Autism isn’t something that holds me back. It’s part of what makes me me. I’m not here to be fixed. I’m here as I am and that’s something I’m proud of. #AutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic #WorldAutismAwarenessDay 🧩💙

👏👏👏 💯 #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

Facts right here. The autistic urge to know "why" isn't just for intellectual exercise but for actual reason and functioning



Neurotypicals claim that Autistics lack empathy. This is an example of projection. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

The people who see someone with qualities they want for themselves so they project their own personality defects onto that person and then try to claim that person‘s personality traits for themselves like they think they’re gonna switch places with the genuine article, are some

@Autism

Exactly! Unfortunately, they also taught “different = wrong/bad” in school. 😔 … #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

a lot of autistic pain starts with being treated like you are wrong, not simply different. there is a huge emotional difference between “my brain works differently” and “something is bad about me.”



It just happened again 30 minutes ago. While trying to explain something, I was yelled at & accused of complaining & arguing. No big deal, right? Wrong. I get hundreds of these false accusations per year. Over a lifetime, it’s extremely traumatic. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

The autistic experience of being perfectly, even overly polite and nice, and NTs still taking everything you say as aggressive, and taking their own shit out on you.



I feel dysregulated. It's an awful feeling. I hate it. I feel like garbage. #Actuallyautistic


I can speak if you have serious problems with how systems are designed. I stopped apologizing for being me years ago #ActuallyAutistic


Getting an autism diagnosis has been so eye-opening for me. What I used to think were major depressive episodes are just meltdown/shutdown??? I was masking, imploding, processing stressful situations on a huge delay and being unable to function. #ActuallyAutistic #Autisticwomen


It's both. The point should be that sleep alone is insufficient. #ActuallyAutistic

Neurodivergent people don’t recharge by sleeping. They recharge by being completely left alone long enough for their nervous system to reset



idgaf this is how y’all learn im #actuallyautistic

im saying this as a neurodivergent nigga btw i am actually VERY qualified to talk abt ts

Happy #AutismAcceptanceDay to all my fellow #ActuallyAutistic ppl! And to you non-#Autistic ppl, please Don't Light it Up Blue today, turn on rainbow lights instead! Rainbows are inclusive acceptance, light it up blue is *ALL* about hate!! Too much hate in world don't add to it!


They do the same thing with autistic people too, and reject us and make us feel like we're not good enough for anyone or anything. #ActuallyAutistic #RejectionSensitivity

People wonder why ADHD’ers have Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria while they call us stupid, lazy, and crazy. 🧐 XO, Dr. Jen



They’ll also decide that their determinations about my intentions & emotions are accurate, even after I tell them they’re not. I’m the only person who could possibly know my intentions & emotions, so when they claim otherwise, it’s just more gaslighting.😒 #ActuallyAutistic

As an autistic person, an aspect of communication I can find challenging to navigate is being hyperaware that, sometimes, other people can attach intentions and emotions to what I say that do not reflect how I feel or the place I’m speaking from.

You aren't a part of the autistic community if you use autism as a part of your identity and hate on other minorities. Especially when you're being attacked by the very same ppl for similar reasons. They're actively pushing us back in society. #actuallyautistic #AuDHD #Pride

The hubris of this guy….seriously…dismisses what #actuallyautistic people say & dismissed my anger at anti-vaxxers as misplaced guilt, to say we need to consider individual stories? My oldest was dxed in 1995, but this clown thinks he knows the autism community better than I?🖕


How many times has this 🤡 completely dismissed voices of the vast majority of autism community, esp #actuallyautistic testimonies, of how much we loathe and condemn the ableism & eugenics of the anti-vaxx cult? Only stories of a tiny handful that confirm his bias should be heard

I relate to this as #ActuallyAutistic. I also feel like I'm too wired differently to fit into the standard PI model or the Myers-Briggs. It frustrates me I can't fit in there, but the world comes across with neurotypical assumptions.
