In the last few days I have discovered a new alter inside me. #alter #dissociativeidentitydisorder youtube.com/shorts/5z4-5eD…

“Attempts to restrict autistic transgender people’s access to gender care are unsupported by existing research.” Researchers speak out against legislation weaponizing autism to restrict gender-affirming medical care. in @AutismAdulthood: liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/au… #neurodiversity

I basically assumed that childhood was a terrible experience for everyone. I didn’t realise that not everyone finds the usual demands of childhood impossible and can’t cope with the lack of safety and autonomy. This belief was one of the reasons I didn’t have children. 😶

At the age of 16, I left school without enough GCSE's to begin my A-Levels. I spent 3 years in sixth-form college, where I flunked all but one of my A-levels. I got into university by some sheer miracle and finished with a 2:2 (I'm actually quite proud of that one, I managed that…

Did the questionnaire… already have a formal autism diagnosis so not all that surprising that the questionnaire results strongly suggest autism. I prefer the questions asked in this questionnaire to the judgemental medical ones.

Not sure what to make of this. Would autistic people still want this outcome if they were better supported and included? Find it quite disturbing. cambridge.org/core/services/…

"You just need to learn how to fit in." "No, I'm not going to change to fit into your world, I'm going to find people and places where I belong." Answers I wish younger me had dared say at the time. And older me, armed with the knowledge that I'm Autistic, is now doing that.
Our new video is on our channel now. Even though I have been diagnosed with #DID for a long time I still have mixed feelings about having #alters. If I ignore my alters will they go away? youtu.be/wM0iogxAKpM via @YouTube

@Autistic_at_40 same. outside of a few vacations, being a child was terrible. even in my worst days of stress and anxiety, being an adult is so much better in every way. even basic functioning is so much easier in adulthood due to having real autonomy, and it's possible to get real help too.
@JasmynWhit26145 I’m so sorry. And yes, i agree about infancy/ toddler generally. I also had highly controlling parents so I had no autonomy for many years. Only realising now the full extent of the harm that did me.
@Autistic_at_40 Same. I remember being 20 and all of the older adults at my job calling me selfish for saying I didn't want kids. I know how much mental torment I went through growing up, just trying to be normal. Why would I help bring a life into this world just to experience that
I basically assumed that childhood was a terrible experience for everyone. I didn’t realise that not everyone finds the usual demands of childhood impossible and can’t cope with the lack of safety and autonomy. This belief was one of the reasons I didn’t have children. 😶

There's now a online version of this monotropism questionnaire here dlcincluded.github.io/MQ/ Which told me than I'm #autistic, #ADHD and really #monotropic. Which I kinda know 🤣 Thanks @VSMGarau for making it open thou👍 *Decides to research more on #Monotropism suggestions…
in case anyone who's interested in the #monotropism questionnaire study missed the poster presentation last week:

@motiblackart @AutisticSelves That's an Awesome way to think, it's so true!
"You just need to learn how to fit in." "No, I'm not going to change to fit into your world, I'm going to find people and places where I belong." Answers I wish younger me had dared say at the time. And older me, armed with the knowledge that I'm Autistic, is now doing that.
@247Compassion @AutisticSelves I am so sorry for your loss. She deserved so much better from the system.
"non-speaking Autistics are often denied agency through the active withholding of alternative communication methods, or the provision of only ltd comm methods such as PECS." AUTISTIC MASKING by @DrAmyPearson @KieranRose7 Highly recommended read for #SLT @RCSLTLearn
The idea that I was ‘transed’ is ridiculous. Being an out trans person, I have been met with so much abuse. No parent would choose or force their child to live a life filled with so much hatred. I knew who I was at 4 and regret nothing. #transandproud #lgbtq
