Welp.

Only took me several years of seeing Tumblr memes through osmosis to *finally* get on here lmaooooooo here I am though

you do not have to be functional to be worthy of love and existence as an autistic person. if you need assistance, you are worthy. if you don’t have a job, you are worthy. if you are not social, you are worthy.

you exist. you are a person. you are inherently worthy of life and love

BOSS FIGHT

Being a "that movie looks cool, but I need to read the book first" type of person has caused me to be severely behind on pop culture.

Comparing the adaptation to the source material is cool and all, but alas. Lack of time and mental energy (read: Neurodivergent Adulthood)

There is one (1) exception to this rule, and that is me becoming hyper-fixated on the series.

Exhibit A: me re-watching the entirety of Avatar the Last Airbender. AND starting Legend of Korra. AND starting the ATLA comics.

At roughly the same time

Looking at certain sellout "punk" bands who shamelessly used AI for their most recent album cover art *cough* The Offspring *cough*

Ok so I got to thinking and here's my pitch for an APD (auditory processing disorder) creature. Introducing.... the 'Huh?'

Idk just a thought

Me at work (grocery stores are sensory hell)

As an APD-haver who also enjoys hip-hop and grew up listening to the greats, I concur.

Don't lump it all in with the gangsta rap (that genre is usually the rap equivalent of pop music and is not to be treated as an example)

Do those people who say “I don’t like rap because of my auditory processing issues” know that they can look up lyrics? Do they know that they can enjoy the beat and the mixing and the cadence of the artist even if they can’t parse out what the words are quite yet? Like I know that it’s a way to try and absolve themselves of racism by playing the disability card, but like, as someone who also has auditory processing issues, you don’t need to understand every word on first listening to appreciate the musicality. And then there are very easy ways to learn the lyrics afterwards.

Hey, y'all! I made these today! I release them into the world to support the cause! They're sized for 8.5x11 printer paper. Take 'em. Print 'em. Post 'em EVERYWHERE.
