one thing to remember though: non-romantic and non-sexual love is still very important, just generally, wether thats from your mom or your dog
(i said non-sexual get your head out of the gutter)
this is the official amatonormativity hatepost.
i hate amatonormativity.
im very uncomfterble with eye contact, people not getting split focus, etc. like im responding to what youre saying, what else do you want??? like dissasociating happens way more if im trying to focus directly on someone, like the chance for not hearing is WAY higher
If you tell someone to "look at me when I'm talking to you", I instantly assume you're a bully toward autistic people, because you are.
Unless they're actively focused on something else, you can't accurately assume someone isn't listening just because of where they're looking.
It's not a sign of "disrespect" to not make eye contact. And if you were taught that it is, unlearn it.

Hey guys?
adoption maybe? like im 90% sure my mom is some kind of aro/ace (she hasnt had a partner in like 10 years and isnt trying to) and shes done a bit of adoption help (was legal guardian of a teen until they turned 18, and still helps them from time-to-time)
Still, you dont have to have kids or be guardian to one to be "successfull" in life
i also HATE IT when people do quotes, parentheses, and emphises incorrectly "like: this"
i hate it when people are writing a long ass thing and start a parenthetical aside and forget to close parentheses it makes me feel like i cant escape from the sentence
you know when youre playing some game, and your friend has set up this hyper convuluted plan to get you, and then somebody in the convuluted plan just steps out of it, and your friend just gets super mad his plan didnt work
thats why trump got this mad when greenland didnt join.

Pro tip! If you're choking on an ice-cube, just drink boiling water to melt it!
ive always believed that every person has skills unique to them, that theyre supposed to use in society, but instead its demanded that everyone has these specific skills or you "failed in life". im convinced people who dont understand proper skill usage couldnt manage to fit the triangle block in the triangle hole.
Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.
what about the power to im bald, whats with that one
