While I understand the importance of moderation and a healthy diet we autistics have to work around an already limited diet thanks to sensory issues and food aversions.

Você acha que tudo bem eu (sendo autista) gostar de um livro (Mockingbird/Passarinha) mesmo tendo problemas consideráveis na maneira que representam autismo? Acho que ficou mal o modo que fizeram ela "finalmente" sentir luto, o jeito que fazem uma separação entre síndrome de asperger e autismo e a evolução de personagem focou demais em ela aprender a agir como uma neurotípica (sem falar nas metáforas ruins), mas, sem ser nos momentos problemáticos, eu nunca me identifiquei tanto com uma personagem de um livro e queria saber o que você acha de recomendar o livro pra amigos não autistas, só que explicando os problemas do livro.

Amiga, eu gosto do Sheldon de the big ban theory. Quem sou eu pra te julgar pelo seu personagem autista de estimação? 😭

Eu nunca li esse livro, então acho difícil opinar nesse caso. Mas se você acha que na sua situação, vai ser útil com algumas ressalvas, então eu te desejo sorte!

Por outro lado, quando eu vou recomendar mídia sobre autismo pros outros, eu tenho meus favoritos:

Diferença invisível - que é um quadrinho que tem em português e é ótimo pra dar definições gerais e mostrar a perspectiva da pessoa.

Unmasking autism - é muito bom, mas ainda não saiu a versão em português

Humano a sua maneira - é bom pra pais, professores, cuidadores etc

Spectrum women - é legal mas também só tem em inglês

E recomendo os quadrinhos 'Autismo em quadrinhos', que tem no instagram e 'Autie-biographical comics'. Boa sorte!

So, since I realized I was autistic I've tried really hard to stop my internalized ableism and starts unmasking more. But lately, at the top of my progress, things just started going downhill. I started experiencing internalized ableism again, trying to mask more, and just feeling worse. Why's that? What'd I do wrong?

hello !!

although unmasking can be very, very helpful, the process of unmasking itself can be extremely draining without you even realizing it

i’m thinking you may be experiencing something called autistic burnout, which is essentially a depressive episode that many autistic people will go through at least once during their lifetime

this little comic book panel from @autiebiographical describes it well 👇🏼

these episodes can last days, weeks, months, or in extreme cases, years. but it is most definitely that you can get through and will

it’s important to rest, avoid social situations when you can (but still let in people with lower energy and people that will respect the fact that you need time), interact with the things that make you happy—or just content—in order to get through this

basically, just consider yourself as your main priority, because you are

[Image id: Four panel comic by autistic artist Autie-biographical. Title of comic is Helpless Help. Four panels depict two women, one with brown hair and a green shirt, one blonde with a purple shirt. Panel 1, brunette says - I'm really struggling with something. Could you help me? Panel 2, blonde replies - Why? Because you're autistic? You don't need help. You just want pity and attention. Panel 3 - brunette says - Nevermind. I'll just do it myself. Panel 4 - blonde replies, now scowling - Oh! So you don't need help? I knew it! You're just faking being autistic for pity and attention! The brunette scowls in response to the blonde woman's attitude.]

I grew up in the 90s where I constantly was told to "Be Weird!" Apparently I was supposed to be neurotypical weird, not autistic weird.

Hi! I really hope it's not rude to ask, but I'm searching for resources on autism because I want to understand more about autistic people. My boyfriend is autistic and often I have a hard time understanding things about his experience. Could you recommend me some resources or blogs to follow? Thank you so much

Sure, I’ll tag some of my favourite autism blogs :)

@positiveautistic, @autistickeely, @autie-j, @butterflyinthewell, @autismisaokay, @living-with-autism

On Facebook, there’s also Neurodivergent Rebel, Agony Autie, Autie-biographical Comics, I also have my own Facebook page appropriately titled “Autistic Questions”

[modusmumbles]

Thing I didn't realise was autism #11

I have to thank @autie-biographical for this one, I can't find the exact comic again rn but *please* check out their blog anyway, it's very good and insightful!

A panel in one of the more recent comics shows the main character (who is autistic) describing a red shirt as a blue shirt, and the person who was wearing the shirt getting annoyed - you mean when I mess up my words? Say the exact opposite of what I mean sometimes? That's *also* on autism?

The times when I messed up my lunch order, or asked the people in my art class for the wrong colour paint, or said it's really sunny outside when it's clearly bucketing in down... That's not me just Being Bad with words, that's a genuine autism thing! What a relief to know! :)

My friend just suggested to me a few hours ago that I might be on the spectrum and about a dozen things just made sense all at once. I did a bit of preliminary research and I really identify with the majority of what I've found (especially stimming?? Sensory sensitivities??? That's what that is??). Do you have any tips or resources for ppl who are new to autism? Is it disrespectful to others to identify with the term autistic or talk about it more openly without a diagnosis?

As far as tips go my suggestions to you are is to start experimenting with coping mechanisms and build a support system. It sounds like your friend may be good for that.

Autism is not a one size fits all we have different unique traits, stims, special interests, and present in different ways. So something I say may not apply to everyone or mean because it manifests in a different way it’s automatically going to make anyone any less autistic. There’s no one way to be autistic.

The best tip I can give you is to pace yourself with all this information. Many autistic people are delighted and very good at research. However, it’s also easy to get overloaded by all that information, especially as an autistic person. Give yourself some time to process all this information even when you feel like you might not need a break. Time it if you need to. Autistic people have been known to have delays in going from one task to another. So having set times to know when to go back and stop something may help.

You said you really identified with stimming so one resource I can give you is this link to a website called stimtastic. They have affordable stim toys and stim jewelry available to all ages.

https://www.stimtastic.co/stim-toys

As far as identifying as autistic that’s not my choice to make, if you feel comfortable in that than that’s your choice. How other people react to it us up to them as well but that doesn’t give people the right to be rude to you either so remember that. And always keep yourself open to other possibilities.

With resources go I’d suggest looking at the tags “actuallyautistic” or actually autistic” it just depends on how people spell it. You’ll find other autistic people talking about their experiences and tips as well. It’s also harder for me to give you tips unless it’s a specific topic. Autism is so diverse and I could be here for a while just rambling on until the point of exhaustion on the different phases and may not get to what you really want to know. (Which doesn’t take long, lol)

Here are some blogs I suggest: @autie-j, @autie-biographical , @candidlyautistic, @autistic-cryptid @autistic-on-fire , @positiveautistic, @shendrona @spongebob-autisticquestions

Some are more autism-related and others have stuff sprinkled in but are still good people to follow.

[autism-things-for-my-parents]

So my mom and therapist both think I'm autistic (I clearly stim and have social/sensory problems) and I started doing research on it which I think was a bad idea because now I can't stop and I spend hours on end looking at diagnostic criteria and autistic blogs and I think maybe autism itself is my new special interest (if I am. And it's possible/allowed) but it makes me feel like I'm faking it but it's the Thing I Have To Read About™ is that normal? What should I do?

Don’t worry, you’re not faking it. It was the same for me and a lot of autistic people. Anything, absolutely anything, can become a special interest. Autism itself isn’t even that uncommon! 

Have this @autie-biographical comic as a treat:

Autism has long been synonymous with "struggle". If you don't struggle, if you're successful or you're just happy with life people are less likely to recognize you as autistic, except for other autistic people.

I swear, we have an autism radar. Autie-radar? Autie-dar?

We need to stop devaluing non-speaking communication.

I honestly believe that sign language should be taught in school. Non-speaking people aren't the only ones who benefit from it. Making the world a more accessible place helps all of us.
