The self-harm Project

Reminder to everyone celebrating “Autism Awareness” today

awesometistic:

• Autism is part of who we are, it’s brilliant and it doesn’t need a cure.
  

• Allism (non-autistic) is not inherently better than autism, it’s just that the majority of people are allistic, which means the world is tailored to them, rather than to autistics.
  

• Autistic people know more about autism than parents of autistic kids.
  

• Autism Speaks is a terrible organisation that causes a lot of harm to autistic people and you shouldn’t support it.
  

• You also shouldn’t Light It Up Blue, a movement started by Autism Speaks.
  

• Labels like “high functioning” and “severe” are silly and used to divide and dismiss autistic people. Autism is a spectrum and people have a lot of different autistic “traits” - it doesn’t just go from less autistic to more autistic.
  

• Autistic people are not puzzle pieces, mysteries, or missing in any way.
  

• Anyone can be autistic, not just the stereotypical white male kid. Girls are much less likely to get a diagnosis than boys are, though.
  

• The majority of autistic people are not fond of today, as it is used by to talk over us. Please listen to us today.

Conceited vs. Confidence

cuanonymous:

Conceited

• “I look better than you.”
• “You should look more like me.”

Confidence

• “I look good.”
• “I’m not ugly.”
• “I love myself.”
• I am cute.”
• “I’m beautiful.”

Just some examples of the difference between being conceited and being confident. Get those shit straight.

Little tip!

Hi, so I know this isn’t my story but I just found something I think might be helpful. I got false nails for a party and have found that it’s really been helping my trich and derma because I can’t pull or pick with them on and I’m sure they’d be helpful with nail related BFRBs because they are a barrier meaning you can’t bite or pull. The ones I got were the really cheap ones from Boots (like a UK Walgreens) but I invested in a good glue meaning they are staying on really well. I’ve had them on for 2 days and they don’t feel like they are going to ping off or anything. Just thought this might help someone!

IMPORTANT PSA FOR APRIL FOOLS DAY

flounderyoureallyareaguppy:

April fools is a day that everyone with anxiety will cringe and fear because people decide it’s okay to be jerks. So, DO NOT DO JUMPSCARES ON PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY. I can tell you first hand how terrifying it was to have someone jump out and scare me, and they gave me a full blown panic attack. I’m sure they didn’t mean to, but you gotta be thinking about what reaction you will get. You might get a laugh from someone, or you might get a serious panic attack. So DO NOT JUMPSCARE PEOPLE WITH ANXIETY, OR PEOPLE IN GENERAL. APRIL FOOLS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO BE A JERK. Anyone with anxiety would agree that April fools is pretty much the most terrifying day of the year for them. Don’t prove them right.
