Autism

autostraddle

Autostraddle (sometimes abbreviated as ASS or A/S) is a website for women of non-hetero orientations that features articles and images on different topics that are of concern to non-heterosexual women such as gender politics, feminism, sexuality, gay rights, etc.
The term itself is something of a joke to its readers which is essentially straddling something or someone, or humping said object/individual.
Person 1: I found the BEST article about being genderqeer on Autostraddle today! It was so informative.

Autism Swarm Dynamics

Autism swarm dynamics is the act when one person, typically a young child a school, does something autistic and all his friends follow suit. This forms a “meme-like” culture over that thing, thus the idea itself moved amongst the social structure like a swarm. It spreads and burrows itself into the psyche of the human mind, thus forming a behavioural pattern which is seen to some as “autistic”.

The phrase serves as a name for everyone following random @everyone ping in discord communities, first diagnosed by StemmedAxis06#2372.
In #announcements on discord.gg/thegalacticrepublic server, admin StemmedAxis06 pinged everyone with the word "Bababoey". This was an autistic thing to do as it had 0 contextual preface in this server that was well known, as well as not being a proper announcement. However, autistic children are very similar in brain patterns to Redditors. And we (discord members) are all Redditors. The everyone bababoey meme spread to the other staff and then the group leaders in their own announcement channel. Because of great Autism Swarm Dynamics influence, the meme continues to appear in various text channels.

Autism Acceptance

When people recognize that autism and disability are a part of the human diversity. When people understand that autistics are no different than everyone else. When people find support groups and accommodations that help autistics become the best people they can be. When people are OK with working with autistics instead of trying to "cure" them. When people understand that they need to have patience when interacting with autistics. When people celebrate and are proud of who autistics are.

Autism Acceptance centers the voices of autistics. It celebrates the autistic culture, and tells people that autistics are valuable to families, communities, and to the entire world exactly as they are EVERY SINGLE DAY (not just on the month of April). Autism Acceptance is when people create a better, more fair, and more inclusive world for everyone (with and without autism).
I appreciate it when people support Autism Acceptance because it shows that they truly respect and care about those who have autism, like me.

When people understand that I don't need a cure for autism because they accept who I am as a person, not only does it make everyone's lives better and easier, but it makes the world a much better place.
