coffin-plate said,Yeah, at least these tattoos mark which allistics to avoid.
rotationalvelocidensity said,yep :/
russiawantstolove said,“I support Autism probably just as much as you do. ”
K. This is where you need to stop.
coffin-plate said,Yep :/ And getting mad at us for merely asking them to do some research
russiawantstolove said,K but lots of autistic people do dislike it, and I think you should at least read the reasons why before you get the thing tattooed.
But whatever, your choice. I’m not going to argue with someone who appears to be assuming and lying about the opinions of autistic people (seriously? you asked every kid you worked with what they thought of the puzzle piece? not to even consider the fact that young people are much more likely to accept authority figure’s feelings on certain subjects)
russiawantstolove said,K, I just think you should do some reading. Tattoos are permanent and if your brother later decides he hates the puzzle piece, that’ll be awkward

And not all people agree with the “autism leaders” (whatever the fuck that means) because autistic people are different and have differences in opinions just like not non-autistic people. The reason autistic people are different isn’t because autism is a spectrum, but because we’re individuals.
My little brother has autism and I want to get a tattoo for him. This is a basic drawing cause I suck lol #autism #brother #tattooidea #cantdrawtosavemylife #want
A lot of autistic people don’t like the idea of a puzzle piece representing us and prefer autism acceptance to autism awareness, you should definitely do some research on this before you get a permannt tattoo…
Managing Editor’s Note: James Terminiello has nailed the white washing that is Autism “Acceptance and Awareness” month in hiseditorial in New Jersey.com. What began as Leo Kanner’s diagnosis of a whole body, thoroughly debilitating diagnosis has been broadened to include the quirky guy who doesn’t talk much at parties - and this hurts those people with full blown autism - who are no longer the face of the diagnosis and who have the greatest needs. I’m reminded of the Monty Python Black Knight scene, ” It’s just a flesh wound!” Except it’s not at all funny.
funnily enough, these people refuse to listen to the voices of people who were diagnosed with “low-functioning autism,” and keep speaking over autistic people at all functioning levels.
fuck off age of autism.
Why would you self diagnose if you aren’t going to get treatment or try to self-medicate?
What is the fucking point?
What is the fucking point of saying you have something if you aren’t going to try to work on it?
Because there are other ways of working on things than receiving medical treatment????????
Because it helps to know what’s going on in your brain even if you can’t receive medical treatment?????
People that say “Oh yeah, I suffered with an eating disorder for (insert amount of time)” and then when you ask them how they got their diagnosis they say, “oh, I didn’t need a doctor to tell me”.
Well actually, that’s why we have mental health professionals.
Any kind of self diagnosis is annoying as fuck, you think you have bipolar/BPD/PTSD? See a psychiatrist. You think you have a mental health problem? SEE A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
Fucking stop with the self-diagnosis. Professionals are there for a reason.
Pisses. Me. Off.
Can you pay the bills of the people who can’t afford to see mental health professionals?
Can you reverse time and stop doctors from abusing me and everyone else who was abused by mental health professionals?
Can you move all mentally disabled people to countries where there is the opportunity to see mental health professionals for their disorder?
No?
Then shut the fuck up.
