#autistic siblings

[shartlock-holmes]

Not my usual post but it’s jus tsomethinng I want to know more abt:

Can someone better explain autism to me?

My brother has autism and I have ADHD, and it can make it hard to interact with eachother, (ie; apart of my adhd habits is studying peoples faces and looking at their eyes and tracking their eyes, partially because I have a hard time remembering faces, and my brother hates eye contact and dislikes being stared at)

I often find myself getting annoyed at him for his way of speaking and his rudeness (for lack of a better word, I can’t think of anything else right now), and I’m trying to better understand it so that I don’t get upset with him (I find that I have a hyper fixation on other people following rules— mostly because I grew up in a household with strict a rules, down to the time that you were allowed to eat), and I don’t want to be getting mad at him over something he can’t control.

I really want to better understand his behaviors and stuff so that I can help show that I’m acknowledging him, and I want to be able to better read his emotions so that he doesn’t get angry like he used to.

This is kinda rambly but whatevez, if one of y’all can explain autism and autistic habits and what they mean I’d really appreciate it ♡

Being autistic with an autistic sibling is great sometimes because there are times when we just *get* each other

Then there are also times when I have to explain things even more than I do to neurotypicals and I'm just like dude you're supposed to understand me better than the boring brains

#im not complaining at all btw #i love my older brother #like one time he was watching desolation of smaug and asked if i wanted to watch it with him but i said i couldnt because i hadnt watched #but i said i couldn't bc i hadnt watched unexpected journey with him and he just UNDERSTOOD #then there are times i have to explain to him that No i Cant use the big silverware bc its Bad #(hes a big silverware lover) #autism #autistic siblings #actually autistic

Someone asked me yesterday what lead me to start looking in to autism in regards to myself. I couldn't quite remember at the time. But I remember now.

I started reading up about autism, in order to understand my younger sibling who's also autistic. They were diagnosed about 8 years ago, when we were younger. I saw their struggles over the years, and I realized I needed to understand more about autism in order to understand them. I ended up understanding myself.

"Marcille hates all of Laios' freak traits but loves them in Falin" is honestly a really good joke but... you guys do know it's a joke right?

It's such a funny one I honestly find it impossible to get mad at even when people mistake it for an actual truth about the characters but JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR

THIS is how marcille reacts when Falin is predictably just as enthusiastic about eating monsters as her brother was.

That is not the face of a woman who thinks this trait is lovely and endearing as long as it's exhibited by the girl she loves. That is the face of a woman who is taking 7d8 psychic damage and yet knows deep in her heart she won't like Falin any less for it.

The way young Marcille reacts to Falin eating berries Marcille can't recognize but Falin knows are safe is pretty similar to how she reacts to eating monsters years later, albeit with more fear than disgust. The difference in her relationships with Laios and Falin isn't just that she's attracted to Falin, it's because the Touden siblings, while similar, are in fact different people. Not just genderswaps of each other.

Also, I think you all already know this, but just to say it: she doesn't actually hate Laios for any of his freak tendencies either. He's one of her best friends. She's just a lot quicker to be outwardly exasperated with him while she's quieter about it with Falin.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #laios touden #marcille donato #dungeon meshi meta #again I cannot be mad at fanon jokes when they're actually funny #and also marcille absolutely DOES have different standards for the touden siblings #i'd argue the way she more easily argue with laios than falin is a) because falin is better at EXPLAINING her autistic swag #so after the initial freakout marcille can calm down. laios does NOT know how to do this #and b) because she DOES idealize falin. And so she takes this stuff in a 'well not even my beautiful angel darling can be perfect' way #though in the end their autistic swag is also a big part of what she appreciates in both of them #in different ways as i said but the oddities are part of why she's close with both of them!! that doesn't change the exasperation though!

being an adult means we can buy or make as much self-indulgent shit (as we can afford) and unironically have trinkets of our fave things cause our teen years was bullied for liking things and hiding/denying we were ever neurodivergent to the point of suicide. sucks for anyone that thinks its weird cringe but I'm going to try and allow myself to love myself in little ways now

#wish i could tell younger me that i wasnt fucked up i was just autistic #even if youre not nd i still think having things you enjoy around you is important especially for your space #so i make a notable effort to get fandom stuff for my younger siblings now #like my lil sister thinks getting demon slayer stuff is cringe cause anime and what not (havent read it sorry) #but her face still lights up when i get her a pin for her #or a blind bag with a character keychain #and very slowly the self hatred and whatever it feels like that youre not allowed to like anything and that anything you like is bad #starts to diminish #my qpp is obsessed with birds and chickens and has so many trinkets around the house for it #or my friend who loves how pretty stained glass looks that his walls are covered in thrifted stain glass pieces #i know an elderly couple who are obsessed with star trek and they have a room in the house purely for shelves stacked with collectables #my friend's dad is so obsessed with spiderman that he has 3 walls full of figurines and posters and collectables that prob amoutn to tons #like i dont get it but i get it #maybe its because im sick rn but im in my head tonight about human loving things and stories and cocepts to the point of comfort #sara shush #ramble

Happy disability pride to everyone whose disability makes it hard/impossible for them to leave the house.

Happy disability pride to everyone who WANTS to do something they love, but can't because of their disability.

Happy disability pride to everyone who has ever been ignored, side-eyed or scoffed at (or otherwise judged) for being themselves in public.

Happy disability pride to people in constant pain, that doesn't end or break.

Happy disability pride to people who can't/don't want an official diagnosis because it would fuck up their lives, but they need the accommodations anyway.

Happy disability pride to people who did get/have gotten/had to get a diagnosis, because they needed what came from it.

Happy disability pride to the under-represented disabilities that people don't talk about much, or that get ignored both online and IRL.

Happy disability pride to those whose disabilities get represented in ways that do not match your experience at all.

Happy disability pride to the physically and mentally disabled people who are reading this. If you are one, the other, or (more often) both, you are still a valid person who faces discrimination and hardship from ableists, and we must all band together to vouch for our rights- ALL of our rights.

Happy disability pride to all of you, I love you all, and may we get through this month, and all the rest, together.

#disability pride month #disability pride #actually disabled #I have both: #chronic pain #cane user #and also: #actually autistic #(I wanted those tags to come up so I formatted it weird. sorry) #I hope this reaches you #and makes you feel seen and loved and happy #at least a little bit #to me you are all my siblings and we need to ALL stand together to survive

Prompt 125

So. Apparently touching unknown artifacts is bad. Who would have thought. Not the Dannys that’s for sure. They had been distracted with their prank war after all. 

But uh, now they’re in a new world, with a black-haired child staring at them with borderline stars in his ice-blue eyes. 

Nine year old Bruce just saw some sort of portal open up (MAGIC?!), and drop some sort of really spherical eggs that hatched into what he’s pretty sure are some sort of raptors within two seconds. A trio of feathery raptors that he takes inside to show Alfred, who would be far more worried if not for it being the first time he’s seen Bruce smile in nearly a year. 

Well it seems they have a trio of sapient raptors. That can apparently breathe fire, ice, and electricity respectively. They can… totally deal with this. At least that robber didn’t lose their foot. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #their ghost forms got turned from humanoid to freaking ghost dinosaur things #they aren't too sure #Hilariously like Cujo they can go from chicken size to small car size #their sibling rivalry reared its head and now they're competing to be the best older sibling to Bruce #Ah yes Batman and his trio of raptor gods of course #They do regain their human forms... eventually it just takes a while for things to stabilize #Alfred and Bruce help them make fake IDs that have them as Bruce's half cousins #Eventually #For now the lil dino-loving autistic bby is in temporary heaven

this was gay as hell

this is the same person whose brother keeps using the word ‘slay’ without realizing he sounds like, completely hilarious

#autistic gay sibling explaing gay slang as a joke vs autistic little brother who picks up on the slang but doesn’t get that it’s gay

Part 1 of Ace! April + Best friend Dynamics - Next? Some context: April isn't very confident about being around people in canon. She's weird and badass, and while we love that, she thinks she's got to 'be normal' to be liked, and make friends. It reminded me of the Ace Experience, and how that'd add another layer to the slow acceptance that is herself. Enter Donnie.

#buckle up #here comes the dorky pals club for life dynamic #also heads up! this is kind of an apritello story? im aware some of you arent comfy with that. and thats fine! so just so you know #but it can be interpreted however you life. platonic or romantic I'm here for it #i just love their friendship #I dont see them as siblings btw #more like childhood friends #but shes totally part of the turtles family #April #rottmnt #donnie is autistic and april is an adhd'er #my art #april o'neil #april o'neil tmnt #rise april #rise donnie #donatello #april #donatello tmnt #donatello rottmnt #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt fanart #rottmnt comic #comic #comic strips #my artwork #tmnt #save rise of the tmnt #donatello rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles art

The dungeon meshi wiki is wild. I think we've found the only person in the fandom who thinks thosiro/falin is real and they somehow ended up writing the wiki.

Aside from the fact that the adventurer's bible and the postcanon comic of her rejecting him confirms she DIDN'T have feelings for him, the "intimate moment" it cites is this:

They were just gonna get dinner... Looking at Toshiro's embarassed face you can tell HE wanted it to be a romantic moment and is upset at Laios intruding, but Falin is just smiling. She has no clue this is supposed to be a date, she's like "Oh yay! Brother's gonna come too! Fun!"

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #toshiro nakamoto #falin is JUST as autistic as her brother she had no idea toshiro felt anything for her until he proposed and she asked him to wait #and toshiro's a bit of a gentleman he wouldn't have asked her out on a date if she still wanted time to think #so clearly this happened before that #the others can tell and are trying to stop laios but they are not the Autism Siblings so
