An ad about understanding autism that changes as you move

I looked into the organization that made this ad (national autistic society) and found out that their website actually features posts written by autistic people to persuade people that rather than “curing” autism, the differences among people should be celebrated and theyre primarily recommended to parents learning with new diagnoses :^)

“I’m not naughty, I’m autistic” would’ve changed my life as a kid.

okay but can we also just appreciate how accurately they managed to visually represent what overstimulation feels like?

This ad is 11/10 👌🏼

“The problem with people quantifying that richness is that they completely forget it is infinite compared to the broadest of humanity’s finite capacities. A similar problem happens when people try to quantify personhood. The richness I experience of the world is not merely a more limited version of other people’s experiences. My experiences have their own richness that other people may not be able to see.”

Ok y’all I need to know: are you a tight clothes autistic or a baggy clothes autistic? Do you buy everything a size up or a size down?

Size down. Tighten up those clothes. Show off that ass. Flash those ankles. Set the world on fire. Hide under the table in a panic.

I want my clothes to cling to my body like a second skin (well, at least the bottom layer of clothes. Other layers can be swishy)

Everything loose except underwear, shoes, socks and wristwatch. Can’t stand those things too loose. Tight stuff on my feet and wrists actually helps me be grounded. I have a pair of polar fleece bondage cuffs that I’ve taken all the buckles off that are great for this and help me avoid meltdowns in public.
