NT Friends & colleagues have often told me that my autistic super-hearing must be “awesome” and “useful” No. Hearing gnats mate & every sound within 50 meters of me simultaneously is incredibly painful, debilitating, and annoying AF. And no, “just put in Loops” isn’t useful.

when people understand that they're autistic later in life, after decades of looking for "their people", they often actually begin to mask MORE imposter syndrome and years of performing have conditioned people to lean into whatever everyone else is doing this can be dangerous -

A positive autistic space is one where authenticity is celebrated, not questioned. We thrive when we’re allowed to unmask, be ourselves, and feel safe.

Ah - new term ‘school skirt length’ messages have landed 🙄 Reminder: Rape culture is engrained in everyday social/cultural practices. It puts focus on girls’ bodies as sexualised or inappropriate rather than boys’ and mens' behaviour. In policies, watch for the word 'indecent.'

It irks me when an autistic person tells other autistics “I’ve overcome my autism and become a successful and useful member of society - you should too”. Actually, it more than irks me. It enrages me. Autistics can perform neuronormativity as much, even more, than everyone.
