Found a post about this on The Web and after putting out the nice one where folks can chat and have a laugh, I'm now gonna put out the one that might inspire some more stimulating discussion:
it's like one of those "one's gotta go" posts on Twitter but anonymous unless you comment, so it's gonna be far more interesting to see what goes here
i have had no inspiration to post anything at all
i'm not sure i can't think of any head cannons to share or anything about my alternative universe
just tired tbh
if i make anything i'll post it otherwise i'm gonna stay quiet
sorry
I've complained about this before and I'll do it again, I am very disappointed and sad about the lack of Wallace merch out there. All I want is a little keychain for my work keys, so when I'm having a bad day or stressful day I can look at him and give myself an ounce of serotonin to get me through my day.
If there are any artists who make acrylic keychains and are open to commissions, let me know! I will pay extra if I have to
C'mon, pokemon Fandom, don't just favorite the new trainers ðŸ˜
A well informed autism self diagnosis is just as valid as a psychiatric diagnosis. Additionally, under the given circumstances it is safer, most probably less expensive and you don't need to wait for any appointment.
10 screenshots from a twitter thread by @devprice with white text on black background.
The thread reads as follows:
I hear from many trans & nonbinary people who are actively seeking an Autism diagnosis. My advice is RETHINK THIS. Restricting Autistic people's access to gender affirming care is a major TERF talking point. As legal attacks on trans healthcare mounts, a psychiatric dx is a risk
The high overlap between Autism & transness was one of the main "concerns" JK Rowling rose in her "TERF Wars" blog post. Numerous fearmongering anti-trans articles influenced by TERFs have raised the issue since. if youre trans now is not a good time to seek a formal Autism dx.
An Autism dx does not unlock access to any beneficial therapeutic treatment, bc there is no "treating" Autism. Formal diagnosis makes us vulnerable to legal & psychiatric control and gets our competence challenged -- you dont need to subject yourself to this. diagnose yourself
I am close with dozens and dozens of Autistic people, and I have no idea who has a diagnosis and who does not. It does not matter. There is no reason to ask, no reason for others to care how someone identifies and how they arrived there -- all that matters is community support.
also if you cannot afford to pursue a lengthy & expensive lawsuit, it's unlikely a formal diagnosis will actually protect you from discrimination at work, in school or in housing. if you have the means great, but most don't. disclosing disability can be more risk than its worth.
if you need a dx to access resources such as disability benefits or extra test time, by all means go for it, but be cognizant of the potential costs. you could be denied for surgery, lose control of your assets, be found legally incompetent, lose custody of your kids...

My autism dx was forced on me at age 2 and kept me out of the military in my 20s. It’s been nothing but destructive. I was beat up in sped and believed myself to be stupid my entire life because of it. I can’t even buy life insurance.

In some states, people with autism face being denied organ transplants, are at higher risk for forced sterilization and/or denied contraceptive and reproductive care, and have a higher risk of police brutality I considered this and decided informal diagnosis was best for me

In the UK, an autism diagnosis is already a significant barrier to gender-affirming care. The GICs automatically try to discount dysphoria as autism during your initial assessments with them. If you arrive pre-diagnosed with autism they write your dysphoria off as that.

You finish up a dinner of filay minion at Hoenn's fanciest restaurant. You turn around, and he is there. What do you do?

I’ve finally done it…. Sygna suit Wallace and Jirachi… at last…
[ID: A digital drawing of Wallace in a sygna suit inspired by Jirachi. He has a long, yellow scarf, a cropped shirt with long puffy sleeves and yellow ruffles at the end, long puffy pants with yellow ruffles at the end, and cut outs at the sides of his legs. He has a sleeveless long cyan vest, boots, star designs, and stripes of cyan throughout. Jirachi floats next to him and smiles with its mouth open. The background is a purple galaxy swirl with yellow sparkles throughout. End ID]
