Oh hello :) I have 49 followers. I have never been fond of the idea of "followers". What are some other words that describe the idea of non-hierarchal internet social connections?

I wrote this article for the late-diagnosed women who have been fighting an invisible war, the topic of which hits close to home in my family.

We shouldn’t have to:
Censor ourself to stay in someone’s good graces.
Feel punished for speaking our truth.
Weigh the cost of asking for honesty and care.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
So many systems reward the appearance of care
instead of the practice of it.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
#SupportNeedsToBeReal
We’re learning it’s not just mind over matter.
It’s heart over habit.
Nervous system over performance.
Truth over fear.
And slowly, us over expectation.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
We weren’t melting down or making scenes.
We were quietly scared.
Quietly pulling back.
Quietly building workarounds so no one would notice.
It wasn’t weakness.
It was survival.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
As we unmask, we feel unrecognizable—
from the shedding of the self we had to carry,
to the quiet forming
of the self we were never allowed to be.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
We’re not controlling because we’re rigid. We’re controlling because we remember what it was like to disappear inside panic. And we never want to go back.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
We didn’t cry, so the world called us strong. But we were sensitive. We are. Just in a way that ran quiet and deep — under the surface where no one could see it.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
A two-column table titled “💬 What we wanted to say” and “😟 What we feared would happen.” It outlines common thoughts and the anticipated negative reactions, especially in autistic or neurodivergent contexts. Rows: “I don’t feel okay in this environment.” → “Stop being dramatic.” “This noise is too much for me.” → “You’re being difficult.” “I need time alone to recover.” → “You’re antisocial or rude.” “I can’t handle one more thing right now.” → “You’re lazy or unreliable.” “I don’t know why I’m overwhelmed, but I am.” → “Then you shouldn’t be here.” “I think differently — this doesn't make sense to me.” → “You’re being difficult on purpose.” “I need help with this.” → “You’re just making excuses.”
What I Wish I Could’ve Said” and “What I Feared Would Happen
#LateDiagnosedAutism
Within the echo of my childhood, there was laughter, board games, inside jokes — a connection.
Then came the shift.
The quiet fading.
That’s when the world became more complex.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
Sometimes it feels like my soul is standing in a room no one else ever walks into.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
Hope is underrated.
People talk about realism like it’s wisdom — but for some of us, realism meant staying small, silent, masked.
Truth is what unmasked me.
#LateDiagnosedAutism
I sold my home to build a dream.
I lost that dream.
Now I’m trying to believe there’s meaning in the unraveling.
That clarity might come—not despite the undoing, but because of it.
