The Autistic Coach | Matthew (he/they) @theautisticcoach.bsky.social · Jul 21

They told us to self-regulate.

Alone.

Independently.

Quietly.

But we’re autistic.

Sometimes we need another nervous system to settle ours.

A calm voice.

A steady presence.

A shared rhythm.

That’s not weakness.

That’s co-regulation.

And we all need it.

It’s not “less than”.

I can't live with someone who won't either clean, or pay towards a cleaner. It's domestic exploitation and forces me to do all the chores and maintenance. My creativity and productivity have crashed, my mind and body in constant burnout.

Going to residential treatment for 6 months because I can't heal, work or thrive in the place I'm living. I'm not able to keep a whole house clean by myself, and being repeatedly lied to and gaslit is turning me into a person I don't like.

"healing isn't linear" ok but it should be. i should be better every day until i reach 100% and then keep going, becoming unstoppably, supernaturally healthy

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

I am in fact an adult, even if I'm weird, come across childish, have delayed development in some domains, have the capacity to enjoy things with childlike glee. I have a whole lot of life experience and will never, ever appreciate being spoken to like a child.

It's very nice that you allow headphones/earplugs, but having that one accomodation, doesn't mean you've solved my autism and I'm normal now.

The state did not ban PA because they are terrorists.

They banned them because they are scared.

To those supporting genocide at Downing Street:

Repression won't save you. Your police & your prisons won't save you.

We have class solidarity & we are coming for you.👊🏽

transphobes: vigilantes & the state should be allowed to use financial, corporal, & carceral violence to dictate your language, hormones, genitals, body, freedoms, rights, & future based on the gender they say you are

trans allies: no they shouldn't

centrists: there are extremists on both sides...

I tried to get medical help for fibromyalgia and the doctor said it was because I was too weak. So I hit the gym.
I'm still in horrific pain, and am fatigued to an unsafe degree approx 50% of the time, but at my next appointment, I'll be able to crush that doctor with my bare hands. #winning #fibro

After 40 days and nights of sailing the floodwaters, the rain stopped. Noah stepped onto the deck of his ship, and saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky 🌈
"I don't want none of that gay shit," he said angrily, and went back below deck to get drunk with the zebras.

Many people with ADHD and autism achieve wonderful things.
I however, do not. I'm not inspirational or interesting. I just want to be left in peace without having to fear for my future.
I still deserve to live.

Farage’s party could win 42% of Commons seats with only 26% of the vote. That’s not the way civilised countries do democracy, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

I'm a woodwind player and have been visiting Scotland for many years. Yesterday I finally got a go at playing the bagpipes 😂
After years playing whistle, the fingering is absolutely shocking!

Realising that being a gender noncomforming AFAB bisexual in a relationship with an AMAB bisexual makes me hated by parts of the queer community. I didn't expect this to be the place where I'd learn to be *more* ashamed of who I love.
