Never underestimate autistic enthusiasm

The fuel behind deep dives, expert knowledge, incredible ideas, and uplifting others ❤️

Not to mention, the casual chat that turns into the TED talk you didn’t realise you needed!

Resurfacing after the holiday season and seeing in 2025 on the beach.

Grateful for the time and space to to do this.

Happy #AutismAcceptanceMonth to my fellow autistics/AuDHDers! ❤️

Not your parents, not your siblings, not your medical professionals: You are the experts of yourself!

What's your newest specialist interest, if you have one?

#AutisticJoy on full display! I always love to revisit this article I wrote for @thinkingautism.com back in 2019 when ableist folks were questioning me about Knox’s joyful stims 🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
"Showing Knox’s joy increases the visibility in the lives of Autistic children of color. Moments that show the world that being Autistic isn’t something to be ashamed of, it is beautiful, luminous, & being joyful shouldn’t be masked." @jtknoxroxs.bsky.social:

Autistic Joy as An Act of Resistance
How is joy usually characterized? The absence of sadness? Unbridled gladness  and glee? That is Knox, every. single. day.

Autistic and over 50?

Share an example of your "full blown Autism"...

What's something positive your special interest has brought to your life?

For me it was becoming a VShroom. 🤭

Sorry for all the Homer-posting. I studied Greek in college, specifically Homer, Hesiod & other archaic poetry. It’s no longer my main thing, but it is one of my things, & if someone brings it up, it gets me going! #AutisticJoy #Classics

We deserve to believe nice things about ourselves and pursue joy, perhaps even more so when we're struggling! #autisticjoy matters

#NDGlossary: #AutisticJoy - The intense happiness #Autistic people feel when engaging in special interests, stimming, or connecting with other autistic people. A powerful counter-narrative to deficit-focused perspectives. #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity

You are so much more than the myths other people belief about you.

Do you have a special interest that has changed over time? Has it grown?
