Would you feel comfortable attending a group psychoedcational therapy? Gaining information about your experience of autism alongside others who may have had a similar journey?

Beth 💙 Self-awareness is the basis for self-acceptance. Without these, the is no sustainable welbeing. Chose your knowledge base from autistic sources and learn strategies to develop self-love. It's never external, it has always been about your internal world. You CAN do this!

The name Synergy Initiative comes from the feeling that I get when I interact with autistic and ND people. It was a game changer and a life saver for me. I believe that interacting with ND community is VITAL for our well-being! It provides validation, acceptance and hope.

You were always the one with the power to change your life. No one and nothing can provide that for you. A tough lesson to learn for me, with all my attachment issues, but hey! Turns out it works, so I say it was worth it!

How many people can relate? #AskingAutistics -on one hand, we have the internalised ableism, 'wrongness' and aloneness -on the other I've always felt that it was everyone else that was wrong, not me. It was everyone else that behaved like there were stupid, not me.

Maxwell #AutisticLiberation 🌟Cheshire Cat ᓚᘏᗢ, It's a spectrum within itself for me. One end is a 'milder' as in don't want to speak, heaviness, numbness etc Middle is closing my eyes and going 'to sleep' but being conscious Business end is on the floor, shaking, not able to move, speak, keep my eyes open,yet still conscious

Anna O'Sullivan Beth 💙 Well, first thing is to look for Autistic people talking/ writing/ cartooning about their experiences. Read books by Autistic authors. Re frame that you are simply learning about how you function, which does not define WHO you are. That's another hole to dig into :)

When we force children to hug others, fx family members, we are teaching them to sacrifice bodily autonomy and boundaries for the sake of others’ perceptions of polite behavior. This had consequences! #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity #Neurodivergent
