I really sincerely hope no one feels precluded from joining or being active on this instance for not feeling βlatinx enoughβ. There really are no further qualifications than just if thatβs a thing you feel you can identify yourself as. Identity is complicated & multifaceted and we shouldnβt have to shove ourselves into boxes. You can just like βbeβ here, and be among peers that still all have different experiences. That was my goal of making this instance
The reason why corporate social media sites remove spree killers' profiles is more to do with protecting the site than preventing the spread of the message. Leaving their profiles would show how a network of scum are allowed to thrive on a platform.
I think it's weird that NTs think that autistic people can't communicate
My dad is probably where I got the autism genes from and I can understand his emotions very well and yet my (presumably NT) mum can't understand his emotions because he expresses them differently.
I can read my autistic girlfriend's emotions very well because I've talked to her and saw patterns between her feeling some way and her making a facial expression or doing a stim, which are also different to "normal".
I actually find reading emotions of autistic people easier, and they tend to understand me better too. Even if they can't read my emotions, they are more likely to ask or believe me if I tell them how I feel, even if my emotional reaction isn't "typical".
NTs aren't better at communication, they just communicate *differently*, and don't bother to learn how to communicate with anyone who isn't exactly like them.
