There IS better autism research they could be doing, like trying to discover other medications that help with sensory issues and quality of life problems and trying to get better childhood diagnosis rates for autistic girls. But no, the decades long useless search to find out what causes autism and how to eliminate it continues. The push for “autism research” is never really about how to make things better for autistic people, it’s about how to make autistic people stop existing and that is nottttt possible. But they’ll continue to fixate on it.
Today's the last day of April, and to belatedly celebrate my birthday I'd like to share a comic with you: it's about getting revenge against the people who wronged you, and it's called Werewolf's Lament.
Werewolf's Lament is printed with florescent orange and mint risograph inks on light brown paper; cut and folded in the shape of a wolf. Physical copies are for sale in my online shop.

Fear is not the same as power.
Okay. You made someone scared of you. Cool. Now what?
Do you think that makes you powerful? Do you think it put you above them in some way?
Do you think that you can harm them with fear alone?
Fear can't harm you.
And once you know that, it's a lot easier not to be afraid.

About my systemmate & this blog
My systemmate follows from dualita and used this as their main blog until April 2025. We changed that because the two of us wanted to follow separate people. I took over this one because I'm more active and I already followed a bunch of people on this account for my side blog. I still post there, but mostly just art reblogs now.
Tagging system
#gen415 - personal
#ref - reference (mostly longer posts)
#for someone - age regression
#sys shit - system related reblogs mostly
Dissociative amnesia is most often retrograde! This is why lots of people don't realize that they have more severe amnesia than they think.
What I mean by this is let's say your persecutor part switches in and says some horrible stuff. It's not necessarily that you (whoever was fronting before/the host) weren't there for those actions, but rather after the fact, the brain compartmentalizes those memories to stay with the persecutor part.
And adding onto this it can be localized, selective, or generalized (which is what often clues people in that something is seriously wrong and often only occurs during times of severe stress)
While dissociative amnesia can be anterograde (blocking the formation of new memories) that is seen more in dissociative fugue states or during active trauma.
sometimes disability accommodations arent what you think. sometimes its letting the weird people, well, be weird. letting them carry stuffed animals around, wear things you dont normally see, be loud/quiet, speak in odd manners, spell things wrong, all of it without backlash or harrassment.
and thats okay. its not just the big, important things that a lot of us NEED to function, like interpreters or ramps. sometimes the small things can make a difference too, no matter how “strange” or “distracting” they are.
if its not harming you or someone else its not a problem. its making someones life easier or less miserable.

Questioning plural culture is “even if im not actually a system or plural it’s really comforting to relate thoughts and emotions to not me.” Like I can’t describe it. Like I’m probably not a system I just find comfort in having an entity to relate stuff to
