If Your Hyperfixation Lasts Longer Than A Few Months, That's Not A Hyperfixation That Is A Special Interest/joke

If your hyperfixation lasts longer than a few months, that's not a hyperfixation that is a special interest/joke

Was wanting to try out the poll feature, and was also wondering...

Obligatory reblog for sample size

My hyperfixations range from 'I like this lol *starts foaming at mouth*' to 'this is my life. It's my gender. It's everything to me' and will last anywhere between a few hours to a few months

This just in: hyper sensitive autistic person realizes they are more hyper sensitive than first thought, starts using ear defenders and is surprised they help

I don't think someone is instantly a bad person if they have ableist behavior. Think about it, society is BUILT on ableism. We're all raised on that shit. There are examples of this in everyday life: 'good listening' habits that are beaten into us in school, sidewalks that are built on fucking hills, cities that WOULD be walkable had they installed more seating areas, etc etc the list goes on.

So it's almost natural to be some degree of ableist, even if you yourself are disabled, because it has been normalized through millions of things abled people probably wouldn't even notice. This doesn't excuse the behavior, but it's important to note that not every person is ableist out of malice.

question because i’m curious

reblog for bigger sample size etc etc
