Sitting on the Métro.
The person sitting across from me sees my autism and disability pins on my bag.
They look at me, sigh, roll their eyes and look the person they’re traveling with, “another one, looks fine to me.”
This is the kind of aggression we encounter on a daily basis.

Alexithymia isn’t lack of emotion.
It’s emotion without translation.
The feelings are there.
The map isn’t.
And yet autistic people blame themselves for being “numb.”
You’re not numb - you’re flooded.
Your body is speaking a language you were never taught.

The work of my colleagues and I @bestfirstchair.bsky.social @autisticjoy.bsky.social @autisticpresence.bsky.social ) isn’t about “fixing” my fellow autistic humans.
It’s about helping them stop living in a world that keeps breaking us.
It helps lead to self-liberation.

Trauma doesn’t only injure the person who experiences it directly.
It injures everyone who has to build a life around the person who survived.
It profoundly affects the support people around the traumitised person if not taken with care.

i spend a lot of time and energy explaining to my fellow jews that the overwhelming majority of my comrades on the political left are not antisemitic.
so when i experience antisemitism, firsthand no less, by people on the left it's especially stinging.
it's painful beyond words.

The push against ableism isn’t just about individual rights.
It’s about dismantling broader systems of oppression that marginalize neurodistinct individuals daily

The fact that me and other marginalised folx need to do the work we do is a TRAGEDY.
Not a tragedy that we exist or that we do the work.
But THE FACT that we HAVE to do this.
Because it means that our community isn’t doing the necessary work.
It means gatekeeping and violence exist.
