"Gosh, we are totally surprised that there are so many autistic people!" (paraphrased), etc. Perhaps if the Government had not spent the last 13 yrs pretending the figures were low, we wouldn't have a 'surprise' eh? They were advised. Repeatedly. For years.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility from your local agender enby 🏳️⚧️ May all of my trans and enby fans know that this page is a safe place for you to be your true selves all day every day! Sending love to you all! #TransDayOfVisibility #TransgenderDayOfVisibility
Anyone who thinks depression is just “being sad” really doesn’t understand depression. Likewise anyone who thinks burnout is just “I’m tired” doesn’t understand burnout.
Beating the sh*t out of ourselves is not "accountability," & starving ourselves is not "self discipline." What those actually are, are reenactments of abuse & neglect. They have no place in realistic, sustainable trauma recovery.
#ActuallyAutistic ppl are often viewed as difficult ppl whether we are masking or not. This begs the question, are WE the difficult ppl? Or is it just hard for other ppl to accept that we don’t feel or experience life the same?
If you’re a parent and have an issue with this… You shouldn’t have had children.
If you’re a parent and have an issue with this… You shouldn’t have had children.
There might be certain people in our life who we like & who did nothing to us-- but they trigger us simply because they were in our lives when the really bad stuff was happening. That "guilt by association" isn't their fault-- but we still have to manage how they make us feel.
My view on “Able to work” If someone works, but has no quality of life, or isn’t able to have any life outside of work because work takes all their energy/capacity that they may have left over after managing their condition(s)… They are not able to work.
Autistic people can be bullies just like allistic people. Being autistic doesn’t give you the right to be a bully. Being autistic doesn’t give you a free pass to hurt whoever you please.
NT ppl: you are not invited to my conversations with other #autistic ppl unless you are here to listen and learn. We’ve already heard your minimizations of our differences in every other life corridor. In this space, you need to stfu.
Has feminism gone too far? Has ‘mental health culture’ gone too far? You know what they aren’t asking has gone too far? fascism, corruption, genocide, cost of living. Curious that isn’t it…!
If you’re attacking disabled folks for using food delivery services, you’re an ableist. It’s super simple, actually. You’re not a revolutionary. You’re not a radical. Just an ableist.
Today, I would like to take a gentle stroll through this, by a person in charge of education that we shall not name, and who , it appears, blocks anyone who asks questions.
Almost got conned into signing up for #Digiyatra at Delhi T3 just now 👺 Sleep deprived and tired me is on an urgent trip to Bangalore. Got off UK618 from DED at DEL T3. Flight was late. Mad rush of transit passengers. There was one hapless woman from AISATS alone…
Autistic Meltdowns are not a choice but a culmination of needs not being met. Let's talk about what they mean for us, how we navigate them, and the understanding we wish to see from the world around us. Your experiences matter.
Right Wing users have made the claim that a man wearing a burqa was present among the Muslim worshippers in Delhi who were recently kicked and shoved by an SI of police. There isn't an iota of truth in the claim. WATCH #AltNewsFactCheck report
When something awesome happens in your private life and you want to have people sharing your joy but you have no place safe to share it...
People can’t always “just leave” abusive relationships/situations. They may also seem to ‘go back’ to their abuser(s). This does not mean that abuse isn’t happening. And even when out of it, they may not want to report their abuser. It’s never the victims’ fault.
What is the average length of treatment for an eating disorder? From referral to full recovery?

I wish my brain could be this focused every day. Almost 48 hours now of getting stuff done and it's been awesome. There's a crash coming without a doubt after all this activity but at least I ticked a long list of things off my 'beating myself up about it' list. :)
I have waited a long time to see Supernatural’s canonically Autistic Angel Castiel. I am led to understand that their Autistic traits are more prevalent as the series develops. So far it’s mostly Flat Affect. I appreciate that the Flat Affect is unique to them.
Anyone who thinks depression is just “being sad” really doesn’t understand depression. Likewise anyone who thinks burnout is just “I’m tired” doesn’t understand burnout.

Hi disabled and/or chronically ill friends, What do you wish was spoken about more in terms of disability/chronic illness?
Sometimes I thin, wouldn’t it be nice if you could go back in time with the right information about yourself and proceed from there? But I guess it serves no purpose to lament on what cannot be changed. #ActuallyAutistic
Cycled into uni again today. I went past the lake and saw the heron. I've decided to name him Whistler. Anyone know where I got that name from?
