It doesn't LOOK smart

i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.

I think most of the parents would love Steve but I like the idea of Max’s mom being the exception. For whatever reason she kinda never started trusting Steve but immediately loved Eddie. Max gets in trouble at school and Eddie picks her up? He can say “don’t worry we had a chat about why that wasn’t okay!” and she’ll thank him and invite him in for cookies. Max gets injured and Steve picks her up? She gives him the side eye she can’t help it.

Do you thuink maybe one day we're gonna stop moralizing social skills

Every day people will describe some autistic shit & be like "this is selfish annoying and perhaps ontologically evil why don't you just stop doing that? Here's how to train yourself out of doing that. Everyone hates you and it's your fault for not being normaler" hey now hey now

It's always some shit about a nebulous group of Weird Nerds and their masturbatory intellectualism in place of ~real human connection~ like oh my god. Do you hear yourself. They never say the word autistic they just start posting about, like. Autism spectrum diagnostic criteria

The thing is, like, yeaugh Social Skills are learnable to a certain degree & they're called that because people hate it when you're bad at them. But the masking tutorials giving you like scripts for what to say when you catch yourself infodumping or whatever are so depressing. I hate this sorry. Maybe we don't have to modify our behavior for people who hate us maybe we can relax for two seconds. Maybe being a little chatty isn't the end of the fucking world just because it's pathologizable?

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!

He is 16 by the way. Things keep going in the UK the way they're going he could easily outlast another 3, I think.
