Three friends. One trampoline park 🎉
Mark, Marcus and Michael met up for another sensory-seeking session at Gravity last week; this is what community looks like! 😀♾️

OK, so this is one of my final posts on my old blog before I commit to moving everything to Substack. This post is about a reunion I had with two people from middle school, whom I'd had a falling out with almost 30 years ago-- and how we patched things up.

Think it depends on how to use the sites.
Here on Bluesky, I use the #ActuallyAutistic feed to meet other autistic people like myself. It's not a guaranteed success, but it's a good lead.
Tonight I've read @drmbothapsych.bsky.social's piece, "Academic, Activist, or Advocate? Angry, Entangled, and Emerging: A Critical Reflection on Autism Knowledge Production," and I am on fire for this piece. 💥🎯🔥 #HigherEd please read it! #ActuallyAutistic www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...
The line between being autistic and doing your research properly when writing is razor thin. Does it matter to anyone else if I get the days of the week right for random dates in 2019?
Does it matter to me enough to look at a historic calendar? You’re god damn right it does.

What's the etiquette when somebody reveals that they're autistic to you? Is it rude or deceitful to not say that you're also autistic

Fennec Foxes feel like the most autistic of foxes to me due to their small size and oversensitive hearing due to their big ears that overstimulate their tiny bodies of these little desert foxes. #foxes #actuallyautistic #autism

When you pre-scripted an interaction in your head but it didn't go according to your plan and now your conversational partner is saying things to you and you're stumbling over your words because you don't know how to respond.

Our society is set up on the assumption that the only reason people do anything is out of fear or discipline. 1/2

Why Neurotypical Rest Is Burning You Out 🧠💤
Spend the weekend “resting”… For the neurodivergent brain, “doing nothing” isn’t rest. We need sensory quiet, social unmasking, and creative flow.

Ever had one of those days where, it's been so frelling long that you've forgotten what it's like to not be in burnout but you're also just mad at everything because there's no way out of burnout?
No official diagnosis & your GP threw out the preliminary test that said […]
Allistics seem to build alternative "realities" for each other, because they can't bear the thought of someone not liking their shirt, so they pretend that everybody likes everyones shirt. #ActuallyAutistic #Autistic
i wrote something about what it has been like to live inside a body that is breaking down.
it’s about what it means to keep choosing to stay while the future feels less predictable.

Mercury is happy, and is wearing a red long-sleeve shirt with a rainbow infinity print on it. He also wears the Asexual Pride pin.

No one has ever been excluded from the #actuallyautistic tag on the basis of not having a ""diagnosis"", in fact last time I checked an at least decent amount of people in that community understand that there is no autism diagnosis, multiple experts agree it's a PTSD diagnosis,
It's VERY important to have tags allistic people are not allowed in, especially bloodthirsty ghouls like Autism Moms. These are only two very different parts of the internet because of the #actuallyautistic tag.
Smexy ass ex-Amtrak P40 I saw before going out to eat. Honestly I like them way more in the CTRail livery. (also ignore Toullie I literally just got him from the mall) #trains #locomotive #trainspotting #amtrak #foamer #autism #actuallyautistic #train #locomotives #railfan #railfanning #diesel

I've had this floating in the data hoard for awhile, and it's about that time of year again, so here it is for anyone who might need it.

@dkub hahaha I think we deserve a world that requires no filters. I’m equally amused to share with folks, when they double take on some of things I say, that it WAS the filtered version. Hehe

Which brings us back to those questions:
1/ Whose problem is autism being treated as?
2/ And whose interests are being served by that?
And...
3/ What kind of future is being imagined??
