Every dollar donated helps our battalion, hundreds of people, with winter preparations.

day of thank you’s to all who support us.

This time it’s to @dylanc78 and all the donors who support our battalion through him.

We tested some ponchos and made our final choice for future purchases. (More are already on the way).

Our chevrons are earned by our soldiers when they return from position.

In some rare cases they have been handed to volunteers from the battalion commander but only he can decide to give them out.

Help save our lives and earn a chance to win a Chevron from @93Alcatraz

Allowing me to navigate war, hyper focus on my work and studies and compartmentalize emotions that others might not be able to navigate in a healthy way.

So if you see me out here being a little weird, I might just be but I am very proud of who I am and how far I have come.

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

And in Ukraine, damn I have met a lot of us. 😅

People just like me, on different parts of the spectrum, all understanding that we are needed here and now in #Ukraine.

For me, Autism feels like my super power.

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

I am passionate about what I do and where I am.

Being Autistic only held me back in life when I didn’t understand who I was or have a supportive environment around me…which quite honestly I made for myself.

1 11

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

This allows me to spend an incredible amount of time alone when I’m working and never really needing oversight to make sure I’m doing my job.

I think it has also allowed me to do a lot of what I do because I have a different connection with death. And mostly that fear doesn’t cross my mind.

1 11

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

I don’t form connections the same way and I know for those without Autism it’s not easy to understand but being Autistic, peoples opinions never really meant much to me anyways….unless it effects the things I’m trying to do, like help my men.

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

I’m still weirdo with food but now I don’t really care that people see me eat the same noodles or drink the same drink for 6 months straight. 😅

My hyper focus is my job which saves lives and Autism has given me the ability to keep going at full speed for 3 years straight.

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

I still have weird stims like the need to clap during exciting parts of the movie or leaving the room and walking around when it gets too stressful but the longer I liv e with my diagnoses the less the environment around me has an influence on my outward behaviour.

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

Before I didn’t have answers and now I could start to recognize my triggers and the things that were holding me back.

Like the mathematical equations I love so much I could start to subtract the things from my life that would trigger my meltdowns.

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

Growing up in a low income and abusive household didn’t give much opportunity for understanding of these behaviours either.

My diagnoses came after one too many emotional outbursts that I felt was effecting my life and I sought professional guidance.

That diagnoses saved me.

1 12

Defacto Humanity @defactohumanity.bsky.social · 23d

Being a woman my diagnoses took much longer and it wasn’t until I was 32 that I had some answers as to why I am the way I am.

As a child I was always the weird one. I couldn’t make eye contact, sitting and listening was hard, socializing was hard and I was over stimulated easily.

In light of recent events I feel like some people and parents need this post.

My name is April, Callsign Бабця (Granny).

I am a 37 year old Canadian 🇨🇦 medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and I am Autistic.
