Neurotypical Person: “Applied Behavioral Analysis really helped him. He doesn’t even seem autistic anymore. We can go places without people asking what’s wrong with him. Caring for him is a lot less of a burden than it used to be.”
Autistic Person: “Applied Behavioral Analysis traumatized me. I have to constantly put all my effort into pretending to not be autistic, even if I’m around people who would accept me for who I am. I can’t tell the difference between someone calling me out for hurting them and someone bullying me for being weird, because I’m used to everything I do being criticized. I’m easily abused because I’ve been conditioned to not say no and to care more about other people’s feelings than about myself. But no one realizes this, because everyone listens to the neurotypical person’s opinion instead.”
so i drew equius putting vriska’s robo-arm together and figured i needed to do tav too! so here he is. (i got a little carried away lmao)
The Game Grumps are playing Fire Red again and I’m loosing my mind.
The last time they played I still lived in the middle of the country and had a different career.
My favorite part of Ghostbusters was when they were trying to find the ghost below the concert and Patty walks by the room of mannequins and says “Nope. That’s a room full of nightmares.” And just KEEPS ON WALKING. Like I have been waiting MY WHOLE LIFE for a character to be like “well fuck that” and just not fucking deal with it, like the ghost had to come and get her and she outran the bitch
Patty was one of the best and probably the most relatable character.
