On the birdsite, I saw several accusing tweets conflating "Nazi" and "autist"! 🤬 I really wish they wouldn't. 😢
Don't they think we have enough to worry about, being universally rejected, that we can stand also being considered to be Nazis?!!

I have #autism (formal dx) and #ADHD (self dx). But I can't seem to separate the two. What are the differences between them? Or do they just blur into one another? Can anyone help?

As I come to understand my #autism better (I was only diagnosed 7 years ago, aged 63), I realise I have lived a hopelessly innocent and naive life.
I have always tried to live my actual real life trying to be decent (etc). I thought everyone did the same. What a fool I have been. 😢

Do you know when you are tired, hungry, thirsty?
Do you know when your heart is racing ?

This looks like an alternative to DSM-5. published by the #WHO. The bit on #autism starts on page 124.

@KatyElphinstone Autistic children learn very quickly to be or become "hyper-independent". Rejected by the outside (NT) world, they create their own internal worlds, and live there.
Don't we all do that? I did. I didn't want to, but I could see no other choices or options. What I really wanted was to be a member of the group or gang, as all humans do... 😢
