Lost in Translation: The Social Language Theory of Neurodivergence | by Trauma Geek | Medium

Up until now, scientists have studied us like they study animals — not asking our opinion or considering that there may be a complex system of mind behind the behaviors that they do not understand. They theorize that we are less empathetic, less aware of others, less social. More like robots than people.

They have largely not tried to understand the biological mechanisms that create our experience of self. Instead they have tried every means possible to force us to act neurotypical.

I have a question. Also, you're my favorite Royai artist (the characters as individuals and together). You've mentioned that you consider Riza autistic many times, but have you ever given your support for why you think that? I'm just curious what your thoughts are.

comparing to my own experience but it's common to see autistic people be taken as uninterested and rude for being unexpressive and blunt. so it's mainly about riza being presented as stoic and somewhat scary but gradually being shown she's very kind and fun and even makes bad jokes with a straight face (it's so moe........) but is bad at expressing that, which makes both other characters and viewers think she's always annoyed and no-fun when that's not true.. it's so important to me

she also barely understands other people's feelings and takes things too literally, or say things out loud you probably shouldn't

like at the hughes' funeral scene when roy says it's raining and riza's immediate reaction is to go "it's not??" LOL or when roy is coming up with problems as excuse to not fight ed in flame vs fullmetal and riza very promptly solves them...! it's all very Autism to me.. my mom works for arakawa and she told me it's true

basically:

(i haven't watched brotherhood in so long but i'm like 80% sure these panels i used are all scenes that didn't make it into the anime which is why i'm an avid brotherhood hater and you should read the manga)

#i !!! could go on but it's too long #and subjective i guess i dont want it to look like i'm reaching but it's so obvious TO ME ok !!!! #two wolves inside me one wants to reply to this with just 'arakawa told me' n the other wants to make a 50 page doc with visual evidence #they're the autism brothers #asked #also thank you...! i'm slightly surprised you like my roy individually he's just in my art to be accessory for riza #fma #riza hawkeye #will throw it in the tag fuck it !!!!!!

i don't want to start any blasphemous rumors but i think that god's got a sick sense of humor and when i die i expect to find him laughing

#akane kurashiki #zero escape #zero escape 999 #zero escape vlr #zero escape ztd #art #// #spoilers #image lyrics: human behaviour - bjork #yes its been a while but be grateful my setup outside of uni is abhorrent. #tagged all the games bc her outfit is a mixture of them all #but more of a focus on vlr #fun fact the ribcage is actually one of those avant garde fashion accessories but everyones tagging it with like body horror #i mean cheers i guess it can represent both #also its so funny that ive drawn akane more than any other ze character bc when i first played 999 i hated her #i have pda autism and didnt like that the game was trying to force me to like her LOL but now i understand she is everything

[soundsdangeresque]

assigned every dangeresque character lps ! continued in rbs cuz of image limit lol

dangeresque - german shepherd #375

the main man!! wanted a kinda "tough" dog for him, so here we are (also i specifically picked one that looked like the one i picked for dadgeresque shh)

dangeresque too - bull terrier #

ok tbh. im a little biased i had this one as kid but hes silly ok. anyway also a little bit of a "tough" dog for him :] (gonna admit i had a Lot of trouble w dangeresque too </3 so sorry)

renaldo - monkey #834

(random ebay picture cuz the one on lpsmerch doesnt have him w the fez on </3) um. yeah i chose this one just cuz of the fez and also hes lankier than the chimp (also fez'd)

perducci - chow chow #384

oh you Know this bitch is a crusty purse dog in any universe

killingyouguy - shark #2139

hes blue and squareish and could kill you. thats about it really

cutesy buttons - cat longhair #511

i was obsessed w this specific cat in the lps wii game as a kid so its only fair. the colors match and the patterns cute what else do you want from me

sultry buttons - cat longhair #

wanted her and cutesy buttons to be the same species tbh cuz im p sure theyre sisters? anyway colors.

diamonocle - parrot #882

get it. cuz of the monocle so its. its an eyepatch. also hes orangey and blue but the. the eyepatch do you get the bit hey do you

szechuan steve/craig/the cheat - leopard #388

ok so the cheat doesnt really play anyone important enough to warrant different lps dfghfg so we get One with different outfits on to differenciate them (so like real dangeresque) (ALSO this one is from the pets around the world thing which i thought would be kinda funny for the istanbul thing)

hot tub/the informants/strong sad - persian #263

another mash of characters but yknow. idk why strong sads a cat it just felt Right

Hi Kiku! We hope you are having a good day!

Do you or any of your followers know if there are options for second displays for iPad AAC devices? Have iPad for school but AAC voice causes overstim sometimes so want other option for speaking. Cannot buy dedicated device but maybe can buy accessory device that shows aac text.

Something like TD snap partner window but separate? Idk

Also if you want to share, what accessories do you use/want?

Kiku is not sure of anything like this available 🤔 Might exist but Kiku not know. Followers maybe know?

Kiku wants to get a harness for talker, a small picture card binder, trans pride shoulder strap, versa wrap case from PRC, and stickers for talker.

Kiku is sorry this is so late, Kiku hasn't seen this ask before, even though it old.

Thank for ask!

A lot of times, what is seen as "irrational" or rigid or "obsessive" behavior in autistic people is actually related to intense anxiety caused by repeated sensory trauma, inaccessibility and ableism.

Image Description:

Purple cartoon narwhal on a turquoise blue background.

White text reads:

“Many autistic people experience intense anxiety that looks very different from social anxiety*

*This is not intended to minimize what people with social anxiety experience, but to illustrate the differences in how many (but not all) autistic people experience a different kind of anxiety as a protective skill in an ableist world!

Text framed in light gray reads:

Autistic Anxiety:

-is not the same as "negative thinking" or over thinking or worrying

-has physical symptoms such as difficulty breathing or concentrating & increased heart rate

-can be related to anticipating overwhelming & painful sensory experiences that we are unable to avoid a lot of the time

-can be related to fear of being misinterpreted, tone policed or being harshly judged & even punished for communication differences

-having your access needs constantly overlooked or ignored leads to increased anxiety

-telling an autistic person that "anxiety is lying" to them feels like gaslighting behavior

-in some situations, what is called anxiety can be seen as a tool to help us navigate & prepare for a world that is not kind or accessible to autistic people

the relationship between labels and someone's personal/social identity is kinda getting completely demented due to capitalism and social media

#krill livestream #like. whenever i see people say as a [][][] person im like. who are you talking to #it's like. self marketing. you introduce yourself as a product with certain features that makes you think of yourself #as a better fit to talk about something. or as someone worthy of being watched #the idea of like. a 'neurodivergent' community used to be vaguely about our shared struggles and social needs maybe. but now there's like #autism content. which is honestly hilarious. im making a terrible point because i love autism content. personally think the yippee creature #is amazibng and a delight. but anyways. like. labels has become internet accessories at this point #like cottagecore []core etc-core and the nuttiest thing is. labels goes out of fashion #obviously not when its disability core unfortunately im gonna be disabled for like baby. but like. how trendy it is as a topic #how marketable and consumable it is as topic. as content. changes. and its nuts to look at it at a macro level #also i have gripes with certain groups. maybe autismcore is cringe or maybe it just happens to attract all the cringe autistic people #jsyk im autistic. as an autistic person. from my silly autism experience #if you needed that to validate my personal observations #also what the fucxk is 'im gonna be disabled for like baby' oh it was supposed to be for life
