im reblogging bc ppl who say that is so stupid, like no i don't like being acutely aware of every noise and texture around me

very fascinated by people who think autism is some hip-happenin’ bandwagon thing to have suddenly when it didn’t ever make me cool in the slightest? it just made me able to hear lightbulbs and have panic attacks over trying to call people on the phone

shout out to people with spatial awareness issues. wishing you a "didn't bump into any table corners or walls" day today!

disability pride ask game

I'm so sleepy but I have persisted anyway bc i am so brave

feel free to reblog, try and send an ask to the person you're reblogging from so the game doesn't die, and absolutely never be pressured to answer anything that feels too personal--this is about/inspiration for what you Want to share about disability and experiences being disabled, not what you feel like you have to! (also: this ask game is PRO SELF DX.)

what disability/ies do you have? (and are they mental, physical, or both?)

how long have you known you're disabled? does that match up with diagnosis?

what, if any, disability aids do you use? (mobility aids, sensory aids, braces, communicative devices, IVs, etc. meds also count here). do you customize them/their containers/outsides?

do you know any disabled people irl? what about online?

if you have multiple disabilities: do they affect each other? how?

what's something good that's come out of being disabled?

what's a struggle you wish more people talked about?

does your disability affect how you experience other parts of your identity? (gender, queerness, culture, even hobbies/life goals you're very passionate about)

how do you measure your energy? (spoons, battery, something else?)

whats something youve come up with or integrated into your life that makes disability easier, besides typical aids?

how would you label your support needs?

what's something (a struggle, a symptom, a weird phenomenon, or even a funny experience) people don't realize about your disability?

whats the most Abled Person Thing someone has said to you?

has there ever been a time where you felt solidarity/community with another disabled person in a situation with you?

what does disability pride mean to you?

free space to talk about whatever disability issue or experience you want !

BWAH BWAH

RAAAAAAHHHHH

i am rebloging this because its so so annoying when ppl don't understand that it affects my entire LIFE.

"Not everything is about your autism."

Actually it is. My autism effects:

How I see the world, including light sensitivity

How I interact with the world, including difficulties with social interaction, speech difficulties and processing disorders

How I feel the world around me, including hyposensitivity or hypersensitivity to temperature, pain, or stimuli as well as proprioception which can make it difficult for me to physically navigate the world

How I feel my body, including interoception which can lead to missed meals, dehydration, and even urinary urgency (which is a problem just by itself) because I don't notice the signals my body gives

How I relate to those around me, due to my alexithymia, so often I feel nothing or can not work through the bodily sensations that indicate emotions.

How I cope with the world, including needing to stim, escape noises others may not hear, or requiring accommodations to help me survive an "average" day

How I rest after a normal day, including delayed sleep onset, reduced melatonin and increased cortisol, making getting to sleep a 2 hour long endeavour and staying asleep a task unto itself

So yes.

This is all about my autism.

ablebodied ppl will be like “i know you’re in constant excruciating pain but why are u so grumpy” and not hear themselves

the transition from SABM to TBAJD was so ouch

QUICK! PEOPLE WHO LIKE MUSICALS ABOUT 6 DEAD PEOPLE IN COMPETITION!

why is this so true sobbing

Across the top of the photo are the words: "*trying to explain my symptoms to the doctor*".

Beneath these words are the photo of half the body of a well, drawn horse and the other half of the horse the drawn crudely. Written on the well drawn horse side is the words, "what I was thinking." Written on the crudely drawn horse side are the words, "how I said it. "
