Autism - Tumblr Posts
oh so tumblr has decided to make me self aware today
āAh sorry Iām just dumbā (having ADHD my whole life has meant that Iāve been criticised heavily for making mistakes that come part and parcel with the condition. Even the people I love most in the world have chastised me for mistakes that I spend much of my life worrying about and trying to avoid. Itās much easier to tell you Iām just a silly guy than explain to you that no matter how much effort, how much thought, how much stress I put into avoiding these same mistakes, I will keep making them over and over again. My brain is structurally built to thwart me throughout it all.)
Hi Mr. Newall!!
I can't get this question out of my brain, and I would honestly really love to hear your opinion.
So, I'm autistic, and my special interest lies within storytelling--I love telling stories, consuming stories, and anything that has to do with a well-told story. Within my special interest, I have various hyperfixations; right now, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Magnus Archives, and Arcane are my big three.
I love collecting people's takes and opinions on these pieces of media, so my question is:
Have you watched Arcane on Netflix?
1a. If you have, who is your favorite character, and--if you'd humor me--why (as quantified by how they are written, their quality of voice-acting, their character arc, character design, something else entirely, etc., etc.)?
If you do have time to respond, I would be honored to hear a reply from someone as well-versed in the mechanisms of telling stories as yourself. If you never see this, I will be no worse for the wear, and I can't wait for the s1 finale of TMAGP!
Cheers :)
I have watched Arcane on Netflix and found it thoroughly excellent. 1a. Tough to say as the core cast are fabulous but probably Ekko. Reason: I spent some time studying the philosophy of "Obligation war and dissent" and found this character to be an excellent example of normally immoral behaviour becoming moral when contextualised in an immoral system. It's not often you see the young tag-along helper archetype become as developed and rounded as they end up, becoming a role model in their own right that actively challenges your protagonists in such a way. I am also a sucker for flying skateboards and artificer type aesthetics. I did have a soft spot for Victor's gothic vibes though and thought the costume/ prop design across the board was phenomenal.
Yeah. Love you guys.
Shout out to the autistic whoās abilities have regressed as theyāve gotten older.

In the last months i started listening to MSI, Jonny Urine is REALLY problematic (i Saw videos of his concerts, him dating a minor when he was almost 30, and even the video "personal Jesus" made me think how he isn't mentally stable). And i think the others of the band are ok btw.
Now i have to go do my homework because i havent start yet so... Bye (ā ļ½”ā ć»ā /ā /ā Īµā /ā /ā ć»ā ļ½”ā )
I wanted to set down my Danganronpa headcanons, then I realized, literally every character is autistic. Literally every one. Name a Danganronpa character that isn't autistic, you can't.
Please accept autism. Both children,teens,and adults.
This account is family friendly so if you're autistic welcome!ā¤š§”šššš

Tuesday April 11.
Autism Acceptance Month.
Today is Tuesday, April 11, which means we are eleven days into the 30 blessed days ofĀ #autism acceptance month, 2023 (previously known asĀ #autism awareness month). April is the month and April 2nd is the dayāWorld Autism Day, to be preciseāand these first weeks of spring are a time for uplifting autistic voices of all identities, advocating for acceptance, progress, and sharing in the community's joy. It began back in 1972, as National Autistic Childrenās Week, and was founded by TheĀ Autism SocietyĀ to raise awareness and campaign for change in communities, schools, medical facilities, and businesses. And this same vital, wonderful work continues today, and not just for the month of April, of courseābut every day of every year. The lived reality is that every day of every month is Autism Acceptance Month, and it is on all of us to do better.
Progress has been made, but there is still so much to be done in the struggle for equality and justice for all those living under the broad church of autism. And if these words sound hollow,Ā then simply read the moving story of Debra Vines, ofĀ The Answer Inc., and of her autistic son Jason. She articulates everyday struggles that families can face, and the many joys they experience, too. Her message is simple, but powerful: don't give up on milestones.Ā Ā
Want to know more, get involved, or donate? Here is just some of an impressive selection of charities sourced by the fine people at theĀ Applied Behavior Analysis Programs Guide, where you can find the complete list of 20 charities and organizations:
The Asperger/Autism Network
The Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network
Autism Research Institute
The Autistic Self Advocacy Network
The Autism National Committee

As someone who has High Functioning Autism, this is important to me and I saved this image to show people who don't understand.

Iāve been thinking of getting testing for an autism/ADHD diagnosis. I donāt want to self claim that I have these things though. I donāt think my parents would be open to it, since we have a more severe autism cousin in our family, and they think thatās the only autism there is. I really donāt think I have autism though. I would like a test. Does anyone have any like.. major signs you have adhd or autism or something?? Also I do have depression and anxiety(I was diagnosed) so would that be my main āoh I think I have this thingā signs when itās actually that?? Help Iām completely lost
my therapist: how are you feeling in the wake of your (autism spectrum disorder) diagnosis?
me: well it makes sense doesnāt it? i was the one who requested testing. like on some level i kind of figured.
my therapist: yes, iām personally glad we pursued it because it helps me better understand parts of your behavior and how to accommodate you. but how do you feel about it? you said before that you were in heavy denial about the possibility when you were younger.
me: well yeah, i had a preconceived idea of what autism was that i know now wasnāt true. but at the time it was distressing and i didnāt want to think about it too hard.
my therapist: how was it different then? what was your idea of autism then?
me: it was, you know, severe developmental delay. i never thought i had developed abnormally at all, so to try and match up the severity i associated with autism and the way i viewed myself, i just couldnāt.
my therapist: but you did.
me: sorry?
my therapist: you did develop abnormally. both socially and academically.
me: socially yes, but i had no problems with academics. i always especially excelled at reading comprehension, more so than anyone else in my grade. i started lagging in high school but i think that was a lot of burnout and depression and ptsd, probably. i was incredibly smart. hell, i spoke in full sentences earlier than most of my peers.
my therapist: violette, thatās still abnormal development.
me: ā¦huh?
my therapist: developing abnormally fast is still developing abnormally.
me:
me: oh.
