🤯 Found out that October is an awareness month for many things… - Selective/Situational Mutism Awareness Month - ADHD Awareness Month - AAC Awareness Month - Disability Employment Awareness Month - Down Syndrome Awareness Month - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

For Selective/Situational Mutism Awareness Month, I’m reposting these 2 deeply vulnerable posts I wrote earlier this year. I hope my sharing helps people better understand the deeper aspects of Selective/Situational Mutism. Part 1: www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/selecti...

Idk what possessed me to write a long-ass post about my celebrity crushes but here ya go! www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/celebri...

I wonder if there are other Autistic or Neurodivergent people out there who play The Sims in a similar way that I do. Let me know if you do! www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/inner-w...

Here are some ideas I have on what I’d like to see in a job training programme for Autistic people, based on my lived experience: www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/job-tra...

For most of my life, I didn’t know how to scream. Now I’m learning to scream like my rock idols and reclaiming my anger. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/learnin...

This was a difficult post for me to write, but I felt it was important to share this story so that other Singaporean Autistics who had similar experiences wouldn’t feel alone. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/job-tra...

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

In response to RFK Jr. saying that Autistic people “will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

Sharing this interview I did with Autism Dialogues for Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month! I think it gives a good overview of my background and experiences as an Autistic person in Singapore. autismdialogues.com/2024/08/15/i...

This Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month, please remember our neurokin who lost their lives to systemic racism and ableism. Rest in peace Victor Perez. And I still haven’t forgotten Ryan Gainer, who we lost last year. 💔

Police violence against neurodivergent and disabled people is a pervasive and systemic problem. We collect resources on our page “The Cult of Compliance and the Policing of the Norm”. stimpunks.org/policing/

Sharing this for Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month as a reminder that some countries and cultures are decades behind in their views of autism (and disability in general), and Autistic people such as myself struggle a lot in such places. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/autism-...

After sharing my last post about the connection between my selective mutism and childhood trauma, more memories and realisations have continued to surface. Perhaps they finally feel safe enough to resurface now that both my grandparents are gone. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/selecti...

Sharing this for Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month! ♾️ I wrote this manifesto in 2016, after quitting a job I was placed in by a job training programme from an autism organisation. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/manifesto

I’m running a 15% off sale at my Etsy shop for Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month! Check it out at autisticasfxxk.etsy.com! Buying stuff from my Etsy shop is a way to support the work I do here, so that I can continue creating more free content and resources for Autistic folks!

Ding ding ding! I think I finally figured out why I started whispering. Since my grandparents lived with us and I was completely mute to them, I had to whisper when talking to my parents or sister so that my grandparents wouldn’t overhear my voice.

I think where I’m at now is I can now clearly see my mutism was a rational response to everything I experienced in childhood, and it makes me so mad I was made to feel there was something inherently wrong with me ’cos of that, which led to feeling I was fundamentally inferior to other human beings.

This was a very hard and deeply vulnerable post for me to write, but my inner child really wants people to understand what I went through. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/selecti...

Not me creating Zack de la Rocha in The Sims! Not as cute as the real thing but this is the best I could do lol

Chinese New Year is my most dreaded time of the year as a Chinese Autistic person. The holiday is my ultimate Autistic nightmare. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/cny

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

Being autistic sometimes feels like my personality is behind a paywall

bad news for israel.. the last time a Palestinian came back from the dead they made a whole ass religion out of it

This warms the cockles of my heart 🥹

In recent memory, white men who have cited autism as an excuse for their horrible, unethical behaviour: Greg Wallace Boris Johnson Neil Gaiman Elon Musk

So goddamn sick of privileged white men using autism as an excuse for their bullshit

I've been struggling a bit to find my voice on a more visual platform like Instagram but I think I like my latest post about neurodiversity-lite and some issues with how the neurodiversity movement is going

A post I wrote when the Gaiman allegations first came out. www.autisticasfxxk.com/blog/problem...
