The thing about Autism Awareness is what they need to be aware of is that they are not aware, and they can’t be.
.
I think that’s what’s so wrong about it, about Autism Awareness month, is that it’s an Allistic slogan, it’s blind to neurotype, it pretends all you have to do is tell anybody a thing, and anybody can get it. Because We are All the Same, and Education is all that’s required, right?
.
Were Autistics consulted, of core snot?
.
I would like to dedicate next . . . April, is it? Whichever, I would like to dedicate it to making them aware that they do NOT understand it, that they CANNOT be “made aware,” and that’s why nothing about us without us.
.
There is no Autism Awareness without actual Autism. They need to delegate this, they cannot do anything regarding neurodivergence themselves, the idea is simply not supported by their type. I wish they would prove me wrong. 😳💜

I’m so tired of this game with NT women. They act like they care and they understand and they’re all sympathetic about your low self image, like ignoring your real challenges and making it your own fault for “holding yourself back,” like that’s so nice, like they got so much emotional intelligence for telling you that you haven’t got any problems but yourself.

And there’s always some complication, this one has their own challenges, it seems so unfair to argue, to force them to be the only one of their sort that has to understand neurodiversity.
.
Frustrating.

That’s more NT psychology, B.
.
Autistics, especially aspie pricks like me don’t “put ourselves down,” we are realistic about our challenges.
.
When I tell you about my challenges around music, that’s not my bad attitude holding me back - that’s more We are All
the Same nonsense that NT people are so sure of - as if everyone is a musician! - that’s me boasting to you about what I can do despite my challenges.
.
When I tell you I’m playing a slide song but I can’t play slide, that’s me bragging about how I’ve figured a way to do it despite my challenges - FFS, can’t you see my hands and haven’t I told you the left one is asleep most of rhe time? It’s a real disability, not some bad attitude so you can make it my own fault and easily solved.
.
Bah, never mind. You know better, of course.
.
Frustrating. 😠

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic has this happened to you…

Finally getting back into the writing I do for income (B2B marketing copy, mostly) thanks to a new agency contract, and I'm finding that after as long as I've been mostly focused on my late-hatched auDHD self, my brain is...asthmatic, at best.

Like, most of the hinges are seized up, the belts are rotted away, I know there are missing teeth on some cogs, and there's a fine patina of rust covering every synapse.

This will pass, right?

I mean, I've been doing this work for nearly a decade before this current, um, pause, so it's not like I'm building new muscles, right?

That was a lot of mixed metaphors and strangled idioms, I know. Just proves my point.

Growing up, I often felt like I didn't fit. Like I was doing things wrong. So I was constantly on edge around other people.

I would give someone a compliment and they'd take it as rude. I'd try to help out and they'd be offended. I'd make a joke and everyone would stare at me in open-mouthed shock. 1/4

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 955 , Tuesday 09/06/2026

Flippin next door, what kind of anti social maniac runs the vacuum cleaner around at 06:30 in the morning!

That was the highpoint of the day.

The weather has been truly ‘orrible - temps around 13ºC aka flippin cold!
It’s rained cats, dogs & small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri today!

Spent most of the day hiding away in virtual worlds, I’m struggling to get to grips with everyday life ATM.

Had some salmon type fishcakes with a mixed, chopped salad for tea.

Final Thoughts.

Will someone please explain the concept of ‘summer’ to the Weather Witches!

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic full disclosure, i’m about a month ahead on scheduling this stuff, so this being the perfect choice for today was purely a happy accident
