Admiral Meilooran and Captain Jogan taking down ISD (3 ABY colorized)
here’s my second video which killed me and took my soul so i hope u enjoy it
once again, the time for jokes, people,
This fact that I have learned is amazing! It definitely makes me feel better about me. I don't have autism but I have tourrets which can be on the autistic scale and I have ADD and I am asexual! So thank you Gaud for being you and being this amazing blog for people to come to.
hey i've been going through your #actuallyautistic tag and damn you really out here being an autistic icon. i've got ADHD and OCD and the similarities between us (even though I don't know you, really) make me feel...warm. (not as isolated/alone? not sure what the word i'm trying to use here is.) plz don't stop being so unabashedly yourself bc u inspire me + more people to embrace themselves. thank u gaud for being pretty epic.
solidarity!
ADHD/ADD is often co-morbid with autism to the point that for a lot of people on the autism spectrum an ADD diagnosis is redundant. both my siblings have ADD and i was also diagnosed w/ it before my autism diagnosis–lots of overlap. i’ve never qualified as on the OCD, but i certainly struggled with a lot of those issues when I was younger.
i’ve found that most of my followers are neurodiverse in some ways–we have a lot in common. cheers for solidarity among the neurodiverse community! also a cool fact: autistic people are much more likely to be a-spec! I’m aromantic and a huge amount of my earliest tumblr friends & mutuals (same difference) are ace or demi.
this blog will always owe a lot to the incredible ace and aro communities on this site. give a shout out to your local neurodiverse & a-spec folks <3
Hey guys,
I’ll make this short. Today a racist idiot burned our car completely. It can only be sold for scrap because the motor, brain and sensors are fried.
We’re a family of black latine immigrants. we did not get any stimulus checks. I was forced to drop out cause I can’t pay for college so I’m using my shop to sustain my family, and without a car this is just so, so much more difficult.
I beg of you. If you’ve ever used these:
Please. please consider boosting and/or donating. I’m in complete shambles over this.
Thank you ♥
tony: hey, kid. you ok?
peter, vibrating on the spot: i must join my comrades in the area 51 raid. join me, mr stark, and together we will unearth the aliens.
tony, scared shitless: you've literally been to space.
Can I use you as a weighted blanket to help me deal w/ my autisim and touch starvation?
*flattens myself like a pancake and just fucking flings myself onto you*
Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.
As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.
