A reminder that “Autism isn’t caused by Tylenol” is important, but “Autistic people aren’t a problem to solve” is even bigger.

SEX (Now that I have your attention, that is what causes autism, not Tylenol, since it’s genetic) That’s it. That’s the post. 🤷‍♀️ #Autism #Autistic #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent

I'm old enough to remember the non-affectionate "refrigerator mother" as the explanation for autism. That was totally bogus too.

Better understand and accommodate your #autistic employees by picking up a copy of my new book, "Before You Fire Them - A Practical Guide to Understanding Your Autistic Employee’s Traits, Intentions, and Communication Style", on major online book retailers! www.booksamillion.com/p/Before-Fir...

When someone asks you "what's wrong?" but nothing's wrong, that's just how your face looks #ActuallyAutistic #Relatable #Meme

I still feel the reason we have an “autism epidemic” is observer bias, that modern life doesn’t have many places where you aren’t constantly around people, and low level noise of light, for hours, until whatever neurodivergent you are becomes very obvious.

My primary mode of relating to people is sharing information I've read pertaining to their interests and situations. If I'm really lucky, I get facts shared back in response. This is the real autism-to-autism communication.

The ADHD struggle of spending over an hour looking for your phone, only to find it in the apron that you put your phone in so "You wouldn't forget it."

Adult life under capitalism is designed to stretch NT people to their limit. Most autistic people break on day one and never get the chance to repair. Burnout layers itself on more burnout. The resulting trauma makes one numb, if you're lucky.

people who get genuine joy out of being a troll/ragebaiting just kind of disappoint me. maybe im too autistic to get it idk. but i think it’s weird to fuck with people and make them legitimately upset for the sake of a joke. that seems pretty lame and unfunny to me

I have finally started to grasp that I can slow the fuck down and do less. Productivity does not equal worth. #autism

Autistic people!

Accommodations for autistic people are so straightforward people do them by accident all the time. There's a local private dog park that made a video to explain how to get through their gate(s). I bookmarked it and watched it a bunch of times. This for everyone, please 🥺

AUDHD is intense deliberation followed by decisive action, like taking all the materials needed for a project, collecting them together, putting them in a box or a bag, then forgetting completely about this and wondering where all the tools went

Not listening to Black women is going to be the reason America collapses. That is all.

Y'all could *try* listening to Black activists for oh, let's say, a year. Assume they know what they're talking about when it comes to the flaws and fault lines of a nation that their ancestors' forced labor constructed. Just you know, since we've tried literally everything else? See what happens?

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

Wow. I just found a brilliant video. I don't think I've seen Autistic meltdowns portrayed so vividly. I've had events where everything seemed to go wrong all at once and it just cascaded into chaos. youtu.be/Zej9tSZ5IQs?...

Many autistic people need to fully talk through and successfully resolve an emotional conflict before they can proceed comfortably in a relationship. #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent
