This Fact That I Have Learned Is Amazing! It Definitely Makes Me Feel Better About Me. I Don't Have Autism

This fact that I have learned is amazing! It definitely makes me feel better about me. I don't have autism but I have tourrets which can be on the autistic scale and I have ADD and I am asexual! So thank you Gaud for being you and being this amazing blog for people to come to.

hey i've been going through your #actuallyautistic tag and damn you really out here being an autistic icon. i've got ADHD and OCD and the similarities between us (even though I don't know you, really) make me feel...warm. (not as isolated/alone? not sure what the word i'm trying to use here is.) plz don't stop being so unabashedly yourself bc u inspire me + more people to embrace themselves. thank u gaud for being pretty epic.

solidarity! 

ADHD/ADD is often co-morbid with autism to the point that for a lot of people on the autism spectrum an ADD diagnosis is redundant. both my siblings have ADD and i was also diagnosed w/ it before my autism diagnosis–lots of overlap. i’ve never qualified as on the OCD, but i certainly struggled with a lot of those issues when I was younger. 

i’ve found that most of my followers are neurodiverse in some ways–we have a lot in common. cheers for solidarity among the neurodiverse community! also a cool fact: autistic people are much more likely to be a-spec! I’m aromantic and a huge amount of my earliest tumblr friends & mutuals (same difference) are ace or demi.

this blog will always owe a lot to the incredible ace and aro communities on this site. give a shout out to your local neurodiverse & a-spec folks <3

Tips on writing sign language

Disclaimers: while I have been learning ASL (American Sign Language, I am not yet fluent. Also, I am not deaf. Both of these things being said, I have been learning ASL for nearly a year and I’ve been doing independant research about the language itself and the Deaf community. What I’ve listed below are things that I have learned from my own personal experience signing, what I’ve learned in my ASL class, and what I’ve learned from my independant research.

1) When you write signed dialogue, use quotation marks and everything else you would use for any other type of dialogue. Yes, I know they didn’t do that in the Magnus Chase series, but many Deaf readers were made uncomfortable at the choice to depict sign language as not speech. Establish early on that the character signs and then use tags such as “xe signed,” or “hir motions were snappy with irritation.”

2) Without facial expressions, someone’s signs are going to be almost meaningless. All of the grammar is in the face, as are some descriptors. For example, if you can’t see a character’s face, and you’re only looking at their hands, the signs would be the same for the statement “Xe doesn’t have dogs.” and the question “Does xe have dogs?” 

3) There is no such thing as fluent lipreading. The best lipreaders in the world can only understand about 70% of what’s being said, and factors such as darkness, the presence of mustaches, lack of context, and a bunch of other common things can easily lower that ability. If someone’s lipreading, they’re taking little pieces of what they can lipread, and stitching together context and other details to get a general picture of what’s going on, but there’s still always going to be holes.

4) If you’re writing a character who can’t hear, know the difference between deaf (lowercase d) and Deaf (uppercase D). The medical term for not being able to hear anything is deaf. People who use their deafness as part of their identity are referred to, and refer to themselves as Deaf. They are part of the Deaf community.
