Autism Type #1814

me: so being autistic effects every part of me...

allistic: ok

me: it even changes my perception of gender...

allistic: that makes sense

me: i identify as autigender because my experience of gender is intertwined with my autistic experience

allistic: AuTisM IsN’T A GENDer?!!!!

———————————————————————

autigender doesn’t necessarily mean autism is a gender, it is simply a term autistics can use to describe the way their gender and autism interact (hope that helps explain it!)

offering a hug to all the trans people with traumatic religious upbringings; we didn’t deserve what they did to us. we deserve love, community, and acceptance. i’m here for you

Oh the horrors! (Having to act human)

friendly reminder:

trauma-born alterhumanity is VALID!

non-shifting alterhumanity is VALID!

neruodivergency-born alterhumanity is VALID!

system-born alterhumanity is VALID!

disabled alterhumans are VALID!

polykins/polytherians are VALID!

monokins/monotherians are VALID!

endels (people who's alterhumanity is caused by clinical zoanthropy/lycanthropy) are VALID!

YOU ARE VALID!

if any mutuals (or anyone really) ever wanna chat, I promise I’m real chill. anons are fine too!I’m kinda awkward, but I’m always up for random conversations.

(sorry i'm a different alter that forgets tings within 0.1 s) Not sure how much of this is aplicable to you as a fae changeling; but have you ever wondered: What would happen if the human infant were to be randomly be switched back in by your fae ancestors? What if like me; you are more ok as the opposite human glimmer sex and transition the glimmer and then switch back out for the original human infant? (or any equivalent) We generally as fae lack common human empathy but it's still entertaining to ponder the concept of "what if" the human infant were to return to whatever we did to the glimmer perception of them. Sorry if this makes little sense i'm fronting as an alter we aren't usually and i can't formulate things as well as the others.

I think this is a really interesting thing to ponder. I’ve never wondered this before. I don’t actually know if I can even answer this at the moment since I am currently severely lacking in the empathy department. I will try to give a better response when I have thought more about it.

I intend to modify my glamour quite a bit, so the idea of the human being swapped back in is very entertaining to me. They would surely be surprised at the very least.

No need to apologize, you worded your question well.

people don’t talk about vocal stimming enough, in my opinion. haha like vocal stimming is the best. i always have to do it alone cause it usually annoys my family, but still i just love to just go and “aaaaaaaaAAAAaaAaAaaAaa” it’s somehow so refreshing

i wonder, since you're also fae+changeling; have you also had that interest and ease in learning languages just because it would be easier to either hide or blend in somewhere else? It makes sense to me but i'm not sure if would be a thing for others.

I've been trilingual since i was a kid, french and english posed no problem but it seems that i have a taste for certain languages over others; german was hard for me to learn even if i studied it since i was in pre-k, for example. Spanish and other heavily romance languages are eqally hard. I much prefer learning slavic languages personally, since they're also close to home phonetically to my native language.

Oh that does make sense. Other than English, I’ve never had much luck with learning languages personally. I have always been extremely proficient with English, however I’ve never really tried to learn anything else. I think for me it’s due to the fact that I’ve never been motivated enough to stick to learning one. I learned some French in middle school, but just never saw the point in learning it when I never intended on going any place that required me to know French. I think if given the proper motivation I could learn another language, but since I grew up in America where everything is very English-centered I never found myself needing any other language. Apologies for the wordy response, this was an interesting question. I’d love to hear from other changelings to see if they’re skilled in learning languages.

Hey, shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans with "weird" or "gross" ___-types.

Shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans with "weird" or "gross" instincts, urges, feelings, or habits due to their non-human-ness.

Shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans who have ever had to hide their own species behind a trigger warning.

Shout out to the otherkin, therian, alterhumans, and any other non-humans who feel like they don't even "fit in" in our own community. I'm in the same position.

We need to have each other's backs.

It is actually completely valid to feel saddened and frustrated by how nonhumanity and therianthropy have been reduced to masks, quadrobics, and tails. It’s an extremely personal experience, and now all we get is this same type of content over and over again that feels like roleplaying and dress up. It feels so synthetic and strictly made for others, and it’s fine if you’re mad at the lack of actual experiences and talk of actual nonhuman feelings that aren’t just “I wanna go home to the forest” “look at my mask/paws/tail” “managed to do this quads jump today”. I don’t believe that that’s the only time you feel shifty. I don’t. And I want to hear more about your daily experiences about your nonhumanity, how it affects you, what makes you euphoric. I want back originality and actually talking about your experiences that aren’t conventional and the same with everyone (as much as they might be similar in the general nonhumanity aspect).
