Nothing about us without us.  Image description: [pale purple and yellow background with dark text] This April, don’t support an organization that harms autistic people.

If an autistic person overexplains something to you they probably don't think you're dumb they just think THEY would appreciate those details if they were the ones being explained to

put in the tags:

whether you are neurodivergent (or starting to consider the possibility)

your exact score

anything you hate that wasn't on here

and the number one food you Will Not Eat.

no “two or more” because mama didn’t raise a centrist. choose the one that fits most

None of you like my spaghetti sauce but my hash browns are amazing

Fun fact: I’m autistic I’m gonna do a thing inspired by another person

Reblog if your blog is safe for autistic people or is ran by an autistic person!

oh and

Reblog if you stand against Autism Speaks!

I don't get why abled people are so,

Selfish

It's not hard or time consuming to be kind and accommodating to differently abled people. And I'm not just talking about the obvious wheelchair accessibility stuff. Even though you STILL haven't got that at all. I mean things like loud sounds, flashing lights, touching, words.

If you see someone wearing noise cancelling headphones at school, leave them alone. at a cafe? Leave them alone. Hell I wore noise cancelling headphones to a drag show! They are a useful tool to people sensitive to loud sounds. But when I first started utilising them I cannot tell you how many people seemed to take it as a personal offense. I'm not wearing them to ignore you or the scene I'm wearing them so I can be in that scene same as you. And NO you cannot wear them. Dont even touch them.

If you are creating a peice of media with flashing lights, a seizure warning at the beginning of the media, and in the advertisement isnt that hard and would save millions of people from having to search forever if they can enjoy that piece of media.

Touch. STOP TOUCHING PEOPLE!! You dont need to tap me to get my attention. You dont need to put your hands on me to get by me. If someone doesnt want to shake your hand or hug you, dont make it weird. Just move on. Dont be that guy.

If someone doesnt hear you the first time, dont get an attitude or get rude about it. Slow down your words, repeat yourself. Face them when you're talking to them. Dont be asshole. Really not that hard.

Stop being selfish and rude to us. Were just tryna fuckin exist and thrive same as you, we just do it a little differently. It's not hard to accommodate us in your lives and in your world.

My thoughts about Mass Effect 2 with a first time playthrough. (no spoilers tho this thread will contain spoilers as it is about stuff i'm doing in my playthrough and the big important missions) pt 2

So, in playing this, i have made multiple discoveries. 1. a gameplay feature is that is an enemies has shields, they are immune to biotic abilites, which i would really like because it forces me to do more then spam the same abilites and have a varied team... notice how i said would like it? the reason i don't completely like this is because the friendly ai is dumb.... not dumb as in "ooo its a bit dodgey" more dumb in the sense of, they will get stuck behind doors, unable to open them for themselves, or just stand in the way and not actually shoot. but I'm taking the good with the bad. 2. there are autistic people in this game, yaaaaay! this actually makes me pretty happy as i am autistic myself, so its nice to see a small bit of representation, just like Sandal from Dragon Age with his loving father. Also I do not like being unable to tell what is DLC and what isn't without just looking it up. on the plus side, it doesn't seem to matter what order i play the missions and DLC in. everywhere I've looked more or less says "do it however you want, its kinda its own disconnected story" which sucks, but makes sense Something i forgot to mention in the first part of this thing is that the way you look actually kinda impacts your character, which is fine. but if i want my face showing fully, i lose out on having a health or damage bonus. which kinda sucks but is fair. since the bonuses are very small. like 5% 3% 10% which is fine. buts its also just annoying. but an upside over that is the team you get. in ME1, all the characters were just kinda the same. they don't trust other species that much, they fucking get over it, yadda yadda yadda, we're all hero's. all of them were kinda the same good buy... Except Wrex, i liked Wrex. in this second one. everyone is vastly different. you have people that are loyal to a fault, people are just there because money, and people that want answers. and i love it. feels more alive strangely So... i went to the citadel finally (big alien and human hub world thing) and due to my actions in the first game which i won't get into as i already have spoiled a few things. the Citadel has covered up about the major threat from the first game and cleaned it from the history... okay, fair, that happens. but in this Citadel i can buy a model ship of the big bad that attacked in the first game... through a gift shop... i know its just a small collectible but still, if it was off the citadel, that would have made sense. also, one of the people i picked up in my crew of this game, called Jack... is a very well known criminal... and hopefully my Shepard's romantic partner. i also like bringing them with me on alot of shooty missions and missions without shooty things. its also kinda funny when i walk through a well populated area and people go "Shepard? the commander Shepard?... i thought she was dead? Its a ghost from the past" or something while Jack is on the side just "sup" XD also the mod count is now like 11-12... just to make things like romance more clear, and also unlocking every paragon (goodie) and Renegade (meanie) option. because while I'm nice to most npc's, there are some you just need to tell to fuck off, but due to how the game is, you can't do that. so i modded it so that you can. also, at this point, i'm loving how the 2 companions can work with me, something that happens alot and feels so cool every time is i'll use shockwave to send someone up to knock them down and then someone on my team will snipe them out the air. and sometimes Jack hits the shockwave and i snipe them. just soo god damn cool!

So this one is already off to a rocky start. as i'm using mods to better enhance my experiance, just trying to get a unofficial bug patch fix was already a challenge, I'm downloading everything from Nexus athe Unofficial community patch is 4 gbs big, it was a very slow download. every time i tried to download with the mod manager, it just crashed and broke at 2 gb's. too bad i couldn't just download 1 half and then the other half. thats not how mods work. following that, just getting used to how the game handles was also strange, i will admit i'm using an omni-key seperator mod which makes it so that instead of the space bar doing multiple actions, i can set each action its own key. onto the actual game, the story set up is nicely and we get a look into how things are different. (MAJOR SPOILERS COMING UP NOW) you die... and then you are brought back to life over 2 years of surgery by Cerberus. an organization from he first game that showed up for one mission and then fucked off. (END OF MAJOR SPOILER HERE) the game has 2 new hacking mini games which is a breath of fresh air as 1 is a memory game(i think this becomes easier the more you fail at it so there's no punishment for failing, which is alright) and the other is a match the image kinda game (however, the way its explained is extremely bad) there are also now some quicktime events to do depending on if you're a paragon (goodie) or a Renagade (baddie) and.... its never clear what they are going to do so probably best to get a quicksave before talking to anyone just in case. combat feels a bit more sluggish then the first game and kinda hard to see things. This game is alot more action heavy then the first one. i'm not exactly complaining about that but i did really like the first games handling of the RPG elements it had. i am still at the start of the game so i'll try and let ya know how that all goes tho.

Also i am using 8 mods at this time, the community patch (becasue it fixes alot of bugs and restores things, and corrects lighting in certain scenes), infinite sprint (because walking is too slow), screen shake remover (not as bad as ME1 but still bad enough), easy resource gathering (because i don't wanna have to grind all the shit), and weapon and armor stats (becasue thats easier then trying to work out things with words (or maybe they were actually there and i just missed it)) and a few others just to make my time a bit better. all in all, I'm very excited for this game, if only my wisdom teeth pain was gone so i could actually fucking enjoy the game now.

i breathe the same air as a neurotypical person

i also know Ryan Reynolds' exact measurements

for example

he is 6'2

he has 15 inch biceps (about 38 cenimeters)

LOOK AT THOSE MUSCLES

He weighs on average 170-190 pounds (about 77 - 86 kg)

His chest is114 cm (45 inches)

His waist is 81 cm (32 inches)

His shoe size: 10, 5 US (45 Eur)

His eyes are hazel

His hair is light brown

yeah

ok

so when he was 18 he left his canadian home -- told his dad he was getting gas across the border. He did get gas. then road tripped across the country to L.A where he told his acting agent he was an american citizen and eventually got a visa for extradinary talent and became a u.s citizen in 2018.

fun fact: when he came to L.A the doors of his Jeep explorer (?) were stolen.
