It is an unspoken rule that if a little kid is hiding under a blanket or couch cushions, you are required to comment on how lumpy the blanket is and pretend to sit on it to try and “smooth it out.”
Also, if you’re playing hide-and-seek with them, it is critical that you search every other possible (and impossible) hiding spot, all the while wondering out loud how they managed to disappear just like magic, before walking right past their hiding spot.
And if a baby starts playing peekaboo you are required to act surprised when they show their face again
If a kid hands you a phone, you answer it
Hear me out here: autistic Little Sisters.
– Little Sisters that have echolalia and it’s why they repeat the same few phrases over and over.
– Little Sisters that stim by playing with the string of their dress, twirl their hair, and tap their little feet.
– Little Sisters that happily flap their arms when they see Delta/their Big Daddy because they’re so excited to see them.
– Delta and other Big Daddies knowing just what to do when they have a sensory overload episode.
– Tenenbaum, being autistic herself, develops a kinship with them because she knows exactly what it’s like and has stim toys with her at all times.
– Little Sisters explaining their special interests to Delta, and Sinclair since he’s technically listening in, as they ride on the former’s back. Some girls are into trains, others Disney Princesses, butterflies, and one girl is absolutely obsessed with the Circus of Values because her special interest are clowns.
– Delta is an avid listener.
– Little Sisters seem to have a schedule so they do pretty well and get used to it. The sudden change of environment, sounds, and loss of their routine can cause an overload, but I feel like it would do the same for a neurotypical child.

Quebec set to pass law banning face coverings for anyone receiving public service — even a bus ride
The bill, Vallée said, is unlike the PQ’s failed values charter in that it doesn’t target religious symbols. The law would also apply, for instance, to masked protesters.
“We’re talking about having the face uncovered. It’s not what is covering the face,” she said.
Yeah, no. Call us when it’s -40 out and people aren’t allowed on the bus til they’ve unwrapped their scarves, removed their hoods and (god forbid) peeled off balaclavas.
(heads up @allthecanadianpolitics this garbage again)
Also, what about people who have influenza and wear a medical mask to prevent contaminating others? Or what about those who cover their lower face because they have reduced immune systems? Under the law, people would need to keep their faces uncovered the whole time while receiving public services; they can’t just show their face and cover it back.
On top of being discriminatory, this law also represents a health risk.

When you are Deaf and you try to listen to music but it is weather news…. 😦
This is so CUTE they’re so cute I’m mad
[Video shows two people in a car, headbanging away. The radio is playing the weather. An older person waves to them from outside of the car until they look over. The person signs, “This is news!”
The two people in the car nod kind of confused, lloking at the elder for confirmation. They both put their heads in their hands, kind of grimace, and turn the radio off.
They’re wincing a bit as they drive away.

new idea: hell chess
- all the basic rules are the same like playstyle wise
- trash talking is encouraged
- you get as much time as you need but if you look away from the board your turn is over
- the referee is yelling everything like a sports announcer and you cannot complain
- you can take one of your pieces from the board and throw it at your opponents head but you sacrifice that piece
- you have to name the king and queen something
fun additives to make the game unique:
- a. close your eyes and reach into a bag of about 48 chess pieces to pull out your sixteen pieces. whatever you get is what you play and you must follow the rules of those chess pieces. if you get four queens good luck. if you get no queens good luck
- b. the referee can decide to throw in as many checkers pieces as a time as they please, as long as equal pieces are distributed to both players. the players are now not only playing chess but also checkers on the same board.
Since this has gotten so many notes I feel obligated to tell y’all that I’ve never played a game of chess in my life. I don’t. I don’t even know what a rook is.
With the Light + happy stimming
[Images from the Manga ‘With the Light,’ showing the main Autistic character stimming by waving his hands, flapping his arms, twirling, swaying, and hopping.]
Inktober Day 6, M’gann M’orzz.
She is forever my favourite fictional character to draw.
there’s something endlessly hilarious to me about the phrase “hotly debated” in an academic context. like i just picture a bunch of nerds at podiums & one’s like “of course there was a paleolithic bear cult in Northern Eurasia” and another one just looks him in the eye and says “i’l kill you in real life, kevin”
