Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

autistic adults (me) have a lot of the same needs as autistic children (sensory regulation via going on swings for two hours) but fewer ways to access those things (weird for solo adult to go on swings) and all the adult ways of doing that shit costs a bunch of money (aerial classes)

“You need to speak up if you’re having trouble” My good fuckwad, I was raised undxed autistic, so no matter how excruciatingly bad things were, I was told I was being drama/lying for attention. I no longer have any idea how much discomfort I am in, up until and including when I’m in full meltodown

A lot of autistic people exist in a world where people make it clear that we did something wrong, but hardly ever explain what went wrong. After enough of this, confusion, anxiety, and self-doubt become near-constant companions in social situations

People cannot seem to understand--or refuse to understand--that not all disability is static. With many conditions, some days are better than others. That doesn't negate the disability. It doesn't make the shitty days not count anymore.

Neurotypicals: Life isn't fair. Get used to it. Neurotypicals when an autistic needs accomodation: If we did that for you, we'd have to do it for everyone or it wouldn't be fair.

Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.

Me too. I went to an extremely rural school. K-8th but only 800 students. That 1 day a week was the only time I was around other ND kids, and it was some of the best education I got. But I understand experiences vary widely, and I don’t ever call myself “gifted” anymore bc ew.

Most spectrum people I know have social overstim/anxiety because, since they can remember, someone in their lives has told them how they're too much, doing it wrong, being weird, acting "off", or otherwise relating to other humans incorrectly. So, yeah. That weighs on a kid, and later, an adult.

The galaxy falling back under the thrall of the Empire used to feel like the weakest aspect of the Disney sequels but now they feel like the most realistic. It wouldn’t even have taken 30 years, give it just 4 and the Star Wars news-anchors would be asking, how can Palpatine win the debate this week

I don't think everyone is "suddenly" having adhd and autism. I think millennials were raised by parents who were ashamed of having children that weren't "normal" so we were forced to mask so hard that we "seemed" normal but were "just a little strange" and now we're all learning to unmask.

Least-favorite autistic experience: Being told what I think, knowing that's not what I actually think, and then if I try to say that's not what I think, being told that I "don't want feedback" It's as if I'm not the one not listening here

I have a theory called "the autistic threshing" which is what happens when autistic people encounter a broken or inefficient system, and try to logically interact or fix it, then end up broken and bleeding themselves.

Now that we undeniably live in a post-information society we should more openly talk about how the creation of fantasy has become the major site of both economic production (see the entirely hype-cycle driven tech sector) and political power (see the conspiratorial fascist political turn)

when you're autistic, exposure therapy for social situations often doesn't really work. Because it's not an irrational fear pf social situations for us, it's not really social anxiety. For us, the social situations are ACTUALLY unsafe. Exposing us more doesn't change that, unfortunately.
