#AutisticLife
Good morning. Hope your coffee is strong, your plans don't unexpectedly change, and your brain manages to pick one of its 47 open tabs to focus on. That's enough ambition for a Tuesday.

When you love a fanfic so much that you just want to re-read it over and over on repeat. #autisticlife

Yes, autism comes with some limitations I have to accept. Like not being able to get into deep, meaningful conversations with allistic people who face limitations of their own, like not being able to get into deep, meaningful conversations.

Being autistic means not knowing you have to pee until you stand up and suddenly have a very urgent situation. #AutisticLife

Autism is seeing patterns that others don’t, telling people, having them tell you you’re imagining the patterns, then when the inevitable result of that pattern happens they declare “if only someone could have predicted this” while you stand there seething. #AutisticLife

Exactly and it’s utterly tiresome to continually have to repeat

#VaccinesDoNOTCauseAutism

#AutisticCommunity
#AutisticLife
Researchers who study vaccines and autism find that rates of “autism in the group of vaccinated children was the same as that in unvaccinated children.” There is NO link, despite testimonials and fear-based pseudoscience. #VaccinesWork & have nothing to do with autism.

Vaccines and Autism
Two studies have been cited by those claiming that the MMR vaccine causes autism. Both studies are critically flawed.

👋 😐 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.

#AuDHD #AutisticLife #AutRes
#NewArticle Here I consider how “autism epidemic” scare is being used to push certain agendas and launch a national autism registry. As an #Autistic social scientist, I reflect on a rhetorical pattern that I observe and how it exposes this manipulation. #AutRes

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.

Trying to mask at holiday events feels like performing in a Broadway show I didn’t audition for… and somehow I’m also the stage manager. 🎭🫠 Also, I'm late diagnosed so I've had a lifetime of practice to get this right. You will never forget this show. 🙃

Living with chronic illness and being autistic is hard work. My chronic illness needs someone to come round to help me with stuff, but my autism won't let me open the front door. 🙄

So proud of my partner. He has invented a second innovative risotto:
Poached Salmon and pink grapefruit risotto. It sounds odd but was superb! #autisticlife!

Autism is having the same convo over and over about why The Telepathy Tapes isn’t the great, exciting thing that allistics think it is. #AutisticLife

The perception of energy is one of our natural autistic senses.

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

Late diagnosed autism is figuring out that part (but def not all) of your anxiety is actually repressed stimming. The later you’re diagnosed, the harder it is to let yourself stim when anyone else is around even though you know how much better you feel when you do. #AutisticLife #AnxiousAutistic

Is there a community of fellow autistic artists on Blue Sky? I'd love to join!

I see patterns nobody else can see, so I hope you could 💙
