there’s no age limit to doing these things! more in caption #autism #autistic #actuallyautistic

“stop infantilizing autistic people” and “some autistic people come off as childish, and that’s okay” are two statements that can coexist!

My little sister has autism and she is 33 doing those things how sweet that you share the same thing ‼️

[cheeseinhaler]

i actually like when people mention my stuffed toy in a positive way, like ‘who’s this?’, it makes me really happy and breaks the ice because i can talk to them about it

[xonicnacx]

Literally cannot thank you enough for your representation

[darkacadpresenceinblood]

good children's media is just so comforting, i don't understand why society restricts such sweet things to a specific age... you're never too old to want to escape into a fantasy world where everything is okay once in a while <3
