my roommate was in charge of keeping me alive when i was in college. reminded me to eat, helped out with chores, would go places with me because i couldn’t go out alone. in the 6mo she lived at home was a nightmare for me AND i was in a relationship but he couldn’t be bothered

i used the word caretaker in a very literal sense, meaning a person to help take care of me. i know those recommending i *hire* a caretaker meant well, but they're not very accessible and i likely wouldn't even be comfortable with one—they'd cause more issues than they'd solve.

nonverbal is a diagnostic specifier for autistics with little-to-no verbal speech. there are qualifications to classify what makes someone nonverbal. it does not just mean “i am unable to/do not want to speak”. if you can speak the majority of the time, you’re not nonverbal. 1/3

I think we need a more fluid understanding of what constitutes 'non-verbal'. As an #ActuallyAutistic person, I have days where I would much prefer to be non-verbal and it is painful and difficult for me to speak, then I have days where speaking comes much more easily.

then there’s the fact that they also deserve to be supported and accommodated, so depending on their personal needs, it’a not that I wouldn’t want to help, i may just not be able to meet them whether it be due to their extensiveness or conflicting with my own.

it just sucks because it took me so long to be able to identify my needs, then even longer to recognize how those needs can best be accommodated/supported, and then even longer to get comfortable enough to openly express my needs to others and communicate how they can meet them.

my bio says autistic + annoying so that's exactly what i'm going to be right now because this app is allergic to nuance: 1) having an autistic sibling doesn't make you a spokesperson for autism nor does it make you capable of discerning who is/isn't autistic over the internet

So tired of autism being the quirky joke on the internet. You’re not all autistic, sorry!

it’s also just very strange to see LSN autistics constantly discount support needs/levels as a whole by saying “well everyone has needs”, and then those same LSN autistics practically crucify anyone who doesn’t fit their perception of what an adult with autism “should look like”.

even more unpopular opinion, most of the “worries” people have about official diagnoses only apply to autistic people with HSN, which is ironic because most HSN autistics don’t have the choice to not get diagnosed because they NEED one. so it’s just fear-mongering.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but DO NOT get an offial autism diagnosis simply for validation. Only get one if you need it, practically, like to claim disability allowance for example. An autism diagnosis can and WILL be used against you. It is a legal liability everywhere.

one thing i find veeerrryyy interesting about the racist tree’s claims that they aren’t racist is that when interacting with replies from white people, it’s always “my words are being twisted, people are out to get me” but with bipoc it’s “you’re not interacting in good faith” 🤨

@FrittersMcG i mean my ex gf wasn’t really very willing or helpful either so i think it’s more of an ableism problem than a gendered one

no literally, the “quirkification” of autism has done irreparable damage to how it’s viewed as a disability because wdym your autism doesn’t affect you, wdym you don’t need help from anyone?? congrats i guess but that is not the case for like 99% of autistic people so maybe stfu!

@sagittariasss I gotta say, this is an extremely tame and completely true tweet related to autism and people are still in the replies and qts talking about “well actually” and “im neurodivergent too”. It’s sort of bleak. Ppl genuinely do not understand it and it’s sort of frightening

it is not infantilizing to acknowledge and accept that i (and other disabled people) require external help and support from other people in order to live……what a strange thing to say……..

@Spontyyy esp with autism, people will find my “quirks” endearing at first, until they get to know me better & learn how i’m impaired by them. my use of ‘eventually’ was more so to relay how it’s not an expectation at the beginning of the relationship, but something i’d require long term.
