Autism Acceptance Month 2k20: Autistic Headcanons

I love videos of people performing religious ceremonies for small animals. Especially if it’s not something a small animal could participate in theologically.

me saying I can’t control my volume bc I’m autistic and ppl being like “okay well no matter what some people might view your loudness as aggression especially if they have triggers.”

babes I’m well aware that being autistic affects the way people perceive me in ways that are detrimental & socially isolating LMAO you don’t need to explain that to me. i say that with empathy & understanding to people who can’t be around loudness genuinely but it’s so funny to be like “I have an autistic trait I cannot control that doesn’t align with social politeness” and ppl saying “okay well I hope you know some people won’t like you.”

YEAH!!!!

babygirl ur upset stomach is cuz chemical reaction of food in yo belly created 8 demon chariot riders and they rode off each into one cardinal + intercardinal direction to go light beacons in nightmare towers etcetera

Most people don’t understand how easy and common it is to develop psychotic symptoms or that everyone literally everyone has the capacity to experience psychosis

In fact if you’ve ever been sleep deprived including being able to sleep in shorter bursts but unable to get several REM cycles or you use substances to cause sedation rather than sleep you’ve likely experienced mild hallucinations already

They’re called disturbances. The things like thinking you heard someone call your name, feeling crawling sensation on your skin briefly, seeing things move in your peripheral but nothings there when you look.

This is (one of the reasons) why I really hate the “I’m [anxious/ADHD/depressed/etc.] not crazy!” The divide you draw between yourself and people with psychosis and psychotic symptoms only serves to harm. Not only those you alienate but also yourself. Because you have no guarantee that you will not join us one day.

We are all several nights of poor or no sleep and several bad things away from psychosis. It serves no one to be ignorant of it.

Things that make me (autistic and goth) a vampire:

Sun? No, thank you. Instant kill.

Counting everything. Please don't throw rice at me.

Invite me directly. "You're always invited". No, I have to stand at your door and you have to say "Come in", else I can't physically enter.

Did someone eat garlic like 5 days ago? I can tell.

You don't want to be informed for three hours about the different sounds bats make?

Black cloths. Everything else is too overstimulating.

Very formal and rigid way of speaking and behaving, almost like a dark lord in 1894.

I was just thumbing through this book on Amazon's preview function out of curiosity and. Asperger's in remission
