“Don’t Infantilize Autism” Should Be Used When People Who Aren’t Autistic Treat Autistic Adults

“Don’t infantilize autism” should be used when people who aren’t autistic treat autistic adults like children.

It should not be said when people who are actually autistic have “childish” interests or stuffed animals and such. Autistic adults are allowed to find comfort and express their autism in ways that works for them (without causing harm), even other autistic people don’t get to tell them not to enjoy those things just because they dislike stereotypes or don’t want themselves to be infantilized.

You can’t tell someone else their life should be breaking a stereotype you dislike. That’s not up to you.

Just a reminder:

Flare ups happen and when they do its okay to slow down and it's okay to take a break

Rest is productive

Taking care of your body is an act of self love

Asking for help is okay and you should do it because your loved ones wanna be here for you

You are not a burden for your flare-ups, and your flare-up is a burden on you, not everyone else

I repeat Your body is a burden on you, but you are not a burden💛

Happening to me... It weird to be listened too. I'm always expecting it to turn against me. Like where the other shoe at?

Hello

I am Haifa from Gaza 🇵🇸🍉

, Palestine, mother of three children. We faced many physical and psychological problems because of the war that completely destroyed our home and our source of income. My children’s health was destroyed because of contaminated water and contaminated food. We live in a canvas tent, and my children are shivering from the cold

Hello
Hello
Hello

My son Youssef, 8 years old, had ambitions to become an engineer, but the occupation destroyed his talent. Jory and Joan, the fun twins full of humor and fun in our house, they are 6 years old, deprived of my children's education.

Hello
Hello
Hello

Other than that, the price of food has become very expensive My kids make me cry heartburn because I can't provide for them because I don't have the money Pleas

okay so something i noticed about buck and eddie with chris is that they both have a different way that they show affection

for instance, eddie of course hugs chris but he always kisses his hair

while buck will always greet him with a hug or grab his shoulder

and i think that's absolutely beautiful

anyways everything is about buddie except buddie which is about christopher because that's their soonnn

I HATE this insistence that we have a moral obligation to worsen our health for the "greater good!!"

"Don't ignore politics-"

STOP. STOP IT. If that's what it takes for you to survive, do it.

There's a reason in the mental hospital they block the news channels! It fucks people up! People find the world so damaged, future so hopeless, and situations so overwhelming they literally kill themselves!

Yes, yes, the activism guilt-tripping is supposed to be for those who simply don't care, but the disabled people who do care are the ones who wind up feeling guilty!

"It's a privilege to be able to ignore politics-"

No, it's a privilege to be able to pay attention to politics without having to be literally hospitalized.

Do. What. It. Takes. To. Survive.

"I need ALL of you to start paying attention-"

Wrong. You need all of us who are ABLE to start paying attention.

Do what it takes to survive.

They are asking you to join in a 70-mile hike up a mountain, where in order to win, as many people as possible must reach the top as quickly as possible! But you are in excruciating pain and have no legs! There is no accessible way up the mountain! In trying to climb the mountain, you will cause yourself irreparable harm and likely death! You feel bad, you're letting everyone down, you can't keep up, you're about to fall, but your friend is saying "hey, I get it, sometimes my legs get super sore, but you have to keep climbing! It's our duty! Keep going! The only way to save everyone is if we do this together!"

They DON'T get it. Even if they say "well I know so-and-so who also has no legs and he just uses his arm-strength and he's at the top already, what if I carry you for a few steps until you have your strength back?" You're not him! He's clearly aquired tools and strengthened muscles you have not, and might never be able to! Only YOU know what you can handle. Do not fall to your death because you feel guilty!

Survive.

Survive.

Sometimes, the biggest act of resistance is surviving.
