Me being autistic isn't the problem.

Neurotypicals being uncomfortable with me being autistic is the problem.

No, silly, I never eat alone. I eat with an audience of pets hoping I’ll drop something

This handsome little gremlin is 13 today. He has requested that everyone line up with treats ready, and a belly rub from everyone as well.

Autism is internal: sensory experiences, processing differences, how we connect, and what helps us thrive

It goes way beyond the superficial, stereotypical representations out there

You may not see it all… but it’s real and it’s valid ❤️

Refusing to fund SNAP is ableism.

Cutting Medicaid is ableism.

Terminating ACA subsidies is ableism.

Slashing affordable housing is ableism.

This regime has a very clear eugenics agenda.

They’re targeting services they know disabled people rely on to survive.

We are not expendable.

I can't believe in 2025 there's still people out there that are saying "women shouldn't play video games"

Like really? What a stupid childest take!

#AccountabilityIsComing

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

“i gave you a roof over your head and clothes on your back” yes the government mandated minimum amount of care i am very well aware

The autistic experience of thinking deeply before speaking… only for the moment to pass because everyone else already jumped in

Sometimes we just need a little more time to process and sort through our thoughts

And when we do speak, it’s with care

#AutismAwareness #inclusion

I think I know why so many people think "everyone is a little autistic"

It's because autistic needs are human needs.

Because our needs are not a different category of need. They're the same as everyone else's...

Trump will illegally defy a court order just so he can starve poor people over a political dispute.

Autism is a social disability
It's also a sensory disability

What it isn't is an empathy disability
Or a rigidity disability
Or an intellectual disability

Breaking this one down because not all of this is self explanatory...

Periodic reminders:

Vaccines save lives & parents need discussions with trusted professionals, not propaganda.

Transgender children & their families need evidence based support, not stigma.

Autistic children & their families need evidence based support, not conspiracy theories.

Get yourself an autistic girl that will love you until she dies and will also love you after she is dead and will probably haunt you so you don’t feel lonely

The biggest myth I’ve hated since forever is: If a person is stuttering, it means they’re lying.

No, asshole! It means my brain runs a million miles a minute to compose the right words, and my mouth fails at keeping up!

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Claiming that an autistic person doing activism is just attention seeking is so crazy cause like have you ever tried to get us to care about anything we don’t give a shit about

Disabled people aren’t expendable.

We aren’t “less than”.

Disability isn’t a moral failing or a punishment.

It’s a part of life. It will happen to almost everyone eventually.

Instead of assuming you will be the exception, help us create better social supports.

Commit to inclusion.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.”

Jane Goodall

"Autism never existed before"🙄

People in Europe used to believe that a fairy replaced their child with a changling as an explanation for sick or disabled children, infant mortality, or even cases of autistic regression.

So yes autism has always existed.

Based on
what it says
on the calendar
we are currently in
the fall.

Based on
what’s being said
by meteorologists
it feels like we are in
the summer.

Based on
so many saying
they’re oddly ill
we’re clearly still in
plague season.

The COVID-19 pandemic did take peoples rights away… and it is still taking people’s rights away.

Even if you don’t realise it. Your right to safer air and better health has been taken away.

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Tylenol.
Tylenol who?
Tylenol doesn't cause Autism, you dumb motherfucker.

Autism is a disability not a disease.

Autism is a disability not a disease.

Autism is a DISABILITY not a disease.

You can't cure a disability.

We need SUPPORTS. Not to be treated like we have the plague. 🤦‍♀️
