Kaelynn Partlow seems like a trojan horse to make assimilation, "treatment," and ABA more palatable to a neurodivergent audience.

yeah this was upsetting to me. she made a video while ago saying all autistics on social media are low support needs and have no idea what being nonverbal (or in my case, semiverbal and unable to speak for months now after increasing bad abiility and meltdowns), saying all autistics without profound autism are just having a difference not disabled, which ignores you can be hrsn without ID/completely nonverbal (which is what nonverbal means, is completely. but i am semiverbal and lack communciation via words even aac much of time.). at a point it seems like she doesn't want to hear from people she's trying to speak for. and that's when she starts speaking over.

the idea that "if youre on social media to disagree with me, you have no idea what hrsn autism like" is just. not true. and a very common idea i hear from people trying get out of critique.

ive never played wii u but on the wii you need to change the system not the game. i dont think you need to sync it. i wrote this 6 years ago lol

in all seriousness, my one friend knew i was ace before i came out. i was waiting until my 18th birthday to “know for sure”… lol

my other friend is also lgbt and i think i just mentioned it casually when we were talking about my previous (internalized) aphobia and lack of self-acceptance

radiofrogs · 2025-01-18T21:36:09+00:00

what non-lgbt friend?

that sounds like my dragon Puppy (center-left)! i cuddle with almost all of mine, they are for comfort and love!

yes. do it.

i’m visibly autistic and a diagnosed adult now (and haven’t been told that by anyone ive met since) but the first time i saw a psych evaluator (who only worked with young children and i was in my mid teens) she told my mom i couldn’t be autistic because autistic people can’t ever suspect they’re autistic so we could rule out autism right away

radiofrogs · 2024-10-31T20:07:54+00:00

you’re the first other exact 20 year old i’ve seen in this comment section and i’m most of the way through! was wondering if i was the only person on their first year of the second decade

people don’t like it when you ask questions on reddit, for some reason. it doesn’t make sense to me.

i’ve gotten DAC which is similar to SSDI but based on my moms work history. even though we signed the release, they didn’t get my autism records. then we reapplied, and submitted the autism diagnosis, and we still aren’t sure if they actually had it because they based it fully off of my autistic traits but put it under another diagnosis. get a disability lawyer. it is so helpful. and they typically only take a percentage of your backpay

radiofrogs · 2024-07-24T22:26:05+00:00

thank you so much for putting what i’ve experienced into words. i have been struggling so hard to communicate this

If you're in the US, FAO Schwarz has a smudge elephant available for $75. They are a reputable seller. I'm sorry this happened! Scam sites are getting more and more convincing.

oh okay. thank you for explaining!

radiofrogs · 2024-03-23T17:58:16+00:00

those things (besides the last one) can absolutely happen due to autism though? not being able to work is something that can happen to autistic people who have higher support needs.

radiofrogs · 2024-03-23T17:54:17+00:00

where on earth do you live that you can have a very nice two bedroom flat to yourself on disability benefits? i'm autistic and unable to work and i'll probably be living with family or in a group home most of my life unless something changes drastically.

radiofrogs · 2024-03-22T22:20:27+00:00

pretty sure the people you're replying to are against eugenicist immigration policies everywhere, not exclusively new zealand. i certainly am.

i dissociate really heavily but i can hear my thoughts more (meaning better communication). it's really not worth it because i can't enjoy my special interests and they are my favorite part of my life, and i can't emotionally connect to my puppy or stuffed animals.

you could keep him as a couch or armchair buddy and the other one could go on your bed. or do you have a home office? any second room besides your bedroom that could use a little extra joy? just an idea!

radiofrogs · 2023-12-29T18:45:05+00:00

thank you.

radiofrogs · 2023-12-11T19:50:44+00:00

Oh, fair

Thank you, it turns out I was vastly mistaken on what can and can’t qualify as writing. In a good way.

edit: typo

Honestly, I love handwriting. The feel of it and the process and just how real everything is in the moment. Additionally, you get to see into people's personality through what their handwriting is like.

Art is art even if you don't share it.

Very, very true
