Affirmations for Autistic People

Neurodivergent Lou

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

Hell yeah brother

some fun writer things to do instead of writing

make a playlist for your character

make picrews of them

draw them

have two characters play Twenty Questions

make a travel brochure for your setting

pretend to be your character and play some personality quizzes

from MBTI, Enneagram to “What colour am i” and silly quizzes

interview your character

give them an aesthetic

make moodboards for them

or Pinterest board

daydream about them

or imagine scenarios

assign three things that remind you of them, for example, A is the day and B is the night so when A falls, B rises and they are hardly together

imagine them having tumblr. what would they blog about?

make incorrect quotes about them

and most importantly, enjoy
