Shitpost of the day...
Stimming is how autistic people communicate with the autism mothership.
The truth is: the whole point of dying is to be scared. Because that means that your life meant something to you. You should fear dying. You should be terrified of it. Even though it's natural, even though it's going to happen, even though you should come to terms with it in a certain way, and go through the feeling of it , and have a relationship with it. You also should acknowledge the fact that when it's gonna happen, no matter how much you prepare, you're gonna be terrified. Because life does mean something.

I would rather let a “special snowflake” into the autistic community than exclude an autistic that needs support and cannot get a clinical diagnosis. I would rather validate ten “special snowflakes” than invalidate one autistic who needs support and cannot get a clinical diagnosis.
I would rather welcome a hundred “special snowflakes” without question than force an autistic to disclose their entire life to me just to get the support they need when they cannot get a clinical diagnosis.
I would rather help those that don’t need help, than deny help to those that need it.

When you have to turn your music up so loud it nearly hurts but its to drown out all the gross feeling sounds from elsewhere

A quick search of Stephen Hawking quotes because I wanted to read some of the things he had to teach and some of the words he left behind...
“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
“I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.”
“My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”
“Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.”
“I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers.”
“People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.”
“We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.”
“Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.”

Hi what are raptor hands? I see people talk about this in #actuallyautistic, and I'm not 100% what kind of hands it refers to. (I love your detailed and thorough answers to everything, btw.)
Hi, I’m glad you appreciate how many words I need to answer even the most basic questions! (half joke)
Interestingly enough, my icon here is a drawing of myself with raptor hands.
Raptor hands (also called raptor arms, meerkat hands, and many other things of this format) are a way of holding one’s hands/arms at rest. It’s when a person has their arms in a resting position where their elbows are bent.
A common way that this can look is that the hands are right at chest level, and loosely hanging down. The hands don’t need to be as high though for me to still consider it raptor hands. Elbows at a right angle such that the hands are hanging down from around the waist still strike me as being a bit raptorish in this sense.
The reason this is talked about in the actuallyautistic tag is because autistic people tend to be the ones who do this naturally. I’m not sure what causes it, but a lot of us find it much more comfortable than having our arms hang down to our sides. I have a friend who tries to hold her arms down to her sides, but because having them bent is so much more natural feeling, her elbows are still a bit bent, and so when she walks you can see her arms bending away from her a bit. It’s actually how I first thought to ask if she’s autistic too (she is).
Here’s the original drawing I did that I turned into my icon, since I think it’s a good example. (Copic markers and a pigma micron for the line art)
Oh yeah, I want that. No, I need that cat! And I need it fast
This design available on Redbubble for April in case you need some autism pride stuff for Autism Acceptance Month.
shoot me a reblog if you can! Links don’t show up in the tag I don’t think
