FFMH One Shot (sequel is planned!)

Hello my perverts!

Remember this post? Do you? Do you? It’s okay if you don’t, really.

I usually don’t do ‘Fandom For’ fundraisers. They’re usually badly researched or I’m not interested in the subject at all. When I was still mainly stomping around on livejournal, I participated in… one? two? I don’t know, but it was a bad experience for me. However, this fundraiser had everything RIGHT. The right set up, the right charities and heck yeah, I’m an advocate for Mental Health. Or… well…

Not only am I interested in psychology and how to cope with certain issues, I’m Autistic. This is not a secret; I’m open about it whenever I can because you know what? Fuck hiding it.

Society teaches us to be ASHAMED of being a little bit different; that people with a mental health issues are somehow less than others. But you know what? We are all brave for dealing with our problems on a day to day basis. Our daily struggles to get out of bed or to take our meds.

I’m open about my Autism because I have nothing to be ashamed of. I’m a semi-functioning adult, I rent my own flat, I do my own finances, shopping and I take care of a furry baby. I just have certain issues that makes it hard to do basic things. I’m being open about it so I can educate people. One of the labels you get when you’re Autistic is that you can’t take care of yourself; but most of us can! Proving people wrong is FUN.

Anyway, Meeko showed me this fundraiser and we both went like… “Yep! Have to contribute!” So we did.

Intermission is a Bella/Kol friendship, for now. I might change that in the sequel. Yep, I totally said that and it’s going to happen when I’m done with my current project. In Intermission, Bella has Autism although it’s not diagnosed. It’s likely that in her old Asylum notes that they said that she was retarded. They’re 10k of words, so have fun!

It’s not new for me to write Bella with Autistic traits. It’s what I’ve been doing for quite some time now, but I made it more obvious in this one. Because you see, there are various degrees of Autism. Take two people who have it and they can tell you that they experience it differently, that their issues are different – not to mention, sometimes there’s comorbidity involved. Such as added anxiety issues. Or psychosis.

I know people with PTSD, I know people with depression, I know people who are bipolar. Most of them are in the closet, sort to speak. So by living ‘out and proud’, I hope that I can give them courage in speaking out. That it’s okay to be who you are and that it’s okay to ask for help!

Should YOU need someone to talk to, you can always hit me up! Most of the time I’ll respond immediately.
