The Erasure That Altered Who "Counts" as Autistic The "too articulate" people we’re now told "invaded" autism were there from the very start. The person who first described them in 1925 was erased from autism's history.

RFK Jr is getting his database of autistics from Medicaid and Medicare.

1. Grateful, for now, not to be on either. He isn't (yet) getting it from insurance companies (but I do wonder if that is not far off).

Maybe I'm an outlier, but as an #actuallyautistc person, this reflects less on the Internet, and more on how I find general society to be.

I rarely feel good about myself, and getting dolled up is an accomplishment when you're disabled. So, one more Thirst Trap. You can be disabled, middle aged, and still be sexy. #ActuallyAutistc #hEDS

I knew it, I knew today was going to be a max #adhd (or possibly a max #actuallyautistc) day. I was away with the fairies while in the supermarket queue. The queue ahead of me had disappeared and the assistant was calling me back down to earth and to her till…

One of the most nauseating memes I have ever seen on Reddit & my response to it. No. I am not going to be kind to #MAGA I am not a doormat. You don’t get to be abusive, racist, sexist & expect sunshine & roses from me. #FAFO #ActuallyAutistc #ResisterSister

I can do a thing for a while, but I frequently end up defaulting back to the old way. How do you […]

Da che ho memoria, ho sempre avuto difficoltà a guardarmi allo specchio. Non riesco neanche a guardarmi in foto, tant’è che odio fotografarmi o farmi fotografare. È un tratto autistico, o sono solo io ad essere così? #autismo #adhd #AuADHD #donneautistiche #asd #ActuallyAutistc #salutementale
