A lot of autistic people, despite everything, actually like being autistic.
Not all, of course. But many.
And I don’t just mean ‘making peace with it’.
I mean: it's bound up with who we are.

@glassofbrycet @AndrewGold_ok 😂 only if you’re my Aspie grandkid. Then, watch out! Mean strangers on the internet usually fly over my #actuallyautistic head. My granddaughter does announce to neighbors that I’m intimidating.q

Very quick tweet but I now have a formal diagnosis of autism. I want to thank Dan and Phil for being one of my first comforts and spins. Love y'all fr.

The autistic adult feeling of sitting in silence because you once thought you didn't deserve help or support. I sit in reflection thinking about what a terrible feeling that is.

I want this public. I am #actuallyautistic and I have spent most of my life helping others @dailyecho @DailyMail @guardian @Independent @BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News and at any journalist who will stand up for me before I die as a result of the shock of this. Fear. Physically ill anyway. Struggle to walk far.
How dare you give a vulnerable autistic person just a day to leave her home after 11 years. Already physically unwell. Leaving me in such shock and fear I fled to my mum in London and had to leave my only comfort. My cat. With her. As she has a huge flat. To leave someone so terrified she collapsed outside her mother's door is horrific @StonewaterCG @StonewaterHomes

Friendly reminder ahead of #AutismAcceptanceMonth to talk to #ActuallyAutistic folks about autism-related matters, NOT some “organizations” or “autism mommies/daddies/whatever” who are only after cash and attention, and think that they know better.

Things I wish people understood:
1. My silence isn't rudeness.
2. I’m not ignoring you, I’m overwhelmed.
3. Social energy is finite.
Why is this so hard to grasp? 💀

The Literal Language Barrier:

Me: autistic people prefer direct communication
NTs: what are you implying

Check out Em feat. Mister & Mimi (cats)'s video! #TikTok vm.tiktok.com/ZNRQ9ddPH/ @Keir_Starmer #ActuallyAutistic #MentalHealth this is what we have to deal with because we exist with the damage and conditions that we already had? The poor treatment/punishment adds trauma.

I’ve spent 41 years performing a version of myself that could survive in public. Autistic masking isn’t a coping strategy, it’s an identity theft you do to yourself.

When people say 'networking,' I’m like, can I just stay home and eat snacks instead?
Like, that’s my comfort zone

Holy shit!

#ActuallyAutistic
my therapist told me that as an autistic person, i tend to intellectualise my feelings rather than express them; and that my obsession with rationalising emotions, both mine and others', stems from a need to survive situations rather than fully experiencing them.
