how do my autistic comrades understand autistic burnout?

Understanding your emotional needs is key to staying regulated. When you know what supports your well-being, you can better manage stress and prevent burnout. It’s not just about unmasking, but about truly caring for yourself at a deeper level.

I keep noticing a pattern in one of my Talmud shiurs. I often read sugyot as questions of harm, honesty, repair, and moral courage. Others in shiur read the same text as procedure, authority, and financial mechanics.

Someone can be regulated in the morning and dysregulated by the afternoon. Someone can be regulated at home and dysregulated at work. Someone can be regulated while joyful and dysregulated while grieving.

You’re super autistic reminder that YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO INTO THE OTHER ROOM AT ANY POINT YOU WISH

Autistic futurism isn’t about “including” us in the future. It’s about imagining futures that only make sense because autistic people are in them. Different rhythms. Different values. Different ways of knowing. Not cured. Not managed. Not normalised. Alive. Truly alive. On our terms.

We need to stop referring to everything external as autistic meltdowns and internal as shutdowns. They’re MUCH more complicated than that A meltdown is not defined by whether other people can see it. A thread 🪡🧵🧶 Read till the end before commenting 🙏🏼💙

Healthy autistic friendships feel calmer over time, not more chaotic. If every autistic connection ends in overwhelm or rupture it’s not because you’re “too autistic.” It’s because no one taught autistic pacing.

Do you need support from your loved ones but don't know how to get them to listen? Do they want to support you but don't have the tools? My workshop for the families and allies of autistic adults is a 5-week space that will guide them in allyship. www.theautisticcoach.com/allies-autis...

No, you fucking dunce. Plenty of us have been speaking for decades. You and your incompetent and violent buddies brought this on everyone. And continue.

Jesus was a socialist. Jesus was queer. Jesus was autistic. Jesus was a rabbi. Jesus fought a system that was corrupt to its core. Jesus was Jewish. Jesus wasn’t really his name - it was Josh.

Joseph doesn’t become whole in our parasha. Not even close. He doesn’t suddenly integrate his trauma and break the cycle that’s been happening for generations. He doesn’t reckon with the harm he causes, even as he (barely) names the harm done to him.

This is absolutely unacceptable. Jews need to resist having our pain turned into an engine of hatred and bigotry against Muslims. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Department of Justice is acting like Donald Trump’s personal attorney and law firm. This is abhorrent.

Neuroqueer Talmud is back! We treat the rabbinic tradition as something alive and unfinished, and take seriously the rabbis’ own struggles with doubt, contradiction, prayer, absence, and intimacy with the Divine.

I really don’t love that the entire civil war on the American right seems to be about Jews, but here we are.

Joseph is queer and autistic AF My takes on this week's torah portion

What do you understand an autistic meltdown to be?

If you’re in autistic burnout, you don’t need optimism from influencers who tell you to play lego and rest. You need compassion. And a framework that treats your needs as real. Burnout is information. When you listen to it carefully, it can guide you back to yourself.

It’s time to rethink who Joseph is on our parasha

Autistic Burnout isn’t a black hole. It’s a signal. A painful one. It’s your body telling you that the way you’ve been living isn’t sustainable. The work is learning what your needs actually are - and building a life that honours them. It’s hard - and worth it. You don't need to do it alone.

Sky News legit using the shootings in Sydney to justify going after immigrants in the UK. Jews being used as currency as always by the far right. Shameful.
