Autism Speaks is a hate group.
The reasoning behind “Light It Up Blue” (that there are more autistic boys than girls) stems from a tendency in doctors to base their autism diagnoses on stereotypes and sometimes refuse to diagnose girls.
Most autistic people don’t want a “cure” for autism and don’t support Autism Speaks.
Autism Speaks has given abusive/ableist parents legitimacy by portraying autism as a terrifying, life-ruining affliction and sympathising with parents who have contemplated killing their children, or actually killed them.
The views of autistic people are more important in this topic than the views of our allistic family members and peers.
Autism is not a disease.
Very little (about 4%) of Autism Speaks’ proceeds go toward supporting autistic people. More of it goes toward catering.
Autism is not a tragedy.
What autistic people need is acceptance, not awareness.
hi! sorry if i become annoying but i wanted to ask if you could tell more about your tmnt au, it looks really interesing and i wanna know more!!
YESSS HI HERES SOME STUFF ABOUT MY TURTLEZZZ!!!! WUT DO U THINK
Do you have a dynamic along the turtle siblings yet in marcid youth? Like ages and stuff? (it’s ok if not, you just asked people to asked questions and I’d like to hear about anything from your tmnt au!!!)
I do actually, venus is the oldest(18) and the rest of her brothers are 16. venus is basically raising her brothers since splinter's getting too old to wrangle them. mikey is like if you gave a toddler espresso. he's unhinged. he bit his brothers up until age ten. raph is like rise raph but if you gave him bpd and autism. leo is a mess. he does not know how to cook, he can't farm, animals hate him, he's constantly a nervous wreck and copes with it by acting like a massive dickhead. donnie is quiet and plotting the death of his enemies.
it's a lot to deal with when they're all mentally ill and dealing with the fact that mikey set the bed on fire again
all the tmnt aus and reiterations and single handedly keeping my tmnt hyperfixation alive and for that i thank you
I just really want to say that the BLM movement is not a 2020 disaster by any means. I know a lot of ppl keep saying that this year keeps getting worse but I think that black voices finally being heard is a sign of improvement
Hi! I’m the creator of the turtles of the hour iteration here to wish you luck in the upcoming competition!!
Text reads: Raph made friendship beanies!
(dialogue below the cut!) Don't worry, they say stuff like that to each other all the time.. They love the beanies though, Mikey especially! (it's actually so weird for me to call them that aksjka)
Raph likes to wear hats in really weird ways ok
Nardo: Hm. Hey Michelangeloner! Here's your chance to finally make friends Mikey: *gasp* Are those friendship toques?! Raph: He said beanie, stupid Don: They're the same thing, dingus. In Canada we call them toques though Raph: Nerd Don: Noob
aaand almost forgot to tag- @tmnt-iteration-competition
Reticent info!
The last one applies more to instagram but same with my tumblr ask box!!! :D
My friend @eveningsummerstars did all the handwriting as mine is absolutely awful jghhkjhgjhg- she apologises for the slanted handwriting but I think it slays 💪💪💪💪
idk why the quality is so bad but i think it really adds to the message
anyways, vote donnie or else <3
@autismswagsummit
In need of names for my TMNT au! Please suggest any if you’ve got an idea!!! Asks are on or comment or send a message! I have an idea but I’m still debating on whether it’s too stupid 😅😅
Im also thinking of doing little snippets of story or rants similiar to the way the colorcoded au creator does because I’m not the best at drawing action even if I’m trying to learn and practise
I might end up just doing it anyway lol, BUT some of the story will be revealed soon I know that
One of the next posts will be the full marking references promise <333 I just don’t wanna draw the last one right now haha
Have some doodles to stave you off for now!
Have finally read Last Ronin, it killed me, but it's the first actual tmnt comic l've read, very good.
Then I thought about how (as far as I'm aware) the official comics have yet to have an actual seperated storyline, so I took up the challenge to try and make a seperated tmnt AU similar in style to the darker IDW and Last Ronin comics cuz l've been experimenting with tons of styles lately
Very bare bones right now, but these sketches show the different groups the story focuses on: Jennika and Raph, cuz I have yet to tackle a sister character for the turtles in any of my stories.
Tang Shen, Karai, and Mikey cuz Tang Shen deserved better and I like the idea of the turtles having some kind of mother figure.
Donnie, Casey, and April. Think they've only met a bit recently as Donnie was more of a scavenger before stumbling upon April's shop or something.
Finally Leo and Shredder cuz we needed some edgy pairing, so here's the classic. I wanted to avoid this cuz it was so obvious, but it's classic and someone needs to end up with a villain, so here we go.
Splinter is still part of the plot, just kind of MIA. Hope you enjoy and I'll get more of this AU out soon (not abandoning any of my others, my brain just won't stop pumping out ideas).
lou wilson is unironically a national treasure and i’d fucking die for him.
[Begin Image ID. Four images: The first is Lou Wilson, a fat Black man with dreads tied back into a short low ponytail and a goatee, wearing a blue plaid short-sleeve button-down shirt over a tie-dyed tee shirt, smiling as he raises his hand to his mouth. The second, Lou Wilson sitting in front of a green screen of a jungle background, a rock and tree to his right, and a bright spray of sunlight to his left, looking down and to the left with a furrowed brow. The third, Lou Wilson looking at the interviewer behind a camera, in front of the same background, smiling slightly. The fourth, a slightly closer angle on Lou Wilson, his brow furrowed and a smile on his lips. The subtitles on the four images, in order: “There’s so much in my life where I play it pretty cool, that if I have the opportunity to get nasty, well, are we gonna stay clean? Why’d they put this mud out if not for us to roll in it?” End Image ID.]
