Don’t date men who dont do housework/chores until they’re asked.

By that I mean: it is not your responsibility alone to keep track of and manage the household labour and chores.

Do not date someone who expects you to tally and distribute tasks like they’re a child getting chores from their parents.

You should never feel like the parent nagging for chores to be done before playtime in an adult partnership.

There’s a really great comic about this too.

Read the comic.

To y’all who constantly doubt yourself and go “but what if I’m faking” about your diagnosis and your mental illness – if you were faking, you’d be fully aware of it cause it’d be a conscious decision and something you’d have to put effort into keeping up.

You’re not faking unless you made a conscious decision to do so.

End of discussion.

Things Autistic People Need:

  • Accessibility
  • Fidget tools (cubes, spinners, tangles, chewelry, etc.) allowed in the work place
  • Designated quiet areas at events
  • Affordable diagnoses esp. for adults
  • Better diagnoses for adults, trans and non-binary persons, female persons, and persons of color
  • Living wage/affordable housing (since a good portion of us aren’t able to work 40hrs+/wk and government assistance isn’t always reliable)
  • Affordable, good-textured clothing
  • Alternate means of communication (ex: basics of sign language) widely taught
  • End of functioning labels and “mental age”
  • Therapy that is helpful and healthy and that isn’t legally considered torture

Things Autistic People Don’t Need

  • A cure – from what we know, it’s most likely genetic
  • Awareness – pretty much everybody knows autism exists

Fellow auties, feel free to add your own. Allistics (non-autistic persons) can reblog but please don’t add.
