And just like that having an autism diagnosis is dangerous. #autism

Colin Killick from The Autistic Self Advocacy Network did an amazing job sticking up for autistic Americans after disgusting comments from the head of the Department of Health and Human Services that will only serve to spread hate and misinformation. #autism abcnews.go.com/US/video/aut...

Trans women are women. Period.

A fantastic Reddit post from a self-diagnosed autistic person who is frustrated and sick of everything they have to deal with. Self-diagnosis is valid! #autism #autismacceptance

THIS! This right here is why I am such a proponent for self-diagnosis. www.irishtimes.com/health/your-...

We will likely never know the true number of autistic people in the world, but at the moment there are 61.8 million people who are officially diagnosed. There are millions of others out there who can't get an official diagnosis. This is why I support self diagnosis. #Autism #AutismFacts

April is Autism Acceptance Month, also called Autism Awareness Month. All this month I will be sharing facts about autism. #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance

Have you remembered to take your medication? I forgot twice this week! #ADHD #Reminder

Best camo I've ever seen. 🤣 #memes

I got 99 problems but eggs ain't one.

Who needs other styles when you can wear the exact same style in every color under the sun? Or even have 10 of the same thing in the same color?! #neurodivergent #fashion

When your ADHD has other plans... #ADHD

Have you had food recently? Did you forget to have lunch? This is super common for those who are neurodivergent. I would forget lunch every single day if it weren't in my calendar with two different reminders to go eat. #Autism #ADHD #Reminder

I'll be supplying memes long after the internet shuts off. #meme

Being able to come home and drop the mask is vital to the mental health of a neurodivergent person. #Autism #ADHD

My husband talking about some really random thing: I know you're not going to be able to answer this but I'll ask anyway...... Me: Well actually, I just watched a video about this on Youtube and did a wiki dive all about it for an hour. Let me tell you everything. #ADHD

This is your chance to escape the mindless scrolling if you're stuck. Go, do something on your to do list! #reminder

Here’s to money: the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.

Neurodivergent relationships look different to neurotypical ones in a lot of ways, because they are willing and eager to accommodate their partner's needs. #ADHD #Autism #Neurodivergent

Games with complex rules are one of an ADHDer's worst nightmares! Between having to sit and listen to the rules, which is a complete dopamine (excitement) killer, and trying to remember all the rules the ADHDer is likely to hate the entire experience and feel foolish afterward. #ADHD

Many people who love shopping, have shopping addictions, or shop on Amazon so much they have no idea what they ordered are chasing the dopamine high you get from buying something. But that feeling is temporary and by the time it arrives the excitement is gone. #ADHD #dopamine

Boys (and men) need more than one compliment a year. They need compliments on more than just their muscles or great hairstyle. Next time you thank someone for doing something add a compliment! It can be as easy as "You did an amazing job"

One of the biggest problems with fruit for autistic people is that it isn't a consistent experience. One grape in the bunch might be extremely tart. The next one might be more juicy than you like.

A few days ago I posted this without realizing that this discussion actually has several parts so I wanted to repost it with the full context. #ADHD #booksky

There is still SO MUCH to learn about autism. We've only barely scratched the surface. More research is needed! We've finally reached the last autism fact until April when I'll have a bunch of new facts for us. I hope you've enjoyed them all! #Autism #AutismFacts

This is a reminder to make that phone call you've been meaning to make. #reminder

Autism Speaks is one of the most well known autism charities in the United States and many in the autistic community consider it a hate group for the way it has portrayed autism as a monster that steals parent's children, as well as many other controversies around what the group has done. #autism

You WILL close. #meme

Autistic burnout is a serious issue and modern society doesn't allow you enough time to recover from it as it can take months or even years to work past it. #autism #autismfacts

#truth #autism

When you're Autistic every day is a different sensory challenge. What may have been perfectly fine the day before might be the very thing to cause a meltdown today. One of the reasons routines are so comforting for autistic people is that it reduces the amount of sensory surprises. #autism

Let's be honest, we all have days when our ADHD feels like it's AD4K. #ADHD

Stimming is an activity that helps soothe the person doing it and helps them regulate their emotions. While great strides have been made to make stimming more accepted in society there is still a long way to go. If you see someone stimming in public don't stare. Don't draw attention to it. #autism

When was the last time you had some water? I mean actual water. Not coffee, not juice, not soda. Water. If you don't like the taste of water (I've been there) you can add something to make it taste better or try adding ice. If it's still hard, reward yourself after! #adhd #drinkwater #water

Autism is much more complicated than the volume button on your TV. It doesn't just range from mild to severe. Instead, autism is more like a mixer, where each aspect of autism is at a different level for each person, creating a unique autism sound for each person. #autism

If I had known this was an option when I was a kid I would have taken it! #meme

Weighted blankets aren't just some new fad, they really work, and not just for autistic people. If you have trouble sleeping for any reason, consider trying a weighted blanket. If you don't like it you probably have a friend or family member who will. #autism #sleep

Sometimes things just come out meaner than you meant them too and that is when the S hits the F. #Autism

I find it deeply amusing that the anti-vaxxers who think vaccines cause autism are making whooping cough cases go up and now there's a study that shows whooping cough increases autism risk. #autism

There are a lot of different reasons why an #autism diagnosis can go wrong. Something as simple as sharing your toy can be enough to end your diagnosis, even if you have trauma with adults. I wrote about this experience with my brother in Issue 2 of my newsletter buff.ly/3E…

I've been trying to get back into reading fiction books and I honestly think this might be what is wrong with me. #ADHD #Burnout #booksky

Pain is unique for every single person, but that is especially true for autistic people. For some, the slightest brush against their skin can feel like agony. While others can go hours with a broken bone and barely feel it. #Autism #AutismFacts

To an outsider an autistic meltdown might look identical to a tantrum but they couldn't be more different. Tantrums are the emotionally immature trying to manipulate people. Autistic meltdowns are medical emergencies. #Autism #AutismFacts

These are scary times, which is why I lent my expertise to help write this guide on how to have safe food in these terrifying times.

I'm two and a half weeks into a massive flair of my chronic illness. Looking at me you wouldn't think there's anything wrong with me at all. Not all illnesses and disabilities are visible. Artist unknown. #chronicillness #disability
