Need to do all of the things. Can't do any of the things/don't know where/how to start.
Is this familiar, and any tips that don't involve obsessively playing games instead?

What does the world need to learn from you that you know precisely because of the things that you’ve been through? Because of the shit that you’ve had to go through, because of the crap that you’ve endured?

Has anybody got a good academic reading on the concept of "self-advocacy fatigue/burnout"? As in, when having to be an advocate and role model for your own identity/rights becomes exhausting? #AutRes #AskingAutistics #Neurodiversity

"If we all worked under the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance." - Orville Wright
True in science, as well as personal growth. What have you been told is true that you've found out (or suspect) isn't?

I'm working to group and curate the massive collection of info I have on topics relevant to the later identified autistic journey, so it's easier to find and sort through. (Over 200 blog posts and 350 videos.)
Which topics are you interested in?

And we’re also known for thinking outside the box – meaning that if we’re forced to make false decisions based on faulty assumptions, then we are quite likely to make the ‘wrong’ choice.
Interested to hear others’ thoughts on this!

What if you could talk to a version of yourself 20 years from now? What would they want you to know? What can they tell you that will help you right now?

As an AuDHD survivor of ABA, I'm wondering...
If ABA is "science" then would fiction about growing up in ABA technically be Science Fiction?

Any other ABA survivors? How do you write creatively?
I keep not being able to. Being able to finish writing something is my best hope at getting away from my abusers and I keep shutting down and everyone tells me I need to feel safe, but I'm not safe.

I'm wondering if being right or left handed but preferring the other hand for some tasks is common amongst autistics?
With me it's guitar; I'm right handed but play as a 'lefty'. #AskingAutistics

One of the current diagnostic criteria for autism is a lack of imagination.
Would you say you lack imagination?
Whatever way you answer, I'd love to hear more detail - if you've time & inclination.
Reposts also appreciated ☺️

1. Why do they try and make us conform to 'normal' standards?
2. Why do they keep introducing more medicines that are even more controlling?
3. Why are they even creating controlling devices for autism?
Can't they just accept it as a difference and thats it? What do you believe?

What if a meltdown wasn't a "bad" thing, but a signal that you're having trouble coping with something? Or that you need something you're not getting?

Did you know, new research is showing, years after recovery from #COVID the stinking virus is proving to actually worsen #Autism symptoms?
I've been reading research that is being conducted, where mostly autistic children and some autistic adults show worst autism after Covid.

#askingautistics Do you have emotional deregulation? Where you cannot control emotions correctly?
I experience this on an intense level. It sucks.
But how about you? Do you have issues processing emotions?

#autism impacts my ability to process moving locations. How about you? #askingautistics
The problem is the magnitude of the task. Puts me in a frozen state. I need structure i need to work one thing at a time. But with such a high mental ask, my mind shorts out and i freeze.
Do you? 🤔

Can you read while there is audible language around you? Talking, shows, music, etc.
As for me, that’s a strong no.

If you are actually autistic, tell me, how much do you love music? How much does #music help you?
1. Music is my natural medicine
2. Music is alright but doesn't always help
3. Music does not help me at all
I was just curious to know! 👍 #autism

#askingautistics if you are #Autistic which is your preference.
1. Being called "autistic"
2. Being called "someone with Autism"
I myself don't have a problem with neither but i have heard that this can bother some people out there.
So i was curious, whats your opinion?

Instead of, “I can’t take the plunge without absolute certainty it will work out,” what if it’s “I must take the plunge?” What if accepting uncertainty is why I must do it, because I need that personal growth?
