 Cuando la pandemia comenzó, una de las primeras cosas que se dijeron fue que habrían clases en linea. A algunos, con razones más que válidas, les pareció una condena, pero, a mi me pareció espléndido. Ya no habría tanbto ruido, ni necesidad de encajar, podía ponerme lo que me gustara... era, sin duda alguna, algo fantástico.  Al principio estaba nerviosa. No sabía como organizaría todo el tiempo que tenía en mis manos. Pero luego me di cuenta que tener tanto tiempo era algo fantástico: Aprendí cosas que no enseñaban en los colegios, reflexioné sobre mi identidad y conocí gente maravillosa. No habían tantas presiones de soportar ruidos incómodos, socializar con gente que simplemente no parecía aceptarme, o de hacer trabajos en los cuales iba a tener que poner toda mi energía emocional (la cual sabía que no sería premiada). De este modo, me sentía menos estresada y no sentía los terribles efectos del eccema o la dermatitis debido al estrés. Tenía menos dolor, y me sentía bien c...

 Not so long ago, performance artist, singer and songwriter Sia anounced she would release a movie called "Music", about a nonspeaking Autistic girl with the same name as the movie. And who do you think got the main role? MADDIE ZIEGLER, WHO IS THE STAR OF EVERY OF SIA'S MUSIC VIDEOS, AND IS NEUROTYPICAL TO THE MAX. Many Autistic people criticized the choice. Sia gave these answers: "Maybe you're just a bad actor" "Grr fuckity fuck why don't you see the movie?" "Bullshit. You weren't there and of course you haven't seen the movie". Anne Hathaway apologized for her "The Witches" Character's limb difference. Sia, on the other hand, seems to not be interested in "Impact vs Intent", which is sad knowinbg she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, really common in Autistic people.  This really immature answers aren't all that's wrong with SIA. Maddie herself said she is unomfortable with the role, however, Sia ...

 Hace poco, Sia, la cantante, dijo que sacaría una película sobre una niña Autista no hablante, llamada "Music". ¿Y quien creen que se quedó con el papel principal? MADDIE ZIEGLER, QUIEN APARECE EN CADA VIDEO DE SIA. Y ES NEUROTÍPICA HASTA MÁS NO PODER. Mucha gente Autista criticó esta decisión. Sia, por su parte, dio respuestas tan variadas como: "Tal vez eres mala actriz". "Grrr jodido joderrrr porque no ves la película antes?"  "Tu opinión es una mierda. No estuviste ahí (en el casting) y ni haz visto la puta película".  Anne Hathaway se disculpó por la diferencia límbica de su personaje en "Las Brujas", en cambio, Sia parce no entender de "Intento vs Impacto", lo cual es terrible dado que Sia tiene Síndrome de Ehlers-Danlos, muy común en Autistas. Esas respuestas, muy inmaduras, por cierto, no son lo único malo con Sia. La misma Maddie ha dicho que ella se siente incómoda con el papel, sin embargo, Sia dijo que poner a alg...

 Sometimes i would stim at school (we've already talked about stims) and then, the therapist or my parents would tell me to appear more "normal"... NOW I KNOW THAT WAS A REALLY GARBAGE TAKE... WHAT'S NORMAL ANYWAYS? FOR ME... NORMAL IS A BAD WORD.  Normal, is, first thing first, A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. For many Indigenous communities around the world, going topless was normal, even if you were a woman. That is, until colonizers came. But the colonizers are to blame, not Indigenous people. What i'm saying is: There's no exact definition of what exactly constitutes "normalcy".  Of course, the concept of "normalcy" is not just racist: It is VERY, VERY ABLEIST. Let's say you stim: People will tell you off, asking you to act "normal". But these people never wonder why you stim(we've talked about that before), and therefore, think it just has to be a bad thing, because they haven't ever seen it. And it's ok. Through evolutio...

 We've talked about how She-Ra gives us hope, about how Catra is a victim of multiple abuse...  Now, we'll talk abou that princess who redeemed an intergalactic conqueror with her love... That princess who, behin her ethically grey actions, hid a great desire of being apreciated with all and her diferences... Yes... Today, we'll talk about our dear Entrapta. I think she's the best Autistic rep until now. They even got an Autistic writer for her.  She is a somewhat lonely girl, a tech lover, but... she isn't that good with people.  And that's when Hordak comes along. He also feels like a failure, knowing he'll be euthanized becausae of his nerve damage. She's the first to understand what he feels like, BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN TREATED LIKE THAT. I MEAN, THEY PUT HER ON A LEASH. That's how they develop a relationship, between two souls sharing Ableist Discrimination and love for tech.  Many raise eyebrows at this relationship. They think: How could a wom...

Haven't you ever been chilling on the couch all day, and suddenly you remember: NOOO I GOTTA WASH MY CLOTHES... Sounds "UGHHH", doesn't it? Specially when you're mentally ill and always tired, like Mermista (we'll talk about her ableist views in a minute).  [Image description: Mermista puts her hands in her forehead, closes her eyes and says "Ugh!"] Why does this happen? Because a thing so small... CAN BE QUITE OVERWHELMING! We see tiny steps such as "getting to laundry room" and "putting clothes in"... IT'S TOO MUCH!! So yeah, that's why we don't do it.

 Yo roleaba como Entrapta... Aunque no quiero recordar a la persona con la que lo hacía, debo recordar que la intimidad era parte clave de mi rol, pues trataba de nterpretar, junto al chico que interpretaba a Hordak (y que, pensaba, en ese momento, que no era CompHet) (no importa,  Hordak está pagando por sus acciones)a una pareja Discapacitada y empoderada (de nuevo, el autismo ES una discapacidad) que le quería enseñar a los Etherianos que la gente Disca puede y tendrá momentos íntimos (y no momentos internos, ya hemos visto porque, la intimidad es para la prócima vez). Incluso en ese tipo de rol, stimmeaba. Hacía "ruiditos", movía mi cabeza, aleteaba... Nunca he tenido intimidad en la vida real, pero siento que, definitivamente, stimearía en esas practicas (sobre todo ahora que supe quien soy y con quien lo quiero hacer). Lo hago cuando se me cumplen mis antojos alimenticios, ¿porque no hacerlo ahí?  Pero, ¿Qué rayos es un stim? Bueno, son esas pequeñas acciones que TO...
