Many autistic people find it hard to control their tone of voice. The tone we aim to use might not be the tone we end up conveying. E.g., when I answer my phone (a rare event to be fair), I try to make my “hello” sound warm and inviting, yet I often sound irritated and/or scared.
These monks found a stray dog and decided to adopt it. He's now known as Friar Moustache. He spends his day strolling around the monastery and bringing joy to others.
‘I’m emotionally overwhelmed right now and I don’t want to say something to hurt you unintentionally. I’d like to delay this conversation so we can revisit it when I’m more prepared.’ - self-awareness like this is key in sustaining healthy connections.
You might be autistic if you’ve noticed that some mental health professionals pathologize and devalue autistic traits. As a mental health professional who is also autistic, I’d like to share the difference between describing a “shared trait” and a neurotypified “symptom.”🧵

It may seem trivial, but this is a gigantic international collaboration that will be changing the face of astronomy for decades to come, and the name matters. The name should inspire the same spirit of scientific exploration and shared humanity as the telescope itself.
A recent center survey at Goddard showed that 64% of LGBTQ+ employees are not comfortable being out at work. The telescope name and the repeated dismissal of concerns is yet another reminder that queer employees are not considered equals at NASA.
There are documents available detailing a few of Webb’s conversations with President Truman and Senator Hoey on the Senate’s investigation into homosexuals at the State Department, as well as documents on NASA’s firing of Clifford Norton in 1963.
Webb was second-in-command while the State Department investigated and fired hundreds of employees for being suspected homosexuals, inspiring practices and polices that spread throughout the federal government, which continued under his leadership at NASA.
Here's an extract from my video addressing some of the misconceptions people have about the #BanABA movement. It's not about 'a few bad apples' (therapists who do ABA incorrectly). It's about therapists who do what they were trained to do. Full video here: youtu.be/UIjGGtTFdGY
I made that strip when Eddie Redmayne came out in the media in support of TERF in chief JK Rowling. When I heard that Eddie Izzard did the same today, I figured it was worth reposting...
Idk who needs to see this, but the show Love on the Spectrum was not created to teach you about autism or the Autistic experience. It was created so that real life Autistic people get put into awkward situations for your entertainment. So you can laugh at our community.

Discovering you're autistic as an adult ALSO means feeling relief that you were spared Autistic Conversion Therapy as a kid, because that shit is insurance-funded and doctor-encouraged in every state and it causes deep, lasting trauma in our population.
Discovering you're autistic as an adult means being furious at every adult in your life when you were a kid for missing what was obvious and training you to behave in ways that were harmful to you. The rage dies down but never quite goes away (yet).

@bitinguranklez It’s like there’s a very small window in which a tone is perceived as ‘right’ and anything outside of that is perceived as ‘wrong’ 🙏🏻
Many autistic people feel abundant empathy for people, animals, insects, plants and/or objects. I feel a lot of empathy for all of the above, but especially animals and insects. I feel I must smile at and play with every animal I meet, and protect or rescue every insect I meet.
we’re rapidly approaching enough material for someone to do a literature review of all the autism researchers complaining about autistic people asking them to be a little less dehumanizing in their writing
Absolutely! I was 25 when I was. I am now 34. I now class myself as nine years old.
I got my Autism diagnosis last week at age 35, Im still processing it mentally. I didn't expect this as ive been self dx for 2 years and didn't think it was important to have my thoughts and feelings validated, now they have been its left me in an odd place. Anyone else? #autism
So, autistic people are considered “disordered” because we often: say what we mean, have no hidden agenda, focus on one task for a long time, prefer deep connections over shallow ones, are pragmatic, question what we don’t know and like to get straight to the point? OK…!

@KevinABWhite I just gasped. I DO THIS TOO. I have intrusive memories (Bullied, Embarrassed, & Confused: The Greatest Hits) that pop up occasionally. I started doing this organically, but in an effort to shake myself out of the moment, I say “YEP.” Not loud, but firm. It’s one of my mains.

“It’s not mental health Jaques is just a narcissist” may I remind everyone. You can be the problem, and still have problems!! A persons personal behaviour whilst wrong does not invalidate a persons mental health issue!! #LoveIsland
I feel like people who feel sorry for Jacques haven’t dealt with a narcissist before, lucky them #LoveIsland
