Banesberry-anomoly - 『Running On Spite』

We are in the midst of autism acceptance and pride month, so here are some friendly reminders…

To Neurotypicals/Allistics:

-We are not children unless were are literally under 16. Don’t treat a 40 year old as a child unless and until it’s shown that they need that as an accommodation.

-“Autistic Person” is usually preferable to “Person with autism”. The latter was introduced to autistic folk by NTs. Also the sentence structure is fucked up.

-Autistic people don’t need cures!!!! We are very very cool and nice. Do not attempt to defend eugenics or ABA or anything of that variety.

-ND (especially autistic and ADHD) people do something called stimming. It’s any sort of action performed as an outlet for energy and/or a form of mental and physical stimulation.

-We are very swaggy, just acknowledge and celebrate our differences :)

To my fellow autistic peeps:

-Do not feel guilty for needing accommodations.

-Your special interest is awesome, love what you love.

-It’s okay to tell a person that your social battery runs out. If they get mad, then they probably don’t respect your boundaries.

-Your experiences are valid, nobody dictates whether you’re “really” autistic.

-You are not a burden.

Happy autism acceptance!

why did my neighbors name their wifi network this

TRANS GUY FEMBOY SUPREMACY

I don't mean this in a rude way, but what's the point of being very femme presenting and asking for people to use he/him pronouns for you?

What the fuck does this mean lol "what's the point" it's my gender and I get to choose the pronouns homie. I get to be a little gender freak if I want. Pronouns do not correlate to presentation, sorry you're not on my advanced gender level

Autism Acceptance Month is soon !!! It’s normally flooded with misinformation from neurotypicals, so here’s a basic run through on what you should know-

-Use the puzzle piece symbol

-‘Light it up blue”

-Refer to autism as something that needs to be cured

-Listen to allistics over autistics

-Support ABA therapy

-Use words like “high-functioning,” “low-functioning,” “Aspergers,” and “differently abled”

DO-

-Support autistic run organizations (awn, aim, a4a)

-‘Light it up red’ (supporting autism acceptance) or ‘Light it up gold’ (supporting women and nb autistics)

-Use the rainbow or golden infinity symbol !!

-Be open minded !!!

-Recognize autism as a spectrum, not a line !!

-Support autistic people, not just mothers of autistic people
