Hmmmmmmmmmmmm :3c
Hey! Look! Some of our community’s awesome autistic activists helped shut down bullshit about autism with host Dylan Marron!
Nice work, everyone involved! It’s a good show of what can happen when we speak up and say, “Hey, this is super one-sided and doesn’t represent us fairly or adequately!” So I’d also like to say good job to everyone who reacted to the earlier vid that Dylan Marron created about autism, and influenced this video, which is a follow-up with four autistic people who share their experiences.

…dammit.
I have and love both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, the previous games by this studio.
I might have to buy a PS4.
“‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away
My way to you”
I love this song, but the resolution of this video is particularly satisfying and beautiful, especially when you know what went on with Billie Joe between this album and the last one.
Is it possible to become “more autistic”? Why is my child suddenly having more meltdowns? What is autistic burnout? What causes it, and what does it look like in Autistic children and adults? What can you do about it? Answers to all these questions and more in this episode of Ask an Autistic!
In case anyone doesn’t know or wants to know more about autistic burnout, since I have mentioned it a couple of times in the last few days, re: state of myself right now.
Happy hand flapping to Parachute, a Leverage fanvid. I love the vid itself, but the song is just as pleasurable to me.
Stimming with my only remaining intact Tangle – the new Therapy I just got out of the box the other day. New purchases will have to wait – I’m probably going to put an order in for a range of new ones in two to three months. For now, I’ve got this one and I’m going to do a dollar shop/toy shop/office supply shop run to find a collection of things I can fit in my pocket for under $5. Wish me luck!
Shorter vid of me stimming with my hands and my (broken) Tangle Jr Fuzzy. I wasn’t listening to music this time, just trying out my laptop camera for the first time.
Also, attempting a crosspost to DW/LJ for the first time! Wish me luck.
Soundtrack: Over and Over – Hot Chip (possibly the stimmiest song ever)
(Actual video is silent, that’s just what I was listening to.)
Stimming with my hands and my (sadly, broken) Tangle Jr Fuzzy. Don’t know if what I do is technically flapping? IDK. It’s a kind of weird movement I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do, but it feels right. Often both hands, but mostly right handed, as per this. (Left hand is steadying my laptop.)
