Autistic people sometimes communicate in different ways than allistic people. These differences can be in word choice or tone, but can be the medium of communication itself. Using assistive technology to communicate doesn't diminish our personhood, our intelligence, or our worth

If we could harness power from the dread ADHD'ers feel about their upcoming tasks, we'd never need energy again


Prioritizing the experiences of neurotypical professionals, parents, and caregivers shifts the goal away from supporting and accommodating autistic people's needs. Over the long-term, this focus stagnates community supports in a way that makes being autistic so much harder


Our ways of self-regulating are limited by what has been modelled for us. Without good, diverse models, it's so easy to get stuck in self-regulation approaches that aren't actually authentic to us. Seeking these self-regulation models is such an underrated path to growth


Being AuDHD often feels like ADHD and autism are locked in an epic battle, exhausting internal resources… until they decide to collaborate on making functioning impossible


Every single freaking application: "Simplify this document with AI?" Me: "No. I need AI to fuck off"


When we have co-occurring conditions, like ADHD and OCD, the traits of one can make the traits of the other harder to spot. Understanding the differences, however, is so important; it allows us to use different strategies in different situations and for different experiences

Born to be a weird little forest creature, collecting shiny trinkets forced to have a job and do the forest trinket thing on evenings and weekends


Supporting neurodivergent communities means taking our accommodations seriously, even if you don't understand them. By all means, it's okay to learn more and try to understand, but your understanding and comfort isn't necessary for making my world more accessible to me


The number of articles that tell people with ADHD that they need to have a routine, without explaining how to do that or acknowledging the challenges of routines with ADHD honestly frustrates the hell out of me
