trans people are not the problem
immigrants are not the problem
striking workers are not the problem
climate activists are not the problem
it’s the tories, they’re the problem
seeing the tories commit to using trans people as just a sacrificial distraction from their incompetence and corruption is a new low for britain and that’s saying something
Instead of the external presentation we can see with autistic meltdowns, shutdowns see the individual turn inward. Whilst a shutdown can appear calm from the outside compared to a meltdown it can be equally exhausting for the individual experiencing it. #AutisticShutdown#Autism
Did you know that, in autistic and SPD brains, normal sensory inputs are often re-routed toward the area of the brain that processes pain? This explains why so many of us are sensory sensitive.
Let me know if you'd like more info on this and I'll create a post😊
My "high functioning autism" is basically everyone else seeing me as "completely normal but maybe just a bit picky/particular"... while internally it's me in constant sensory overload, social overload, and fighting against my executive dysfunction to just do stuff
I love saturdays because I get to play my favorite game: how do I sleep in enough that I feel refreshed but not so much that I feel a creeping existential dread and the feeling that I’m wasting my youth
Autists may find Christmas overwhelming. It’s the: presents (new things can be scary, yet there’s a pressure to look ecstatic), extra people (noise and social stimulation), lights and food smells (sensory overload), routine change (a lot to process) and more. Please be gentle. ❤️
When ill, neurodivergent people may become overstimulated by the symptoms of their illness, rendering them unable to carry on as usual. Even a slight cold - a stuffy nose and scratchy throat - can be a lot to process when you’re in tune with your body and notice every difference.
I woke up on Monday morning, yawned and dislocated my jaw... Starting my week in A&E with my jaw hanging open for 4 hours wasn't the plan😭
Hope everyone is having a slightly more successful week!
Having Happy Birthday sang to you in public and random people joining in is one of those experiences where I am simultaneously extremely grateful but also wanting the ground to swallow me up.
