I’m Autistic And Bad At Chores

Being medium support needs feels a lot like being stuck in the middle. Allistic people group me in with LSN autistics and expect me to act like them, but LSN autistics don’t like me because my autism isn’t “quirky fun but don’t like certain foods but I am really smart” but more like “I have so many thoughts going through my head that I struggle to speak and type and make them known and I can’t identify my own needs and I am smart but I lack most ‘common sense’”

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

Reblog because this is important, and because I’m worried this will end up happening to me.

SOOOOO funny when you’re having a strong emotion and your logical brain KNOWS you’re overreacting but you literally can’t do anything about it.

Gonna wash my hair tomorrow. Not looking forward to it, the experience is miserable, but it’s a necessary part of life.

I washed it. It sucked, but it’s clean now, and I don’t have the feeling of grease in my hair.
