i am allowed to identify however i want.
each autistic person is allowed to identify however they want.
even if that identification have been used by ableist society to harm autistics.
because autistic individuals who identify THEMSELVES that way are not the problem.
—particular more marginalized members of the autistic community. because we have been pushed aside, ignored, and policed by the dominant, most visible members of the autistic community for so long.
as an apraxic semispeaking autistic of color with mid-high support needs, the language used by the online autistic community frequently does not include experiences like mine. sometimes they are not coined, defined, or used with us in mind.
we are allowed to identify however way we want without being accused of “just having internalized ableism.”
allistic neurotypical society forcibly reducing autistic people into “high functioning” and “low functioning” to either deny our access needs or take away our agency is the problem. THAT is what we are fighting against.
someone who grew up being labeled as “low functioning” who finds this term more accurate for themselves than any of the terms deemed more acceptable by the online autistic community, who does not use functioning labels on others who don’t identify as that, people like that are not the problem. they should not be your enemy.
psychiatry defining us only by our deficits and the burden we place on our family, education system, and the rest of society is the problem. them creating a moral hierarchy based off of that is the problem.
autistics who rather label themselves as “level 2” or “level 3” as per the DSM-5 rather than levels of support needs are not.
the same for those of us who still choose to call ourselves “moderate,” “severe,” or “profound.”
this is not the same as someone insisting on saying they have asperger’s even though they know the bloody, loaded, violent, and eugenic history behind the diagnosis. aspie supremacists refuse the term “autism” because they want to separate themselves from “those people”—those of us who are more visibly autistic, who have higher support needs, who are seen as more “severe” and thus “shameful.” they believe they are superior.
those of us marginalized autistics who choose to use these terms for ourselves: we are not pushing these labels onto other autistics who don’t want them. we are not saying these terms aren’t problematic when weaponized by the ableist institutions in our society. we are not saying we are superior than autistics who don’t label themselves like we do.
we are, however, asking the more visible members of the community to listen to us and uplift us instead of gatekeeping and debating with us about our own experiences—experiences they may not have even though they are also autistic.
dear the more visible members of the actually autistic community: you do not create these community narratives with the more marginalized autistics like us in mind, yet you deem them as the only acceptable terms that are allowed to be used. yet you insist on us using them. yet you police our language. you say autism is not a monolith, yet when we does not fit into your narrow understanding of what autism is—white, mostly verbal, late diagnosed, can live independently, low support needs, and so much more left unsaid—you ridicule us and see us as a stereotype, shameful, problematic, or simply does not exist.
will that really bring you liberation?

tl;dr: semi/nonspeaking, high support needs, autistics of color, etc., marginalized autistics are allowed to identify however they want even if it conflicts with how the most visible members of the autistic community views autism.

(note: language is really confusing for me. i am weirdly simultaneously hyperlexic. the way i write here is the most accessible way for me to write long paragraphs. i apologize for any accessibility issue, i tried to alleviate that by bolding important parts and including a tldr.)
Day 2 and 3
What does your url mean...
I am fully aware that it’s not leviOsa spelled with “un”. It’s not perfect in it’s imperfection and honestly, that’s what I am aiming for with that url... Sometimes my notes a beautiful mess and sometimes they are just a mess! Hell, sometimes I am a mess. University life is... Well, it's adult life. Never expected it to be easy, but it's coming together. Still looking for a job and it kind of sucks. Gotta love those entry level jobs that want like 5 years of experience, driving license and 3 references, am i rite?
I wish I could wear cute skirt and a white shirt, but how do you do that if you need to clean the house before leaving? How do you go to coffee shops and not starve later, bc... y’know... money? How do you get into "a zone" if there is a person who needs you and who needs a dinner? I wish I could be a cute distaster in a messy bun and wearing an oversized sweater, but honestly - not within my reach.
...and why did you start your studyblr?
I want people to remember that if you study and work and need to care for another person, you are still VALID. If you do this, while being an anxiety filled mess, you are still VALID. Hell, even if your grades aren't great, you are still VALID. If your notes aren’t cute, if you scribble on your papers, if you cross out words instead of using correction tape. It's alright. You are doing your best, your work is just as valuable. It took me so long to feel like I belong with community living... The Life™. I eventually realized that my notes just won’t be perfect and it’s alright. They need to be good enough. And I feel like people need to hear this.
My desk is just not big enough to fit in a notebook and a laptop at the same time. My laptop itself is dying during video-calls bc of the processor. My house is fucking cold, because we can't afford heating and i’m seating curled up under a blanket. My back hurts. I will be able to afford stationary i want in the future life (altho yellow highlighter is kind of a vibe???), maybe, but for now I am struggling to afford a bus ticket. They lost my student ID and i don’t know when will it come to me. I had to pay 5 pounds for a T-shirt I didn’t like. And then I came home and studied hard, because honestly - if shit can’t be perfect, it can at least be good enough.
PS. One of my new friends offered to give me a few of his colorful gel pens and honestly - I aspire to be this level of kind <3
