Negli anni 60 bastava non sorridere nel momento giusto per finire in un manuale di psichiatria.
Erano i famosi nove punti per riconoscere l’autismo.
Li ho riletti, uno per uno — e li ho smontati con un po’ di sarcasmo e una buona dose di neuroironia.

Perché il problema non è l’autismo.
È come viene percepito, raccontato e tradotto da chi non lo vive.

In the 60s, it was enough not to smile at the right moment to end up in a psychiatry manual.
Those were the famous nine points to recognize autism.
I reread them, one by one — and took them apart with some sarcasm and a generous dose of neuroirony.

Because the problem isn’t autism.
It’s how it’s perceived, narrated, and translated by those who don’t live it.

"Did you swipe your card?"

"Yes, I did."

"Oh, yes. Your order is being processed."

"Alright... Hey, er, what is it with your nose wiggle???"

"Oh, that? Your odor is being processed too."

"Done. You smell like Roquefort."

Me: Need to write this. Want to write this.

My incredibly poor executive function: How do we sit down and write again?

Me: Almost the same way we sit down, open the laptop, and go down an info-hole about our great-great-great-grandparents.

My incredibly poor executive function: You sure about that, bro?

A bit of self-promotion I guess, but after missing blogging, I started a #substack I intend to post to once a week. It will be primarily about my art, writing, and journey to learning to live a more authentic life as an #autistic #chronicallyill person.

Here is the link. It's free.

If you have a substack, share it with me, and I will check yours out. 🙂

My Creative Life by Jenna M Pink

On Living An Intentional, Creative Life - thoughts on my artistic practice, my writing, and my journey to find self-acceptance as a neurodivergent, chronically ill person in a busy world. Click to read My Creative Life by Jenna M Pink, a Substack publication. Launched 11 hours ago.

Writing is one of my all time favorite hobbies, but there’s simply no way I could do it for a living because I wouldn’t be able to get projects done on time.

There’s real difficulty for me as a mostly-visual thinker and with complex language and communication disorders. But when I am able to get a decent word down, it’s so cathartic.

The difficult thing about my writing hobby is that the subject matter I choose tends to include some difficult memories that I have to dig up just to support my points. Although I welcome that challenge, it's... wow. It's something else. I'm giggling ironically at the mere intensity of it all.

Writing always has its high and lows, strikes and gutters, with many rejections for every acceptance, and 2022 had all of the above! Thanks to all the editors at Catapult, Electric Literature, Literaryhub, Púca, Phoebe Literary Journal, Crow & Cross Keys, Oranges Journal and Stone of Madness Press for providing a home for my sometimes strange & unusual words 💜
