a photo i took of neon signs in hong kong, and above it, on green, text that says the title of the essay "I didnt always know", and then a link to it at matricardo.substack.com

I wrote a piece over on my substack about how it feels a couple of years on from getting my autism diagnosis.

Love you to read/share/sub etc

go.bsky.app/Ngen3TY My autistic artist still has quite a lot of spots open too! It's disability month, and your reminder that autism is a disability! #autistic #autism #starterpack #actuallautistic #disabilitymonth

Heartening.

However the backdrop to this is dehumanising a group of people, of humans, and historically it doesn't stop there.

Authoritarians, and militaries, dehumanise people to reduce the barrier, the value block, against torturing and killing them.

Especially annoying for most of us who are #actuallautistic because we care about things like that!
