Just For ONCE, I’d Love To See A Story About An Canon Autistic Character Who Is COMPLEX.

*human is explaining earth sports*

Human: yeah and we really like to play catch. It’s almost known as a father-son bonding ritual.

Alien: what’s catch?

Human: well basically you have two or three players and you have a ball and you throw it around and then the person you throw it to catches it.

Alien: *loses shit*

Human: ????

Alien: YOU HAVE GAMES DEDICATED TO THROWING STUFF? AS CHILDREN??? IT TOOK US NO LESS THAN 5 MELLENIA TO LEARN THROWING TECHNIQUES AND ONLY A FEW OF THE MOST HIGHLY TRAINED INDIVIDUALS CAN EVEN ATTEMPT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT, AND THEY STILL ARENT GOOD AT IT! THROWING IS SO IMPRACTICAL! WHY DO YOU TORTURE YOUR YOUNG THIS WAY??

Human: *throws empty bottle into trash bin* KOBE!

Alien: *internally* what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

Based off the fact that humans are the only earthlings that can throw with great speed and accuracy (generally) it’s reasonable to also believe that not that many alien races also would be able to do this :)

If any of you think autistic people don’t have the capability of being powerful and scary, here’s a game

My friend Zack, me, and a few other people have a game we play in robotics when we have free time. Zack is blindfolded, he spins around for 30 seconds, and then he has to find us. (It’s like a quiet version of Marco Polo) The problem with this, however, is he has insanely good hearing, and he can tell where he is in the room by the sound of the vents. (The left side of the room has a vent that has a slightly higher pitched air flow than the one on the right, and only he and I can hear this.) So that, in combination with him being able to hear the sound of our breathing/any movement, he is scarily accurate.

The worst part? He is fucking insane. Whenever he hears someone, he lets loose a maniacal giggle and sprints to that person. There is no escaping, and it’s literally akin to some sort of horror game that’s rigged. (Imagine Outlast meets Five Nights at Freddy’s, and then you have to play hide or die.) The only person who has managed to beat him is me, and that’s because I was quiet enough until 10 seconds before the five minute timer went off, and then sprinted around the room until he ran into a chair and the alarm sounded.

TL;DR: My autistic friend has echolocation and is absolutely horrifying when playing a quieter version of Marco Polo.

It  costs  $0 dollars  to  not  make  fun  of Autistic  people

Male Interviewer: “One thing men should know about women, but don’t?”

Female Interviewee: “They should know that no means no.”

Just because someone didn’t say no,

🌸 doesn’t mean they asked for it 🌸

🌸 doesn’t make it consensual 🌸

🌸 doesn’t mean they were comfortable 🌸

Stop spreading victim-blaming mentality. It makes people less likely to reach out for help & less likely to recover.
