Image #2: Tumblr tags reading: #tv characters with autism always seem to carry this unshakeable confidence in themselves #like they've never been truly rejected by people they care about #whereas every autistic person i know myself included #has at some point had to internalise the message 'there is a line at which point people will get sick of you.' #this line is invisible and you don't know which of your natural behaviours push you closer to that line #and which are fine to do and help build relationships #so you had a childhood of just be constantly surprised when suddenly you find the line #and it's a bad surprise because now you've lost something or someone you care about and it's your fault #you might not be able to get it back either - you just have to accept that life is like stumbling through a minefield in the dark #sometimes you'll get to the other end. sometimes you'll lose an arm or a leg. and you have no idea which or when. #and this means that a lot of us do the logical thing and don't move #we don't socialise we don't stand out we don't show any sliver of personality in case that's the step that blows us up #we toe the ground so carefully hoping we'll be able to pick up on the danger before we die from it #but there'll always be those you don't see coming #and then you end up lonely and people tell you to make friends you have to be yourself #being yourself is synonymous with deciding to just start running. you know you *could* in theory do it. #but your body's so aware of the danger it physically won't let you #so what now? /End ID]

me:
this is probably insane but um... i made my favorite exhibit at the museum i work at into a robot girl. her name is B.T. Brainstem and she is here to teach you about the wonders of the human brain
sometimes i think about how sokka literally invented submarines and how aang is literally the avatar but when the both of them put their braincells together, they come up with ideas like writing a letter to katara from toph
