Autism acceptance includes accepting all autistic manners of communication.

That means supporting autistic people who talk in a "very childish" way. (I do this a lot irl)

Autistic people who do "TV talking" (this means talking like a character from your favorite media,basically talking in quotes and copying their speech patterns,as far as I know)

Autistic people who use echolia.

Autistic people who are very awkward/quirky when they communicate.

Autistic people who are overly technical,or have very sophisticated and articulate speech.

Autistic people who mumble.

Autistic people who talk really fast.

Autistic people who can't control their tone of voice/inflection.

Autistic people who talk in a monotone voice.

Autistic people who use different kind of sounds,or body language to communicate.

Autistic people who talk slowly and draw out their syllables.

Autistic people who use a lot of sentance fillers.

Autistic people who use Aac devices,communication cards,etc etc.

Edit: acceptance of nonverbal autistics is also necessary. Nonverbal people deserve love,respect,acceptance,accommodation and support.

When you finally get the courage to tell someone you have autism and mfs be like “no ur not” like oh shit mb????

Diagrams are helpful to me

This morning my dad was going to pick me up from school for a doctors appointment. he thought it was 11:30 so he picked me up at 10:45. He then got. Notification on his phone that he’s late and it was at 10:30. He called to tell the doctor to say we were gonna be late and they told him that you can’t be late and to reschedule for 4. Since my dad is the best he let me stay home

When I was in preschool, if the class was good all week we would have a little “dance party” on Friday. Where the teacher would play songs and we would dance on the rug. The songs were mostly stuff like Happy by Pharrell Williams for example. But I fondly remember that for some reason my teacher decided every Friday to play Turn down for what and we would all vibe. I told my mom about it a few years ago and she said that’s not a normal song for preschoolers and then I realized how weird it was. My family still makes fun of me for it.
