"Wow, you know a lot of... a lot of..." "Useless trivia." "Yeah! It's great that you know all that!" 🫠 #ActuallyAutistic

Just watched Eva Noblezada's last curtain call for #Hadestown and I am in tatters 😭 She really is something special, and the perfect Eurydice. We need the pro-shot.

I just got to work and the first thing I did was make a phone call. I'd like some applause, please 😅 #ActuallyAutistic

I do this too, and it's debilitating. It impacts my relationship to every single person I know. Does anyone have any advise? #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics

It's always amazed me how people seem to understand others talking at low volume with lots of background noise. I always thought my hearing isn't as good as theirs, but... This is a sensory thing, isn't it? #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics

I keep seeing 'poor eye contact' on 'what is autism'-type things. Bitch, my eye contact isn't poor. It's exactly right. You're just greedy. #ActuallyAutistic

I see all these tweets lauding Welcome to Wrexham's episode about autsim. Haven't seen the episode myself yet, but as an autist with a deep, deep love for Wrexham, this makes me so happy. I'm so proud of my little town. #ActuallyAutistic #Autism

I shouldn't browse #Autism. So many antivaxxers, autism parents, ABA advocates and other Bad Takes. It's bad for my health. #ActuallyAutistic

I'm burning out and I don't know why. This happens periodically. I was working yesterday, got a message and was immediately on the verge of a breakdown. That told me I'm closer to burning out than I'd expected. Any tips for earlier recognition? #AskingAutistics #ActuallyAutistic

So who else got diagnosed after complaining about social anxiety/phobia? I remember going to the career counselor at college and explaining "I think I'm developing social phobia" to explore my options in support. Yeah, no phobia, just autism. #AskingAutistics #ActuallyAutistic

#AskingAutistics how do we feel about robot waiters? I was in a restaurant last week and it was my first experience with them. I don't like the smalltalk that comes with human waiters, but this felt so... cold, distant and isolating. I'm not a fan.

#AskingAutistics is it normal for your government to restrict driving for autistics? I've found out mine requires a test and meeting with a psychologist, who'll determine if you're fit to drive. No idea why I never had to, had my license since age 19. Wondering if it's common.

"Sméagol don't want fish" was once my favourite book quote, and reading it again today was like meeting an old friend. It made me chuckle all over again, and reminisce about the first time I read it. Words are wonderful. #ActuallyAutistic #Tolkien #Quotes

So many puzzle pieces today. Really shows how World Autism Day is all about autism as a deficiency and not as a day to celebrate autistic people. Ditch the puzzle pieces. Ditch the blue. Ditch the professionals talking over us. Listen to autistic people, instead. #autism

You never see a moderate terf, where hating on trans people is just one of their hobbies. They always make it the only personality trait you'll see and bring every single conversation about any topic back to trans people (and especially their genitals). Terfs are the worst.

Pretty much everyone I'm following here is now on BlueSky. Looks like I'm finally ready to leave this hellscape. I might stay gone, I might not. For now though, this is it.
