Some positivity to start the year:
What's the best thing about being #ActuallyAutistic? What #Autism has given you? What makes you grateful for being #Autistic? Is it a trait, talent or ability, a special pleasure accessible thanks to autism, or something else?
Please note that toxic posters will be instant-blocked. If you don't have anything good to say about your autism, feel free to say nothing. This is an #AutismPride thread!
@ReimanSaara Embracing my autistic-ness taught me how to fully accept myself.
I thought every part of me was bad because everyone was constantly upset with me and I didn’t know why. The more I learned about autism, the more I realized I’m a normal autistic person.
And there was an entire community full of #Autistic people who all relate to each other. I felt alone my whole life. But there were others out there like me and that was very comforting.
Helped me embrace who I am.
@ashleyspencer @ReimanSaara Embracing my autism has been very liberating.
I no longer think I'm a freak... I dealt with a lot of anger towards those who ignored and dismissed the signs for decades and accepted who I am... I finally UNDERSTAND who I am and why I am this way.
I'm unapologetic for my 'quirks' and the way I process things and I refuse to beg for scraps of attention and basic human decency and compassion from others.
Accept me for who I am, or get the fuck out of my life.
