It’s darkly funny because it’s true. If you’re not autistic, please for the love of God- LISTEN to autistics!!! #ActuallyAutistic #Autism

I’m proud to say that after the pandemic lockdown, many rejections and burnout… I finally have a job again! I start receptionist work in a week. A good way to start #AutismAcceptanceMonth! #hireautistics #ActuallyAutistic

I think I saw this poster in school! Translation: you can only behave one way. #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAcceptanceMonth

My autism was mislabeled as... Friendly but weird... annoying... self-centered... too much... not enough... introverted... finicky... overly sensitive... talks too much... smart but... capable but... [insert positive attribute here] but...... (there's always a but)

Get rid of the unspoken rule that talking is the only form of communication. It’s not!!! #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAcceptanceMonth

My nephew’s on the spectrum like me. So is a cousin, possibly my dad and more. I’ve heard many stories of families on the spectrum. But sure, vaccines cause autism. #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAcceptanceMonth

On this the last day of #AutismAcceptanceMonth… don’t forget about us adults!!! It should be obvious that kids become adults. So many organizations just focus on kids. What happens when we grow up? We’re older but we still need help, too. #ActuallyAutistic

You might see me shut down a lot, unfortunately. Especially in large groups. Wish I didn’t, but what can I do? That’s my brain saying “I’ve had enough.” #ActuallyAutistic

Don’t lie: What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word #autism? Yup. White boys. Sad but not surprising in a male, white-dominated country. This is why they tend to get diagnosed first. #ActuallyAutistic

As an autistic white woman, I highly suggest you follow more autistic POCs. #ActuallyAutistic #autism

Many people have trouble remembering that I’m disabled. I guess I seem really put together- until I struggle to describe things and feelings. Until I start making noises or go mute. Until I forget tasks… I even forget people. #Autism #ADHD #ActuallyAutistic

Invisible disabilities are real. #Autism #ADHD #ActuallyAutistic

Say “disabled”, not “differently abled”. It’s okay for you to acknowledge our struggles!!! Just say disabled. Otherwise it seems like you’re ignoring what we struggle with. #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #ADHD
