Semi-Verbal Autistic 🌈

Autism is my painful special interest, I'm a L2 semi-verbal autistic 90s baby with a "Greta Thunberg complex" regarding the autism industry. ♿🩼♾️ She/Her. UK. ⚠️ I can't read DMs.

It's not difficult to recognise autism in girls. You just need to pay attention!
Decades of suffering could be prevented if allistics stopped ignoring female autism.

Emblematic of this, is how pop culture "understands" "geniuses" like Einstein.
An article will go, "we solved the mystery of Einstein's genius!" and the answer is just ... "he contemplated his subject a lot".
😐 So allistics don't contemplate?
Allistics have invented the back-handed self-insult!

Allistics give me the impression that they are rote learners that never think much about anything.
For example, how can you commit your life to psychology but never actually develop an *understanding* of the subject?

Allistic supremacy is a passively genocidal ideology.

Unfortunately when I unmask my trauma, I just get gaslit as hysterical or even framed as the perpetrator.
I cannot win. People simply do not believe victims. Charming allistics always win over an autistic person.

The genocide of Autistic people started 86 years ago but it never actually ended, it just transformed into a passive, quiet genocide via the autism industry, filicide and female autism erasure.

Allistics are rude.
Allistic supremacy is bad behaviour.
Allistics are egotistic, controlling bullies if they persecute Autistic solitude.

Is it rude for Autistics to spend holidays in their room? Or opts out, instead of being with the family? Is it promoting bad behavior? Is it showing acceptance and accommodation? And how do you explain it to family members? Here are my thoughts on these ideas.

I just had a second meltdown because my Autistic mother woke me up, ruined my sleep schedule and ignored my disability needs.
We spent 30 minutes having a shouting match in the hallway where I cried and begged her for empathy, to listen to me about my NHS abuse, but she doesn't listen.

I started drinking alcohol to cope with the NHS abuse. I'd never touched alcohol in my life -- until the NHS ruined my autism diagnosis.
I don't understand why I'm the unluckiest Autistic on Earth. Why am I trapped under systemic oppression and incompetence while other people get experts?

Just had a horrible meltdown because of NHS flashbacks. The abusive clinician haunts me every hour of every day.
I am the loneliest Autistic on Earth. Nobody has suffered what I have.

This resonated deeply with me and my 2020 participatory research into why a growing number of autistic girls start - and then stop - attending mainstream secondary schools. Quotes from the conclusions of this research are shared by Jo and Natalie in the graphic below.

Those aren’t the children who are school refusing, are they?
Loads of children - especially ND children - find school traumatic. And gov and LA policies which insist school is the best place for all children are not helpful.

As an ND kid, school gave me trauma that scars me to this day. From what I see of my niblings' experiences, the system is now 100 times worse. Maybe start by ensuring that the school system doesn't systemically torture ND kids, and work from there.

When will we see data that shows the negative health consequences of this mentality?
Ableism is a public health crisis that has lifelong consequences. At 29 I am still damaged from the education system's persecution of my autism. Disabled families are driven to suicide by attendance ideology.

Together we’re turning the tide on the absence crisis among our kids.
Five million more days in school is the biggest improvement in a decade.
I want to thank not just the parents but the school leaders, teachers & support staff who’ve made this happen.

To be Autistic is to survive a lifetime of relentless hate crimes. Eventually I learned to isolate myself in order to keep my life safe and undisturbed.
