Please be autistic, I have patience.
I don’t have autism but I watched the show Patience.
People say kiss me I’m Irish, but nobody says Irish me I’m kiss
I say “I’m also French; slip a little tongue in there, too”
Ire me I’m kissish*
Really? Everybody always says that?
Casually ableist content creators say it for content.
No one ever says this.
yeah.
me (autistic) when my friend (autistic) infodumps at me for an hour about their special interest
One of my favourite things in life is listening to my autistic friends infodump on me
It is the only dumping on me that I will allow
I’m working on adding to my vocabulary:
“Please be yourself.”
Oh I love that! I can think of a couple of people in my life who need to hear this more. Thank you!
Nobody says that. I think that’s just you.
I have seen it on shirts before, I think it’s a regular slogan in the ABA approved “autism treatment” complex. I think ABA / Autism Speaks / corporate autism advocacy in general is pretty slimy, and I think this phrase is situational at best and can be really harmful when it’s foisted upon people by their caregivers. It’s literally labeling people.
Etsy has a lot of hats with that phrase on it, though it’s unclear how much of that is edgy ironic humor vs. a genuine attempt at an accessibility aid. While I was there I was unfortunately introduced to this monstrosity and I thought I’d share:
CW: unholy American Nationalism / Autism Speaks hybrid
I just… sometimes t-shirt designs really make me wonder whether just anybody should be allowed to make them.
Go outside and talk to people, sweetie.
I’ve only ever heard the phrase online, and only as a joke. And I’m outside on occasion! Hope this helps
it did not
I do, sweetie. What about you, are you sure those are real people you’re talking with? Aside from the grocery cashier, of course.
yeah
One day my autistic brethren shall rule this Earth.
I cannot think of anything that would be more annoying than having to rule. My hope is thatone day everyone’s smart enough to not need rulers.
And while we’re at it, I also want to unicorn and a pony.
I do think that is a common autistic ideal of governance lol
The ideal that a well ran system doesn’t need active interference or rulership.

If you like a society of people smart enough to not need rulers you should try anarchy
Careful what you wish for… I’m interested in certain types of monologues, but some are boring or even annoying, and some might even be in bad faith which gets old fast.
