I failed the #LDS #mormon #Church. I ran away as a teenager because I was afraid of serving a #mission. I was told that if I didn't serve a mission I wouldn't be able to hold leadership positions and no woman would ever want me. It was too much pressure for #autistic me. Then I had my records removed because the #missionaries kept finding me everywhere I moved and I couldn't handle the shame. I wonder how my life would have been if I had been what #God expected me to be. #christ #christianity
PSA: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is toxic AF for #autistic folks.
there is not that much people here but I love we all are #autistic #furry #tech #nerds just like in the beginning of twitter. Maybe internet 2.5 was a mistake.

2024 elin aika synkissä mietteissä turhautuneena autistisessa yksinäisyydessäni, vanhuudessani köyhänä eläkeläisenä, autottomana..

Enkä aina jaksa neuloa sukkia, en ommella, en tehdä rättikässyjä, niin aloin toteuttaa unelmaani miniatyyrimaailmoistani..

Aloitin raadollisesti paskahuussista. Kärpäset puuttuu, hajut ja kyykäärme pihapolulta.. Söpöhän se on.. ❤️

Get out of autistic burnout by investing in yourself #autistic #autis...

I’ve been having this weird experience lately of alternating quickly between feeling overwhelmed by all the things that I want to do and the plans that I have, and like I’ve got things handled and my plans are good and I can deal with all the stuff. 1/2

When autistics say, "It's exhausting working so hard to fit in all the time," we don't mean we want encouragement to work harder at it. We want y'all to stop demanding we fit into a world that doesn't fit us.

The government assistance programs are there for when you need help. When you can't do it on your own. When you don't have someone else to do it for you.

It's okay to use them. There's no shame in that. That's what they're for.

The Double Empathy problem has been officially verified as existing via live brain scans.

I've reached out to the authors for a copy. Will holler if / when I get it.

but the short version is #autistic folks vibe with each other via their frontal cortex and allistic folks with their right temporoparietal junction (social thinking area)
