autistic

Okay, there is a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to autistic people. The REAL reason why they are so misunderstood is because people are not listening to the actual autistic people themselves when they hear about autism. Autism is typically said with a negative connotation. For this reason, people like to use autism as an insult, which would make sense if autism was actually bad. Additionally, autistic people often face some form of stigma such as ableism, or discrimination against disabled people. Think of autistic people as square pegs trying to fit into round holes. Instead of trying to change the autistic people into round pegs, try changing the holes into square holes. There is a reason why autistic people can be seen as reclusive or antisocial at times. It is because they know about the bad things people do to each other.

Embrace autistic people whenever you can, and they will take you to places you’ve never been to before.

I’m actually autistic myself, so this is why I wrote this definition. I hope you have learned at least a little from it.

Automatic toilet

The scariest type of toilet there is. You sit down and begin the process only to be interrupted by an extremely loud ROUOUOUOUOUSH and cold toilet water splashing up on you. There is no way to escape the dreaded red eye indicator on the back of the toilet.

1. Holy crap that automatic toilet got me soaked!
2. I won't use an automatic toilet because I am scared it will flush while I am sitting and I will run out of the stall with my pants down screaming my head off.

Autistic

Descriptive noun form of autism/ASD, a neurodevelopomental disorder that can feature differences in how someone navigates social interactions, and differences on how we experience physical stimuli (also known as Sensory Processing Disorder, or SPD).

Autism isn’t necessarily *characterised* by sensory-regulating behaviours (also called stims), and while body-stims like rocking and flapping are fairly common, they aren’t defining characteristics nor is stimming harmful in any capacity (with minor exceptions). We’re also fairly highly represented among BFRB populations,

We don’t all approach social situations the same way either. some of us are nonverbal, others hyper-verbal; one autistic might seek physical contact while another might be repulsed by it. What we’re okay with can also vary depending on the situation or how we feel, we’re people.
We aren’t any more monolithic than allistic folks; if you want to know if we’re comfortable with something, ask us.

Don’t get offended if Riley doesn’t make eye contact with you, they’re autistic.

Squad Automatic Weapon

Aka Section Automatic Weapon or Squad Assault Weapon. A usually light or general purpose machine guns designed to give army personnel cover while advancing and also to help keep enemy forces from returning fire. Originally designed for increased mobility from the Heavy tripod mounted machine guns of the WWI era. They were designed as an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed light support weapon capable of delivering sustained automatic fire for periods of time which assault rifles could not support due to overheating and lack of accuracy.

The Canadian Soldiers were using their C9A2 Squad Automatic Weapon to suppress the Taliban insurgents.
