Shoutout to neurodivergents who were punished or marked down in assignments for using too complex language, and also shoutout to neurodivergents who were punished or marked down in assignments for using too simple language, and also shout out to neurodivergents who were punished for both of these depending on the most recent way they fucked up

Recently it occurred to me that when I want to show Mum something, I can take a video on my phone and send it!

Ever since I had the realisation that I can use WhatsApp or text messages to tell Mum things, I have been able to say so much more to her. And now I can add videos to the collection of communication options!

Of course it still does not always occur to me that I have the opportunity to communicate, at all. Some days I forget I can reach other people at all. I am so far deep in my own world that I don't have this awareness. And I most often simply don't have the words, therefore can't say anything at all even if I want to.

But I am so proud of the improvement I have made! My new AAC also helps a lot, very much. And thank goodness for WhatsApp existence!!

Words never stop being hard - it is a constant fight to get anything out, and an uphill battle to hold onto the skills I have in this area, to not lose it to regression. But I fight and fight and fight. And keep on fighting.

Don’t watch my grammar. Don’t watch how spell. Don’t comment on it either

I piss myself. I can’t communicate basic things like hungry or tired or sick. If not told to and help start, will go days weeks not wash self or clean room or leave house

I don’t care if spell something wrong. Don’t care If use wrong word form (like use your instead of you’re. Say that for specific reason).

Get a hobby but that doesn’t include watching how someone with a fucking disability that affects skills like that writes

Is it an American autism/ND thing to understand non fluent English speakers better than fully fluent speakers, while also struggling to process and/or speak it yourself despite being a fluent speaker?

For example, I had a brief conversation with a customer at my work about our different items on the menu. Their English was very broken and I wasn’t able to understand them at the speaker (our speaker is old and busted) until they pulled up to my window, and then I could understand them perfectly. I have a lisp when I speak and explained all the different items we have the best I could, and they seemed very happy that I was eager to help them and understood what they were trying to say. A couple of my coworkers got annoyed that it was taking so long and complained about the customer, but it was actually both of us struggling to help each other that made it take so long, and I apologized on the customer’s behalf because it takes me longer to process speech and audio feedback (gotta love having cAPD too).

On the other hand, when I have average conversations with neurotypicals who are fluent and have lived here since their ancestors from the 1400s (mine arrived in the late 1700s-early 1800s), I often struggle to understand and respond even though I’ve known the language since I was a baby, and I’m hyperlexic.

For me personally, I think I can understand non fluent speakers better because their dialect and speech patterns cater to my autistic brain better than fluent speakers, and I somewhat understand how hard it is to process or speak it.

Is this a common autism/ND thing? And does this happen to autistics who speak other languages?

having an expressive-receptive language disorder is so infuriating in this world it's like. i understand the language of bodies and faces and eyes, of music, of shape and color and art and motion, of the wind and the world and the stars. i can understand the information you're telling me but not from you and your words. my mother tongue is the way the sound of a table being set echoes around the room and fills the space, the only tongue we all share, when it was meant to be the most spoken language in the world. i am so smart in my mother tongue but you cannot speak it well, and i have learned that i need to be the one to speak yours or i lose my chance to live, so i love words intimately from my years spending hours learning each one; i am a linguist who cannot read or write. i hate words as they are the tool wielded against me, the invention of the majority that i cannot use, but words are my lovers, they've become my dearest companions that very few people will have the same relationship with. in order to have someone know that i cannot use their mother tongue, i must speak their mother tongue. the more i use theirs the more i lose mine, but mine is what made me fall in love with living and to live i must use theirs, and even when necessary i cannot cannot cannot unless i use up all my energy for it and then continue to overdraw. and despite it all i love your mother tongue, because in spoken language i am easily able to understand my human friends, i can read them as i've learned over years years years YEARS how their language presents itself in mine. but should i try to come up with a way to show my experiences, i must speak in your tongue, and unlike the bank i know to draw from with my friends, the words are not there. so i simply read my mother tongue whenever i can, watching the light pass along the walls and falling in love with the way the wheels move along the train tracks in a way i can't share the way my loved ones can with me. why must i speak when everything is written out in front of you already. why must i speak your tongue when you won't speak mine. everything i say will be a shadow of what i mean.

hate it when ppl say that language disability dont mean anything

have both receptive and expressive

means have hard time understanding new words, learning new words, connecting new words to concepts, saying words, recalling words, putting words in right order, spelling words correctly, etc.

ofc i would have trouble with new pronouns

i am not "hypothetical"

i am right here and /begging/ for accomodations only to be brush aside as ableist or transphobic bc "no one actually like that, stop using disabled ppl"

not saying have to use he/she/they/it. can use name or aptnouns or any other thing

btw i use neos too before anyone tries to say something

Idk which youtuber told you guys that self-diagnosis was bad but being aware of yourself and your struggles is like, a good thing actually. You don't need a doctor's opinion to start putting yourself first. The concern over 'overdiagnosis' is bullshit; it turns out I was UNDERdiagnosing myself and I have every developmental neurodivergency. All of them. Like God's Bethesda oc with all the sliders on it. This isn't rare, my complexity is because neurodiversity naturally co-occurs on different levels. So if someone says they have dyslexia dyspraxia autism adhd dld ocd bpd ptsd did ect. Yeah I think they can have that and that's based actually.

Thought processing disorder is my life. I have a lot of good shit in my mind but when I try to articulate it with words it comes out like garbage. So when I try to have an intelligent conversation I sound stupid and\or crazy.

When I write my entries I have to try extra hard to articulate everything. It's not as hard as speaking. Even with speech classes it's still difficult.

It's kind of like English is my second language. I joke that my first language was Alien. It probably was because I had words or names for stuff as a kid. Idk or care much about how or why but I feel stupid all the time without having something written or prepared.

Using the internet and technology with high needs autism

I have been trying to put this into words for a while, but due to the exact thing I am making the post about, it has been very difficult.

First of all, a short (ish - I am not the best at concise) background of me and technology: Used to play games on dad's phone, and later watch YouTube videos on family tablet (with parent restrictions). However, ability to navigate devices was very limited, and if something went wrong I just panic and give to an adult.

We used computers a bit in school for work and educational games. Every time we went to the "computer area" I would cry because I knew I wouldn't be able to find the webpage on my own, or sign in to something, or type in a word document. At these times in school, usually another pupil would just sigh loudly and then come and do the computer thing for me over my shoulder.

I had an MP3 player that I got for I think my 8 or 9th birthday. The only thing I knew how to do, was play music and google search. But I still didn't really understand what a "link" was, or how to find important information. We were supposed to learn online research skills in school, but nobody ever explained the most simple stuff to me, so I lack the basic knowledge.

I got my first phone at age 10. This was when I also first get Instagram, my first social media (parents set up for me). I was in a group chat for my school year, but the only time I put a message there is when mum asked me to ask a question, about a non-uniform day for example. Nobody interacted with me in there, and apart from the messages I don't know how to navigate the app. I posted a few pictures a few times, but only when someone else recommended, and I didn't interact online.

I have poor language comprehension, slow processing and take longer to learn new skills. My computer skills and especially typing skills are majorly behind my peers. I have slowly learned some skills allowing me to be even on Tumblr in the first place, but I still need a lot of support and it makes me very anxious. Part of my difficultly on social media, is the social interacting part. Mostly due to low interest.

But my biggest challenge is poor comprehension. I get very anxious and upset when I come onto Tumblr and all the posts I try to read don't make sense to me. Especially when the post is about a topic I care about - if I read it and I can't know what people mean, then I will just be very upset for the rest of the day.

Second biggest challenge, not being able to express opinions on important topics. Often, I can't even understand something. Then, I can't form an opinion because it's too complex. Or, I have an opinion, but I don't understand if someone agree or disagree with me from what they write.

I work so hard to gain skills and learn enough to even be here, and then all I can find about people like me is other people arguing about our existence. Want to express my frustration at this. To even write this post I had support from mum, and it takes all my mental energy.

It is true that I have low interest in socialising - direct impact of autism. So social media maybe not best place in the world for me, by default. But I still want to understand and be included. Not be treated like place to just ask "am I counting as high support needs". I don't understand even my own needs enough to answer this for myself - I definitely can't answer for anyone else.

A lot of my challenges, come direct from autism. That's just a fact. Wish it was easier, very often. But also wish it was easier online - I can't be part of outside community, only online.

I post here to express thoughts and feelings, that is also just what this post is doing. I did less big big edit on my words this time, wanted words to be closest to how I think it (don't think in words so not possible to show abstract thoughts direct, but closest to first translation).

Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to understand, speak, read, or write due to damage to the brain’s language areas. It usually traces back to stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other brain conditions such as tumors or infections. Aphasia can be distressing and significantly impact a person’s communication skills and daily functioning.
