Today my mom told me that the way I stimmed embarrassed her because she said it “made me look autistic” but uh, I am autistic.
She prohibits me from discussing my diagnosis with anyone (I ignore this - I’m really open about my diagnosis at school and online) and not even my extended family knows. The one time that I brought it up, she told my family that I was lying.
Don’t teach your kids to be ashamed of their autism, or any other disability/disorder/illness that they may have. Trying to suppress it doesn’t make it go away. Trying to suppress it only hurts even more.
Once you help your kids know themselves and embrace themselves and all of their differences, you will help their world become a better place.
Please don’t teach your kids to be ashamed of their diagnosis. You can’t hide a part of them from the world for forever

anybody see the main character designs of matt groening’s new show yet? i’m mot much into fantasy but i’m still curious about it enough to check it out….. and also maybe because i want more female protagonist adult cartoons lol
the demon is adorable and by far the best-looking one out of the three of em, maybe because he’s kind of different from the usual groening design mold
however, the goblin/elf/whatever looks like green bart. its literally just green bart.
PSA: journalists aren’t supposed to put names in the headlines if the person isn’t a public figure. It’s not a matter of maliciously not giving credit
^^^as a journalist, this is something that bothers me ALL THE TIME
A friend of mine on Twitter explained this the other day, so to elaborate based on what she said: If the name is not instantly recognizable the way a public figure is, then putting the name in the headline isn’t going to bring about any sort of recognition or connection in the reader, and doesn’t do much to draw the reader into the story. But something like “local teen” does create a connection by tying the person into the community, and encourages the reader to learn more about what this local teen has done. The name will be in the article itself, after the headline has done its job at getting the reader to look into it.
It’s worth noting too that usually, according to the Inverted Pyramid writing style used for journalism where the most important information is shared first, the person’s name is usually in the first sentence of the first paragraph.
Whenever I see someone get up at arms over a headline that says “Local Teen” and the first comment is “SAY THEIR NAME” I’m always like “hey, thanks for telling every journalist present that you don’t read articles and just skim headlines.” Really makes us feel appreciated.
I think this Onion headline illustrates the point pretty well
