Autistic Community Of Tumblr I Call Upon You!

Autistic community of tumblr I call upon you!

I passed my whole life feeling like an alien, being left out etc. I was bullied during all time in school and friends groups left me and I didn’t understand why. I thought that all of these traits and my situation came from being traumatised but it didn’t sit right with me.

So, then came TikTok. I know, I know, it’s not the right way, but please read until the end. All the things that were described in the autism tag were very similar to experiences of mine. Being very sensitive to noises, doing random noises, not understanding social cues, being tone deaf, a lot of them intertwined with my life experience and difficulties.

I read papers and reflected on it for years. This year I met a bunch of neurodivergent people that encouraged me to get a diagnosis.

That’s when I talked about this with my mom and opened Pandora’s box.

My father was autistic (he’s dead now so no way to confront him) he was not diagnosed but he never wanted to but knew what it was because he was a doctor and autism apparently runs in my family (I had other autistic undiagnosed relatives).

So, because I was weird when I was little I got tested. Yeah, tested for autism.

And you know what? I was deemed as “having autistic traits but being too good functioning and having a genius personality, so no need for support”. What the fuck does that mean. Like what in the eugenetic bullshit does that mean. I know it was the early 2000s when autism was not seen as a spectrum so either I was non-verbal or was “ok” but what the fuck does that mean. I would take it as a diagnosis but I do not know genuinely how to take it.

So, any experienced autistic person has advice?

Secret about autistic people: a lot of times we don’t actually miss a social cue. We see it. We just decide to ignore it because we think it’s a stupid social cue.

my advice for not going insane? try to do something every weekend. go to events, you’ll love events. and not like just hang out with ur friends or go clubbing , no, make a day out of going to some local market by yourself or attend some strange convention event you’ve never heard of. i cannot stress the importance of doing random events on a friday night or saturday or a sunday at r pm for mentally ill people especially if you’re depressed and have been searching for an anchor 2 tether yourself to. attend some events now
