To Everyone Who Needs Help And Is Out There Fighting The Good Fight, Happy Pride Month! Right Now, We

Just something that's always tricky to remember as an Autistic person. Especially one who tends to find I like stuff that most other people don't. Remember: randos on the Internet are not necessary for your happiness. Only you have control over that.

crazy thang is whenever someone makes a post talkng about how xyz thing annoys them someone will always go 'oh so we're not even allowed to do [thing] anymore??' like no you literally can. that person just will not like you. if that is enough to stop you then its not that youre not allowed its that you are not capable of existing outside of the approval of others

I went with the Minotaur Hug. Having hugged wookies and tree people at Disneyland, I know that a hug like that feels really good. And I always need that comfort.

fuck it I'm bringing back the poll meme from January

I normally don't post stuff like this on my page, but my family really needs help. My Dad put up this page on Go Fund Me to help with bills and everything with our family, since our grandfather is not long for this world. If anyone could help donate or spread this around, that would be super helpful. Thank you so much for reading this page.

Function is not the key to understanding a person as a person. Empathy is. Autistic people need help by having Allistic people listen to their individual needs. When you have met one Autistic person, you really have met only one Autistic person. We don't fit into categories all that well.

Okay, here's my first attempt at posting something on Tumblr. This is a Saiyan OC I made with some friends as part of a fanfic story. Her name is Kathryn "Katie" Wukong (Saiyan Birth Name: Punzi). Not the best art, but I am only now learning digital art, and I haven't practiced much in a year

I still have my Mickey Mouse plush from when I was two. And, my bookshelves are filled with comics, manga, and novels based on stuff like Disney movies. We all love what we love, and that's what makes us happy in life. No one should be judged for that.

just like.....the bizarre vitriolic hatred i see on here for autistic ppl who like "childish" things made for little kids is so frustrating and heartbreaking to me. allistics already hate us and infantilize us, so they see an autistic person who happen to like something "childish" and mock us for it.

but what really breaks my heart is seeing OTHER autistic ppl who think of themselves as being "better" than those who like "childish" things and make fun of them bc theyve been taught to hate by an ableist society. doesnt it get exhausting. doesnt it hurt inside to be full of the lies and hatred neurotypicals taught you. doesnt it hurt to take out that hatred on your fellow autistic ppl, to mock them for something that allistics already mock them for. why. why do you do this. who did this to you.

ABA is a policy that I definitely do not support. I have beaten myself up some days because I don’t feel “normal.” It still takes talking with my friends and family to realize that I am not supposed to be “normal.” I’m just supposed to be me. I am lucky to know several people who are willing to help me grow and develop my independence and skills rather than try to make me fit the mold.

Hello everyone,

I found an article from the Child Mind Institute that explains the controversies around ABA therapy. Here is a quick read of the article. The full article will be linked below:

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a therapy that helps kids with autism learn skills and lessen problematic behavior like hurting themselves. There are several different forms of ABA. All are based on the idea that reinforcing certain behaviors will lead kids to repeat those behaviors. Studies have shown that ABA is effective, but some parents and autistic self-advocates do not support its use.

One criticism of ABA is that the earliest version of it used punishments as well as rewards. Punishments are no longer used in ABA, but critics think it is still too hard on kids because it is so repetitive. Supporters argue that modern ABA is often much less repetitive and that practitioners are trained to make learning fun and interesting for the child.

Another criticism is that ABA is too focused on eliminating behaviors instead of building skills. Some practitioners agree that this can be a problem. They emphasize that therapy needs to focus on what kids should be doing, rather than what they shouldn’t be doing.

Finally, some autistic self-advocates say that ABA tries to make kids with autism fit neurotypical standards. They argue that autistic kids have different needs, so they shouldn’t be taught to look and act like neurotypical kids. Some of these advocates says that speech and language therapy is a more helpful way for autistic kids to build skills and independence.
