Sharing this explainer and encouraging others to do the same, particularly now. Entertaining education. What more could anyone need? "Profound Autism" & Anti-Neurodiversity by Ember Green. #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #ProfoundAutism www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWF_...

It's been a trying week of caucasity. Imma leave this here for anyone who needs it 👑 #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticWhileBlack #AutisticBIPOC www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6mY...

Ok. The world has utterly exhausted me. I rest. I bounce back. Then the same old inaccessible garbage pushes me back down. Relate? #AskingAutistics

I CAN'T GET EVERYDAY BUSINESS DONE BECAUSE THERE'S NO OPTION BUT THE PHONE. The phone is inaccessible to me. I spend the rest of the day and night in meltdown and that's unhealthy and unsustainable. Will businesses please comply with #disability law and use the secure systems they already have???!!

Join us in a cozy, low-pressure space to share your art and be in community with other #QTIBIPOC. This is a gentle space to bring work-in-progress or just come to listen, witness, and recharge. No need to have something polished or to perform. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

Looking outside our private communities to add a few more people to our roster of testers for Pine.ai. I'm considering their sponsorship and, as you know, I do nothing without community backing. Let me know by the end of this weekend. It's free access for feedback. #AskingAutistics #ActuallyAutistic

Thank you @raquelmartinphd 🙏🏽 Out here speaking the truth and foundation of Autastic and #AutisticWhileBlack lives. www.facebook.com/ree...#AutisticWhileBlack #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAcceptance

Minding my business, watching a comfort series, when on comes an autistic-coded character. Then come the robot jokes, the eye-rolling, the bullying team sport. Would the writers be as casually disrespectful with a more visible #disability? #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAcceptance

Hot of the presses. Hope it speaks to you ❤️ #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticWhileBlack #Autism #Autistic

If you're not autistic, please try to remember that autistic people can be incredibly sensitive to tone of voice—what a non-autistic person may consider a "firm" voice can feel like yelling. And if your autistic person has a communication disability, this dynamic may be behind their "behaviors."

Y'know how from time to time you might say to yourself, self? Am I really autistic tho'? And the screeners say ya b!tch. You is. DEEEEEEPLY #autistic. How-could-you-not-have-had-a-clue-for-forty-years autistic. Are-you-kidding-me autistic. Hi. #AutisticWhileBlack #AuDHD

Oh my good god it looks as if the registry is rearing its head again. You know they're going to scrape socials for our hashtags. It's either hide in a friendless hole or be hunted. Classic history repeating.

😩 ME/CFS or #AutisticBurnout? Dr. Alice breaks it down ⤵️ www.dralicenicholls....#AutisticBurnout? #Autistic #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticWhileBlack #AutisticBIPOC #Autizzy #Autsim #AuDHD

being autistic will have you saying shit like “i like when people are nice to me”

Also, let me just say, as I read this medical model doubling down against our very existence, the people at the forefront of my mind right now? Black autistic trans folk. Who among us is more erased? More persecuted? More wished away? If that’s you, triple down on loving your fine self 💛🧡💚

New paper alert! We psychometrically validated the Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory. Please check it out. The main takeaways are below, but this has been such a wonderful project! Open access paper tinyurl.com/CATIAUTISM

dawnjoyleong.com/2025/07/20/a... In my view, worth every moment spent reading this. About what ABA and its underlying bizarre belief-system really does to autistic people. Time to retire this ancient nonsense.

“…the book is so timely that its passing-over still feels shocking. After all, it follows the same unquestionable logic as all those high-profile discussions and debates about institutional racism and empire, and demands a very similar process of reckoning.” #autism

Sometimes people bounce off my work. Not because it’s wrong, or too basic, or too intense but because I ask the unexpected: To stop performing functionality. To stop proving ourselves. That shift can feel like a threat, not relief. It's not failure. It's the beginning of liberation. #Autistic

I'm only posting this because NC headphones are life-giving gear for us and they're $$$. At least you'll be supporting Autastic if you shop #PrimeDay. Sigh. #DisabilityTax #Autistic #Autism #AuDHD amzn.to/44swWc4

Representative & relatable portrayal of #autism is getting better but still, so rare. I have another opportunity to share your collected input with a major broadcaster. Help me do this for us. Comment with #Win and #Fail👇🏽 #AskingAutistics Need a list? www.autastic.com/autistic-min...

"This is not a PR effort." Sure. This ma$$ive company parades a single non-representative #autistic person while still prioritizing caregivers' and parents' voices. Textbook. ⚠️ This article uses identifiers the #disabled community has clearly reviled: nonverbal, profound autism, & differently abled.

Updated! www.autastic.com/autistic-min... #AutisticWhileBlack #Autistic #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Autizzy

What seems to not be understood is that #Autistic people are under +15x more cognitive load per second (my math) than allistic folk. We are built to process every 👏🏽 bit 👏🏽 of 👏🏽 input & need scaffolding to operate in AllisticLand. We burn out anyway because support is woefully insufficient.

Hit play on TWO comedy specials on @Hulu. Within moments both made autism jokes. And not the "laugh with" kind. #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #Autistic

Autastic is Black-founded & Afro-centric in alllllll the things. Fighting ableism , racism, and all the basic hate has worn me to a nub tbh. And still she persists. Your donations are everything. DM for tax-deductible amts! Appreciate you 🙏🏽 #ActuallyAutistic #Juneteenth www.autastic.com/support

When #ActuallyAutistic & #AuDHD nervous systems are overloaded and in distress, our clever brains divert resources away from executive functions such as planning, organizing & prioritizing. Having trouble "pushing through"? That's a sign you really need to stop trying. #Rest #Reset

OMG FOOD IS TOO $$$ I CAN'T STAND IT

We started a new cohort today and I gotta say, every time is new, fresh, and exciting. There's no work I'd rather do than using my gifts to guide others towards theirs. Thank you thank you thank you for allowing me to do this work 🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿 #ActuallyAutistic
