Today is #AutismAcceptanceDay and I think its important to let you all know that I& #39;m autistic. I was diagnosed with Asperger& #39;s somewhere around 2004.

From my experience, I feel like I want to express myself and do things, but get too nervous to speak up out of fear of ridicule
I tend to raise my voice uncontrollably when I talk, even though I never try to be mean at all. That& #39;s just who I am.

I tend to follow a routine each and every day, like many people. However, whenever it gets disrupted, I get a lot of anxiety from it. It& #39;s not fun at all.
So much so that it makes me feel like I don& #39;t want to do anything. Drastic routine disruptions, such as what& #39;s going on right now makes me become an easily distracted bird.

In times like these, it& #39;s difficult to get used to change, but I& #39;m trying my best to do so.
However, being autistic does have benefits as I tend to be hyperfocused in strange or interesting subjects such as local TV news and TV markets.

I have a YT channel where I upload stuff like local news open compilations and such, which I& #39;ll be making a statement about later.
I also have a habit of tapping or slapping my legs when I listen to old news music, network image campaigns, or just general music that& #39;s a banger

To an extent, I pretty much live a normal life, but my brain just works differently. Autism doesn& #39;t make me more stupid than others
You may be wondering why I have a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź’™" title="Blue heart" aria-label="Emoji: Blue heart"> in my bio. I chose to have a blue heart in my bio because it represents who I am as a person. Not only am I autistic, but I& #39;m also someone who wants to be as caring and wholesome as possible.
I do acknowledge that the Autism Speaks uses a blue puzzle piece, but I& #39;m also aware they& #39;re not a good organization at all. They think it& #39;s something that& #39;s "fixable" with something like eugenics. Like, what the heck?
The https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź’™" title="Blue heart" aria-label="Emoji: Blue heart"> in my bio is a symbol I made for myself that means much more than just me being autistic and as such, it& #39;ll stay put. However, it is in no way me being supportive of that heinous group. Screw them.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♾" title="Infinity" aria-label="Emoji: Infinity"> is a much better representation for people on the spectrum like me.
That being said, there are better organizations that help out people who are actually autistic like I am. ASAN is one of those organzations. Below I have also provided a link regarding autism acceptance.

I hope this thread puts into perspective what people like me actually deal with. Autism is something that doesn& #39;t make anyone less of a person. People like me should be valued and embraced for who we are
