This realization can weaken the effectiveness of fear-based tactics, making it harder for parents to maintain control over their children's actions.

To counter this, parents might escalate their tactics, resorting to even harsher punishments or stricter rules in an attempt to regain control. This cycle can lead to a negative dynamic between parents and children, with fear at its core, and even abuse.

Research indicates that living in a state of constant fear and stress can be harmful to both physical and mental health. Stress triggers a physiological response known as the "fight or flight" response, which is meant to protect us from immediate danger. However, when this response becomes chronic due to prolonged exposure to fear, it can lead to various health issues, including anxiety and other emotional disorders.

Chronic stress impacts the brain. It diverts blood flow away from the part of the brain responsible for logical thinking, reasoning, and decision-making. This makes it difficult for individuals to process information effectively or to make rational choices. Consequently, individuals caught in a cycle of fear-based parenting may find it difficult to think clearly and make good decisions, perpetuating the cycle further.

In summary, while fear-based parenting might yield short-term compliance, its long-term effects on children's well-being and their ability to make informed decisions suffers greatly. It's important for parents to consider healthier approaches that nurture trust, open communication, and the emotional stability of their children.

ive had appointments with the nurse for my care agency recently and when she asked how my carers were i said generally good apart from one lady who turned out to be racist, but i think she's refusing to take on shifts with me anyway

(the old bag brought up politics, a baffling decision to make in a professional context anyway, then said something very racist about politicians of a particular race and i refused to let it slide ... i was proud of myself actually she was never gonna change her mind but i used it as an opportunity to practice calling someone in, we had quite a long civil conversation till she suddenly denied that settlers killed anyone & started losing it at which point i was like hmm lets stop here .... she mysteriously never came back lol)

anyway that's all to say it turns out that the nurse wrote "no racists" in the specifications for what carers are suitable for me lmfao

#its interesting she was the first of several people i've talked to recently who when you point out that their prejudice #isn't fair/doesn't make sense/is shitty/whatever they will agree with you and then immediately return to expressing the prejudice #like intellectually they grasp that it's wrong & not logical but they are prioritising their feeling #about the matter #the other one is a lady who unfortunately has embraced some aspie supremacy shit from temple grandin #while in a different context said she didn't like genetic engineering because it was too close to eugenics #people are ... fascinating 🤔 #it me

Why am I like this?

Me to myself when I mask well enough to pass as normal and functioning:

See?! You lazy, dumb frell up, you're perfectly normal and functioning.

Me to myself when I don't manage to mask properly:

My god, how big of a frell up am I? How can I be this incompetent at being viable?!

Also me to myself when I don't manage to mask properly:

You lazy, dumb frell up, just do the things and do them properly! Stop pretending you're struggling. You're just trying to get around it because you're lazy.

But I'm not actually like this. I'm just making it sound much worse than it actually is.

YouTube recommending me videos called “differences between autism and Asperger’s” by a channel called aspie world is basically a hate crime

#actually autistic #I fucking haaaaate aspies dude #and by that I mean people who identify with Asperger’s rather than Autism #bro was literally a eugenicist who murdered ‘low functioning’ autistics #but yeah sure let’s continue to use the system he created and immortalize his name like he didn’t work with the fucking Nazis #all so you can feel special and superior to other autistics #disGoisting #why would YouTube make me look at this with my own two eyes

When I was younger I thought being funny was something you had to grow into- like “drink your milk so you can get big and strong and funny”

Anyways, I’ve been an adult for a little while now and I’m starting to think that’s not how it works.

Had to rewrite this multiple times bc I was worried it would sound like I’m tooting my own horn or something

but I genuinely get surprised when I’m heavily praised for doing something that I genuinely see as a neutral thing to do

Eg If I find someone’s folder that’s wet, I’m going to try my best to dry the paper before giving it to them. Bc i someone find my wet folder with notes in them, I would like it if they dried them for me, as it saves me time from doing it and it prolly means the notes are less ruined

like I have actually done something like this a week ago. I am confused still that I was praised for doing it so much. It’s just a neutral thing for me to do. I don’t actually view it as a nice thing to do. I don’t know how to explain how I view it but I can’t say I don’t like when I’m told I’m a nice person as I’d be a giant lier lol

#It’s the same with ‘complements’ #if I eg say “I like your dress” #I’m actually just saying I like your dress #I don’t actually care if that makes you feel nice #I’m just stating my that I like it #Like j can tell if I’m complementing or stating #bc if it’s a complement I’m doing after thinking about it and on purpose and it’s a statement I’m just blurting out that I like it #neurodivergent #aspie stuff #i think #Idk #It’s annoying as I also without thinking if I’m actually eg enough energy to help people #like I’ve also helped them wished I didn’t because it meant I missed out

vcing w my friends rn but i kinda just muted and stopped watching and talking now bcs. :”)

Sorry for the spam of autism posts. I saw a TikTok where someone said "tism fandom" and it made me really mad. It's a disability, not a "fandom" and I know they were joking but still, it really upset me.

I can't imagine how someone on the spectrum could manage to live on their own and take care of themselves /gen, but people on TikTok seem to think it's just not getting sarcasm and flapping your hands when excited.

Also, before people accuse me, I am not anti self diagnosis. 1) I'm not entitled to your medical history/records. 2) self diagnosis is often the first step, and can help people become more self informed regarding self accommodation even if they turn out to not be autistic in the end.

I really do feel like existence is not for me. I can’t live in this world. I don’t fit in. I can’t live in this anxiety and depression forever. I want to escape this.

I just wish my brain was different. Asperger’s in adulthood is fucking unbearable. Combined w bpd and adhd I feel like I’m living a constant nightmare. Meds don’t seem to be that much of a help either. Feeling hopeless and I honestly don’t know if want to do anything with my life. Just the thought of living like this and learning how to seems so pointless.
