ellie middleton @elliemidds the cruel irony of being autistic is that we need to ask WHY because no-one gives us enough context or clarity, but when we do ask WHY we're accused of being difficult of questioning authority

Deep purple and pink background with white text: FAQ #5 What are your long-term housing goals? • Friends are buying land where I can place a manufactured home & live out my days with their help on site (with plans for space for other disabled, housing insecure people!) • Their GoFundMe for me started in 2024 & is only at 31% - I still can't get even a used mobile home with it.

My being un-dxed #ActuallyAutistic & growing up poor both contributed to my not earning NC driver's license until age 23 in 2001.
Bob Mathis surprisingly was a better driving instructor than Dad (Mom noped out bc anxiety after I nearly drove her 🚗 into ditch in Fayetteville).

@Autistic_Callum_ Someone: "If you didn't understand, you couldn't asked me to explain it instead of trying to guess." Autistic me: *thought I understood, as I felt NO confusion about what they said. I now see that I processed it differently than they intended, but I couldn't have known that before*

any fellow autistic folks have a major mood crash in the evening? is it a crash out from masking, is it the fall out of a day of sensory overload?? like almost every night my mood tanks even though I’m very happy with my life #actuallyautistic #autistic #neurodivergent #audhd

One of the things I figured out on my own self-discovery journey: not doing things that don't need to be done is one of the best uses of my time.
That sounds obvious. It wasn't obvious to me for a long time. 1/2

Chris is closer to my height & a bit pudgier than Mark; a history geek w/ bachelor's & masters degrees who later earned Master of Library Science degree (after escaping from my relationship from hell #ActuallyAutistic clutches; dumping me w/ 2 weeks' notice before early July '08 wedding). 🤣

#Authenticity that’s right!
That’s a far better frame for the #authenic, #autistic way of thinking and being.
Forget about the TOM-frame!
Read K.J. Elphinstones thread. 🧵

Are these deficits?
I can certainly see why current human society would frame them as such!
But I have another word for possessing & practicing less 'theory of mind';
Authenticity.

"Theory of mind" has been used, in autism research, to support the idea of a deficit of empathy in autistic people.
The theory, I think, isn't all it's cracked up to be.
A short 🧵

A digital meme consisting of a humorous image with bold text at the top. The text reads, in all-caps, black sans-serif font: AUTISTIC PEOPLE TRYING TO FIT IN WITH NEUROTYPICALS. Below the text is a photograph of a professional office meeting. Around a large, dark conference table sit four men dressed in casual business attire, all looking at their laptops lol or toward the center of the table with serious, focused expressions. Seated prominently at the head of the table is Big Bird, the giant, bright yellow feathered character from Sesame Street. Big Bird is sitting upright, staring straight ahead with a blank, slightly awkward expression. Despite being a 8-foot-tall yellow bird, he is positioned as if he is a regular participant in the meeting, creating a stark and comedic contrast with the mundane office environment and the "normal" people surrounding him.
@autistics #ActuallyAutistic also applies to video meetings
