New on Ramen Science!

A curious CC-0 Wikimedia picture inspires one of the best ramen bowls I've had on the blog to date.

"High functioning" and "low functioning" aren't imprecise labels.

They're pathology-paradigm labels - and I reject the paradigm, not just the wording.

There's no such thing as a high or low functioning autistic person.

There are autistic people whose support needs are visible, and autistic people whose support needs get ignored.

The labels don't describe us.

They sort us - by how useful we look to others.

Refuse the sorting.

All of it.

It is important to remember that trauma is complicated, and there are different responses to it. I have seen people get attacked for not reacting "enough" to something going bad. You can't tell what someone is feeling just by looking at them

hot tip: when a disabled person tells you they cant do something, even if you really really want / need them to, please dont pressure them and just believe them that they know their own abilities better than you

The "carry on as normal" is the hardest part. This is why I hate any system with an in-built expected "default" amount of work you must do. The best case scenario in systems like that is spending huge amounts of time convincing abled people to let me consider myself disabled and rest
