autism – 🍓🧀 (archive)

kafukafuura1917:

On one hand there might be a higher-than-average percentage of autistic people among trans women, on the other hand I’m not thrilled for neurotypical cis people researching any correlation that might exist before they learn to discuss autistic and trans people in a way that isn’t the most dehumanising shit imaginable. In my opinion.

I really hate it when parents of autistic kids use phrases like “I know they’re in there.” Bitch they’re right in front of you! You haven’t lost them! They’re not locked away like a final boss in a video game!! This is your child As Is! Love them for who they are not what you wish they would be! Fuck!

OP you are right and you should say it 👍

People on Tumblr: Bullying autistic people is wrong. I don’t know who would do something like this.

Also People on Tumblr:

*makes fun of users who don’t recognise fake/prank news articles*

*makes fun of users who can’t spot sarcasm in writing*

*makes fun of users with ‘cringey’ interests*

*makes fun of users who write or phrase things oddly*

*makes fun of users who treat jokes seriously*

*makes fun users who post obsessively about the same thing*

*makes fun of users for the exact same autistic traits autistic people are bullied for offline all the time*

Enough with the “Autistic with a hidden talent” stereotype.

I get why Allistics thought it was a good idea. Maybe they meant to say “just because you’re Autistic doesn’t mean you can’t have skills, look at Rain Man!”

I’m sorry, as an Autistic person I have license to say that it completely backfired.

You’re not saying “Autistic people can be smart” any more.

You’re saying “Autistic people owe us some sort of super talented to exist.”

Autistic people do not need to be geniuses to be valid (and I’m a top student myself, but I can still see the problem in this). Autistic people do not need to prove themselves to be extraordinary, or “work twice as hard” to get basic respect.

Autistic people do not need to be extremely talented in order to be appreciated, pass it on.

Weird behavior is not okay because we’re autistic! It’s okay because it’s harmless! If an NT wants to flap or carry a teddy bear or wear ear defenders, they can have at! We need to break down the system that suggests harmless deviation from the norm is wrong, not excuse specific deviations!

[Image description: Drake meme. Top text reads: “it’s okay because they’re autistic.” Bottom text reads: “It’s okay because it doesn’t hurt anyone. Also, unrelated, they’re autistic.”]
