Due to Ronin's obsession with toying with his victims mental before slaughtering them, he considers himself well-versed in listening to people.

You especially.

He truly does not understand how you link your sentences together. You could be pointing out a bird you saw earlier in the day, then somehow transitioning to rant about medieval torture devices. It's effortless, and Ronin does not understand how you do it.

fully verbal autistic ✅️ valid

verbal autsitic with verbal loss ✅️ valid

semiverbal autistic ✅️ valid

So we all know the stereotype of autistic people is that we're either nonverbal or really bad at convos, but I wish there were more representation for those of us that are hyperverbal! Don't get me wrong, this isn't all the time, but if you

normalize the messy thinkers + talkers

for one thing let's get our collective attention spans back

I’ve officially hit my boiling point with this bullshit, I am so truly sick of it. It’s unbelievably rude and disrespectful to do this, and quite frankly it’s just fucking cruel. It’s so deeply unnecessary! When someone does this they are simply just telling someone to shut up, trying to shame them into being silent because they personally cannot endure a mild annoyance, or even bring themselves to be polite about voicing this. All the while having the fucking gall to frame the “yapper” as being the rude one who is violating an unspoken social rule!

I also believe this is honestly indicative of how wide-spread and prevalent anti-intellectualism is becoming. That now anything longer than 1-2 paragraphs of no more than 3 simply worded, short and sweet sentences is now the threshold for a post or message to be seen as an insufferable “wall of text” or an “essay” apparently. How the fuck is anyone supposed to effectively communicate and explain anything like this? All it does is stifle and entirely shut down open discussions! I fucking hate this, it’s miserable!

It frames open and precise communication that values detail as being shameful. It conveys that being caring, passionate, and just emotionally genuine, as all being negative traits that must be corrected, and thus are “deserving of” social ridicule. It makes the world a less interesting, inquisitive, curious and thoughtful place and I just… despise it so much!

And this isn’t even me getting into the ableism aspect of it! I personally know the lasting damage this shit can do to one’s confidence, self-perception, self-worth and ability to communicate in a way that is just… sustainable, because that’s the impact that years and years of being told I’m annoying and I need to shut up or “calm down”, be less of myself, has had on me! As someone who is autistic with adhd, and that comes with being hyper verbal. Over, and over, and over again, ridiculed and mocked for a behaviour I simply cannot mask without destroying myself. It makes me never, ever want to speak!

All because it’s apparently just too much to ask that people simply just give “annoying” and “yappy” people like me the benefit of the doubt! Just a tiny bit of fucking grace! No, they need to wound me, it’s not enough for them to just ignore me, and I’m not allowed to be upset about it or even defend myself, lest I be scolded for “taking the bait” or “taking it too seriously” or not being the “more mature” person. It’s not fucking fair!

like not even just in how people treat you the woobification of speech impediments (the way people use uwu speak as like a teehee funny thing its so adorable when people cant say "l"s and "r"s) people saying your voice sounds "cute" or assuming your speech problems imply developmental/intellectual disabilities

god forbid you do also have developmental or intellectual disabilities because then youre much more likely to have difficulties finding ways to express yourself around legitimate articulation difficulties

and if your speech impediment isnt the result of a developmental or intellectual disability the way people will instantly assume your actual mouth is lazy and slow

but even from the perspective of being in speech therapy in your teens and adults every single resource app flashcard or speech activities given to us all the way until 12th grade were geared towards actual children

i was talking to fucking talking tom less than a week away from graduation and reading from bright colorful flashcards with cartoon pictures in them

and the best representation non stutterers have in media are literal cartoon animals like looney toons or mickey mouse and friends

best case scenario is that randos on the street assume its an accent i definitely think aside from the autism part of why i overexplain everything and am very hyperverbal is also to compensate for my speech issues

the way that so much of participation in society hinges on peoples ability to clearly articulate themselves

the way your arguments are so often discounted and thrown aside if you cant perfectly articulate it

people genuinely take you less seriously if you have difficulty speaking

the implication that the way you speak naturally fundamentally needs to be trained out of you because its wrong and broken

and a lot of speech impediments are literally due to congenital mouth shape/nasal differences deafness or being hoh and are literally uncontrollable but will still be forced into taking years of speech therapy anyway or are the result of difficulties with esl and speech impediments are frequently given pretty insulting names

aside from the obvious ones like tongue tie or lazy tongue theyre often words that are specifically difficult for the person with the speech impediment to pronounce

even "stutter" is often difficult for people with stutters bc of the st sound the multiple t sounds close together followed closely by the er

rhotacism is the inability to say /r/ sounds and it LITERALLY starts with a hard /r/ sound

lisps often describe difficulties with /l/s and /s/s

slurred speech is difficulties with /s/s /l/s and /r/s and the r sound in slur is LITERALLY and /er/ sound one of the more difficult ones for people with speech impediments to pronounce

lambdacism is difficulty saying /l/ and it LITERALLY starts with an /l/

the way speech therapy is designed feels structurally cruel to the people it seeks to help and yet every speech pathologist ive ever met acts like theyre doing these poor dumb disabled kids a huge service and doing the lords work

the way in which i immediately dont trust anyone who says they want to go into speech pathology to not be condescending and ableist af
