What am I supposed to do? The care agency says carers can’t come in my car even though I’m the driver as I need business insurance. But insurance says I don’t and I just need business insurance on my policy if I’m using the car for business purposes which I’m not.

The way the autistic community has treated me is DISGUSTING. Especially threats I’ve received telling me who I can and can’t follow and if I don’t listen then I’ll be targeted and mass unfollowed.

people need to understand that by posting about others especially with 10k+ followers… you need to be aware the power you have to cause dog piling and severe bullying, threats and targeting. All over miscommunication and misunderstandings which is common in autistic people

the ableism in expecting every autistic person has the ability to know that what they say could trigger someone isn’t okay. The way we are expecting Autistic people to all have the same communication abilities and level of awareness and understanding is ABLEIST.

If the Autistic community continues this behaviour targeting people like what happened to me and 5 other then it’s not going to be long before you push someone to their death. Dogpiling and isolating someone by turning everyone against them could lead to someone taking their life

Also it’s DISGUSTING behaviour that people in the Autistic community are blindly listening to one side of a story before targeting someone. Screenshots that don’t provide the true context is not proof either. People need to get into the habit of finding out both sides.

The hypocrisy in the Autistic community and the one rule for them another for everyone else. And targeting people so severely is toxic. I can seriously understand now why Neurotypicals for YEARS have said ActuallyAutistic community is a cult. After what I’ve witnessed happen to me and others.

This happened to me recently. Someone didn’t tell me I triggered them so I could apologise. Instead I was blocked and posted about. Many blindly believed them. They turned over 100 people against me/ caused me to be dogpiled and targeted. People spread lies that I maliciously triggered this person.

first the care agency said nobody could push me in my wheelchair due to health/ safety so I saved up got a bigger car, electric wheelchair, wheelchair hoist. now a year later they’re telling me carers cannot travel in my car unless I get business insurance

Those on ADHD medication know the struggle it is to get medication right now. I was without it for a few days but my pharmacist tracked down some. I was on xenidate but now Affenid XL. Not sure if there’s much difference.

This is day 2 without my ADHD medication and I feel like my brain is very foggy. I can’t focus as well as I need to, I’ve been sleeping a lot and I just can’t seem to do the tasks I needs to do. So I’ve been in bed most the time.

This explains what I went through at school in the classroom. I'd hear electricity running through the wall, the lights had a sound, the kids in the other classrooms, people fidgeting, kids outside doing sports... I couldn't filter the sound. They thought I had hearing issues and did hearing tests

When you go as far as threaten to destroy their livelihood/ accuse them of not being Autistic/ dr shopping/ accuse them of faking being trans. That's going too far. Doesn't matter what they’ve done, doing this makes you look WORSE. There’s a difference between bullying and holding them accountable.
