my autistic ass when someone talks about "masking" in a subtle enough way so that I have no idea if they support masking in public (wearing a mask) or if they think people with invisible disabilities should mask (hide their disability and act like abled people) because it's "better for everyone" (ps. it is not, fuck ableists)

an eloquent take down of the "people are self diagnosing autism to be trendy and for attention" take that morons have been echoing on tiktok

Hey btw if you have an autistic person in your life pls know that they do care about you. They're bonding with you by sitting near you, by sending you memes, by liking your posts, by info dumping to you. We have weird ways of showing we care but trust me we do.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, being autistic is like playing a board game without knowing any of the rules.

Autistic culture is being weirdly possesive over your space even if it's not technically your space because if someone else takes your space it's a disruption of your routine

i think we should reclaim the phrase “autism won today” from those weird moms and instead use it whenever we decide to buy that fidget toy we’ve been wanting or engage in our special interest(s) a little too much™️ or literally anything else positive about the autistic experience

autistic culture is needing explicit directions for even the simplest of tasks and without the directions having zero idea how to get it done because What If I Do It Wrong(tm)

My entire childhood: Don't use that tone with me!/Don't talk to me like that!/Why do you have such an attitude?

Me, who didn't know about autism: What?

Autism culture is forcing yourself to be really bubbly all the time and as soon as you quiet down bc of overstimulation everyone gets rlly concerned.

I can’t speak for anyone else but for me, being autistic is being the one that’s left out of the group every single time

It’s being the wallflower, the ghost, that one unremarkable person that no one would miss if they were gone

Being autistic and interacting with coworkers and friends and supervisors is like trying to solve a puzzle that has no reference picture

It’s like trying to solve a formula with a bunch of different factors such as social cues, tone, body language, eye contact, loudness, etc.

I’m trying to figure out how to solve for x but I can’t even figure out what y is, and I’ve never been good at math

I could read every book on social interactions, and still be unable to know when it’s my turn to talk because my brain isn’t wired that way

My brain was wired to live in my own fantasy land, in my middle earth. It was not meant to handle the stress of work plus socializing

Today I felt like everyone hated me because I cannot figure out what someone’s tone means. Is she joking with me, or is she mad?

My brain makes me feel like people pour poison about me onto other’s ears, behind my back, like how Claudius poisoned Hamlet’s father

I’ve had therapists that would tell me to just simply talk to people and ask them to hang out, as if it were that simple.

Alas, if only they knew that for me that feels like taking a dive into the fires of Mountain Doom! That the mere thought makes me shiver

I am autistic. And I’m proud to be autistic. But it is hard to exist in a world that was not designed for me, and I’m tired
