Opinion | Peter Dutton is openly advocating the Great Replacement Theory — a racist ideology denounced as antisemitic and undermining of democracy, @keanebernard.bsky.social writes.

My baby starts high school tomorrow. I'm really anxious because high school was such a horrible experience for me, but I definitely won't be telling them that. They'll be ok. Things are different now. And they have support. #audhd

Self care is kicking my partner out of the house and watching Wrestlemania in my underwear.

What's the point in putting in the work to be mentally healthy when the world is turning to shit around you?

Cruel irony no. 436 - when your love language is acts of service but you're also easily overwhelmed and struggle with demand avoidance.

I am so sick of being constantly overwhelmed by the pace at which life moves.

You know that you're a middle-aged #autistic when you have to start wearing an elbow brace to bed due to chronic inflammation in the joint from sleeping on your own t-rex arms 🦖😂

Before you judged someone for being disabled, unhoused or struggling …remember that most people are one accident, medical emergency or stroke of bad luck away from same fate. Judge the capitalistic system that treats us as cogs. Judge those who value economic contribution above everything else.

Self diagnosis is always valid. Official diagnosis is a luxury that not everyone can access, to my eternal frustration. #neurodivergent #audhd #actuallyautistic

No, I don't want to 'earn a living'. I didn't ask to be born into this capitalist hellscape. Tried to opt out a couple of times and apparently that's the wrong answer too. 'Life is precious'. Only so long as you can attach a dollar figure to it, fuckers.

Undisclosed roller derby league: Our culture is perfect and if you have a problem with it then YOU are the problem and you should leave. Me: K, bye. Undisclosed roller derby league:

So this is happening in my home state. 200 doesn't sound like a lot, but considering it's already almost impossible to get an appointment, it is a lot. People will die because of this. #mentalhealth #mentalillness

Where my #rollerderby people at?? I hope you're coming to the #jrdaworldcup in July... It's going to be epic!!

Did you know that people receiving a #disability pension in Australia do not have marriage equality? We cannot get married without risking decrease to our payments, which are already at, if not below the poverty line. If your partner works you can lose it altogether.

I mean I'm not giving anyone medical advice on the internet and CERTAINLY not regarding Cannabis, but I am gonna leave this here: "The use of cannabis for ASD is well tolerated, safe & appears to be effective in relieving symptoms (especially seizures, depression, restlessness and bouts of anger)."

And that, in fact, there are OTHER zebras! Some of which who have great ideas on dealing with this frustratingly horse-driven world. We are not some lone failure when we get together we ✨dazzle✨

The stigma around #ADHD #medication still exists. I have spoken to many parents of ADHD kids who hesitate to try meds because they are scared to be seen 'taking the easy option'. No. If your child had diabetes would you deny them insulin because maybe their pancreas just needs to work a bit harder?

Hoping to be able to recreate here the productive and enriching beehive of souls that taught me so much on Twt As an intro, here the link to one of my most popular talk (23K) re adult autism. Looking forward reading and learning from you all :) bernadette www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQVw...

I am spending the first day of 2025 crying in bed between panic attacks because this is what it has cost me to make it through the holiday season #audhd #burnout

I wish disabled people weren’t viewed as invisible. I wish people respected & listened to us. Perhaps if they did - more folks would be masking and demanding clean air. More people would be proactively protecting their health because they would realize they won’t be the exception.

Today in HELL YES, RESEARCH! Motor coordination is an ACTIVE process for many autistics, even those who can excel physically. Eating, walking, or just sitting can require concentration, and if that concentration gets broken, they can have accidents. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

If you feel resentment for me as a seemingly able-bodied person for not "having" to work full time, I suggest you sit with that and examine your true understanding of #disability, #productivity and #selfworth.

Accepting that you have a #disability and cannot work full time also comes with some more hard truths. I will never own a home. I will likely never repay my #hecs. My #superannuation will not support me when I am elderly. I simply cannot attain the same milestones as my peers due to my disability.

When I tell people that I cannot work full time, they often look at me like I have two heads. Full time work is the base level of participation in society for most, particularly when you appear to be 'able-bodied'. #actuallyautistic #audhd #disability

I hate December so much. The increased social expectation. The lack of structure and routine. Can't wait for it to be over! #actuallyautistic #audhd #merrychristmas

Hello friends. I have decided to start a blog. Tell me your opinions re: #ghost vs #wordpress.

Somewhere in an alternate universe, I like to think that I exist as a cat who lives in a book store 📚🐈‍⬛

Because holidays, we're resharing our list of often non-obvious things that can cause distress for an autistic person. We hope that by highlighting such stuff you can help the autistic people in your life (or yourself) thrive during this challenging time. thinkingautismguide.com/2022/01/auti...
