MADE BY A DIAGNOSED CISAUTISTIC. I AM PROFESSIONALLY DIAGNOSED dont start fights over me "faking" autism or smth

I find my own tics cute at times. I have a tiny ‘meow’ tic lately, and I wish people wouldn’t pity me for it happening. I do have negative ones, but they’re not all bad.

Spin with me twin❤️

FIRST TIME GETTING HATE 🥳🎉🎊 i feel like ive officially made it as a radqueer <33

anyways, usually i would just ignore this but i kinda wan2 add my piece (again, lol) and actually expand on my pevious post about transautistic folks.

I'm cis autistic, im guessing you missed that key detail in my post. when i was 13 i would have autistic meltdowns where i would dissociate, screem, and cry for hours into the morning, in my parents bed as they soothed me. at 14 i would collapse in front of the school doors and beg them not to let me go. one time i had a good day, my parent walked me in, and my principal cornered me in the hallway and told me i was old enough to walk myself in. at 15, i finally transferred schools, to a school where nearly every kid has an IEP, i LOVED it, but i couldn't go. i was thrown into burnout, i was bed ridden for weeks on and off.

im chrono 16 in less than a month, im finally getting a diagnosis, i just failed 2 classes, i know damn well that i still have not faced the worst, but does that make me a victim? no, it makes me incredibly proud to be autistic. I am full of pride for my disability, and i want others to see the light in this disorder. i love every single transautistic person out there, because they are making our disorder known, and they are dedicated to understanding and speading awareness for our disorder.

yes, i say our, because i will not be gatekeeping a term just because i had a horrible experience with it. that would be victimization. i will not spead hate on anyone who has a better experience than myself, because that is victimization. autistic folk have suffered long enough, and if someone wants to call themselves autistic, pick up the traits, live as an autistic person, and spread awareness for their self made disability? have fun with it? power to them. we have suffered long enough, its time that non-cisautistic people started speaking up about our disorder.

This post will (likely) be part of a series of transautistic posts, this one will be focusing on Dysarthria and Dysphagia. Which are both common in all forms and levels of autism (as well as a bunch of other disorders).

Dysarthria

Dysarthria happens when the muscles used for speech are weak or are hard to control. Dysarthria often causes slurred or slow speech that can be difficult to understand. — Mayo Clinic

My personal experience with dysarthria is having a mild speech impediment, difficulty pronouncing a fair ammount of words, having trouble controling my tone and volume of speech, drooling unintentionally, being an increadibly messy eater, and trouble producing facial expressions to do with the mouth/lips.

Ways that you could replicate this:

— reduce care for pronunciation of words, mash up words, leave you mouth or jaw loose when talking, dont correct mistakes you make when talking, talk with a slur and/or lisp, and use frequent speech impediment mix-up (like the ever infamous r/w one i have myself and hate, but its also kinda funny)

— talk loudly or quietly at inappropiate times, i myself often have the most trouble when im trying to talk first, i find myself mouthing the words and pushing some air out of my mouth, but i simply cannot control my body well enough to do so. frequently i struggle badly with starting words, so pause, mouth the first syllable, and cough/grunt/huff/any random noise to help "kickstart" you talking.

— drooling unitentionally can just be done by leaving your mouth open and having your head tilted downwards slightly, but lots of autistic people find it rather to be the subconsious control of the toungue and cheeks, as well as not swallowing the spit absentmindedly like an abled-person would. so you could also replicate this by just letting spit build up in your mouth without correcting it. i honestly dont know how i eat as messily as i do so idrk if i can offer any tips, but eat slowly (as having difficulty with mouth movements mean i cant take big bites of thing) and without care basically...

— for facial expression just over stretch your lips, let you lips tremble like youre about to cry, switch facial expression as you wish, as well as not matching expressions to your eyes

Dysphagia

Certain conditions can weaken the throat muscles, making it difficult to move food from the mouth into the throat and esophagus during swallowing. A person might choke, gag or cough when trying to swallow, or have the sensation of food or fluids going down the windpipe, called the trachea, or up the nose. — Mayo Clinic

Oropharyngeal Dysphagia is most common type of dysphagia within people with autism, so ill be covering that, but there is a lot of overlap with esophagial dysphagia as well, so you should likely do research in that area as well. For me dysphagia means talking pills is HELL; pills and food will constantly get stuck in the back of my mouth/beginning of my throat, and i can end up choking/gagging/coughing it back up into my mouth or infront of me (not fun). Simular to the lack of ability to start talking, i also stuggle with starting to swallow, leading gross tasting pill to start dissolving in my mouth as i try to swallow.

What you could do to replicate this:

— make several aborted attempts to swallow before actually completing it and try to swallow food that is to large for you to actually do so

— think of you food as gross or associate food with gross thoughts (like maggots, mold, alergens, ect), this will cause you to naturally start to reject food that is in your mouth
