Celebrities Who Have a Personal "No Autograph" Policy

Some people do collect autographs. Some do it for fun, some do it for money.
I am someone who only contacts someone I admire, and for their persoanality, not just their talent or physical attributes.
If a celebrity finds it too stressful to accomodate autograph seekers, it is totally understandable.
When they mock the very people who help keep them famous, then they cross a line and deserve to be called out.
I made a list of celebrities who don't sign autographs, because I don't want there to be any hyper-emotional people like me out there who get their hopes crushed writing or tweeting a celebrity.
To those who consider autograph seekers "sad":
They are the same people who make and keep you rich and famous.
They may be going through a rough time in life. You don't need to make things worse by behaving like a douchebag.
You were once a "nobody", too. Chances are YOU longed for someone's John Hancock of whom YOU admired.
If autographing/taking selfies isn't your thing, consider posting a "no autograph" policy on your social media accounts and website.
Consider doing autographs for charity purposes. The Special Olympics, Easter Seals, The Salvation Army and the Red Cross can all benefit from the thousands generated by a signed item at auction.

Many celebrities will do selfies with their fans. This is acceptable if you can physically able to make it to their location.

Update:
Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr no longer sign personal autographs. Sorry, Beatles fans.

Iva Davies of ICEHOUSE (AUS band) typically don't sign personal autographs.

Robert Plant (Led Zepplin) doesn't sign personal autographs.

Taylor Swift doesn't sign personal autographs.

Check a celebrity's social media page and website to inquire if they sign personal autographs, espcecially via mail. It will save you heartache later on.

My autistic brain

Profile of a face with a rainbow colored brain. Personal autism attributes in various colors font. Since I am a visually oriented thinker, pictures come before words. Words flow easier if I can create an image or images first. Here is one case in point. I am very grateful for PixTeller.com for providing the royalty free images and designing capability.

I wasn’t meant to be a primary caregiver

As I have mentioned in posts over the last 2 years, my mom passed away 2.5 years ago. Caring for her in her final months was difficult, but doing it as an autistic person 5 days in a row the first couple weeks was impossible. She was in the end stages of pulmonary fibrosis. She weighed 70 pounds and was gradually withdrawing from eating and drinking. She had reached the point where she was scared to be alone. For. A. Single. Instant. I tried to tell my family that this much intensive care for 5 days straight was too much. I couldn't process it. There was no fresh supply of spoons and I was on auxiliary power. I have recently become acquainted with the Spoon Theory. Here is Wikipedia's definition: of the s poon theory: "The spoon theory is a disability metaphor used to explain the reduced amount of energy available for activities of daily living and productive tasks that may result from disability or chronic illness." Maybe they thought because

Questioning the current autism spectrum model

Color wheel. Concept: autism spectrum redefined. Can an autistic person be both high and low functioning? Is this even the right question to ask? I've heard the term "high-functioning" and "low-functioning" used for autism for nearly two decades, when I was first diagnosed. I am not offended by the terms, but confused by them. What is in question? IQ? EQ? verbal and social skills? How about coping with co-morbids and sensory processing disorder? The autism spectrum is often seen as linear, with "low functioning" being at one end and "high functioning" being at the other. This is one dimensional and I think, misleading. My IQ has been tested in adulthood twice. Each time, I scored 110, considered a B+ grade. Intellectually, I could say I'm high-functioning. I can speak, though I sometimes have to stop and think about what I have to say or wind up repeating words while I try and think about what ones I want to use. I do well with wr
