Autistic Lexicon Babyface Autistic babyface appears to be a combination of multiple factors including: - less frequent emoting over an entire lifetime - environmental factors - psychological - Autism co-occurring with EDS (which can cause people’s skin to look younger *or* older)

Autistic people tend to
look much younger than they are.
This starts around age 12.
They may appear 5-30 years younger than they are

For many autistic people, “picky eating” is a legitimate hard-wired sensory aversion. This means that forcing autistic people to eat aversive foods is… the wrong approach, and can make food issues even more traumatic. www.rdsforneurodiversity.com/blog/arfid-c...

We've all heard "If you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person." However, the more autistic people you meet, the more you learn about autism. Not only how autistic people are different, but how often autistic experiences are shared—even by autistic people who SEEM very unalike.

Especially when you start gaslighting yourself. Shame grows in the silence - when you don’t “look” dysregulated enough to be believed. When you collapse alone, and no one sees the crash. We don’t owe anyone proof. We don’t need to scream for it to "count". Internalized doesn’t mean imaginary.

When a meltdown is internal - quiet, hidden, invisible - people don’t see distress. So they deny it ever happened. They say you’re overreacting. Too sensitive. Too much. But internalized meltdowns are real. And the gaslighting that follows is its own trauma.

Japanese tea cups or “yunomi” are designed with no handles with the intent that people won’t burn themselves by drinking tea that’s too hot. The idea is that when it’s safe to pick up it’s good to drink.

Japan is in no way perfect, it has many flaws, but this sort of thing is fucking phenomenal and I so desperately wish we had an approximate of it becuase fuck man it sucks that so much of our lives get dictated by corporate morality

yandere-angela

i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency

in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion

butch-snorlax

How does that barcode system work? I've never heard of something like that.

yandere-angela

1. you add whatever porn games or movies or books you want to your cart and go to checkout

2. you select cash payment at conbini as your payment method

3. youre emailed a barcode that you take to the conbini

4. you show it to the cashier, they scan it, and you pay what you owe. note that the cashier does not see what youre buying

and the transaction is complete
