you’ve gotta understand i don’t post on here to gain followers i do it to empty my mind ruthlessly each day so i dont go insane . me posting about a character is just me shaking my brain upside down to make sure everything comes out
Im still SO fuckign mad some child psychologists or whatever think parallel play is a negative thing oh my god i hate the NTs sometiems
Literally me and my bf call it cat time where we chill together and do our own things (bc cats interpret spending time together as just lounging in the same space together) and it’s so comfy and happy wtf is wrong w nts
Ahhhh thats so lovely yes u get it
. Doctors think thats a BAD thing??????
Parallel play is supposed to be an early stage of childhood development that transitions into social play, but continuing to do it into adulthood is not considered “normal”
Like the way they talk abt it is GROSS
Parallel play is incredible and social and good actually
???????? How the fuck is chilling with your friends, doing your own thing bad????? Lmfao???
But you aren’t being Social™
My friends and I will literally sit next to each other on our phones/laptops and not say a word to each other(except to occasionally show a funny meme or something) for hours and it’s?? Literally fine?? My friendships with these people have lasted the longest actually?? I’d say “we can’t all be neurotypical, Karen” but this should be acceptable for NT’s to do as well.
i know that “don’t harass people for being weird, they might be autistic!” is a fairly popular take on here. but as a Certified Autist, i’d like to add that harassing allistic and/or neurotypical people for being weird is also bad, and should not be done
and before you come in with “yeah, you never know who is and isn’t autistic, and you shouldn’t force people to out themselves!” i want to say two things: one, i agree. and two, even if you could magically avoid ever harassing a single autistic person, it still wouldn’t be okay to go after NTs for being weird. they’re people, janice. they’re allowed to be really invested in naruto
