Probably crying tea and drinking over Doctor Who. Being disabled hasn't ruined my life, being a fandom nerd has. They / them.

    Really, with any concept / value - not just empathy but anything (e.g. courage, hard work, affection, etc) - don't assume the ways you perceive it are the only ways it can happen. Because that's almost certainly gonna stigmatise disabled / ND folks and people from other cultures.

    Just because you’re a disabled person that can do one thing, doesn’t mean other disabled people can do the same thing.

    I knew boiling hot dogs was a mistake.

    Uber app says car has arrived I can’t hear it. Me: hi I’m blind can you pull up next to me so I can find you? Them: can you see the red car I’m there. Me: .... I’m blind no I can’t see the red car. Them: I’m next to the red car. Me: Pull up next to me. Eventually they did 🙄 👩🏼‍🦯

    Maybe you'll stop medicating! (Not my fucking goal.) Why use a cane? (None of your business.) Everyone's back hurt sometimes! (Christ stop talking.) Don't you want kids? (I'd prefer to take care of myself, thanks.)

    We process so much when doing regular things, taking in every little detail of a social interaction or event rather than just the big picture of it. And we have so much to focus on, plus often things like anxiety. That's tiring. Napping is natural and healthy in response to that.

    Oh, yes! I do this too, but with objects. It can seem as if I don’t like it, or won’t use it but really I’m just letting the idea of using it sit in my mind and let myself get used to it.

    This is genuinely how it seems a lot of the time. Because we don't think (or express our thoughts) in exactly the "correct" ways, people assume we're not thinking at all. They mistake our difference for absence way too often. It's sad, it's dangerous, and frankly, it's insulting.

    I'm especially interested to hear from anyone in a largely autistic family, who all knew that they were autistic. Because I imagine having that knowledge about yourself and each other could help a lot, compared to if someone / everyone is undiagnosed.

    But are there any things that were positive? Ways you could connect with your parents / guardians (hereafter referred to as PG)? Things you shared, or things (e.g. hobbies) you didn't exactly share but did understand about each other?

    I know it wouldn't necessarily be ideal, especially if people involved don't know they're autistic and are really struggling, consciously or unconsciously trying to repress autistic traits (or expressing them in unhealthy ways), etc.

    Are there any autistic people here who were raised by autistic parents / guardians? I so rarely see this dynamic spoken about and want to hear about it.

    Autistic me: Loves - no, REQUIRES - a clean house to function. Adhd me: Cant figure out how to get started cleaning the house, procrastinates for weeks and becomes blind to piles of clutter. Autistic me: Is just as bad at initiating and completing tasks. House: Remains messy.

    This definitely isn't just an autistic thing, there are other things (like anxiety) at work. But I think it's largely related to being autistic. It is one of the things I struggle with and don't think is just a social issue. That's ok; I shouldn't expect my brain to be perfect.

    So that's why it's taken me nearly a week to make a phone call. That and the stress / anxiety. Oh, and executive dysfunction, of course.

    It's like I have a "mental map" of what a day's routine looks like, and any small change to that makes the whole thing feel off. It feels like a disruption, not just a minor change.

    It's like my mind, once it gains a certain concept (in this case, the concept of what a day involves), holds onto that concept, and struggles to understand how the reality could not match that concept. If I'm taught an idea, realities that don't match it can be distressing.

    So it takes my brain a while, a few days at least, to sort of develop a new concept of what that day will be like, to incorporate this new thing that will happen. I have to adjust my previous idea of a day.

    It's like my mind has a certain concept of what a day is like for me. When the reality doesn't match up to that concept, it feels jarring and confusing. Even if I know in advance that a day will be different to that concept, it's still difficult and uncomfortable.
