The erasure and othering that’s directed towards bisexual people
is so incredibly pervasive though?? Like… I have been out as a bisexual woman
for well over a decade. I’m a proper grownup who is completely confident in my
own sexuality and I still think of
myself as being entirely separate from the LGBTQIA+ community the vast majority
of the time. Sometimes people make comments about allies and part of my brain
is like ‘gosh I hope I don’t do that’ swiftly followed by ‘NO WAIT THIS IS YOUR
COMMUNITY TOO, YOU NUMPTY, THE B IS FOR YOU’ and I justI’m glad that the LGBTQIA+ community is more
welcoming towards bisexuals than it used to be, but I suppose it’s difficult to
unlearn years and years of being explicitly told that I don’t belong.I really hope it’s something that future generations of
bisexuals don’t have to deal with.

Do any other autistic people do echolalia in their mind? Like, repeating words and/or phrases, but in your thoughts rather than out loud?
alllllll the time.
you ever been so stressed that you’re calm
this is my constant state
my chill is fake
“How are you so calm?!”
“I’ve passed beyond stressed, beyond hysteria, into the grey misty indifference of complete shutdown of all but emergency services in my brain.”bolded for emphasis.
That awkward moment when I feel like I can’t post personal stuff because people that I knoW IN REAL LIFE FOLLOW ME AND THEY CANT KNOW MY SECRETS BUT STRANGERS CAN
Please reblog if:
•your anxiety has made it difficult for you to voice your opinion
•your anxiety has made it difficult to dress the way you want
•your anxiety has made it difficult to ask for help
•your anxiety has made you constantly worry if you are being annoying and wonder if your friends and family are valid relationships or if they just put up with you because they have to
And please know that you are not fighting this battle alone. You are worth more than your anxiety says. You matter and so does your opinion and your say.

do other autistic ppl ever trace patterns w a part of their body as stimming?
this is most of my stimming, honestly. either tracing or tensing my muscles in a rhythm. i’ve often wondered how much of this is because i was encouraged not to make noise or be disruptive as a child and so i came up with ways to stim that were noticeable only to me.
so many of my friends are queer that i genuinely forget that the majority of the population isn’t on a regular basis
