Roblox Has A Problem
Hey everyone, sorry for the more serious post today, but I have an important issue I really need to talk about and bring attention to.
Recently when I was trying to upload one of my autistic pride designs to make a t-shirt on Roblox, I was sent a moderation warning saying this:
Tumblr media
(And this was the image I uploaded btw):
Tumblr media
Obviously I was annoyed and frustrated by this, so I contacted Roblox and sent an appeal message.

Today I received a response from Roblox Support saying this:
Tumblr media
Does this action seem fair to you? Because it doesn't feel fair to me. I ranted to one of my autistic online friends about it after, where we discussed it in more detail and you can understand more of the context around why this is so messed up. (I got permission to share these screenshots.)

I know Roblox moderation has never been great, it's always had its issues. But as annoying as that is, in this case I feel like it's crossed a line. This isn't just about Roblox either, this is about how society views autism and the lack of autism education in general. I'm not just upset because I can't post something on Roblox, I'm upset because my voice as an autistic person is being silenced while other products on that platform are clearly mocking autism, and I'm trying to teach people about us. This is completely unjustified, and it sets a scary precedent when marginalized groups get censored for talking about their own experiences. Yes, Roblox is for all ages, and we should keep conversations appropriate, absolutely. But autistic people's existence, disability in general, is not inappropriate, kids should be learning about it. We don't need to discuss eugenics and hate crimes towards disabled people on Roblox, of course not, but I should be able to mention my identity without fear of being punished.
Basically, censoring the word autistic doesn't protect autistic people from hate, bullying, and discrimination, that is still happening regardless. What it does do is make it harder for us to fight back and stand up for ourselves, teach people about the realities of autism and normalize us as human beings. It's doing more harm than good, and that's what I hope Roblox can start to realize.
If you agree with me and want to make a difference, please reblog this and share it as many places as you can. We need to send a message to Roblox, and show them that silencing autistic voices is not ok. Obviously, be civil and respectful though, I just want to have a peaceful conversation about this problem, and hopefully Roblox will care enough to hear us out.

I love laying in bed inside my apartment being able to hear distant trash trucks driving and slinging dumpsters, cars leaving/entering the lot, airplanes, people talking outside, keys jingling as they walk by, cars honking as they lock. Being autistic and adhd is like having supernatural hearing you do. not. want. and did. not. ask. for.

More Autistic Klance
Keith: Food needs to be soft and borderline overcooked. Cannot touch hardwood floor with his bare feet. Goes nonverbal very frequently, really struggles with eye contact and small talk. Fidgets when he has to talk in front of others and his blade is his comfort object. Can adapt to new things quickly
Lance: Do not overcook his food. Socks are his enemies. Impulse rambles and needs to be gently stop when he falls into a spiral. Can pick up on social cues and doesn't have to struggle as much to make eye contact. Stims when things are quiet, needs a lot of stimulation. Always need a blanket. Struggles to adapt to new change / information

This gif resonates with me as a Autistic person. It is so hard writing emails and talking to people, being so direct with everyone. I have to translate everything I am about to say in either a professional or kind or helpful tone. Sometimes I just want to skip that step or worse I unintentionally skip that step.

I wish I was neurotypical sometimes 😡 then I would know all the right things to say,
I wouldn’t be scared to leave my house or make phone calls, or make friends or fear being perceived. Maybe I’d be further along in life hmm just random thoughts but I wonder what life would be like to be normal brained
typical brains just don’t under stand ND brains and I hate it. I feel like a lot of the bigger picture of the things I say is always missed because of something small I said inside that big picture. If that even makes any sense LOL

each year I sense more strongly that autistic childhood is so inherently traumatizing because of ableism that a truly untraumatized autistic person is an essentially impossible find.

I just wish that my neurodiversity was being accepted by the people around me… that I can just be, instead of having to live up to their expectations that I cannot bring true.

The before Camile vs The New Camile.
Change is happening and the new and better version of myself has finally come out.
Let’s just say that I wanted to do something different for a change in my lifetime because it’s a new year to come.
So I dyed my hair red for a change in my lifetime.
I’m ready for something bigger and more meaningful and exciting in my life.
Ready for changes in my life. Something tells me that I can be ready for something new. I’m ready for the new year and I’m ready to the best version of myself that I can be for my family, my friends and myself.
Say hello to the new stronger, more confident, more ready Camile & say goodbye to the old Camile.

I constantly question my autism as a late diagnosed autistic person but literally all my friends and partner are like “nahhhh you’re definitely autistic” but I still feel like a fraud. I just feel like a lazy pos bc I was so programmed to feel this way. Yknow ? It just fucking sucks. Bc I constantly just feel like I’m just lazy and not trying hard enough (I also have physical disabilities & chronic illnesses) bc I was abused so much most of my life and even my physical disabilities & chronic illnesses were gaslighted. I have no idea how to just be satisfied with myself existing as I need to bc of all my abuse & trauma even when everyone around me is validating my autism & disabilities/illnesses. I hate this programming from trauma. I wish I could cure myself of this human computer virus.

Another Autistic Keith HC:
When you talk to him, he will make such intense eye contact (bc "That's what you do :)") to the point that if you shift your eyes away first, he gets a sense of pride.
Someone: *chatting*
Keith: *staring and nodding*
Same person: *shifts their eyes away and keeps talking*
Keith, in his head: I beat autism
