You Do Not Have To Be Functional To Be Worthy Of Love And Existence As An Autistic Person. If You Need

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

I genuinely love when I see someone explain something I couldn’t myself and do it so accurately. I used to stim all the time by spinning for hours or jumping but once you get to a certain age you become “weird” and allistics say its something you should’ve “grown out of by now”. I wish I could stim so unbridled like I did before I was self aware.

i think the general public is a little confused ab stimming tbh bc they think of it as a specific set of actions instead of like. an emotional process. like an allistic person and i could do the exact same gesture and only one of us would b stimming bc. allistic don't feel the surge of . like pleasure? release of tension? that comes with stimming. like you know what i mean. w/ me, especially as a child, a big stim of mine was jumping up and down. and i would do it for literally hours. thump thump thump oh that's just my kid she's upstairs jumping. and any time i would be reading a book or watching a tv show and a "good part" came on, or a part with a lot of tension, or a big reveal, i would feel overwhelmingly compelled to jump up and down and make noises and weird faces to "get the excitement out"

and like the only reason i'm not like that now and i make less weird faces and grunting noises and big movements is bc i got it shamed out of me and now i'm so used to masking it's hard for me to stim in the comfort of my own apartment without feeling like i'm being watched. but i still stim in other ways and i think what's often overlooked is stimming has a pretty intense emotional/mental component to it.

When studies show that underage drinking is harmful, it's banned easily. But when studies show that spanking is harmful, it remains legal and parents still insist on doing it.

Age restrictions on purchasing cigarettes pass easily. But laws prohibiting smoking where children are forced to breathe in secondhand smoke are much harder to pass.

Children under a certain age are prohibited from using most social media websites. But adults are allowed to post videos of their children's meltdowns.

Teenagers need their parents' permission to get body modifications. But parents can get their babies' ears pierced.

Anyone who genuinely wants to protect children would not panic about the children's own choices while ignoring what adults force on them. Anyone who genuinely wants to protect children would not insist that studies on the dangers of children's own choices be fully trusted and obeyed while ignoring and arguing with studies on the dangers of how adults treat children.

But many adults just want to control children, not protect them.

if i see one more SA post after blocking anything related to it, i’m going to cook everyone who does that into a god damn stew. i’m going to put on my witch hat and start cackling in such dismay.

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

One of the more ridiculous things I saw recently online was someone trying to claim autistic people don’t experience ableism much because it’s a hidden disability. Then they blocked me when I said that making assumptions about the experiences of a disabled person is ableist in itself….

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons

in order to remove the sexual stigma placed on breasts, we must move past the act of shaming people who are brave enough to go topless in public. myself and another transfem friend went topless at our local pride parade not because we were trying to be "sexual" at pride, but to protest the idea that some chests are viewed as inherently sexual and illegal to be viewed publicly, while some are not. it's not a sexual act for someone with breasts to take their shirt off.

i did not have anyone give me rude or sexual comments. i received a lot of approving nods, thumbs up and polite compliments, people were even reminding me that that's the spirit of pride, and hoped that they were brave enough to do the same in the future.

sometimes it's nearly 100 degrees and people with breasts get dangerously overheated. sometimes people with breasts just don't want to wear a shirt. their breasts are not an object for you to get upset about. their breasts are not an object for you to make a moral argument about. their breasts are a part of their body, and they're not scarring or hurting anyone by existing, they are another organ on the human body and someone else's breasts are not up for you to debate about.

you ever look back at old photos of yourself and realize you’ve had such a glow up and how absolutely fucking embarrassing you were… then to realize that was only a YEAR AGO — when did time start moving so fast yet so slow? I swear 2020 was yesterday and 15 years ago.
