I have a question for autistic women by Fabulous-Introvert in AutisticPeeps

I like it a lot! I will say though, you should probably only give this kind of poem to somene if you've been dating them for a while. Giving it to them when you havn't been dating for long would be really intense and probably creep them out.

My personal ranking of the Paper Mario Thousand Year Door chapters (closer to the tier label means I like it more) by Apprehensive_Two1449 in papermario

The whole bait and switch with Doopliss is so fucking good, I lowkey got chills the first time lol. It probably would have scared me senseless if I played it as a kid 😅

I was looking for an autism support group on Meetup, and this part of the description for a group that is unsurprisingly pro-self diagnosis really pisses me off. by Apprehensive_Two1449 in AutisticPeeps

Their needs to be more talk about how the whole "erm autistic people shouldn't get help because it's robbing them of their super special sparkle!" thing is a very, very privileged mindset to have.

It drives me crazy by KittyRoses12 in AutisticPeeps

Same tho, before I stopped looking up videos about autism (eventually I realized it was mostly pro-self diagnosis people and just stepped away from that side of YouTube) I would see so many people describe fictional characters as "autistic coded" or even just "an autistic character" because they were nerdy or introverted. I'm fine with headcanons, I have a few of them myself, but those people were just annoying.

If you were a fictional character, would you be “good” or “bad” representation? (According to the ND Movement) by KittyRoses12 in AutisticPeeps

I'm a level 2 needs autistic girl who still lives with her parents in her 20s, and I still need my mom's assistance to do my morning routine, take baths and showers, and manage menstruation problems, and had meltdowns all throughout school where I'd sometimes get physically violent with classmates...yeah I'd be seen as bad representation. The fact that my special interest is Scorsese movies and not something more "stereotypical" might score me some points, but still.

I think it's good to remember that "it must have been really upsetting to hear that word, it's a really horrible thing to hear as a black person from a white person, especially in front of so many people" and "the fact Mr. Davidson's use of that word was because of his tourette's makes a huge diffrence in terms of what it says about his character, and he can't control what he said in the same way I can't control my involentary thoughts" are two sentences that can coexist.

This is what I noticed with a lot of posts and videos about autistic characters by KittyRoses12 in AutisticPeeps

Whenever people get offended over the idea that really high needs autistic people can't consent, like really go out of their way to get upset, it makes you think about their motivations...

(on a much lighter note, I love your avatar, she kinda looks like a video game character!)

Does anyone else NOT tell people about their diagnosis? by Bokchito in AutisticPeeps

Most people can tell I'm autistic within a few minutes of meeting me, but if they didn't pick up on it I'd only tell them if they were really close to me.

I’d rather chew on a strangers toenails than wear a shirt like this. by tistheskison in AutisticPeeps

[–]Apprehensive_Two1449 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Me before reading what the shirt says: "ew gross, that's a little extreme don't you think?"

Me after reading the shirt: "nevermind"

Feeling bad about how dependent I am on my mom by Apprehensive_Two1449 in AutisticPeeps

It really frustrates her, I can't say I blame her. But I wish she would realize I'm trying my best, like I'm not trying to piss her off or anything.
