I’m not saying people don’t have the right to choose when they die - but please understand how awful it is to go to a hospital for care - have a treatable condition - and be asked “would you like to die instead?”
It sends a clear message that we’re disposable. Dollar signs on a spreadsheet /5

Congratulations, your computer has updated. Here are all the new features you never wanted and will never use, but don't worry, we've also changed your default setting to apps you don't want to use as well. Enjoy your tech descent into user unfriendly chaos.

The autistic tendency to stay up late because:
- nighttime is when the world finally slows down (quieter, fewer demands, less sensory input)
- you’ve been randomly hyperfocusing
- “do not perceive me”
- SPECIAL INTERESTS! ❤️
- transitioning to bedtime can be hard
- your circadian rhythm is chaos 🫠

Just bumped into someone who told me they'd been looking at my website. My first reaction was, 'I still have a website?'

✅ What autism is:
- a processing difference
- a unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world
- a disability (for many, but not all)
❌ What autism is not:
- a mental illness
- a disease
- an excuse
Understanding autism means recognizing neurodiversity - not pathologising it ❤️

I've been reflecting a lot lately on how many people told me when I was growing up that if I didn't respect myself, other people wouldn't. On the surface it sounds good advice, but I now know those people would never have respected undx Autistic me, and changing myself for their approval would fail

Almost everyone I spoke to over the last two weeks has independently commented on how glitchy/bad different tech products are becoming. We've really entered the age of enshitificiation. At least it's making people put their devices down and do something else.

Public autistic meltdowns are brutal. They feel sudden, but they’re usually the result of days or weeks of stress building up. By the time it happens, you’re already running on fumes, tired, overloaded, and stretched too far. It only takes one tiny trigger for everything to spill over. 1/3

After having put away my drawing things many years ago, I’ve slowly come to understand how much I still enjoy it. These multicoloured pastels aren’t super-easy to use, but the effect is so pretty to my neurodivergent brain…

I seem to have wandered into a world where I'm constantly having to make official phone calls, I'm always too busy and short of sleep, and my tea keeps getting cold before I drink it. Did I miss dying and going to some kind of purgatory place?

I'm turning off all my 'alerts' as a) I have too many, and b) if someone @s you and you have an alert set for them, it doesn't give you a separate notification, so if you use alerts as a list to browse, rather than diligently checking each post, you can miss stuff. I missed stuff. Sorry.
