Gorramdoll - How an autism spectrum disability affects my life now

THIS VIDEO DESCRIBES MY LIFE OH MY GOD. From functioning levels to passing as normal to falling out with people to single-mindedness to executive dysfunction to anxiety to dissociation.

Everything is as I would say it, more or less.

“Professionals always frame social skills as being able to look like you’re normal. But what I call my social skills have vastly improved now that I don’t care about that anymore.”

I LOVE YOU.

About

Here you will find my experiences with autism, as well as the anxiety and depression that often come with it.

I want this to be a place of neurodiversity. I'm not an expert, but I welcome questions, thoughts and experiences from others. I want to respect all neurodivergences and that means refusing to reinforce ableism.

I don't use functioning language. Nor do I insult people on the basis of their intelligence, or equate intelligence with worth.

Outside of ableism, I also reblog posts about cissexism, heterosexism, racism, sexism, sizism and any other -isms that are taking place.

As a white cisgender guy I hold a lot of privileges, so I welcome call-outs when I get any of this wrong.

My personal posts tend to be in the actuallyautistic tag.

I can also be found at FY Stimming.
