My name is Fallon. I took this picture the other night of my new tattoos. My right wrist has a Disney Princess crown on it with a cross in the middle.It says princess. My left wrist has a butterfly. There’s a  treble clef in the body of the butterfly and it says beautiful. I wrote my poem Princess in 2009 about what it means to be a daughter of Christ. I have Cerebral Palsy and have never been happy with my body. When I was a teenager, I developed an eating disorder. Various experiences taught me I was absolutely worthless, but Jesus is teaching me I’m his beautiful princess and every day I’m closer to believing it. Praise God!

BE BRAVE! JOIN THE BODY PEACE REVOLUTION!

Sidenote:  the APA eliminated the term Asperger from their list and it is now only held under the umbrella of Autism (often referred to as high functioning).  I can’t explain why though.

It is slightly bullshit. Functioning labels are actually really harmful to autistic people like myself because it measures our humanity on how non-autistic we are capable of appearing.

Autism is likely NOT more common in boys than girls; autistic girls just tend to be more socialized with “special interests” that are usually more artsy, like books, making art, even fandoms. As such, autism in girls frequently goes undiagnosed, often into adulthood, or just never being diagnosed at all.

So on that note, can we not act as if autism only affects children? That’s another really harmful and ableist attitude that only serves to infantilize us and makes people feel justified treating us like children.

And that segment about bullying is just many kinds of no. It’s pretty victim-blamey. Yeah, if only I didn’t have Asperger’s, then I totes wouldn’t have been bullied into an anxiety disorder as I got older. We’re also definitely the only ones who get bullied ever, thus this diagram specifically pointing it out. We’re also clearly incapable of sarcasm or even just simple communication.

And for the last fucking time, autists DO NOT LACK EMPATHY. THAT IS THE MOST BULLSHIT MYTH EVER. If anything, we tend to have more empathy than most people, which is WHY we tend to be introverts and not like a lot of social interaction, especially not with people who don’t respect us by claiming we lack empathy like we’re fucking psychopaths.

WHEN GIRLS ARE LIKE “I HATE LESBIANS BUT I DON’T MIND GAY MEN” YEAH WELL I HATE VIOLENCE BUT I DON’T MIND PUNCHING YOU

"

well, i’m on fire
and the day is feeling hopeless
you’d see me burning,
but the burning’s turning smokeless
soon i won’t feel at all.
it’s electric
the neon hurt inside your phone call
the layered sadness and the madness it revolves
bring down the walls where you found love

well, i’m willing to break myself
to shake this hell for everything i’ve touched
i’m willing to bleed for days
my reds and greys
so you don’t hurt so much.

and now i’m static
as your sky is turning purple and gray
i’m learning the further that i crawl
the farther that i fall, well is that okay?
no.
and you’re in pieces
as your world becomes a rainstorm
[…]

never again will i fire this gun, no
never again, you’re the only one.
never again, but you’re already gone.
i’m willing to break myself
i’m not afraid
i’m willing to break myself
i’m not afraid

"

break myself, something corporate

"

i’m caught
somewhere in between
alive and living a dream […]
i lay still, still i’m ready to fight.
have my lungs, but you can’t take my sight.
the walls caved in tonight …
out here, i watch the sun circle the earth
marrows collide in rebirth
God’s glory praised
Spirit calls out of the cave
walls fell and there i lay saved.

the walls are caving in,
as far as i can see.
the walls are caving in,
doors got locked for sure
there’s no one here but me
beat my body like a rag doll […]
i fought a war to walk a gangplank
into a life i left behind
windows leading to the past
think it’s time i broke some glass
get this history off my mind. […]

there’s no one here but me…

caves, jack’s mannequin

"when i think i’m letting go, i find my body it’s still burning"

the resolution, jack’s mannequin

"be happy this world can be ugly
but isn’t it beautiful
we’re really not here,
and we’re really not there…
we’re really not there.
[…]
‘cause it’s been a hell of a day
i spent fading away
but we all fade sometimes, i believe."

there there katie, jack’s mannequin.
