"Dont drink coffee after 2 PM" is such a neurotypical issue that sounds made up. Such a thing couldnt happen to me, ADHD Georg, who has coffee past 9:30 PM and can still fall asleep freely because I have a natural toxicity resistance to caffeine.
"OooOooOoOh I cant haev cofee so late otherwise I'll be up all night" sounds like a skill issue
adventure time lore is insane. it starts off just being a goofy kids show that has magic for no reason, but then you learn that all magic users are manic and/or depressed (what betty calls sadness and madness). because it turns out magic is actually a cosmic force beyond mortal comprehension, that itself was learned from cosmic entities that predated the existence of time itself inside a sea of monsters. and "magic" really is just understanding more about the nature of the universe than most people. that, in a way, reality isnt "real" and understanding that allows you to mold it. and thats magic. but that drives you to insanity and/or apathy. and there are beings who hold significant cosmic importance who are more prone to magic. and the reason magic became prevalent on earth is because of a nuclear war a thousand years ago, which released the entity that represents the destruction of all life onto the world. and after a nuclear apocalypse this gave way to a new earth, where magic could thrive. but a lot of the beings we see arent even magical, theyre just mutants from what happened 1000 years ago. and humanity as we know it has been all but wiped out. but everything stays the same because cycles of war and violence continue. and it doesnt matter if its nukes or magic. everything stays the same, but still changes.
Autism advocacy is interesting.
It's interesting in the sense that part of Autism is "Social and Communication deficits". Why does that make this interesting?
Because it means I often can not participate in advocacy myself because I do not understand what exactly we're advocating for or what it means.
A lot of advocacy wants to force big changes but do not explain what type of changes we should implement or how that will help those with moderate-high support needs Autistics. Which makes it harder to understand or "get on board".
We are all Autistic. But some of us still need more support than others. This is not excluding others. This is fact.
I need to put some level of trust into Autism advocates because I do not have the ability to advocate that way. Autism limits my abilities to do so. If my NT parent can not understand the advocacy, it means I will struggle too. I need to trust that there are people advocating for people like me and that they are being listened to as well.
I agree.
I also think it would be good to make easy read versions of things being advocated for.
An example of an easy read document is here: https://www.mencap.org.uk/easyread/join-the-learning-disability-register
