ABA Survivor Here.

ABA Survivor here.

I got CPTSD from ABA alone. This is the reason why I don't remember from my childhood. It's been proven that it causes Trauma.

And to add I basically become a "People pleaser" where I basically don't argue at all and let my self be stomped over due to my ABA trauma. And if you still believe it's "Not traumatic" then read this. https://therapistndc.org/aba-therapy-and-ptsd/

Therapist Neurodiversity Collective

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Therapist Neurodiversity Collective advocates for trauma-informed, respectful, research-based alternatives to ABA behavior management.

Sorry if i overexplained

Every day we're learning more about autism, and every day more and more autistic people are being public about their autistic experiences. This is helping people recognize autism in themselves at much higher numbers than before.

More people getting diagnosed is a good thing, not a bad thing.

To this day, many intersex people are mutilated as infants or toddlers.

From malevolent attempts to make their bodies more visually appealing to completely forcing them into a male/female binary.

Please do not just use our suffering as a 'gotcha' moment to own TERFS and other fascists. Please do not forget about us.

Edit: Also, not all parents know what is done to their child. Sometimes, they are lied to, and they are told that the surgery is necessary or even life-saving. Sometimes they are left completely oblivious, like in my case.

Having your child under the care of female staff/doctors does NOT matter. The surgeon who decided to operate on me was female.

For better readability:

Sometimes they can't wait to clip your wings.

I was two days old.

I was supposed to be a moth.

Instead I had to be pretty.

I seek healing.

I denied the false cocoon.

I'd rather be a clipped moth than a forced butterfly.

I sadly do not know how to properly ID something. Other users have reblogged with IDs however, thank you for your work.

pew pew scifi for a change

new intro post because the old one was a mess. Putting the entire thing below the cut for convenience. you should read all of it because it’s still a mess, just less of one.

Sup folks, it’s the system x.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for an important announcement:

We are currently supporting a gofund me for Sera, an agoraphobic indigenous Kanienʼkehá:ka (Mohawk) mixed lesbian to access life saving treatment after a car accident. She needs a series of treatments and challenging surgeries that will remove small metal shards near vital organs and bones in her body, and is asking for 75,000 (seventy-five thousand) dollars. Currently the fundraiser is stalled at just under six thousand. Please please donate if you can.

Anyone who donates will receive a free art request from me, equivalent in quality to my usual commissions. But Neth, you say, you don’t do commissions! That’s right! My online commissions have been closed because I haven’t had anywhere for the money to go. But now I do! So commissions are open!

I’m working on a full commission sheet (usually someone tells me what they want and I give them an estimate) but for now, know that any amount of money donated will get you something of your choosing and 40+ dollars will give you a full body w/ color, shading, and five revisions. That’s right! Dirt fucking cheap, I’m taking 35 dollars off my usual price, just for this! Extra characters are +50% each and I’m happy to draw NSFW (gore + sex), although obviously that costs extra.

Donate to Help Sera Access Life-Saving Treatments, organized by Erika Gordon

My name is Sera, you may not know me but you know my past work behind the scenes … Erika Gordon needs your support for Help Sera Access Life

Go to @transmechanicus and read their pinned info for more information. (Sorry for the ping 😅)

Annddd back to it!

Find pronouns in our alter list. Please respect our pronouns.

This blog is run by the Neth’s primarily, but

You can find our alter list/system intro/collective pronouns here. In general we use both plural and singular pronouns interchangeably, we’d like you to do the same. It’s pretty out of date (a lot of alters aren’t on there) but for the alters that are on there it is accurate. (Unless of course you are referring to a specific alter)

There has been some recent shenanigans with who is host, please click here for an update/explanation from the wonderful x.

From now on we will all be using sign offs. Those will simply be -[name] If we do not sign off then we don’t know who is fronting and we would request that you not ask, unless we are close. In dm’s/comments/ reblog chains we’ll sign off the first message and then talk as normal.

We have a tendency to use the different alter blogs to talk to ourselves. As of now the blogs are @curlyhaired-nico (Nico) and @vix-the-shift (Vixen) @alex-loves-cows (Alex) and this blog.

Interacting with me: (✅=yes!!!, ❌=no, ⚠️=if i’ve talked to you or followed you for more than a week) (thing THEN whether im chill with it. ex: being mean ❌) Nicknames ✅ Pet names ✅ Terms of endearment ✅ Asks ✅ Dms ⚠️ Spam interactions ✅ Comments ✅ Vents ⚠️ Asking about DID/other alters ✅ Directly interacting with other alters/Addressing asks to other alters✅ Compliments✅ Physical affection✅ Fake claiming ❌ Being rude ❌ Bigotry❌ Syscourse (we have our own problems - proendo)❌ Tags ✅ Tag games⚠️ Chain asks (likely won’t answer/continue) ⚠️ Post requests ✅ Ask games✅ mutual aid requests❌ untagged vents❌ asking for advice ✅ asking for comfort/compliments/affection✅

We don’t know our age so you don’t get to either. Alter range is from 3-72, do with that what you will.

I live on reblogs. Please reblog.

Usually there will be another alter trailing behind apologizing lmao.
