okay but the BEST part of the first study discussed (conducted by an autistic person!) Is that it shows that while easy, calm, mutual communication and social interaction is often more natural between two autistic people than it is between an autistic person and a non-autistic person, it is ALSO like this when an autistic person encounters a non-autistic person who imitates the autistic individual’s behaviours- neurotypical parents copying autistic children’s play, for example, apparently receive more positive engagement from their child- which is SERIOUSLY FUCKING IMPORTANT and VERY VERY GOOD because it is, once again, scientific evidence that bullshit like aversion therapy and enforced conformance and FUCKING “quiet hands” aren’t “”“”“solutions to the autism problem”“”“” and that “”“”“problems”“”“ with autism don’t stem from BEING autistic, but rather, from how NON AUSTISTIC PEOPLE TREAT AUTISTIC PEOPLE.
IE, once again, there is nothing bad or wrong about being autistic
As my mom put it when she got sick of listening to acquaintance “A” whine about how autistic person “B” they both knew ‘really lacks communication skills’ and ‘doesn’t really understand other people’ (B has excellent but specific communication skills, and merely refuses to engage in 'polite’ but ultimately unhelpful social behavior), and how frustrating it was for A, as a 'professional communications advisior’ and self-described empath, to work with B:
“Well if YOU’RE so goddamn good at communication and empathy, why don’t YOU learn to how to communicate and empathize with HER instead?”
opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"
seems like this one really resonated with the artists who dont do art fandom

just misread "the horror of being percieved" as "the honor of being perceived" which is actually epic and awesomesauce

Trump indicted for Jan 6th
This is the first thing I saw coming out of anesthesia. What a Good Day.
[id: the Scrooge meme edited so that thebibliosphere is scrooge and cryptotheism is the little bunny outside his window. thebibliosphere says, “You there, boy! What day is it?” And cryptotheism replies “Why, it’s Trump indicted for January 6th Day, sir!” the bibliosphere exclaims, “Then I haven’t missed it!” end id]
It could be the fentanyl but this is the fucking funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
gender to me is like a car i dont really want one and society would be much better if it was not structured around it. but i got one because it helps me get around and sometimes its fun to make it go fast
and people tell you to move to one of a handful of cities if you want to avoid having one, but when you get there the majority of people have one anyway and jobs expect you to as well
reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics
