@portablejim @jwcph And I have to ask you. Have you ever tried being yourself? Just be the #autistc you?
Time Has No Meaning… Neither Does Life

Time slips by and means Nothing. Days, Weeks, Months and Years just… vanish… into a dim mist of vague dreamlike memories of barely-there Things-That-Happened…I exist barely in any…

Tonight, I got to get prepared for my birthday stream tomorrow. Gotta think up some cool ideas & silly things to do for my birthday. :3 #streamer #twitch #birthday #autistc

Today, April 2nd, is also “World Autism Day”. But here in the #Philippines, the entire month of April is “World Autism Acceptance Month”.

This is a very good read. I'm autistic myself, and trust me, #suicide is just around the corner… always.

“Autistic people are six times more likely to attempt suicide – poor mental health support may be to blame”

“Yet one at-risk group that is still largely overlooked when it comes to this crisis is autistic people. Research shows that autistic people are six times more likely to attempt death by suicide – and up to seven times more likely to die by suicide – compared to those who are not autistic.”

“This risk of death by suicide is even greater among autistic people without intellectual disabilities. The greatest risk is among autistic women, who are 13 times more likely to die by suicide than women who are not autistic.”

Autistic people are six times more likely to attempt suicide – poor mental health support may be to blame

Many autistic people struggle to get mental health support, or are missed by the healthcare system entirely.

@jnm @actuallyautistic thank you for sharing this, I have a five-year old nonverbal #Autistc son who I want to be happy. I love him for who he is, and hope society will come to share in the joy he finds in life too.
