Weve Made Autism Into A Small Insignificant Personality Trait/identity Like Being Queer And Thats Actually

we’ve made autism into a small insignificant personality trait/identity like being queer and that’s actually so fucking wrong and insulting

37.9% of autistics have an intellectual disability

1/3rd of autistics are completely nonspeaking

most autistics will not be able to hold a job, go to college, or live on their own

autism rarely travels alone and has many medical comorbidities like epilepsy, mitochondrial disorders, and genetic disorders (which are the most common comorbidities - these aren’t rare complications.)

we can have discussions about autism and ableism and how society sees us without spreading misinformation.

autism is a lifelong, often debilitating neurodevelopmental and genetic disorder that affects how one communicates and interacts with the world. it is not “just being socially awkward” or feeling nervous in social situations. it is a neurological disability. start treating it like one.

I was looking through my WIPs and found this! I can see several mistakes in it, but you can feel the love ❤️❤️ I don’t know what Simon is saying, he just started telling Marcy something as he hugged her

“Don’t tell me we’re not so different, okay? We’re opposites, you and me!”

This guy is seriously my Roman Empire, I’m telling you, I got to like Sans Undertale levels of fixation with Tiffany.

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.

Rocky Rickaby stimboard! This is my first time making a stimboard, so I’m sure there are things I’ll want to change later. One reason why I love Rocky is the variety of textures, colors, and movements he would have? When I’m reading the comic, I get lost in the pictures of him with his shoes and tail and stuff, he’s really nice to look at and imagine.
