Is it an autism thing to get stuck on words? Not like echolalia, but finding a word that, for whatever reason, you accidentally use it in the vast majority of your conversations? 

I’ll get stuck on one for a couple weeks, then boom, a new word replaces it.

Ex:
I used the word “copacetic” in almost every conversation, and I mean EVERY conversation, for about two weeks. I would use it contextually correct, but often (in hindsight) it probably sounded clunky and pretentious. 

“Yeah, I can wash the dishes since you’ve had a bad day. It’s copacetic. Relax and unwind.”

To the point where someone actually pointed it out to me and now it makes me nervous when I say it. It’s happened with random words for god knows how long. And with figuring out this Dx, I’ve done a good amount of “is this a me thing or an autism thing?”

Not sure if it’s an autism thing, but I do this

I do this too!

sbroxman-autisticquestions:

To other autistic people, do you ever intentionally hide in bathrooms to avoid social gatherings?

Pretty often. Problem is if im in there too long my wife starts yelling my nsne and being upset that I’m gobs so it doesn’t really relieve anxiety.

this is for my not so hairy boys. this is for the boys who can’t grow a beard or just can’t grow much body hair at all. this is for the boys who don’t feel masculine enough because their hair is so light or they don’t have much of it. i want you to know that you are man enough and you are important and valid.

Friendly reminder for pride month that if someone’s willing to call themselves queer, they’re probably queer, and you don’t know anyone well enough to determine otherwise for them 😳✨🌈

#ok but i will Fite™ cishet aces on sight!!!!“

No, you won’t, and you’re missing most of the point of this post. If someone’s willing to be called queer and take on what that means, they’re queer, and you don’t get to make the decision on that. If someone’s actually straight, they’ll back out of it pretty quick because they’ll get a taste of homophobia and decide it isn’t worth the buzzwords.

Look at what the actual threats to queer people are. The government. Police brutality. Rising fascism. Lack of social services. Lack of affordable healthcare. “Cishet aces,” who are about 1% of all asexuals to begin with, don’t even make the list. And how are you going to tell which ones are “cishet,” anyway? Nah, you just want a convenient boogeyman you can actually hurt, because the real evil people in power are too scary and you don’t want to spend actual effort fighting for anything or doing anything that would benefit more than just you.

the gays like nintendo games cause most of them arent mmos and if they are theres no voice chat and its actually fun and thats the tea

Also because there’s a surprising number of Nintendo characters don’t conform to binary gender and/or who define their own gender identity.  (See: the Toad species and the Inklings.)

(Tagging @vo-kopen because Toads and Toadette.)

Also many of them are very cute and wholesome and fun and like with the way the world is we just need that Gentle Escapism

need to be able to forget about how narrow minded and awful the world is for a bit and just enjoy a fun adventure as a round happy pink orb ❤

plus nintendo’s one of the few companies still making games with a full color palette (i.e. rainbow colors) instead of making everything the same dusty greyish brown till you can’t tell the scenery and the characters apart

this has turned into the nintendo teahouse, you are all correct

also nintendo isn’t afraid to put games out there that actually have a distinct and charming art style rather than only games with HD 1020P hyper-realistic graphics that make me look at every individual face pore and eyeball mucus sheen on some dusty war man’s face

Me: I love myself and am content with my own company

Also me: I am aggressively lonely and crave human interaction

ALSO me: I am terrified of being mistreated or disliked so I isolate myself and thus make it even harder for me to interact with other people
