deludedimperfection asked: I kind of just need to get this off my chest... I asked my mom about what she would do if I was diagnosed as autistic(because I don't have a formal diagnosis and I live with her and my grandma) and I kind of coaxed out of her that she wants me to act 'low-functioning' so we could get more benefits and our own place and I still want to cry because I'm doing my best to be...
Friend: "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY HI?"

Me: "....................WAT."

scintor replied to your post: Having Aspergers and being a jerk are two completely different things.
You do not have to put up with people being jerks no matter what. Everyone I know with Asperger’s (myself included) who finds out that they have been mean or hurtful because of their Asperger’s are horrified by their own behavior.
Yeah, sometimes I realize I’ve said/done something wrong due...

I know I’m probably going to get raged at for this, which is fine.
But…honestly? There’s something I keep running into.
And that’s people who claim to have Aspergers being quite rude, doing a lot of things like teasing me for my social skills, demanding to know why I’m gay/won’t date them, and generally being rude to other people.
They don’t seem to...

morihimekins asked: My two younger bros are autistic, high functioning and moderate. We fought a lot growing up because none of us understood how to deal with each other's actions. My parents spent a lot of time trying to teach them how to deal with the world, but no one told me how to be around them. We're all close now, and I love them to pieces, but I wish there was something like this blog too explain...
today-4-u-tomorrow-4-me-deactiv asked: Sometimes I feel like my mom doesn't understand what I go through. Like if I'm in a crowded room at a family gathering, I have to get away from it all because there's too many noise and people. And if I can't get out of the room I sort of double over in my seat and plug my ears, or turn my music on and blast it so I can't hear anyone. And my mom always accuses me of being...

we-are-not-shining-stars asked: Do you have any suggestions for keeping emotions in check? I get frustrated so easily and just break down and cry.
dracoplasm asked: Hullo, fellow high-functioner here! Just discovered this blog and my god, I relate to so many of these. XD I'm glad there's other people out there who understand why we do the things we do. Makes me seem less crazy. Keep it up. :3

castielattano asked: To put the people's fears to rest about the Mayan Calendar; The calendar was written before Leap years were a thing, so the calendar would be a single day more obsolete every time there was a leap year, in reality, the date that we think is December 21st 2012 was back in April of last year...
whosyourteddy asked: I was curies and does any other autistic kitten worry over December 21st? ;_; and does it cause you guys to panic as well or? And if so, do you have any way of keeping your mind off of it?
isomer asked: I figured either you or another autistic kitten who reads this blog may be able to help me out! My son doesn't seem to "get" questions. Sometimes asking him to tell me his name is a challenge (i.e: I ask him what his name is, I await his answer). Any advice on how I could go about working on getting him to answer questions better? As always, thank you in advance! :)

Telekenisis is a lie
Yup. I was across the room and my friend was annoying me, and a pot lid that was like 6 feet away from me flew at his head and hit him. Now he thinks I have telekinesis.

the-boy-with-a-broken-halo asked: TAG A BEAUTIFUL PERSON! YOU'RE IT! RULES ARE: COPY THIS MESSAGE TO 10 OTHER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE/BLOGS WHO YOU THINK DESERVE THIS MESSAGE! KEEP THE GAME GOING AND MAKE EVERYONE FEEL BEAUTIFUL ♥
Let me tell you a story:
non-disabled people: I've never met you before; can you have sex?
non-disabled people: But how do you have sex? Will you draw me a diagram?
non-disabled people: Wow you're so gross and unusual, I think I'll post your picture on facebook without your permission, and people will admire me for being a Good Person
non-disabled people: Here, let me touch you and violate your personal space without permission.
non-disabled people: Do you need help? No? Ok let me help you.
non-disabled people: Differently Abled
non-disabled people: "The only disability in life is a bad attitude"
non-disabled people: I'm taking disability studies this year. Let me tell you all about disability, and how you should feel about it.
non-disabled people: Disabled people should not want to have sex, because it offends me on a personal level and I believe that I have the right to dictate what other people do with their lives.
non-disabled people: But I have a disabled friend
non-disabled people: But I have a disabled child (...that I'm probably abusing)
non-disabled people: Disabled people are not productive members of society; they don't have a right to live.
non-disabled people: I broke my foot once, I understand.
non-disabled people: If I were you, I would want to be dead. You're so inspiring.
non-disabled people: Why are you so angry all the time?
non-disabled people: Why do you have a crowbar?

thegreathomestuckreread asked: Anyone who say you are not beautiful is so cripplingly wrong. You are one of the most beautiful people I sort of know x3 You help so many people on a daily basis, and that alone is enough to make you such a stunningly beautiful person. Chin up, and keep fighting <3

intelligentairhead asked: Kitten, I'm sorry. It's called body dismorphia and it is sad when someone becomes convinced that they aren't beautiful. Because you are. You show it through the way you sympathise, the way you elucidate thoughts no one else could possibly conjure, the way you comfort each and every one of us, and the way you bounce up every time you are knocked down. You are a beautiful, loving, and...
absoluteblue asked: It's a bad habit your brain gets into when people say things like that all the time and you internalize it. I have the same problems with self image and anxiousness about appearing 'normal'. I think it helps that whenever you think something bad, you stop yourself and think something positive instead. You've got to train your brain or subconscious or whatever to be nice to you...
Self-Image. Trigger-Warning: Sexual abuse story.
My whole life, I’ve been made fun of for my looks, and my weirdness. I always got called weird-looking and teased for my weight. Some people would call me beautiful, or point out that I wasn’t ugly, just different. But I’ve always been teased for my babyish looks, my round face, my weight, and my “slight accent.”
What’s sad is discovering that I can always find...
