This #BehindTheScenes is about neurodivergency. It's a neurological, not behavior, problem, and masking it was abusive. 💥 You can find out more here: shorturl.at/4FrM0

This week someone reviewed my work "development plan" and their feedback boiled down to "this would be better if you added the same stuff normal people do."
Hey ho. Chalk another one up to the "neurotypical people don't mean it when they say be your authentic self.

Many autistic teens get labeled “difficult” the moment they stop pretending.
But unmasking is a sign of trust — not misbehavior.

Love blender - I can’t use it but my youngest uses it and I love watching them make something or show me the end result … they got a 3d printer from my eldest - the are now in complete flow creating things and it’s beautiful…

#NewArticle Have you ever asked someone a question and they assumed you were, well, doing something else? Rachael the Beloved wrote this up in order to share HER experience, and a very specific learning she did at some point.

Selfie of me (Erika) appearing content, sitting in a living room. Behind me, Rachael the Beloved stands with a crutch decorating our always-up-not-always-decorated Christmas tree
Rachael the Beloved and Morgan the Dog decorate our Christmas tree. The tree is next to a fireplace in a comfy, informal living room.
Morgan the Dog sits next to our decorated Christmas tree, similar to how 70s kids were posed next to the same.
Morgan the Dog, a good boy when he feels like it, poses for pics in front of the Christmas tree.
Feeling grateful for my family. I can't hold my phone long enough to type out why, but I'm a very fortunate person.
Last night we decorated our always-up-not-always-decorated Christmas tree 🎄😁💕

#NewArticle LOTS of disinformation in the coming days and beyond. Everything is already so hard. For autistic people, disinformation can be especially stressful.

Turns out… there aren’t any.

👋 😐 Autistic social scientist here, sharing my writeup that gets into the weeds a bit on some of the rhetoric that puts #autistic lives at risk. It's long, lots of subheadings. Scroll THOSE to get to topics of interest.
Be safe, friends. You're not alone in this mess.

»Schule ist ein besonders wegweisender Lebensbereich, und für Kinder oft der erste Schritt in den Ernst des Lebens. Leider ist für nicht wenige autistische Menschen der Schulbesuch eine Qual. Unter günstigen Bedingungen kann Schule aber auch als bereichernd erlebt werden und zur langfristigen positiven Persönlichkeitsentwicklung beitra-gen« (Schuster 2011). Die Teilhabe von autistischen Kindern und Jugendlichen an Erziehung und Bildung ist abhängig von der aktiven Kooperation aller Beteiligten. Autis-mus-Therapiezentren leisten hierzu durch die Zusammenarbeit und den Austausch mit Schulen sowie deren Beratung einen wertvollen Beitrag.
Für mich fing mit der Schule der Horror an und begleitete mich bis zur Diagnose, ich suchte immer den Fehler bei mir.

Sometimes I look relaxed, or even indifferent, but inside my neurospicy noggin…

Rachael (right) and Erika posing with a llama who is lying in the shade. Both people are wearing N95 masks and leaning in together.
Collage of two similar photos of a pair of prairie dogs upright eating blades of grass.
Rachael is feeding two very attentive goats from her hands.
A dark haired goat is showing his joy at receiving food by flashing a big smile.
😍 We went to the zoo and I walked the most steps that I've walked in a year (confirmed truth).
Watching the prairie dogs is my favorite and feeding the goats is Rachael's. We both love the llamas 🤗 #Accessibility details in comments

: I'm 55 in September, and nothing has changed to any noticeable degree since I was a kid despite everything folks have said about how much progress they want to believe has been made.

When you’re autistic and wait for everyone to leave so you can avoid the small talk in the elevator 😅🧠✨

rare day that the bus is late, but instead of going to get cookies (coffee shop opens at 6:45) i was reading about surge arresters 😭 #autisticlife
Yesterday I was sitting on my bed, writing my book, and I had a sparkling beverage on my nightstand. I kept hearing the bubbles. It made me drink it faster because of the noise. I forgot about my earplugs with all the noise of the bubbles. #AutisticLife
Why would you trouble yourself without going anywhere else #autisticlife
Also, the discussion is not over until it is dead, dissected, and pinned out on a card with all the parts neatly labelled.
Do not expect us to stop until it’s done.

My autism’s got me scripting life like it’s Python, but I keep hitting syntax errors when small talk pops up! Small talk must be in Perl.😅 Anyone else debug their social skills daily? #AutisticLife
A tweet by Callum Stephen (@AutisticCallum_) that reads: “Many autistic people proofread and edit a text/email/message 5–10 times before sending it, to make sure they don’t send anything that might be misread as: rude, cold, condescending, critical, angry, ill-informed and/or sarcastic. If we ever take long to reply, this might be why.”
I rewrite messages a lot not to be dramatic but to avoid being misunderstood. If I reply slow, it’s because I care enough to get it right.
