Capitalism thrives on extracting as much as possible from everyone while minimizing care, and autistic humans often bear the brunt of this.

Autism is framed as a disorder and brain disease to be "cured" under capitalism because we’re evaluated by how “useful” we are.

We internalize the push to “perform,” exhausting ourselves just to fit, while the system refuses to meet our needs.

We don’t need to work harder - the system must change.

Rest, unmasking, and connection with others like you are forms of resistance.

The time traveler laughed. "Why would anyone listen to me?"

"You're from our future-"

"No, I'm from a different timeline, a different future. I'm a refugee."

"To here? Now?"

"It looks fucked right now, but this is the timeline that pulls through."
