Queer Autistic Anarchy neuroq***r meming and discussion

I watched Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me yesterday. It's a good documentary that required Selena to be very vulnerable with her highs and lows. The most powerful scene is in the beginning, as Selena is criticizing her performance and therefore herself in distress to her team.

"So I get the voice that comes in my head that says that, 'You missed this. That sucked. That sucked.' Oh, you get a glimpse of yourself on the screen. 'Wow, that looks pretty f--king sh-tty.'"

It's by far the most relatable scene to me - even if Selena and I work in very different fields and have different struggles, I understand the constant beating up of yourself and the 'voice' incredibly well. The way I've always thought of it is being painfully self-aware of myself, but not enough to do anything about it. I've tried to get over that - there's a lot about myself that I simply can't "fix." That's what autism is. I think autistic pride is a beautiful concept, even if I struggle to accept myself, because no one deserves the voice in their head constantly saying "that sucked, that sucked, what are you doing? You're a freak, you have ruined everything, all of these people see you as disposable."

I am proud of Selena for her vulnerability and sincerely hope that with her reach, she is able to make others feel less alone when they feel low and when they feel like an exception to the love the world has to offer. I think the ND community does a fantastic job at this as well.

Inspired by the many other neurodivergent and q***r pages I've encountered on FB, I've finally decided to create one of my own.

A little about page admin - I'm twenty-one years old, use he/they pronouns, and was diagnosed as autistic when I was 2. I also have ARFID and dyspraxia. My special interests - or at least the ones that take up in the most space in the old noggin- are in age ratings/censorship and animation. My favorite cartoons are Hilda, The Owl House, Dead End: Paranormal Park, Aggretsuko, Gravity Falls...actually let me stop myself before we're here all day.

One last thing! This is a safe space for neuroq***r people regardless of formal diagnosis. Douchebaggery will get you blocked and banned. You can do whatever you want in your own trash can, but I'm not required to humor or platform it.
