"With greater awareness & much-reduced stigma, older ppl with subtler traits are now diagnosed. […] It’s amazing how many ppl will consider the possibility of having autism when the label no longer implies a lack of humanity." @mosaicofminds.bsky.social: mosaicofmindss.substack.com/p/autism-its...

look much younger than they are.
This starts around age 12.

When you/your autistic person are sick: "Now is a time for rest & relaxation. Put off whatever you can until another day. Those emails will still be there when you’re well. So will school projects & deadlines. Take care of you because you are so so important." autisticallyalex.com/2019/02/19/s...

Euphemisms are not necessary when talking about Disabled people. We can't do some things and generally that's not as bad to deal with as abled people's discomfort with the fact that we can't do some things.

We've all heard "If you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person." However, the more autistic people you meet, the more you learn about autism. Not only how autistic people are different, but how often autistic experiences are shared—even by autistic people who SEEM very unalike.

She stands atop a cliff overlooking a forested land split by a blue river. Giant mechanical deer tower over the trees. It's a blatant ripoff of Horizon Zero Dawn imagery

"Sony sues Tencent for allegedly ripping off 'Horizon' video games" Well alright but surely it can't be that blata— lmao

Especially when you start gaslighting yourself. Shame grows in the silence - when you don’t “look” dysregulated enough to be believed. When you collapse alone, and no one sees the crash. We don’t owe anyone proof. We don’t need to scream for it to "count". Internalized doesn’t mean imaginary.

I am Disabled and rely on $847.40 income from SSI and SSDI—plus help from social safety net programs—to survive. I'm going to transfer a thread about these programs, but: If you can help, please: 1. Go to ugiftable.com. 2. Enter the Ugift code: B1M-J0R 3. Send money from your US bank account.

I don't know how many people know this: If you ever see a story coming out of the USA, about people getting in trouble with the law for feeding the homeless, many of those laws were in direct retaliation to the Black Panthers setting up food banks and community centers for children and the poor.
