Autism is not a disease but hate is.
Autisitic people are not tearing families apart, but many christians are.
We are not the problem and we don't need to be cured.

Yes, I'm an anarcho-syndicalist, bisexual, gender-fluid, autistic, radical leftist!
I won’t apologize for being an anarchist or for being autistic. Autism rules, and so does anarchism!
I am #Trans. I am #Autistic and #Disabled. I will not hate.
Love & compassion are of the highest value, which is why those in power are trying to destroy them.
Knitted fabric is stronger and more flexible than almost anything else manmade. It expands larger than its original size and can bend in any direction without losing its integrity.
When we join together, not only a few of us, but a community all linked, we behave like magic, defying physics and covering ground most thought impassable.
I'm offering an early bird sign up bonus for registering for my anxiety reduction course this week. Get an extra live practice session for help applying it to your real life situation.
We'll cover a framework for anxiety reduction that actually works for the Autistic/AuDHD brain, WHY it works, and 8 ways to put it into practice. Intrigued? Details here:

I made a video about some of the things I carry with me every day to make the allistic world a little more manageable.
I hope you like it!

Yesterday I checked into a hotel apartment by the sea and was distraught that there were hotel carpark road works right under my windows and the whole apartment shook and was loud and smelled of the tar being poured outside.
So I politely rang reception and explained we are an #Autistic family and are distressed by this. The manager offered us a beautiful suite in the hotel for use during road work times for free. A wonderful solution kindly given.
Why You Can't Get Your Needs Met By Setting Boundaries
Your body gives warning lights, in the forms of dehydration or hunger, being overtired, etc. There’s a whole range of physical responses that you can get useful information out of.
Reminder that self diagnosis is valid and doesn't take away anything from anyone else. Let people identify. It's just as "official" of diagnosis as a random stranger looking at you for three hours of your life is determining your fate.
(Also big thanks to Mr. Owltistic for writing down your M&M eating habits for me to steal for this comic. Don't worry, I got his permission to do it. )
Morning y'all.
Had a rubbish nights sleep - for various reasons - but woke up to make a firm decision on something that's well overdue me making a decision over and I feel much better about it (regards a big purchase).
Oftentimes the analysis-paralysis of not making a decision is more painful than just making the wrong decision.
Don't think I've made the wrong decision (fairly confident), bit it's nice to stop over analysing it now.
Not All Autistic People Have a Superpower
A personal reflection on the myth that all autistic people have a superpower, and why that expectation can be harmful.

The 2025 #TV #drama entitled #ResidentPlaybook ( #언젠가는슬기로울전공의생활 )—a spin-off of #HospitalPlaylist ( #슬기로운의사생활 )—has an #Autistic coded female character, Kim Sabi (김사비).
It's the debut role of #HanYeji ( #한예지 ) & she's doing great!

No patience for authoritarians, bigots, or bootlickers. Rights are for all people.
So, I'm on annual leave today. Wife is away with the W.I. all day so I'm at a loose end.
I get up early. Get my camera and my 28mm Prime "pancake" lens, pop my adjustable neutral density filter into my bag and head off into London for a day of candid street photography.
In London for all of 2 hours .. didn't take ONE SINGLE PHOTO.. didn't even take camera out of my bag.
Had a crisis of confidence. Felt really self conscious. The crowds were oppressive, the noise unbearable. Had a disappointing coffee in acafé.. and by "had" I mean I purchased and took one look at it and left it untouched and walked out.
Just back home now. Nothing but a stress headache and sore feet to show for my "fun day out" :'(
No one else will ever be able to reliably and consistently know what you need at all times, because they only have the outward markers of your needs, which are limited and can be misleading.
Behind the Bastards reviews the expertise of the loud grifters fighting against #autistic people:
Something that I have long suspected, talking to another neurodiverse person is like speaking in another language, I often feel like I'm not even the same species as neurotypical people.
