Interest is a powerful motivator of action for people who struggle with executive dysfunction. A special interest is that on another level entirely. Special interests can be so motivating that they can be nearly impossible to put down, not bring up, or not engage in.
One of the reason that different autistic people can have strikingly different support needs is that autism very often co-occurs with other physical and mental health issues. This constellation of co-occurring conditions differs from person to person, so do their support needs.
Autistic sensory sensitivities are usually more than 'just being uncomfortable.' Sensory issues, such as loud noises, can be physically painful, can trigger automatic behavioural responses, can impact executive function, and/or have serious emotional impacts.
Even though MANY autistic people also have ADHD, there are many ADHD traits that seem like the exact opposite of autistic ones. As AuDHD'ers can attest, this makes navigating our changing struggles and support needs a wild, unpredictable ride at times.
Different autistic people can have very different support needs. What's right for you (or your autistic friend/family member) may not be right for any other autistic person, and that's okay.
Autistic special interests can be intense and intrusive. Strangely, when these special interests align with expectations of our society, they can also be completely missed by the people around us.
Accepting autistic people means building a safer world to be autistic in. Safer to access healthcare, safer to interact with authority figures, safer from bullying, safer to be who we are.
A lot of spaces are inaccessible to autistic people, and often the barriers aren't immediately obvious to NTs. Spaces with sudden, unexpected, and/or intense sensory experiences, unpredictable changes, or unclear expectations are accessibility barriers that might go unnoticed
A significant percentage of autistic people also meet the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis, and being both ADHD and autistic changes our experiences and barriers in fairly significant ways. In some ways, they are opposing forces. In others, they seem to tag team my functioning
Autistic communities have consistently been at the forefront of identifying, labelling, and communicating the autistic experience. For decades this work has been ignored by professionals. Accepting autistic people means listening to autistic communities
There's an assumption that speech is indication of intelligence or "functioning level" when it comes to autistic people, and it just needs to stop. Autistic people who do not or cannot verbally speak are often far more intelligent than society gives them credit for
This is one of the biggest struggles that I have personally. Making friends (and networking) feels like I'm playing a game I intellectually know all the rules to, but I'm just trash at playing. No matter how hard I try I just can't actually succeed at it. It's heckin' lonely

There's no one 'correct' autistic experience, just like there is no one 'correct' way to understand or feel about being autism as label, diagnosis, or identity. Different autistic people simply relate being autistic differently. That's okay

Also my functioning widely fluctuates depending on my sensory or support needs. This causes issues at work when I flip from highly efficient to “can’t even really deal with email” due to a sensory issue. My coworkers and bosses get confused because they don’t get it.
Functioning labels fundamentally do not work for autistic people because our functioning (or our support needs) aren't the actual problem. The actual problem is whether our support needs are met. If our support needs aren't met, we can burnout, struggle, or worse.
@StructuredSucc Nothing about us without us!
@StructuredSucc Yelling at me is physically painful. I hate it. I give but so many warnings before I start yelling back. By that time I'll be mean
@AutThe6788 @StructuredSucc I can’t stand the yelling jumpscare, but someone I know still does it to “prove the point” that they weren’t really yelling before. It’s so awful & disrespectful 😣
Yea. Loud modified car mufflers give me nausea.
Autistic sensory sensitivities are usually more than 'just being uncomfortable.' Sensory issues, such as loud noises, can be physically painful, can trigger automatic behavioural responses, can impact executive function, and/or have serious emotional impacts.
@StructuredSucc It’s the worst because people don’t understand it’s actually painful to me. It’s hard for people to get it.
In my last classroom I stopped using overhead lighting and switching to only lamp light / window light for myself (bc I’m in the room all day) and kids of all grades (plenty without IEP/504’s!) came up to me to tell me how nice it was and I kept it that way til I quit!
Because so many autistic people experience serious sensory sensitivities, if an allistic person feels uncomfortable in a particular sensory environment, it's probably safe to assume that it's inaccessible to at least some autistic people.
@StructuredSucc Me, I can be fairly fluent, stuttering, or nonverbal. It all depends on current stress levels.
I go non-verbal and I also can't talk to quite a few people and use an AAC but I still know exactly what I mean and I'm still just as smart regardless of if I use my mouth or my phone
There's an assumption that speech is indication of intelligence or "functioning level" when it comes to autistic people, and it just needs to stop. Autistic people who do not or cannot verbally speak are often far more intelligent than society gives them credit for
@StructuredSucc And vice versa! An Autistic person who is highly verbal can have significant cognitive impairments and not get the support they need to thrive.
Since I am such a chatterbox this news may surprise folks!
I was non-verbal longer than what was expected of me. It wasn't because I couldn't speak, I just didn't want to.
There's an assumption that speech is indication of intelligence or "functioning level" when it comes to autistic people, and it just needs to stop. Autistic people who do not or cannot verbally speak are often far more intelligent than society gives them credit for
@StructuredSucc I've noticed this affect people's perception of those with Tourette's, as well. Anything that isn't "normal" speech from their POV is seen as unintelligent
@StructuredSucc Also, when I feel like I am succeeding at it, it feels really dirty.
@Vhoyde Sounds like a skill issue to me. How exactly are you asking for consent if it ruins the vibe? "Before we continue ma'am, I would like affirmative consent to have sexual intercourse with you." ?? Usually a simple "Is this ok?" will suffice.

Iside from being autistic I also have Bipolar type 1, generalized anxiety disorder, and a very rare sleep disorder called Idiopathic Hypersomnia. It’s incredibly hard for me to function day to day without medication (sometimes even with) and disability still won’t accept my claim
