“Oi bem vindes ao dia 7 eu sou autista e muito ruim com sarcasmo”
“Em geral eu costumo sempre assumir que as pessoas tão sendo honestas comigo e, a não ser que seja algo absurdo, maior parte das vezes eu vou acreditar ou só ficar confuse com a informação”

(imagem 2)

“ "A gente te ama!” “Confia!” “Eu não vou te machucar de verdade” “Okay…" “ "Yes, você é a MELHOR!” “

“Basicamente, é extremamente fácil mentir pra mim e me manipular. Eu demorei muito pra me tocar que sofria bullying quando era criança e na real até hoje eu tenho dificuldade pra saber se tão sendo rudes comigo ou não!“

“ “Ah…você…” “oxe” “É só brincadeira!” “Foi mal, esse jogo é para adultos” “Mas eu tenho a mesma idade que vo-” “Xau!” “Uh, ok até amanhã" “

(imagem 3)

“Uma vez 1 cara da faculdade aproveito que uma treta de zap era vagamente relacionada a mim pra uh, reclamar da minha existência”

(cortado) "Você vai ser criticada por ser lésbica. Você não pode sentar e chorar toda vez”
“É dark humor galera”
“Vc não está em um ambiente agradável, se resguarde se não quiser levar ataque”
“Eu sei”
“Vc força amizade na sala já não traz isso pro grupo”

“meu deus me desculpa eu não tenho noção”
“;) rlx”
“A gente nem se conhece”
“Set fire in the rain”
“kkk”
“Só não atrapalha a aula e todos vão te amar”
“gente 6 tão bem?”
(cortado)“PARA DE SER HIPOCRITA QUE TODO MUNDO GOSTA DE UMA BAIXARIA”

“ Doeu ter minhas inseguranças acertadas na mosca! Eu aprecio muito quem tem paciência comigo, que me explica as coisas sem ser vago. Se não eu não entendo as coisa! Eu preciso dessa comunicação clara e saudável. Aliás falando de zap, é ainda mais difícil fazer isso ONLINE!”

“Em inglês até tem marcadores de tom de voz e as vezes em português aviso de ironia ou piada. Mas eu acho que precisa normaliza mais! Ajuda muito! E quem sabe a gente ter uma lista de marcadores de tom em português também? Tipo assim? Tem nada de errado com demorar pra sacar as coisas e precisar de ajuda é okay! Achar que é burrice é capacitista. Lembre-se disso! xoxoxo”

“Hi welcome to day 7 I am autistic and very bad with sarcasm”
“In general I tend to assume that people are being honest with me and, unless it’s something absurd, most of the time I’ll believe it or just be confused with the information.”

(image 2)

“ “We love you!” “Trust me!” “I won’t hurt you for real” “Okay…” “Yes, you’re the BEST!””

“Basically, lying to me and manipulating me is extremely easy. I took a very long time to get that I was being bullied as a child and really up to this day I have a hard time telling if people are being rude to me.”

“ “Oh…you…” “Dafuq” “It’s just a joke!” “Sorry, this game is for adults” “But I’m the same age as y-” “Bye!” “Uh, okay. Seeya tomorrow.”

“One time this guy from college used the fact the whatsapp discourse was vaguely related to me to uh, complain about my existence”

(cut off)” “You will be criticized for being a lesbian. You can’t sit and cry every time” “It’s dark humor guys” U’re not in a pleasant space, keep to yourself if u don’t want to be attacked” “I know” “U already force friendships with people in class don’t bring that to the group”

““oh my god im sorry i cant tell” “;) dw” “we don’t even know each other” “Set fire in the rain” “lol” “Just don’t disrupt class and everyone will love you” “yall r good?” (cut off) “STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE EVERYONE HERE LOVES DRAMA”

“Having my insecurities attacked spot on hurt! I appreciate a lot those who are patient with me, that explain stuff to me without being vague. Otherwise I won’t get stuff! I need healthy and clear communication, BY THE WAY on the subject of Whatsapp it’s much harder to do that ONLINE!”

“In english we have voice tone “indicators” and some times in portuguese warnings for irony or jokes. But I think it should be more normalized! It helps a lot! And maybe have a list of tone indicators in portuguese too? Like so? There’s nothing wrong with taking a while to get things and needing help is okay! Finding that a sign of not being smart is ableist. Remember that! xoxoxo”

(translation for the list above next to the transcript)

Seriously. Just because I express affection slightly differently doesn’t mean I have no affection.

I know I post a lot of positivity and I stand by that but life with autism isn’t always super easy and its totally okay to struggle with it. Its okay not to always feel thrilled about it; feeling like that doesn’t make you a bad person. Just remember that you are fantastic for who you are. Accepting yourself or your diagnosis might be a process and that’s absolutely fine. Autism acceptance month isn’t just about others accepting us, for a lot of people its about working toward self acceptance too!

Happy April!

Autistic perspectives matter!!!

I have something I wanna say - no one has a right to speak for the whole autistic community. Autism $peaks certainly don’t but nor do I or anyone else. Everyone’s experience of Autism is individual and so are people’s opinions toward it. However, sharing your experiences of autism & opinions is vital in building the community and changing how autism is thought of across the world. I hope I’m adding my voice & experiences to the community but if you feel differently (so long as you are being respectful towards others) to my posts that’s also fine! I am only speaking for me & my view. 

Your voice and your experience matters!!! 

(Please be kind & respectful towards others though, I do not tolerate abusive comments or threats - thank you)

So often life with autism is frustrating. It’s frustrating trying to constantly meet other’s expectations that aren’t necessarily beneficial but are just there to make others more comfortable. It’s frustrating when sensory overload interrupts your plans and exhausts you. It’s frustrating when all you want to do is explain your experience to others but none of the words quite seem to fit. Its frustrating when you know things could be so much easier if there was even just a little more understanding and acceptance. 

This is why I love all the wonderfully amazing autistic people on here - together we can make autism acceptance a reality ♡♡♡
