You’re not fake simply because you act differently depending on the person you’re with. Different personalities bring out different aspects of your personality. You’re complex and multidimensional; it’s beautiful.
and all the mess and the weirdness and the Things Other People Don’t Do and the namecalling and everything, all of a sudden they make sense because he knows this thing about himself which explains it all and it’s not his fault any more, and what’s more, there’s a community of people who have experienced the exact same thing that he can now relate to?

This article on hyposensitivity contains useful tips… but mainly I’m putting it out here for the silly, sweet, diverse drawings of Autistic people and their loved ones having fun!
I basically screamed and started happy stimming all over the place when I saw the picture of the Autistic person sitting on an exercise ball almost exactly like me right now.
Many autistic people have different sensory needs. Some are hyposensitive, meaning we need extra stimulation, and this is what the article covers. Some are hypersensitive, meaning we get overstimulated easily. Many are a mix of both, so don’t be surprised if parts of the article don’t apply to you.
So, see if you learn a few things, and most of all enjoy the art!
(content warning for mild cartoon blood in one image near the end)
99.9% of the time nonbinary identities are ignored and the only two genders used are male and female
they imply that in order for someone to be a certain gender, their body has to change to fit it (i.e., a character can’t go from male to female without having wider hips and breasts)
they imply physical characteristics = gender
all of the above are examples of cissexism, which perpetuates the marginalization and erasure of trans people
stop arguing with trans people about whether genderbends are transphobic or not, especially if you’re cis
