Shaming an autistic person into changing their mind doesn't work. It just causes them to associate you with negative behaviour. We have to be approached with logic and understanding on a level we relate to.

Why do so many of us autistics push ourselves past the limits over & over even when we understand the burn out cycle? If anyone has any insight into the reasons why you do this personally, I'd love to hear about it.

The world should understand that not all neurodivergent folks have the same set of skills, despite sharing the same diagnosis.

I’ve spent much of my adult life coming out of hiding. Initially, only allowing myself to be fully seen in the presence of a chosen few; those with eyes that see with acceptance and compassion. - #AdverseChildhoodExp #ComplexPTSD #BecauseWeAreWorthIt #SelfAcceptance
