In two days, Autistic Women's Alliance Virtual Coffee Chat is back!!! We're going to celebrate #AutisticPride by talking about #AutisticIdentity as our topic.
Who's included? Women and historically underrepresented genders are welcomed and supported. See repost for more information. #AutisticWomensAlliance #ActuallyAutistic

@maxi @actuallyautistic It's been nearly 10 years since my adult diagnosis, and I am still talking about Autism! 🥳

For many, IMO, it remains a special interest. Which isn't surprising as it's the lens through which we experience life.

Yes, it does form an intrinsic part of my identity.

#AutisticIdentity

@TheMacMommy @Pathfinder My entire family is #ActuallyAutistic it is really common for #Autism to run in families; it is genetic.

And please don't feel like you're 'taking support' from other Autistics. Realising your #AutisticIdentity is one of the most important things you'll ever do. It explains so much and will help you understand yourself.

#SelfDiagnosis is valid!

@rekindled @Prof_Meowmers I have seen so many of these #CongratsOnTheAutism cakes and I STILL haven't had one for myself (or my family)!

I love them! 💗

And if you get one and you'd like to share it, please send it to me! I post them to my Instagram acc @autisticbookclub so everyone can see them!

@allenstenhaus @autismsupsoc That’s what people tend to not understand! There is a rigorous process of research and self-examination before self-identifying or seeking an ‘official’ Autistic diagnosis!
My teenagers know more about Autism than any psych we’ve met!
