She Be Small Yet Fierce

"a joy to have in class" aka This Child Will Not Be Diagnosed for at least Eight Years

“not living up to their potential” “classwork does not reflect ability” aka The Child Was Diagnosed Before They Were Eight Years Olds

"Eager to please" this child earnestly believes that their value as a person is contingent on their ability to make others happy

Autistic people are like, “yeah I love following rules” and then proceed to rip apart the gender binary

I love following good rules. bad rules keep me from following better ones so I put them through a meat grinder and see what happens

The official rules suck, I have written my own.

That’s not a contradiction at all. “I love following rules” means “I love having clear instructions instead of them being implied”. It doesn’t mean “I love obeying authority” or “I love conforming”.

All of this! The number of times i was called disrespectful for not following obviously (to me) flawed rules that negated each other at the slightest complication! Just because people has been doing the same thing for a long time it doesn’t mean that it’s right or good or the most effective. Rules just like country laws need to be taken apart, analyzed, and remade on a regular basis to fit the current situation. It’s called improvement.

sometimes a family is a smol baby gay lesbian, her 9ft tall smoke show of a girlfriend, a soft butch best friend, a retired Marine who acts tough but is just trying to protect her girls, a hypochondriac statistician who is Definitely Not A Queer, two butch daddies and their Spanish-speaking daughter, and a mother hen ally who’s Just Happy to be Away From Her Children for Five Goddamn Minutes, and I just really think that’s beautiful
