Text: I want you to know about… Autistic Shutdown
Autistic shutdown is like an internalized meltdown. While the person is experiencing a lot of emotions, they can’t express them outwardly.
It may look like this:
Zoning out
Exhaustion/falling asleep
Hiding/defensive position
How can allistic (non-autistic) folks help?
Safety first! Help them to a quiet space w minimal simuli
Be sensory sensible! Have a kit tailored to their need (eg ear defenders, stuffie or squishy and blanket)
Eliminate all expectations/demands. They are currently overloaded.
Reduce interaction, giving them time and space (shh..)
Remember:
Autistic shut-down is NOT stubborness, laziness or disrespect
Autistic shut-down IS involuntary, painful, exhausting Please be patient and compassionate.

Every time i see a post or tweet about twilight being gay culture or hilarious I just think about how the Quileute tribe of Washington had to set up a website specifically to combat racist misinformation that was being spread about their history and customs by stephenie meyer. Like she really just took an existing group of people with millennia of actual history and an actual mythos and culture and then just made shit up to fit her sexy mormon abstinence only tract
