My need for weighted blankets has gotten so bad that i can’t sleep at night because the weather is becoming too hot and my blanket is too light.

This saddens me.

i have had to sleep with just a sheet on and ive been having really bad nightmares what feels like almost constantly

and i really wonder if this is related

Tomorrow Darwin will start taking a very small dose of RItalin.

He’s never been on any medication before, and it kind of worries me. But doctors seem to think this could help him, and well, I guess it’s my job to do what helps him.

I guess we’ll see how this goes.

Hi, you yourself are not autistic. Please un-tag this from actuallyautistic, which is meant as a space for autistic teens and adults to speak to each other, away from non-autistic people like yourself.

ugh evolvingwithautism is back 

sassyirony:

if you talk to me like i’m a child after finding out i’m autistic mental professional or not i will shut down and forever not like you

 #i don’t give a flying fuck if you’re used to talking to low functioning autistic people #talk to me like i’m a human being #fuck 

i dont like these tags cause they should talk to “low functioning” autistic people like they’re adults and human beings as well.

"I'm a sibling and my story never gets heard but I understand and the fact is most autistic people can't talk, which is the main reason for autistic problems, my mum is upset most days because my brother can not tell her what he wants and it frustrates him more than my mum"

no

"I was the one who posted about the autistic boy being called things and I am not the mother. I know the autistic boy DOES deserve sympathy but it was just the view I heard it from and I thought the mother's side should be heard"

the side of parents or siblings is always the side heard though

nobody ever thinks about how hearing this stuff affects us

I did this as well (how I fit in politeyeti’s revised autism criteria. comments in [] brackets, and bolded are things I do.

"Awareness, while it can be good, is unfortunately in the actuallyautistic community, not...good. Listen, I can't work, I don't have friends, I can't pay for doctors visits, I can't pay for my medication. I have MULTIPLE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ILLNESSES. But, there are some autistic people who don't. There are some who have wonderful lives. But who the fuck are you to say that one person may have it better than the other. No one."

Yep and I was trying to tell them I don’t have a wonderful life, but eh :/
