Es sind so viele neue Follower dazu gekommen, willkommen hier im Fuchsbau 😊. Ich möchte mich kurz vorstellen: Ich bin Daniela und mache Comics über Autismus, Neurodivergenz und Behinderung und Illustrationen (besonders gerne für Kinder). Ich liebe Comics, Anime, Videospiele, Pen and Paper, witchy Dinge und Nerdstuff. Mein Lieblingsdinosaurier ist der Parasaurolophus! Macht es euch gemütlich, nehmt euch Kekse und ein Heißgetränk! 🦊🍪🫖

After 48 years of masking to look neurotypical, hearing ‘just adapt a bit more’ drives me up the wall. I’ve adapted every single day of my life already. Enough is enough.
In this piece I open up about the hidden cost of masking, the burnout that eats you alive, and why it’s not always us who have to give in.
If you’ve spent years fading into the background just to survive, you might see yourself in this.

All I've had is dry toast, rice, and milk for days and I'm still at $0 to pay my hydro bill. If you could just share my pinned post or this one, that would mean the world to me

Ich suche gerade Bücher zum Thema Autismus bei Frauen. Es gibt mittlerweile viele - kann jemand welche empfehlen oder von welchen abraten?
Und kennt jemand vielleicht "Chaos, Kinder und Konfetti" von Natalia Lamotte? Da geht's spezifisch um Neurodivergenz und Elternschaft.

(EDIT: this is the first of what became a long thread. Please read it in full to get the full picture. Thanks.)
There's an old joke that goes like this:
A Soviet scientist has trained a flea to jump whenever he says "jump!".
He tears off the flea's leg. He says "jump!".
The flea jumps.
He tears off another. He says "jump!".
The flea jumps.
This repeats two more times.
Then he tears off another. "jump!"
The flea does not jump.
The scientist writes in his notebook: "conclusion: after losing their fifth leg, fleas go deaf".
This post is not actually about fleas or Soviets or even jokes.
This post is about autism and how #actuallyautistic people were concluded to have an undeveloped theory of mind.
Bullshit science results in bullshit conclusions.

@DrSafariBoob here's something i wrote on reddit a couple of months ago:
this is just my experience:
you are told for the first 30 years that you are just a "crazy bitch".
you go to a psychologist and they diagnose you with bpd.
you then spend the next 10 years letting everyone take advantage of you because youve been told that your problem is your personality and it needs to be altered to make you and everyone around you happy. you get treated like shit by coworkers and friends, all with a smile on your face because you are the the cause of why they treat you like crap, not that they are bad people.
you are then diagnosed with autism and are told that you need to advocate for yourself. you do and ask for help with things or to change your environment to make yourself more comfortable with just existing. the people who tell you that they will love you no matter what start saying that youre now completely self-absorbed and self-centered, and that all you do is use your autism as an excuse because you ask other people to accommodate you more than you used to.
this whole thing is exhausting.
My borderline personality disorder symptoms all started getting better the moment I started understanding myself as autistic.

Of course I developed anxiety, but it’s not because there was anything wrong with me. It is a completely reasonable reaction to avoid things that hurt you.

Romantik ist kein Naturgesetz,
sie ist ein normatives Skript,
kapitalistisch verstärkt
und sozial eingefordert.
Liebe braucht das nicht.
