'Reindeer piss' to be more precise 😀 #SuomiMainittu

When we stop asking how being different harms us and rather ask how much normalcy harms us, then we can actually ask “what happened to you and what do you actually need?”. Until then there’s no accountability for harmful systems and their impact on us.

Absolutely go f**k yourself. Autism is not a "get out of jail free card" for being an arsehole. Do you know how hard so many autistic individuals work to fit in, to be treated "normally"? This type of crap makes it harder for all of us. Being autistic doesn't give you a pass to be a predator.

Two hours sat in a peaceful forest made perfect by views of this incredible shy grey headed woodpecker. Sanity levels recharging. #Finnishwinter #autisticbirder #greyheadedwoodpecker #birds

A visitor to a forest bird feeding station. I am really grateful for these places as the days get shorter and I need somewhere to sit and breathe. #Finlandwinter #autisticbirder #blackbird #SAD

My last trip out to the coast for the year as the ice cover grows. There are still some distant whooper and mute swans hanging around. #autisticbirder #Fiinnishwinter #muteswan #whooperswan #coastalbirds

The first visitor to a new feeder in the garden. I wonder how long before the squirrels find it. #gardenbirds #bluetit #Finnishwinter

could we please have a space where we don’t feel like we have to make a compelling piece of art every time we post and can just express ourselves. So done with the “engagement=self worth” thing #auDHD

Almost all mental health problems and mental illnesses are more common in autistic people than in the general population. This new publication by R . C . Psychiatry is an excellent resource for information and practical matters surrounding autism and mental health www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-healt...
