Gatekeeping and guilt: why I don't always do what's best for me, because I 'don't look #autistic enough'. Sometimes it feels easier to ditch what you know would be best for you out of fear of being judged by gatekeepers 👉bit.ly/2Rkju1X
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a twitter account, asking it how #ActuallyAutistic people go to hair salons without having a panic attack? #AskingAutistics
I thought I was the only one who did this 😭💖✨
When it comes time once again to bash PETA, I like reminding people they put this out in full sincerity and never issued any apologies whatsoever.
Today is a try not to cry meltdown day. I hate last minute changes to routines; though hearing my regular schedule for the rest of the year is out the window has me feeling completely lost. #ActuallyAutistic
Anyone else find ‘persons with disabilities’ to be kinda annoying? Seems to be US / Medical Lens? It get really grating. I am autistic (eg part of my identity). I have impairments. I only become disabled due to barriers. Feels like PWD day gets it backwards :(
Parent asked for suggestions as his autistic child is “being rude” #ActuallyAutistic my reply: she’s not being rude a) She likely answers honestly • if you don’t want honest answer, don’t ask question • if you need her to lie (eg Christmas presents), give her a script 1/2
My father in law came over and asked 2 for a kiss and when she said “no” he said “gonna take one anyway” and my husband stopped him and explained that we’re working hard to teach her that her “no” has power and deserves respect and I’m not crying YOU’RE crying
🇬🇧#BAME #Autism ..Can anyone help Paula a BBC writer ? " I’m working on a character that’s a Black autistic woman,I would really like to speak to Black autistic women. Could you help put me in touch with someone that might speak to me for my research?" [email protected]
Today I went to a work social event! It sounds really silly, and I took my other half as a bit of a human shield, but this is the first work related social event I’ve made it to in nearly two years. Good job, me, for not bailing even when my #anxiety was high 😊 #ActuallyAutistic
This report from Ofsted is important. It highlights things parents of autistic children also told us: half waited more than a year, and over 40% parents were turned away when they asked for an EHC assessment. We're calling for a national strategy to meet autistic children's needs

Hello! Do you have any books (fiction) to recommend that feature autistic character (whether explicitly or not)? Ideally something where autism is portrayed positively and realistically (need to cheer myself up while learning) #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics thank you!!
Three days of meltdowns, frustration, and bad news. Do you ever find yourself stuck in a cycle of frustration when you’re so mad at yourself for your reactions, you can’t seem to get past it? Meltdown-guilt-frustration-meltdown freaking sucks #ActuallyAutistic
#AskingAutistics especially adult diagnosis people. Do you think back to your childhood and remember things you did, suddenly thinking "how the FUCK didn't anyone realise?" I keep getting memories of stuff I did that "ticks the boxes" but was never picked up on at the time.
After a couple of little glitches, my blog is finally back up and running properly 😅 Hopefully it is showing ok for everyone else as well 👌
