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.

Get the Autistic mug.A common disease found among people who suck dick at drawing, painting, stamping, or any other artistic variation. Sufferers may find themselves sucking dick at one specific type of artistic endeavor, but being not too bad or even good at another. In the worst cases, sufferers just suck dick at everything art-related no matter how much effort they put forth. A very good justification for being fucking terrible at anything art-related. Similar to artistically challenged, just a better excuse.
Person A:"Dude, your photography skills are amazing! But what's that piece of shit painting you created over there?"
Person B: "Don't criticize that, I suffer from partial artistiphism."
Teacher: "Johnny, your work is complete shit. You're getting a D in art class."
Student: "Teacher, you can't give me a D! I suffer from acute artistiphism!"
Doctor: "I'm sorry, but no matter how much effort you put into art, you will always suck ass dick. You suffer from artistiphism."
