Communication is a human right! We demand access to whatever form of communication we choose, including unconditional access to Augmented and Alternative Communication technologies.
We demand autonomy over our own bodies and rightful decision-making powers over our own lives as we see fit.
We demand freedom from police brutality and all forms of abuse, including seclusion and physical and chemical restraint in schools and hospitals, and we demand freedom from all forms of violence, including filicide.
We demand that the shameful Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton, Massachusetts—and all other institutions like it—be shut down. #StopTheShock
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is conversion therapy for autistics. We demand freedom from all oppressive “interventions” or “treatments” and quack “cures” for Autism which seek to rob us of what—and who—we are.
We demand unsegregated access to an education alongside our peers.
We demand access to our own communities and our own cultures, and we demand access to knowledge of our people’s history!
We demand meaningful employment and an end to sub-minimum wage for all disabled people.
The way we move is political, and we demand freedom from all pressures to “behave” in accordance with neurotypical standards. Embrace the stim!
We must commit to cross-disability solidarity and cross-movement solidarity.
#ActuallyAutistic people are the REAL experts on Autism.

i’ve been struggling to come up w/ what disco elysium is about for people who want to get into it cause. it’s a post soviet depression simulator. it’s a bisexual man who has amnesia so bad he forgot what being gay means. it’s about that man having amnesia so bad because he tried to kill himself by going on a three day bender. it’s the funniest game i’ve ever played. it’s the most deeply profound game i’ve ever played. a central character to the theming is a big bug. i think fundamentally, disco elysium is a game about living in a world without hope and choosing to survive but that’s kinda hard to say when part of “living without hope and choosing to survive” also encompasses taking psychic damage and dying after a kid calls you a fag
I want to [remembers that suicide jokes only further damage my mental health] fuck you like an animal
You know how Viktor sometimes gets this superpower, when he can just ignore the fact that he can’t move without a cane or a crutch?
People with mobile disability do not forget about their pain. And I believe people with any other don’t do either, but I can only speak for the mobile type. We do not fuck through it because the sex is so great. We groan and stop having sex in the middle because with pain it sucks. Our dicks go soft and our vulvas dry out at the pang of pain, especially when it comes in the spine/legs area.
Our partners have to be mindful, careful, present and attentive. They don’t get the luxury of losing themselves, they have to listen, observe and pay attention because a lot of things can be misread during sex. They have to make sure we are alright after.
Did you ever get a cramp during sex? Multiply it by an impossible number and then it’s still probably not good enough.
So yeh, Viktor can’t just abandon his cane and lift someone up. He will probably drop his cane by accident and then lean his entire body weight on you. ‘His leg hurt but he ignored it because the pleasure overwhelmed the pain’. No bitch, he fucking pulled out and asked for a breather, his dick flopped and now he needs a cuddle. Own it. It’s HUMAN. It’s cool. It’s beautiful.
Write about his cane, make it good looking, make the crutch in the colours of house Tallis, describe the braces, I wanna read it! It’s not boring!
And for the record - this is not an angry rant, I just have a big mouth. Love you all people who create art and send it to the world, it’s awesome. Don’t be afraid to explore something you don’t know, just imagine yourself when you had the worst flu of your life, the worst food poisoning of your life, when you were so hungover you wanted to cut off your head, when you fell off your bike and your ass hurt for a week and think if you wanted to have wild sex on the floor. Nah.
