👏 Let’s be proud of what we are.
Hey you!
Yes you.
Are you weird?
Are you sure about that?
Has anybody misunderstood you?
And they called you names because your mind works differentlyOur friends and allies at Randimals have a saying, What makes us different, makes all the difference in the world.Randimals We agree. Randimals are made up of two different animals... than theirs?
Did you find it upsetting?
Then you’re weird!
And that makes you one of us.
Weird people like you aren’t aloneAloneness is a characteristic that many creatives embrace and yearn for. Being alone is anything but lonely. Reading, writing, and creating art all demand a personal space where one can... because there are millions of us everywhere.

Finding our communityWhat I have always been hoping to accomplish is the creation of community.Community is magic. Community is power. Community is resistance.Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century https://www.amazon.com/Disability-Visibility-First-Person-Stories-Twenty-First-ebook/dp/B082ZQBL98/ https://www.amazon.com/Disability-Visibility-Adapted-Young-Adults-ebook/dp/B08VFT4R9T/..., our mob you might say, This is our family, where we can work and play
There is nothing more human than play. Humans were designed to learn in play. In fact, nearly all mammals evolved this way.Play's Power At our learning space, we provide learners fresh.... Here among these people, as aliens
I believe all persons with Autism need the opportunity to become friends with other Autistic people. Without this contact we feel alien to this world. We feel lonely. Feeling like... we bring, This is where my heart can rest
We urgently need a society that's better at letting people get the rest they need.Fergus Murray WIP by Kristina Daniele I’m in pain. Mental. Physical. The result’s the same. Retreating..., and my soul can sing. Yes I am autistic, ADHD
ADHD or what I prefer to call Kinetic Cognitive Style (KCS) is another good example. (Nick Walker coined this alternative term.) The name ADHD implies that Kinetics like me have... too, Yes I am dyspraxic, and I just may do. But even if you're not like me, Even if we don't agree, We can be friends in this place, It's called acceptanceAcceptance means training mental health service providers to look at autism and other disabilities as a part of a person's identity, rather than a problem that needs to be fixed. Acceptance... of our race. Acceptance of our culture, The way we operate, The way our passions give us joy, The way we love and create. It might be differentOur friends and allies at Randimals have a saying, What makes us different, makes all the difference in the world.Randimals We agree. Randimals are made up of two different animals... from others, It might not be for you, But this is where we thrive and give, Where in relationship we live. Come Join Me! Belonging Mutants Seers and me
People fear what they can’t categorise. To the extent that queerphobia is about the persecution of those perceived as different, it is a type of weirdmisia, a category of hatred that I think we need to start naming: hate for the weird.
We’re here. We’re weird. Get used to it.
Weird Pride means refusing to accept that our weirdness is something we should hide or train ourselves out of. It means standing up for the value of diversity, standing against the stigma being someone who doesn’t quite fit, and standing with others who’ve had similar experiences. I’m proud to be queerBeing queer means constantly questioning what's considered "normal" and why that norm gets privileged over other ways of being. It means criticizing who sets these norms and recognizing the privilege..., I’m proud to be autistic, and I’m proud to be a damn weirdo. I didn’t choose to be who I am, but I choose to live with it. I choose not to be ashamed.
And the sign says "long hair freaky people need not apply" So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do So I took off my hat I said "Imagine that Huh Me working for you"
Now, hey you, mister, can't you read? You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat You can't even watch, no, you can't eat You ain't supposed to be here The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside Ugh!
So I got me a pen and a paper And I made up my own little sign I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me I'm alive and doin' fine" Wooo!
