they are revealing themselves to be so beholden to a paradigm that runs on the notion that everyone is self-sufficient and autonomous despite that never being true in the entire history of the human species.

And they’ll throw details about potential cooccurring conditions that are not actually autism in the mix as examples of what they don’t want. And even considering those potential cooccurring conditions,

These people have been duped into believing that it is horrible to have children who analyze things and pick up patterns, call out bullshit when they see it, disregard hierarchies, are driven by intense interests, and communicate directly by people who see all of that as a threat.

This is so silly. The Dems are so far to the right that they’d be the conservative party in many European countries. We need to move so much farther left—all the way out of late stage capitalism and the notion that we deserve nothing unless we are able to work very hard for it with no QoL.

We are being represented by the worst of us. This is so sad.

Then again, Alexander Hamilton had a tendency to get high on his own bullshit. I can see him going down his own monotropic tunnel about this while writing the Federalist Papers, not listening to constructive feedback, and putting out ideas that could be useful to the wolves he forgot existed. 🤷♀️

Right? Surely the discussion in the planning phases wasn’t so naive as to think that the majority would put integrity over the party line.

Am I real? Do I exist or am I smoke and mirrors? I had no idea that supporting LGBTQIA+ rights, believing immigrants are people, knowing that DEI was evening out the playing field, thinking that pregnant people took precedence over fetal tissue, etc. meant that I am an illusion.

And then there’s the sense of doom that comes over me that sometimes happens simply because I forgot to eat and other times there are full on histamine dumps attached to absolutely no mental story but is just because I have hEDS, MCAS, and POTS.

Lean into that crank, Jamelle, please! The more journalists speaking up will help tip the scale into more people realizing that none of this is remotely okay.

Not to mention the bottom up processing we do by default, which takes longer and is more accurate but is usually actually processing things faster—just more stuff, so it takes longer. Neuropsych exams just reduce this inaccurately to “slower processing speed.”

brain works. Also, I rest so that I can be of service when I need to be. I also try not to get into the weeds of the daily horrors, because they add fuel to the fire. At the same time, I don’t turn a blind eye to it, because that is also not helpful. Balance is hard to find, I know. ❤️

I have struggled w/ this for years and I can’t find an answer in CBT or any type of talk therapy really. My comfort, when I can find it, comes from understanding that I have a brain that is pulsing w/ empathy and a need to solve problems and neither of these things serve me well when I am not in…

I love that this is helping, but I question why a therapist would overlook the crushing weight of the hellscape that we involuntarily find ourselves in and instead find a way to make your righteous anxiety, rage, and grief about you instead of affirming that you are having a reasonable response. ❤️

was forever caught out in public sobbing over my mother. But even this I now see as a powerful experience and not a negative. It has ultimately been very healing for me to bring these feelings of grief to the surface to process.

I have experienced a real downside to this type of associative memory though too—hearing “you are my sunshine” always reminds me powerfully of my mother, who I was always afraid of losing and who then died when I was 29 and a new mom myself. That song was everywhere when I had a little one, and I…

years ago I practiced several times a week at a studio that burned palo santo ceremonially. Now, when I do this breathwork at home, I can smell and taste palo santo, despite there being none present in my home, due to the link my brain has made between this type of breathwork & the original setting.

I think of our traits as neutral, and their positive or negative value as situational and subjective. One autistic trait of mine that serves me well much of the time is my keen association between the sensory world and my memories. I have been practicing a certain type of breathwork at home that…
