Can we please centre #autistic #self-advocates this month instead of parents of autistic children? I don’t want to see parents posting inspiro porn like filming #meltdowns without consent. Plus let’s also hear directly from #autisticadults about their first hand experiences with the support they received both now and growing up on how #allistics can do better.

Love the idea of diagnosing #Allistics for all their crazy behaviors.

This is what stigma around autism sounds like to an autistic person #actuallyautistic #audhd

Does anyone know of #dating or #hookup #apps that either have filters for or cater to #neurodivergent people, perhaps even to #ActuallyAutistic folks? I get overwhelmed having to address certain emotional neediness or opaque mating protocols of #allistics. It’s truly exhausting.

My usual reaction when a guy expects me to just conform to his social expectations is to ghost or block. I just don’t know how to do whatever it is they expect.

🧵2/2 So the plan went as expected. They were caught off guard because I wasn’t reading while they stared. They were equally confused when I had almost zero questions for them. Nah, I’ll take my time and write up a novel once I read the report. Save us all time and email the report BEFOREHAND.

Messing with #allistics and their rando expectations is sometimes real fun. My husband had a smirk the entire time. I’d warned him in advance.

Yea, parents can be #neurodifferent too! 🤣

@yourautisticlife I honestly think we could benefit from apps where we could fillter #allistics. Flagging ourselves as #neurodivergent or #neurodifferent just doesn’t seem to be enough. The folks who aught to self-filter don’t understand they they should or why it’s important. (sigh)

@manzanares Oh my yes! I’ve totally done this. It confuses the fuck out of nearby #allistics when I do it too. LOL They translate it as “you’re not afraid to be wrong,” when really I’m just processing through my own understanding as I’m talking and/or asking about it. It has also been interpreted as mansplaining, and I get that. But it’s not entirely that. I’m selfsplaining, and a cis man, and you just happened to be there. 🤣 #ActuallyAutistic @autism101 @actuallyautistic

Ich will ja nur helfen. Das wird gerne von Menschen gesagt, die ein Bild über #actuallyautistic in der Öffentlichkeit verbreiten, dass von Kontrollverlust, Hilflosigkeit geprägt ist.

Statt darüber zu diskutieren, warum #Allistics alleine über unsere gemeinsame Umwelt bestimmen. Eine Umwelt, die uns zu gleichen Teilen gehört.

Es wird räsoniert, wie "man" uns intergrieren kann - in eine nicht geeignete Welt.

Da müssen wir ansetzen: Wir haben das Recht auf eine Umwelt, in der wir gesund leben.

@KaCi @actuallyautistic

I think we should start with the realisation that the dignostic criteria for #autistic people are made by #Allistics.

Allistic researchers judge autistic behaviour by their own needs.

Would you say it's smart to ask a bird to judge gill breathing by their own pulmonary respiration needs? Would be plain stupid.

So how come that we #actuallyautistic are judged by allistic needs?
