This week’s post for #AutismAcceptanceMonth talks about autism as a spectrum and the less obvious ways that it might present. All presentations of autism are valid, and all autistic voices deserve to be heard. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs. (1/4)

For #AutismAcceptanceMonth today we are talking about autism and our mental health. Alexithymia, the impact of a late diagnosis, and imposter syndrome are all important topics. Raising awareness of them can help other #ActuallyAutistic people know that they are not alone!

For #AutismAcceptanceMonth we'd love to hear from other #ActuallyAutistic people! Please do message us your answers - we'd love to hear from all ages and backgrounds, regardless of whether you have a professional diagnosis!

Today is the last day of #AutismAcceptanceMonth 2023. As we’ve said all month, autism presents in a lot of different ways. The #ActuallyAutistic community is wonderfully diverse, so here are some other voices! (N.B. The creators usernames are taken from Instagram).

I am so proud to have been part of University of Lincoln - SEDIC - H&H this year. Being nominated for the Lincoln SU Awards was an incredible achievement, so to win not only the One Community Award, but also the overall Winner of Winners Award was such an unexpected honour! I can't wait for next year!!

We are honoured to have won the One Community and Winner of Winners Awards at the Lincoln SU Awards tonight. We are so incredibly grateful to all of our committee members, past and present, for all of the hard work that made this possible. We are so excited for the year ahead!

Um, hey British Museum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

If you’re interested in disability awareness please do follow me on my disabilities officer account. I have a lot planned 😊

We're at the point where someone could say 'I can't work because I'm too fatigued/in too much pain to get out of bed', and people would be like 'have you considered building a desk over your bed?'.

“why does everyone have ADHD now” should be “wow, we were missing a lot of people who needed help with their ADHD because they didn’t fit our narrow expectations for what it looks like, who else are we missing, what can we do to make sure they get the accommodations they need”
