I don't feel good, so I'm curled up on the couch creating a massive spreadsheet database of my home library. For fun. Folks, it took the world three decades to figure out I'm autistic.

Is #EbeneezerScrooge #Autistic? Can he be read as #AutisticCoded? The latest Autistamatic video asks these questions. #AutisticSky youtu.be/ZxhoMrlEYtg?...
Colourful i-Base graphic. The main text reads: RFK changes CDC vaccine webpage without informing CDC staff. At the top is i-Base’s website address: I hyphen base dot info. At the bottom it says, subscribe by email. A smaller, tilted square graphic on the right, reads: HTB news. 2025. HIV treatment, prevention, access, and more. The colours used in the image are two shades of red, green, bright yellow-green, light blue, orange, light green, dark blue, teal, mustard, and white.
Anti-vaccine propaganda that says #vaccines may cause #autism added to US #CDC website:

DYK that some autistic people experience paradoxical reactions to medication? This means that due to differences in our brains, we can experience the OPPOSITE of a drug's intended effect. In my life, this has meant anticonvulsants causing seizures & benzos having no effect! Wild, right? #autisticsky

New neighbours popped by to introduce themselves while I was in a panic packing for tomorrow's flight.
Which means I had no social mask ready
They got a whole infodump about local resources. Oops
Ah well. If I'm the weird friendly neighbour, they won't be wanting to socialise much 👍

"Autism doesn't exist"
Okay grandma like you don't collect 163838 things and talk all about it as if it's not your special interest or anything..

If you want to know what autistic people think of RFK statements about autism... We are fucking tired of him and his remarks.

Who in the right mind claims circumcision causes autism? I don't know whether to laugh or be mad. Like What?
I also don't remember being circumcised? 🤣 Sorry had to laugh.

( ID: Tumblr user maxknightley: it's funny how "being autistic" + "having a wide variety of interests" + "the various social and financial obligations of an adult" combine to create a situation where I have to actively set aside time to Watch Cartoons or I'll never get around to it Tumblr user maxknightley: Yeah sorry I can't hang out this weekend I've been putting off Playing Toys for five months and I can't kick that can down the road any longer )
I have so many hobbies, and interests - but I feel like I'll never get to them because if I'm not actively interested in it at the moment I won't touch it.
...which is frustrating.

"But you don't look autistic"
Oh I am sorry. Maybe my mom should have taken more Tylenol. 😏
In all seriousness, I am joking and coping with the statement Tylenol causes autism. Please do your research why autistic people exist.

( ID: Neurotypicals be like "why do you look so mad" and I'm like. I'm not? and then I remember I'm supposed to be performing Happiness like a court jester. )
Yes I don’t know how to turn my face off which definitely explains the weird looks I get.

I believe autism saved me. That intrinsic need to follow rules and know right from wrong saved me. It kept me fighting and alive because I KNEW that rules weren’t being followed and it made me angry, which kept me alive. #SAsurvivor #autism #autisticsky #tylenol #childhoodtrauma #autismIsGood
Autism announcement: the moment we get together, do some shadow work, and break those generational curses, we become fucking lit. Magical ass beings. Act like you know because we do. #autizzy #autisticsky #autism
My fellow autistic peeps, you are not a problem. You are not an issue that needs to be fixed. Ableist people are the problem.
#autisticsky
It's all eugenics. Autistic people are not a problem, but of course Trump and RFK will say so.
#autisticsky
Whatever RFK has to say about our autistic community, please remember you are worthy and loveable just as you are.

( ID: Just a reminder, we already know the cause of autism and why we see it more nowadays. It's not some secret. The rates have not increased. Visibility and diagnosis have. Back when rfk Jr was a kid, high support needs autistic people were lumped under "mentally retarded" (which obviously is a harmful phrase now) and shipped off to institutions so they were out of the public. Low support needs autistic people were just called special or odd. I see plenty of autistic people in their 50s and up. Now, we don't have institutions to lock people away in and more people who would have been called just a little odd are now actually diagnosed. Add on that girls and women are actually getting diagnosed, which wasn't a thing even 20 years ago, and you get the impression that there are autistic people everywhere. We know autism is genetic. While we don't know the exact genetic cause, we know spontaneous mutations can occur or it can be inherited. There could be something causing more mutations but I don't think it's Tylenol (if it was Tylenol we'd see higher rates back in the 90s early 00s and less today because less pregnant women take it nowadays) or vaccines. If the government really wanted to help autistic people, they'd fund medicaid, snap, and other assistance programs. They wouldn't gut the department of education which allows for accessibility in school. They wouldn't want to eliminate dei because that includes neurodivergent people trying to find a job. They wouldn't talk about disabled people as a burden who are leeches on society and don't pay taxes (their words, not mine). But they're not doing any of that. It's not about helping autistic people, it's about eugenics. )
They don't want to help neurodiverse people. They want us gone, one way or another.
It should disturb you.

If someone were to ever ask if I have an ability like Rain Man or an 'autistic savant' ability, I'll respond with the following with a straight face and an annoyed look in my eyes.

Some mornings I wake up and totally understand why people randomly shave their heads. It is a sensory nightmare today. It feels oily and it keeps touching my skin.
#autisticsky
There is more people being diagnosed autistic because more research about autism is available, there is more tests available than before and still becoming more accessible, people are realizing they've been undiagnosed for years, etc.

What do you mean my autistic brain has to figure out what to eat everyday? Why can't I just take a pill that will make me full?

( ID: Autism will lead you to believe there is something fundamentally wrong with you in the way that there always seems to be an invisible barrier between you and other people that stops you from connecting to others no matter how hard you try. But at least there is birds. For the longest time, I had no idea I was autistic. My Mom had my tested for ADHD, but it felt like I had been left behind by everyone - even the school system. I had trouble catching up in my subjects, in social settings and in relationships. I mostly spent time alone in my room or by myself - because at least with me I didn't have to "pretend". And hey, I could watch birds from my window. )
I wish I had been given the proper aid and materials to see me through my formative years - maybe then I wouldn't of spent so many years struggling.
Even now, I still have trouble.

The autistic sensory struggle of your hair feeling "oily" and on your face and you want to chop all your hair off.
