Please: We need to help caregivers understand that autism is inborn, meaning that trying to “cure” autism will not help their child one bit—though it will likely traumatize that child while warping their parents’ attitude towards them.

re that whole "autism should be considered as more than one syndrome" thing...privately yes, publicly no. publicly the weird people need to present as united a front as possible. privately we need to know as much about OURSELVES as is useful for OURSELVES in terms of OURSELVES. Venn Diagram Pride.

Canadians are being warned to treat any medical information we see from the US as misinformation and although this is obvious to me, maybe some moots should know this too

Women are told that we aren’t ‘this’ or enough of ‘that’ ALL THE TIME.
Because of that or in spite of that, we become more confident, resilient, and/or self-aware.
I want women to give that same energy back to men. TELL THEM ABOUT THEMSELVES!

There is no clean list of autistic traits that one can neatly separate from trauma.
Autism and trauma often grow together.
Because being autistic in an unsafe world is traumatic.
So the real question isn’t - Is this autism or PTSD?
It’s, what does my nervous system need now?”

welp, here’s even more confirmation that we’re going full North Korea dictator mode over here in America
Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

while some elements of ABA may be useful and beneficial depending on the case, in general ABA is traumatizing dog/compliance training and I FUCKING HATE IT

Autism is a spectrum because it includes autistic people who have no visible signs of autism, autistic people who have every stereotypical visible sign of autism & autistic people who fall everywhere in between.
We all exist. We are all valid. And we are all deserving of support.

Lockdowns etc… took away the coping and masking mechanisms of many Autistic and ADHD folk.
This may have been the first time they realised they’d been masking their entire lives, and their traits suddenly became super pronounced.
That doesn’t mean lockdowns caused it…

Autism is when your brain responds to "microscopic" differences as if they are assaults on your existence, triggering such intense anxiety that you become completely nonfunctional.

I don’t romanticise autism.
But I’m also done pretending the real problem is us.
It’s the hostile environments, the absurd expectations, and the constant demand to be palatable.
