To other autistic people, are there any autism symptoms that you feel aren’t widely understood or recognised?
Not Widely Understood: Empathy. OH. MY. GOD. Like, maybe the good experts recognize that we often have empathy, but most people do not understand that we have it all, let along that it often works differently in us.
Not recognized: Executive dysfunction is not part of the clinical criteria of autism, but I’ve yet to meet an autistic that doesn’t have some form executive dysfunction. Like, I’m sure they’re out there, but if they are, I sure as hell don’t know where. I personally really want to see this added to the ASD criteria. Like, I’m covered by my ADHD diagnosis in this regard, but I still get called lazy and accused of not caring. It’s even worse for autistics that can’t fall back on a comorbid diagnosis of ADHD.
the Anne Frank Center has to call out government employees for anti-semitsm in 2017…… just let that sink in
HITLER GASSED PEOPLE TO DEATH AND THE GOVERNMENT IS SAYING HE DIDN’T USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS
THIS IS BEYOND INSANE
WHAT IS HAPPENING
The trump government has gone from soft Holocaust denial to full blown Holocaust denial.
I’m speechless, holy crap.
It gets worse!
He then said that he meant that Hitler didn’t gas people in his own country or in their homes. No, Hitler had them sent to “the Holocaust center.”
The Holocaust center.
This man is an idiot, and unrepentant when he hurts someone, either out of his own inability to form cohesive thoughts, or just because he doesn’t care.

Years before Kakashi, there was another Sharingan user not of Uchiha blood: Senju Tobirama, whose right eye was irremediably damaged by a Kumo nin as he fought to save his comrade, Uchiha Kagami. However, Kagami was mortally wounded: before he died, he asked his ex-sensei to take his eye to make up for the one he had lost. In the name of the love he bore for Tobirama, Kagami asked him to let him witness the Leaf’s future.
With a heavy heart, Tobirama accepted.
(His first Sharinagn memory, forever burnt into his mind, is that of the Kumo ninjas who had stolen Kagami away from him, gutted and left out for the vultures.
The second one memory is the sight of his trembling, bloody hands as he unrolls a storage scroll to seal Kagami’s corpse away.
Then he covers his right eye with a blindfold and pretends that the wetness soaking the cloth is blood and not tears.)
