i didn’t know that

letting people share autismspeaks funded articles without repercussion, not only is it against the rules but also damages autistic people, and i couldn’t let that slide

To me it’s like this. I’m fairly good at learning languages from my language family bc they share very similar patterns, eg. I’ve learned some Portuguese just by hearing it without studying the grammar and I’m fairly decent at it. Though I also learned japanese which is a tough nut to crack bc it has a lot of social nuances and patterns that don’t exist in romance languages: I started when I was 13 and I’m still studying it only having reached a good level a few years ago.

yeah also no entitled mods here so that’s a plus

is vent related to chicken laying eggs?

i don’t like the idea of a community that big setting a precedent like this. Then ofc I’m staying here bc it’s much better, but i feel like this is a big problem, bc ppl are more prone to flock to that cesspool and thus getting exposed to autismspeaks propaganda and redditors. Im gonna take my benzos bc I’m really agitated about this

still something tho

it’s very coded in romance languages/my conlang, so it’s understandable

there’s a conlang sub? cool! (also i developed it in a few months by sounding it out then i wrote this in my notes)

it’s crazy how nobody cares there! I’m literally pestering the subreddit bc its unacceptable

the thing is I’m not even self diagnosed yet they went for the jugular (i dunno if it’ll make sense in english) assuming i was

the worst part is i talked to the moderators and they glossed over the autism speak paper thing. I’m glad my technosavvy brother told me about this app

instrumental music is so good. Bands like Chon (math rock/math metal) or casiopea (80s j-fusion) are among my favorites. If you like post-rock theres an italian band called massimo volume (means maximum volume) though they have lyrics so i don’t know if you’d like ir

helloooo

that tape is so heavy it crushed my skull

cool! it’s always nice to remember that you’re not an alien and you’re not alone and there are people you can relate to

the levels in the autism spectrum indicate the amount of support needed by an autistic person. High functioning autism is basically level 1 so low supports needs, level 2 is substantial supports need and 3 is high supports need. Labels like Aspergers or high-functioning are clinically irrelevant today, as in the DSM-5 all the different types of autism were joined into one single diagnosis, and that is autism spectrum disorder, hence the levels
