I used to think I had to work twice as hard to prove myself as an autistic person.

Now, I’m realising I deserve to work in places that don’t make me feel like I have to prove my worth at all.

(4/4) It’s also about acknowledging the barriers we face every single day.

If we truly want to celebrate neurodiversity, we need more than awareness. We need understanding, acceptance, and real change.

(3/4) Where “laziness” is a label thrown at you when, in reality, you’re just struggling to function.

Where masking your true self is the expectation. Being openly autistic isn’t always safe.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week isn’t just about recognising strengths.

#NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek

(2/4) Because we have our challenges. And what people don’t always understand is how exhausting it is to exist in a world that isn’t designed for you.

Where you constantly make accommodations for others, but they rarely do the same for you.

#NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek

(1/4) This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

I could talk about my achievements. My successes. But that’s not what I want to focus on.

I want to talk about the struggles of being autistic.

I love that my last post was like “I’ll try to post consistently” and... 19 days later 🤣

I went offline for a bit, but I’m back. I shall try to post consistently 👀

Here’s a little promo from my book, from an section where I tackle myths and misunderstandings. This is one of my favourite lines.

Excited for The Witcher 4! Playing as Ciri was my favourite parts of TW3, so a full game? Yes please!

So wild—

Just saw the news that AC Shadows is now a March release 😯

Most likely 😂

Banjo Kazooie is my childhood

KindleQuote with a black background. All-caps white text reads, "Neurodivergent individuals often face unique challenges in a world primarily designed for neurotypicals, leading to increased trauma risk. In addition, trauma can affect the brain — possibly more significantly in those with unique brain wiring." Underneath, smaller yellow text reds, "John Marble, Khushboo Chabria, et al. Neurodiversity for Dummies"

I’m excited for more Tomb Raider remasters, and for AC Shadows! What would make this year so much better is a new Resident Evil, or at least an official announcement of one 👀

Well, that’s an interesting spot to choose 😂

Yeah, I’m in the same difficult position, Insta being my main. For now, I’ll keep it, but we shall see 🙈
