That’s Me To A T

Mmmm... Yes, that says why I am a winter woman

— W i n t e r is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the t o u c h of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.

Ah so romantic

Improve your chew! [Image description: There’s a very handsome but sad looking teddy bear to the right. Next to him are two bottles of essential oils: one of them is grapefruit and the other is cardamom. In front of the bottles is a chewable necklace: it’s in the shape of a pink fox curled up cozy for a peaceful snooze. End of image description] Chews carefully! I wanted to chew, but could not get used to the lack of flavor. So here’s my news: I found I can put a drop of essential oil and rub it over the chew toy. These are my favorites: grapefruit and cardamom. You might also like peppermint. Be careful to test a drop of the oil maybe on the back of your hand to make sure you are not allergic to anything in it. And I advise using only a drop per toy; even then, probably wipe it with a paper towel, since the oils are not designed for eating! Added benefit: you get some aroma therapy if you are placing oil on a chewable necklace. Teddy bears are optional, but highly recommended

Thoughtful response

Can someone please explain how autism is something that is good?

Like…. I have a hearing loss that is super significant in my life and I am slowly losing the rest of my hearing and its actually awful because one day I will not be able to wake up and listen to music to start my day.

My hearing loss is a bad thing, its a disability.

I want answers. I have been socially brought up to view autism as this terrible thing that makes things harder for that person. I have been brought up to look at it like its Down Syndrome, that it will definitely fuck up the rest of those peoples lives and it will be very hard for them to live on their own.

I need to know why society thinks its bad and tumble thinks its good.

I need to understand.

i’m not sure if it’s just me but when you go out and talk to strangers and you’re like ‘hah maybe i’m getting better at this whole socialising thing’.

then you get home and literally feel like you need to sleep for 10 hours and think ‘maybe not’

hyperfixation: *jaws theme*

“One of the key aspects of the experience of being autistic is that of having a ‘spiky’ or ‘uneven’ set of abilities and capacities. It is the feeling of many on the spectrum however, that this spiky profile is often unrecognised by service providers and support workers.

Verbal ‘autistic people’ are often incorrectly assumed to be capable in areas in which they struggle, whilst those with less verbal skills are often incorrectly assumed to be lacking in skills, ‘strengths’, ability or potential.”
