ITS AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH BITCHES
HAPPY AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH TO ALL MY FELLOW AUTISTIC PEEPS!!!! I plan on making some art work for this month, but idk when it’ll be done, so hang tight.
To celebrate this wonderful month here’s some educational fun facts!
(1) While the puzzle piece is the most common symbol for autism, it is actually preferred by the community to use a rainbow or golden infinity sign, due to the ableist history of the puzzle piece. Namely, it was popularized by Autism Speaks, which is an ableist company whose views are extremely harmful to the community (I won’t get into it here, but it’s BAD)
(2) The Autism spectrum isn’t linear. There isn’t a “more” or “less” autistic, as there are so many facets to autism that vary person to person. The spectrum is more like a color wheel, with each color representing a different trait (eg, sensory, social, memory, motor, etc). The idea that there is a linear spectrum is mostly based on the “how well can you mask your traits so they don’t affect other people” mindset. (One person may struggle more with motor but not social, while another struggles with sensory but not motor, etc)
(3) AFAB people are frequently under/misdiagnosed. Because their traits present differently from boys (who were the only people studied in most autism studies, especially the ones that made the diagnostic criteria) their traits are often missed. Oftentimes, they are diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, AVPD, anxiety, or even eating disorders, and have to self advocate for a diagnosis to be pursued. I myself wasn’t diagnosed until I was a teenager (after over a year of personal research and self advocacy) while my brother was diagnosed at 5.
That’s all for now! Happy Autism Acceptance Month and have a great day!

Made a symbol edit for autistic people who love Stardew Valley like I do. This is how I subtly came out as autistic on my Facebook to my family.

You're not Eve! Open your eyes, Langa!
inspired by an interview with the voice actors in skaters' backstage where chiaki kobayashi (langa) thought this might be how season 1 would end

I’m not surprised with what is going on with a lot of shows on HBO Max. And to be frankly honest, none of us should be. The agenda of streaming services is an ugly reflection from the mirror of cable television. Content is more disposable than ever before, especially with the lack of relevance of DVDs. Essentially, a creator’s entitlement to their own work is ambiguous at best and there is almost no where else they can publish it. This has been known about for a fairly long time. It is in our best interest to cancel streaming subscriptions and directly support content creators if we can.
