Internalized autistic meltdowns, let's talk about them.

First of all, they can and absolutely do often look like they sound.

But they can also look like absolutely nothing.

If anyone does see it, they demand not to see it under threat of punishment. It’s like no one truly cares about the distress that persists- only how it presents itself. We’re left with two choices: suffer in silence or suffer even more. Sometimes we can’t even bring the silence.

Everyone, I’m 2 months behind on my car payment and it could be taken soon if I don’t at least pay the $360 I owe them.

Begging yall to please help me with this and help me with daycare. I’m $110 behind on that too.

Also obviously, anything extra in the positive helps so much.
I know most helpers have left or been banned but if anyone can, I need to pay my car once positive

the shittiest art you DO make is always better than the perfect art you never make

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day and the most heartfelt "fuck you" to the dead genocide guy

Don’t forget to get vaxxed in all the ways you can if you’re remotely able.

Herd immunity is community care!

Some states will ask if you’re part of the “recommended demographic”; if you’re not in a state that requires a doctors note, you can just say yes & walk in. If you are—> see your doctor.

Can we please get a nonzero amount of donations coming in?

Me. If your guitar sounds like trump, I’m throwing a tomato at you.

Here I thought mine was bad 😬

I’m going to be trying this mutual aid all day 😞

I was raped and lost a baby and lost my job. Covid has messed me up too.

I’m begging for some help, please. I don’t want to lose my car too.

Autistic grief is not self-pity.

It’s clarity about what was never safe, never kind, never meant for us.

Grief isn’t regression.

Nor is it shameful.

It’s the moment you stop pretending that the world isn’t as it really is.

Everyone,

I’m under so much stress that I couldn’t sleep. I haven’t slept. I am short of my car payment and I have nothing.

I was raped in July, lost a pregnancy shortly after and my job and Covid messed me up.

So if anyone can please help me keep my car and help me pay for daycare, please.

Autistic people need downtime in order to process, reintegrate, stim, watch favorite videos—however they best decompress.

LET AUTISTIC PEOPLE HAVE THEIR SPACE!

It’s been raining here in the desert, and I’ve got no complaints. It’s refreshing.

Happy Fall, northern hemisphere! Enjoy some pumpkin blossoms 😊

Your bullies & abusers quite intentionally programmed the idea into you that you don't have any problems that you didn't create or attract yourself. They very much want you to let them off the hook & take the hit for them, if you would be so kind.

I recommend not being so kind.
