#mild autism

[snows-2am-thoughts]

Me: *nervous to tell my parents about my autism and ADHD diagnoses*

Me: Mom, Dad, I have ADHD and I'm autistic

Dad: Oh I know, sorry you get that from me

Me: what

Dad: Yeah both me and my brother are, though i like even numbers and he liked odd numbers

Me: MY NUMBER OBSSESSION CAME FROM YOU?? I COULDNT TALK UNLESS THE LETTERS OF MY SENTENCES ADDED UP TO AN EVEN NUMBER FOR YEARS

Dad: Yeah that happened to me too

Me: I COULDNT BLINK OR TAKE STEPS UNLESS THEY WERE EVEN NUMBERS

Dad: Yeah my brother and I would piss each other off because I would turn the light on and off 2 times and he would be bothered by it and do it another time then we would go back and forth

Mom: *silently wanting to tell us we're crazy but also all her kids are ADHD but have different dads so she stays quiet*

Me: no but seriously why never tell me if you knew i was also struggling with the same stuff as you

Dad: you were struggling?

Me: -_-

Having (mild) autism is like, yes I know, but I don't ALWAYS know.

Is it possible for someone's autism levels to change due to trauma? Like could a 1.5 go to a 2.5 after being kidnapped and tortured? I'm writing a story

texting someone happy birthday right at 12:00AM is the same as commenting FIRST!! on a YouTube video

#but like the good version #like if commenting first was Lawful Evil this is Lawful Good #it's the same in essence and idea yk #i over explain myself too much but that's probably just the #mild autism #do you guys ever think about the evolution of the usage of tumblrs hashtag feature #like how some people use it as an addendum onto a post so it doesn't get cluttered up #it throws me off on other sites bc i'm so used to doing hashtags wrong #anyway #love you goodnight #idk why i said that

lately, i've seen more people in the online autistic community acknowledging the struggles of people with higher support needs, which is of course an important development. but for some, that seems to come with the implicit assumption that low needs autistics "have it easy" or experience no stigma at all, which is just wrong??? people with low support needs are still disabled by their autism and still face discrimination because of it. sure, they are impaired to a lesser degree than those with higher support needs, but that doesn't mean you can just erase their struggles, y'know?

#sometimes i see posts that are like 'its unfair to say that autistic people have it easy and arent really disabled...' and go yes! exactly! #but then they'll continue like '...because not all autistic people have low support needs' #and i'm like. okay nevermind you dont understand this at all #i have comparatively mild autism (was diagnosed with aspergers back when that was still a thing) #and my autism has still significantly impacted and impaired my life #i think its important to acknowledge the huge range of experiences in the autistic community #and that many others have struggled much more than me #but that doesnt mean its all easy breezy for me and other lsn autistics yknow? #(i guess i would technically be considered medium support needs or something but that's because of my chronic illness not my autism) #i wish people would just. like. listen to other peoples experiences before just assuming that they know everything about their lives #ofc a huge part of this is also some lsn autistics distancing themselves from hsn people and pretending that they're not actually disabled #but not every lsn autistic is like that. and even the ones that are are usually (consciously or unconsciously) downplaying their symptoms #autism #actually autistic #actuallyautistic #this isn't really about the post i just reblogged btw it just reminded me of it #because some of the notes on it went in that direction

How about we NOT use people’s autism sensitivities as a prank???

Like, I noticed a weird smell in a room and asked where it was coming from, it was faint but im hyper sensitive to smells and my dad gets this grin and goes, “here it might be this! Smell it!” Sliding a bag of salt to me, And of course, I trust him and think its regular salt so i know what smell to expect to compare it to the one in the air and open the bag and take a sniff only to be ASSULTED with the EXTREMELY STRONG smell of Eukalyptus and nearly keel over gagging and retching because of how horrible it is while my dad just laughs his ass off like- that isnt funny!!!!

im honestly so fucked up over like graphs/maps/charts i will go on a news site and see a Similar Articles panel by the article and a part of me that is as serious as it is small will suggest making a Map of the damn news site.

Maybe this is a little relatable to other autistics but does anyone else have to really pay attention to how they act after watching a show/movie to make sure they're not like subconsciously masking and acting like the fictional character(s) in the thing you've watched.

I don't want to act like a fictional character, I just want to be myself.

wish i could cryptic vague post about my autism symptoms here but i know you fuckers reblog anything

me: today my skeleton wanted to burst out of my skin, my muscles burning from the weight of the atmosphere. in that moment i wanted nothing more than release, but my mouth couldn’t open to scream and my eyes couldn’t even open to see. i was trapped in my own body just growing more feverish by the second until i wanted to be free by any means necessary

yall: lmao me when ffood with no youtube

I think the thing that makes masking disability very complex is that often, masking is done to protect one's self, but you still don't know exactly how you'll be perceived by other people, and if you're safe in the ways you want to be. Something I've learned more and more is that... you often can't "fully mask" in the sense that there are certain blindspots you may miss. My flat, monotonous affect stems from autism, and while I can (and do) mask other traits, I can never mask that trait. But, the thing is that I don't detect that I am monotonous, and I only learned that because other people perceived me that way and actually told me. That's what I mean by masking only goes so far, often.

#disability #autism #for me the things that disable me are 'invisible' and in theory i could mask it #but that's the thing about theories... they don't always apply in the real world #this is not me saying that i have it worse but that i think this conversation is nuanced and can easily be different from person to person #i truly thought i DIDN'T have a monotonous voice around people i like. because i percoeved myself as more expressive... #...HOWEVER that isn't picked up on by other people #i think this is a mild example which feels a bit less personal so i'm willing to share it to Make A Point #again i'm not saying i've got the One And Only Experience Ever - just that masking is really nuanced and messy #and many people cannot mask ever and that brings its own unique challenges! and that's a conversation WORTH having too #but i leave it to people who actually have those experiences because while i follow no-masking people i still don't always Get It
