Autism is my painful special interest, I'm a L2 semi-verbal autistic 90s baby with a "Greta Thunberg complex" regarding the autism industry. ♿🩼♾️ She/Her. UK. ⚠️ I can't read DMs.

It's not difficult to recognise autism in girls. You just need to pay attention!
Decades of suffering could be prevented if allistics stopped ignoring female autism.

Trying to focus on your routines and being autistic is just not fun at times.
What are my routines again ?
What am I doing ?
What should I be doing ?
Why sometimes I just can't remember ?
You could be fine one day and then the next day is here and everything seems like a total mystery.

🚫 autistic people can’t understand social norms
✅ Autistic people don’t understand why you all think this shit is normal &/or good and we’d like to make some recommendations if you don’t mind

If we stopped saying “autistic people can’t understand social norms” and started saying “autistic people can’t sanction social norms” nobody would like us any better I suppose

My ADHD hyperfixations are supplementary, knowledge-acquisition side-quests in my Autistic infrastructure of knowledge.
Hyperfixations are like weather events, while my Autistic brain is the climate they happen in.

As an Autistic person with ADHD, I find it difficult to identify my special interests among my eclectic obsessions.
These are my tests of a SPIN:
• am I willing and capable to argue passionately/forcefully about the subject?
• do I have uncontrollable daily perseveration on the subject?

Literally the only thing I want in life is a proper diagnostic process.
I don't care about anything else.
"What do you want for Christmas?"
Diagnosis.
"What do you want for your birthday?"
Diagnosis.
"What's your 10 year plan?"
Diagnosis.
"What's your special interest?"
Diagnosis.

Every time I reach out to British society for help because I live in a permanent state of despair,
society is also being put through a test of whether they care about Autistic people,
and they always fail my test.

I spent 3 years on a waiting list just to be ignored, gaslit, manipulated, assassinated and dismissed by an arrogant white man who doesn't believe Autistic adults exist
... on the "Adult Diagnostic Team".

the NHS has the resources to persecute and punish my autism (they invaded my home + forced me into school when I was a school refusing, burned out, overloaded, peer-abused Autistic child)
but they don't have the resources to understand and recognise me

the NHS "diagnostic" process taught me that my life is worthless, that society doesn't care about my Autistic struggles, that I'm invisible and alone in my Autistic world, that nobody understands me.
the NHS destroyed my mental health.
I wake up to this, everyday.

This is why indigenous peoples started coining their own words for autism. They didn't need them before Western medicine but now they need terms to differentiate their own perspective on autism from what Western professionals say about it.

I believe a lot of folks underestimate the bruising psychological effect of being told "you belong here" while simultaneously being consistently oppressed by the same people
Bearing witness & providing community & data to prove it's real is so important

As soon as they figure out a way to monetise fixing your species, they'll think of a suitably terrifying name to freak out the typical types.

the Western world is exporting autphobia the way it used to export homophobia
The export of the autism industry is ongoing Western violence against cultures that have historically respected their Autistic people.

Why is there no psychological label for people who isolate themselves to focus on their interests, have no social capacity, and struggle at multi-tasking or new tasks?
I'm still waiting for the industry to label my species.

If you want to support autistic people, stop waiting for us to be “calm” before you care.
We don’t owe you composure to deserve dignity.

I was just fed an advert on Facebook for a mobile signal booster which is illegal to operate in the UK. So like a good netizen I went to "Report this video" and there are no usable options. Giving the *appearance* of responsibility while not actually *being* responsible is how Facebook makes money.

Had a dream that the GP did a genetic test on me and they discovered that I had extraterrestrial genetics (a monstrous non-humanoid alien) but I just felt relief because I finally had an explanation for my severe Autistic alienation.

I often think about how "freak" is the default in the animal kingdom. Only humans insist there's a singular, correct way to exist.
The star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is an evolutionary wonder with "stars for eyes".
They're exceptional in so many ways: they're the fastest-eating mammals, they're just as comfortable in water as (under) the land, have exceptional nerve conduction & senses you don't have access to.

If society cares about "gender violence" it should start with the NHS and its ongoing manslaughter of burned out Autistic girls. We are dying and nobody knows or cares.

I keep a list of Autistic girls that were murdered by society, it's two decades long.
I often think of adding myself to that list. All I have left in my life is despair.
