Autistic people, and disabled people are being targetted and it isn't by accident.

@oliver48.bsky.social Hello Oliver. Sending you my solidarity, warm regards to you.

🚨Our statement on #Budget2026 Yet more Government actions that place the burden on Disabled people instead of taking responsibility for an unequal and inaccessible society that the Government has the power to change. www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/dr-uks-...

We can only measure a society by how well it treats its most marginalised people.

I found myself an autistic therapist who I think is right for me. I'm thankful that I have. The NHS and social services are dangerous. ADHD private services are dangerous. It is a jungle. Thankful to have PiP so I can fund the therapeutic support.

Responses to ADHD medication can vary significantly among autistic individuals. Some may find that their ADHD symptoms improve, while others may experience an increase in challenges related to autism, such as sensory overload or emotional dysregulation.

Look what I found. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This is bullshit. Nothing in there about helping autistic adults, making sure social services and the NHS are punished if they don't support autistic people. Nothing about putting into law the requirement for care coordinators. Just worthless beige bollocks.

Deliveroo, etc, are so good for autistic people. I just have to give them a number. And there are regular offers of 50% off your order if it is over £20. That offer lasts for 3 orders.

There are still good radio stations.

If you have been loved you have lived.

I'm going to ask to go back to 30mg of Elvansse, but I'm not sure if #ADHD medication is for me based on my experiences so far.

My experience so far on Elvansse for my #ADHD has been this: on 30mg, my racing thoughts decreased, especially at bedtime, but I felt more depressed. Also, I felt it wore off too soon. On 40mg, my anxiety is worse, and my racing thoughts are worse than on 30mg. My blood pressure is slightly up.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

It’s wild that in this day and age, some companies still say the only way to reach them is… the phone For autistic people, that’s not a small ask A “simple” phone call can mean anxiety spikes, rehearsing sentences, overwhelming dread, adrenaline crashes, and many hours’ worth of energy gone 😢

WTF are they spending it on? Not on social care, that's for sure.

This post is true, but for what reason, and who is toast? Is it just Herr Starmer? www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW9K...

Currently hanging on the phone to the DWP because they've stopped me 40 quid a week because of switching to #universalcredit.

So Royal Mail lied about delivering my medication today, which means 2 days without any, and 3 tomorrow. Why do AuDHD people have to go through this? The chemist issuing titration meds and the company that diagnoses should provide plenty of meds to cover such eventualities. #AuDHD

Royal Mail is now delivering NHS prescriptions. What could possibly go wrong?

Anxiety is the most common comorbid diagnosis with adult ADHD. #ADHD #Anxiety

Why do autistic people have to accept their loneliness? Do people who aren't autistic have to do the same? Loneliness is a health issue. It damages your health.

This is bullshit >> "They sometimes described the autistic experience around loneliness as inevitable, but it can be managed through self-acceptance and self-understanding."

Loneliness is the adult autistic experience. Made much worse by the NHS and social services lack of support.

If you didn't understand autism and adhd and all you had to go on was Twitch streamers, you'd think AuDHD was lots of fun with glitter. 🤨

I've been awake since 1:15 am, and my ADHD meds had worn off, so I couldn't get back to sleep, and I couldn't take them earlier because then they'd wear off earlier. I'll be glad when the increased dose arrives. #ADHD

The next step of titration for me is Elvanse 40mg. #ADHD

If you think autistic people are the only ones who mask, you're very much mistaken; humanity masks. It drives me crazy how everyone is jumping up and down, saying how cool everything is. Even the poor bastards who are depressed as hell.

Welcome to #AutChat, a weekly BlueSky chat for autistic & similar people at Sundays 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern/21:00 UTC / 9pm GMT! autchat.com/faq/ #AutChat hosts chats on topics related to our experiences as neurodivergent people. See our past topics here: autchat.com/all-topics/

There are many life coaches and therapists who speak from a position of privilege. You don't need them. You need a therapist who understands what it means to be marginalised. A therapist who doesn't see themselves as fixed, and you broken. A therapist who is autistic, and by your side.

"Oppression is distressing, but this distress is the natural and normal human reaction to abnormal, inhuman situations. Let’s not forget this."
