"If you're not sure, just ask someone."

Ah, yes. You see, you've now entered the space of my Autistic brain that requires further information to proceed.

Ask who?

Ask what? No. I need a script. Actually, I need a few scripts because what if they say this thing or this other thing? I need to be sure what to say.

And what if they do not know? So, I actually need to know if there is a chain of command on who I can ask.

What tone do I use? How much do I smile?

Do I joke? Or keep it serious?

And since they've now helped me, do I owe them anything? Yes, I know it's their job but that doesn't answer the question.

Just look it up on Google?

Ok... Well, now you've entered the-- where are you going?

I have a short fuse when it comes to things like this. They’ll be too loud or something and I’d snap and tell them to stop…

Being autistic can be tiring, but most of the time it's not the autism that tires me, it's living in an unaccommodating world that's exhausting.

the world if people knew the difference between making excuses and explaining

Low support needs autistic culture is not being believed when you say you lose control of yourself during meltdowns, and if you insist on it people accuse you of lying and punish you or say you have "severe autism" and start treating you like you're fucking five.

(Actually I'm not sure if this is just a low support needs thing or not, please correct me.)

i wanna say fuck you to anyone who shame disabled, chronically ill & neurodivergent people, especially homebound folks, for "spending too much time on their phone/on the internet/etc." when it's the only (Somewhat) accessible way for them to experience the world. many people don't get to get out much even if they want to because of their disabilities. shaming someone for trying to connect with the world, make friends and engage with hobbies in ways that are accessible to them is beyond cruel and unnecessary

doctor diagnosed me with oc sickness in the brain; the ocs will spin around in my brain forever and ever

Autism acceptance includes accepting all autistic manners of communication.

That means supporting autistic people who talk in a "very childish" way. (I do this a lot irl)

Autistic people who do "TV talking" (this means talking like a character from your favorite media,basically talking in quotes and copying their speech patterns,as far as I know)

Autistic people who use echolia.

Autistic people who are very awkward/quirky when they communicate.

Autistic people who are overly technical,or have very sophisticated and articulate speech.

Autistic people who mumble.

Autistic people who talk really fast.

Autistic people who can't control their tone of voice/inflection.

Autistic people who talk in a monotone voice.

Autistic people who use different kind of sounds,or body language to communicate.

Autistic people who talk slowly and draw out their syllables.

Autistic people who use a lot of sentance fillers.

Autistic people who use Aac devices,communication cards,etc etc.

Edit: acceptance of nonverbal autistics is also necessary. Nonverbal people deserve love,respect,acceptance,accommodation and support.

I don’t want to look at spoilers because I want to be surprised. But at the same time, I’d like to know what happens next.

I’m a walking contradiction.
