Rainbow Autistic

I’m autistic, what’s your superpower?

to anyone who could use some encouragement

@Talismancamp It's Autistic Conversion Therapy, and most #ActuallyAutistic people consider it abusive. Hope this helps. ❤️

@gtconway3d I think it's the "and restore confidence in equal treatment under the law" that got me 🤦

@AmberlynWhite • cosplay with medieval costumes which to them are just practical comfy clothes
• writing futuristic sci-fi apocalypse stories that we now just call everyday life
• rocks

@RisingPhoenics @angel_sharkie @AmberlynWhite oh true - I'd say ideally this but with a "please" to more clearly convey it's a request and not just asking for information (not to mention it's more polite), probably just a small thing though

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@angel_sharkie @AmberlynWhite I think this would actually be better because it sounds more clearly like a request.

leaves less room for "yes I do mind, now what" or "no I wouldn't mind" and then not doing it because it wasn't technically asked.

@elonmusk my approach with trolls is usually to wish them the help they need. I hope you get the help you need, Elon :)

@DaisyDoodle78 @petaluma_shawn @EmilyCRuby @magee_ken exactly. I’ve never heard of having an abortion just to kill someone. people tend to have abortions if they didn’t intend to get pregnant and don’t want children at that time. some are raped, some just aren’t ready. but it’s rarely if ever premeditated.

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@DaisyDoodle78 @petaluma_shawn @EmilyCRuby @magee_ken that is debatable, but actually a valid viewpoint in my opinion, IF you fight at least as hard for the right to life after birth as before. however, if we’re going with that, one would also be responsible for donating blood and organs and such wherever it would save human lives.

@kylenabecker @RinainDC many republicans are only “pro-life” when it comes to fetuses. I find this exceedingly disturbing.

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@lindy_treece I was lucky in that I was born into a financially stable and generally supportive family, but many others aren’t. it was almost missed for me too, likely in part because I’m AFAB, but my parents were persistent and I was diagnosed around fifth grade / age 10.

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@marymcreasey @lindy_treece if they openly identify that way, then good on you for respecting that! if not, I strongly urge you to avoid person-first language for them until they invite you to do otherwise, as the vast majority of the #ActuallyAutistic community prefers identity first language :)

@BowleggedB3auty @Haitian_Dolle victim of what … beauty? I’ll take some off your hands if you like 🙃❤️

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@petaluma_shawn @EmilyCRuby @magee_ken you have the right to be unvaccinated. you don’t have the right to go out in public unvaccinated. if it’s others’ health and safety you’re risking, it’s not just your body, thus not your choice.

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@nathaliejacoby1 I agree that a PERSON’s right to choose is a fundamental right. woman, man, enby, doesn’t matter. if it’s your body you have a right to opt out.

@4GodFamilyUSA1 @eatyourteeeth @jeffrey_feff @PastorTimothyJ @TimRunsHisMouth @neal_katyal even if you were right about that, what does this have to do with abortion?

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@4GodFamilyUSA1 @jeffrey_feff @PastorTimothyJ @TimRunsHisMouth @neal_katyal identical twins do not have their own unique DNA, but rather share the same DNA as their twin, does that mean they’re not two different people?

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@NeuroRebel no, but probably for different reasons than most. (1) I have a service dog and don’t feel ready to take him on a plane. (2) I don’t have enough mental energy. (3) I don’t want nostalgia for places that would cost a lot to go back to. (4) we’re in a global pandemic!

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@commaficionado this is abuse of autistic *including* undiagnosed autistic children

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@ADESOKANYUSUFA4 @tafolabi_MD judging by the context it appears to be the year of graduation from the school preceding it

[Rainbow Autistic @RainbowAutistic]

@NeuroRebel I already miss them. they’re still required where I am, people just don’t care. I wear mine because I value safety over my nostrils being visible.
