The Neuro DuoI’m J and I was diagnosed with Autism & ADHD at 45. My partner and I created The Neuro Duo to speak honestly about what it’s like to be late diagnosed and navigating life through a new lens. If you’re neurodivergent, or tho k you might be, we hope this gives you something real to relate to #TheNeuroDuo #AuDHD #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergentvoices #adhdinadults #autism #autismawareness #ADHD #actuallyautistic #neurodivergentjourney #neurospicy #ADHDcouple #unmaskingautism #neurodivergent
AcratopègeUne traduction française du livre #UnmaskingAutism de #DevonPrice est en cours dans le cadre d'un projet collectif communautaire (et, il me semble, bien avancé).

"What are the areas that make me, me? Who am I?"

I'm currently reading "Unmasking Autism" by Dr Devon Price. Quote of the day:
> Bobbi, an Autistic nonbinary person in their mid-thirties, says, "I wasn't raised or 'socialized' as an Autistic girl. I was raised as a weird kid, and a gender failure."
Fucking mood, Bobbi, mood. 
Seb ∞@actuallyautistic Devon Price has just announced the follow-up to Unmasking Autism.
Unmasking For Life is due to come out March 2025!

Tuomo HI love Unmasking Autism by Devon Price. I've now read almost the first half and there's this constant flow of "that's me!", "oh!" and "wtf?!" from my part.
Part about learning certain characteristics being unwanted and masking by overcompensating for them was especially revealing. Things that really resonated:
"Pretending I didn't know the answers to questions" and "Keeping silent when people said things that weren't true" in order not to appear arrogant.
"Solving problems by myself" and "Not getting 'too excited' about anything, including good things" in order not to appear annoying and loud.
"Nodding or laughing, even when I have no idea what's going on" in order not to appear clueless and pathetic.
"Not voicing my needs" in order not to appear sensitive.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it... It's not that I recognize ever being certain things but I recognize overcompensating.
ImmedicableMEMy new therapist is also autistic and they asked me to envision who I could be if if I shed 50+ years of masking and let myself be fully, authentically me. It’s so exciting…I simultaneously grin and tear up when I think about it. I think I’ve been waiting for permission without realizing it. I can’t wait to see who emerges from this. #AutisticJoy #Unmasking #AutisticUnmasking #UnmaskingAutism #ActuallyAutistic @actuallyautistic
Random WeirdoHier nun endlich meine sehr sehr lange und ausführliche Buchvorstellung zu Dr Devon Price's "Unmasking Autism". Ich habe lange daran gesessen, weil mir das Buch viel gebracht hat. Wer es nicht gelesen hat (oder nicht auf Englisch lesen will), kriegt hier einen Überblick.

@actuallyautistic Time to dive-in and read #devonprice's #unmaskingautism for a second time. For me it was a paradigm shift that helped me realize that I am #actuallyautistic.
