Autism Appreciation - Tumblr Posts
as some1 who discovered 1 day i literally couldn't learn past jnr high lvl and has morality ocd uh... THIS!
it is ableism to consider being unable to learn a concept--any concept--morally inferior. it is, fundamentally, ableism to see people who cannot read novels or theory or watch "serious adult" movies or participate in other forms of media consumption as less "good" than people who can. it is ableism to insist that it is aspirational to be intelligent.
if you see people who are unintelligent as lesser, in any way, that is ableist. hard pill to swallow for those who aren't developmentally disabled, i know. i don't want to coddle y'all about it anymore, though.
ok um. I wanted to do something for autism month (i might do something else other than this who knows) and my brain, instead of thinking of anything clever, went “AUTISTIC SWAG. THE GORLS WITH THE AUTISTIC SWAG” and before I had the chance to go “brain what the fuck does that even mean” I’d sketched a bunch of animated ladies I think are autistic wearing sunglasses with a color pallet I tried to make look like the autism flag. so. there. AUTISTIC SWAG.
my little autistic maynnnn his special interest is astronomyyyy
a wonderful world . . . 🎀
