Being Offended About Misrepresentations Of Autism is practically the title of my memoirs and i'm struggling to fire up more than three tweets worth of displeasure. this movie sounds so aggressively mediocre that even the offensiveness is passé.

i'm sorry, but i can't agree with you that they mean well. it's not just to do with whether i think they speak for me (& a lot of us prefer not to use functioning labels).

progress can feel a lot like standing still, but imagine where you'd be if you weren't fighting. it doesn't just get better magically (which i always feel is what that phrase implies), but fighting is what MAKES it get better - there are some fights you'll win hard enough that they stay won, and others that you have…

a little bit of an unfair one in places, but fuck all the people i know who care for every single cause but the disability one. fuck the fact that we got one single lecture on it on my course that is so comprehensive on other identity politics, fuck the fact that i'm literally the only one who showed up to the lecture…

that sucks. i'm sure you probably know all the advice i could give you, so i'll just send you some good wishes. it took a lot of figuring out to get there but nowadays most of the time i'm pretty happy being autistic/ADHD. there's still weeks where the whole thing is just exhausting and miserable but feeling shit isnt…

damn, that's a shame, though not a huge surprise. access to services (or lack of it) is such a huge part of living as a disabled person or a carer, i'm not sure i'd trust a show that neglects that aspect.

since you've watched this show, would be curious to know whether it deals with problems like accessing diagnosis/support from professionals, or cuts to services and funding? i'd definitely be more inclined to watch if that came up as an issue.

autistic lesbians for everyone!

i'm sorry to hear that, dude. it can be a real fucking tough time. do you have access to any support?

autism speaks is the woooorst, for a million reasons. if you're looking for more info from a trusted source, the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network is really good.

god, animated discworld would be incredible! in a perfect world i'd love like, a set of series each focusing on the different groups of characters, mostly standalone but existing in the same continuity like the DCAU did.

when i was 15 we went on a school trip to berlin by coach, which took about 20 hours so our teachers picked a couple of movies to keep us entertained. borat was the first one we watched.

oh, it's a shame they don't go into more detail. i'm going for a third reread once this semester is over and it'd be nice to go into it with a deeper understanding - i know there's a lot of written discussion online but hearing actual voices discuss it can be a lot more enlightening.

were any of the other IJ podcasts worth a listen? real point of pride for me that i've read that book (also twice!) but obviously there's just a whole ton of stuff that i missed so it'd be interesting to hear a good discussion.

"more into shtick than a funny podcast about bad movies" sums it up pretty well, actually. i feel like HDTGM falls into that trap of a group of funny people all trying to be the funniest one in the room and so it gets kind of shouty or relies on their 'roles' - like june getting a bit trapped in that clueless persona.…

happy to see WHM get some love here! what an underrated show. it's ruined other podcasts for me a bit, i can't think of another that is so consistently funny and engaging even when i don't know the material they're riffing on. this x-men week is a prime example; i don't know shit about that franchise but i never felt…

the problem is that there are very few disabled people onscreen.

my friends don't necessarily have TERRIBLE taste but i'm incredibly picky about what i watch. i'm studying film and screen at uni now, and ironically don't have time to watch a lot of stuff unless it's going to be relevant to my areas of interest for essays - and i like writing about children's media and sitcom,…
