I’ve talked before about my “autistic prophecy brain,” but I think this is a big part of it. When your brain doesn’t filter for you, a lot more raw data is getting stored up & even if all the input is chaotic, sometimes your brain puts the pieces together &BAM you have a prophecy

@cmaccoinnich Why sit with and feel my feelings when intellectualizing has been working for me for my whole life (and definitely didn’t contribute to severe, years long burnout)?
I love my wife but she was a little cringe in labor.
Yes, I am in the psych ward.
TikTok bullshit + watching my wife’s C-section + complex emotions i was not expecting after seeing the baby proved to be my breaking point
Thankfully I am still very close to the maternity ward
Congratulations to everyone in my life on their Oscar worthy performances as people who love or care about me in any way
People on Reddit asking the real questions
People say ‘you’re autistic, does that mean you take everything literally?’

Being high functioning & having ‘insight’ is all well and good until no one realises how much you’re struggling because you’re smiling, turning up everyday and afraid to tell anyone the truth.

Companies talk of the need for authenticity & vulnerability at the workplace. But the vulnerability on display seems performative. Managers share “vulnerable” moments of their lives in curated fashion as the opening act of team meetings, in a theatrical display of authenticity.
While navigating a new culture, several Indians speak of the acute need to make meaningful connections with other human beings. What they get, instead, is extreme friendliness and copious amounts of small talk – devoid of intimacy.
The concern feels less about inclusion and more about ensuring the company doesn’t get sued.

Reasons I am proud to be autistic 🧵
1. High level of empathy
Many autistic people have incredibly high levels of empathy, especially for other marginalised people and those who are vulnerable. Sometimes it just looks different to NT empathy and is therefore not recognised.
@AutisticCallum_ If I can be playful for a moment... mental health issues are not really mental health issues either, if you defy the concept of the medical model. Same with behaviourism, and the same with neurology. Being labelled or mislabelled can be equally disempowering. 🙏
