#autism text posts

[image id: seven screenshots of Logan.

In the first, Logan looks annoyed. Text post by @autistic-noodle reads, "Me: So I'm autistic. / Person at school: Really? But you weren't autistic when I first met you! How come you are now? / Me:".

In the second, Logan has a soft smile. Text post by @wildhvney reads, "true: there is no normal! it's ok to not fit in if that makes you happy! it's good to be yourself! also true: it matters to some people whether they fit in and how they are treated. you won't convince them otherwise. this is not an excuse to treat people like they are 'abnormal'. being weird isn't empowering if it's not a choice. self-determination is part of being yourself".

In the third, Logan has a pained smile. Text post by @talesofanautisticgirl reads, "No ableists I don't need your opinion on how autistic you think I am based on stereotypes."

In the fourth, Logan is adjusting his glasses with both hands. Text post by @five-thousand-loaves-of (url is cut off) reads, "i am simple autism, easy to condition fear. the minute i see my psych book mention theory of mind, i let out a frustrated whine and eye roll even when no where near does the author mention asd."

In the fifth, Logan has a "fair enough" expression. Text post by @apology-sprout reads, "An Autism Mood™ is sitting in a quiet place and listening to the hum of all the electronics in the room."

The sixth and seventh are a pair. In the sixth, Logan's looking off to the side almost dismissively. The first half of the text post by @bee-autiful-mess reads, "Me: lining up toys as a child? pssh sounds weird but okay". In the seventh, Logan is smiling. Second half of the text post reads, "Also Me, lining up every single perfume, body spray, lotion, moisturizer, face spray, and every other kind of bottle on a shelf to ruler standard, as well as all of my plants, my books, knick knacks, any possession that isn't a toy: Haha neet". /end id]

Autism text posts! (finally got my official diagnosis so why the hell not) I’ve already done ADHD ones a while back, and I was like “what if I did autism ones?”

[image id: six screenshots of Roman.

In the first, Roman is smiling slightly. Text post by @autie-jake reads, "Other people at restaurants: Spends like 5 to 10 minutes looking at a menu / Me at restaurants: Doesn't even open the menu because of course I'm getting the same thing I always get".

In the second, Roman looks taken aback. Text post by @medium-sized-medium reads, "Peak autism is reading posts on this site like 'When I was little I did blank in this certain situation' and being like, wait, neurotypicals don't do that?"

In the third, Roman has a dramatic expression. Text post by @sick-thing reads, "autistics who watch the same thing on repeat what was one of the first things you'd watch over and over and over again / mine was the 'not one of us' segment from the lion king 2 where they were chasing kovu off the pridelands".

In the fourth, Roman is raising his hand. Text post by @kcjenkinsofficial reads, "raise your motherfucking hand if you listen to the same song over and over".

The fifth and sixth are a pair. In the fifth, Roman is looking at the ground with an agitated expression. The first half of the text post by @kittenautie reads, "me 5 years ago: Autism? What? There's no way I have that!! I'm definitely not autistic, this must be a joke". In the sixth, Roman looks happy. Second half of the text post reads, "me now: I am autistic and I shall continue to autism autistically as much as I please and you cannot stop me, fear me bitches *flaps away into the sunset*". /end id]

[image id: six screenshots of Virgil.

In the first, he's zoning out. Text post by @stimmingstarboy reads, "When I'm overloaded or I'm recovering from an overload I tend to miss out on vital steps for basic routines like grabbing a towel for a shower or fixing myself something to eat".

In the second, he's doing a sarcastic thumbs up. Text post by @verslecygne reads, "Autistic culture / Autistic culture is freaking out each time someone who wants to be your friend texts you because you're afraid to scare them with your lack of social skills."

In the third, he looks frustrated. Text post by @verslecygne reads, "Daily problems / Me all day: Ugh. Tired. Need to go to sleep earlier. Also, bored. Can't find anything to do. / Me at 1 am: *obsessing over Special Interest and browsing every website about it again and again*"

In the fourth, he looks stressed. Text post by @enderbot-magic reads, "Me: *fucks up social interaction* / Me: oh no. / Me: how do I delete my existence / Me: I need to learn to time travel to eviscerate my ability to create cognitive thought 10.479 seconds ago and save myself and the world from my idiocy. / Me: destroy me, shatter me".

The fifth and sixth are a pair. In the fifth, he's smirking, and the first half of the text post by @the-greatest-sun reads, "the punk side of my brain: WE SHOULD GO TO A CONCERT!! THE LOUDER AND CRAZIER THE BETTER!!!!!" In the sixth, he's frowning, and the second half of the text post reads, "Also my brain, having autism: I don't know. There'll be Noises". /end id]

In the third, Remus is smiling. Text post by @trashcanalienist reads, "Autistic people flirt like birds? (Though it could just be me I guess?) 'hey, check out how many marbles I have. You can even have one, if you want.' 'I have three entire cookie tins full of buttons, if you need eyes for your creations. I have all kinds of buttons, I got most of them from yard sales and fabric stores.' 'this is a food I Like, you want some??'"

In the fourth, Remus is doing jazz hands. Text post by @rustybutterknife reads, "Person across from me in the halls: flapping their hands and chewing on their hoodie strings / Me: nods and does raptor claws, bouncing them in Stimmy Solidarity™". /end id]

[image id: Five screenshots of Janus in the courtroom.

In the first, he looks exasperated. Text post by @stimmyworkinprogress reads, "When you can't figure out why you're having trouble understanding the show you're watching... Oh, the subtitles are off!"

In the second, he is holding his arms out as if gesturing. Text post by @spongebob-autisticque (url is cut off) reads "Whenever I hear someone say 'person with autism', I always picture it like the person is living in an apartment and autism is their roommate. / Person: Autism, I'm home! / Autism: Hey person! Look, I just discovered this series! / Person: That's nice, but I've got to cook dinner and... / Autism: Oh no! We're going to be watching this series all night! It's going to be all you can think about!"

In the third, he looks smug. Text post by @wildhvney reads, "what a silly social norm. staring at people's eyeballs".

The fourth and fifth are a pair. In the fourth, he looks serious. The first half of a text post by @magical-autistic reads, "Me in public: cold, serious, aloof, unapproachable, sits perfectly still, stares you in the eyes, doesn't talk a lot." In the fifth, he's grinning. The second half of the text post reads, "Me with people I trust: talks constantly, never makes eye contact, stimming so much," /end id]

In the second, Patton looks overwhelmed. His hands are on his cheeks. Text post by @autistic-reptile reads, "To other autistic people / who else gets stuck on one word as your default response, but then you realize mid-conversation that you're using it way too much but can't think of another word to use?? / Example - / Them: so it's kinda like __ in a way, you know? / Me: yeah yeah, totally / Them: does that make sense? / Me: yeah totally! / Them: ok great, I'll see you tomorrow then? / Me: yep, totall- / My brain: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP".
