I Am Reposting This For My Brother, Who Absolutely Loves Indiana Jones. He Burst Out Laughing When I

So, something cool. My Dad has been working on a film for the past five years or so. And, it looks like he's posted the trailer on his Tumblr. You can check it out here.

A new teaser for the movie we've worked so hard on. Marbles and Bullets. We could use your help! Tell people about the movie! Let people know that you want to see it. Be a voice that helps us be heard!

Libraries deserve a lot of love. Where I live, my library isn't just a good place to relax and study, but they also run several of the community events near where I live. I can't easily afford to go to Comic Con, so they basically run a Comic Con that is a free event near mine. It is a genuinely important place for me and the people around me.

My besties made this fic and got some awesome fanart made of it. Honestly, people can be awesome around here. Wish I was as skilled of a writer as them.

Guys listen, what if I shipped them… 👉👈

As someone with a physics education, I can one hundred percent agree that this is the true beauty about the universe. There is so much wonderful in the world that we barely understand and may never know. And you know what? That's okay!

ABA is a policy that I definitely do not support. I have beaten myself up some days because I don’t feel “normal.” It still takes talking with my friends and family to realize that I am not supposed to be “normal.” I’m just supposed to be me. I am lucky to know several people who are willing to help me grow and develop my independence and skills rather than try to make me fit the mold.

Hello everyone,

I found an article from the Child Mind Institute that explains the controversies around ABA therapy. Here is a quick read of the article. The full article will be linked below:

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a therapy that helps kids with autism learn skills and lessen problematic behavior like hurting themselves. There are several different forms of ABA. All are based on the idea that reinforcing certain behaviors will lead kids to repeat those behaviors. Studies have shown that ABA is effective, but some parents and autistic self-advocates do not support its use.

One criticism of ABA is that the earliest version of it used punishments as well as rewards. Punishments are no longer used in ABA, but critics think it is still too hard on kids because it is so repetitive. Supporters argue that modern ABA is often much less repetitive and that practitioners are trained to make learning fun and interesting for the child.

Another criticism is that ABA is too focused on eliminating behaviors instead of building skills. Some practitioners agree that this can be a problem. They emphasize that therapy needs to focus on what kids should be doing, rather than what they shouldn’t be doing.

Finally, some autistic self-advocates say that ABA tries to make kids with autism fit neurotypical standards. They argue that autistic kids have different needs, so they shouldn’t be taught to look and act like neurotypical kids. Some of these advocates says that speech and language therapy is a more helpful way for autistic kids to build skills and independence.

You're welcome! Thank you so much for answering my ask! I love this comic and your work!

I am a huge fan of Señorita Cometa! I absolutely adore Alex, Puig, Adal, and Sofia. But, I have a random question I wanted to ask. I am Autistic and really relate to Alex as a character. Is it weird that I headcanon her as neurodivergent? I only ask because I see her hyper focus on what she cares about, her social awkwardness, and her ability to be strong once she puts on the helmet as her alter ego. Again, I don't want to influence anything, but I just wanted to let you know why I absolutely adore Alex and think she's so awesome.

It's not weird at all! I think this is a really cool headcanon! ♥ thank you so much for sharing it with me! ♥

Here's a hug. We all need it

I prefer saying, "Hi," or "You're very pretty" (regardless of gender) or "I like your (insert whatever you noticed here)." Basically, I figure that I might survive if I try to befriend the monster. So far, my friends include La Llorona, the Bride of Frankenstein, a doll-eyed clown lady who wants to turn me into a lampshade, a ghost lady in a haunted lake who was outfitted by Satan himself, and a vampire bat who convinced me to eat the spider on my necklace. I make neat friends. 😊😊😊

I like haunted houses in theory BUT I have no idea how to react when the actors speak to you. They ask me a question and I just… answer it…

The scariest part of a haunted house is the unscripted social interaction.

Something you will need to know to help people in your life. Whether it be because of age or disability, everyone deserves a chance at a happy holiday season.
