autistic people are not "living with autism". it doesn't pay rent. separate autism from the Autistic person and you are left with a different person.

A new series of condensed versions of my infographics. I hope people will find useful. This is one is about Autistic Experience - what it is, what it's not & what it "looks like".

#autism #autistic #neurodivergent #ActuallyAutistic #neurodiverse #neurodiversity #AutisticExperience #AutisticJoy

What is Autistic Experience? To be Autistic is to experience communication, the sensory world, thinking and social interactions differently from non-Autistic people. An Autistic person is innately neurodivergent.

What is it not? An Autistic person is NOT disordered or ill (we need no cure!). Everyone is NOT 'a little bit Autistic'. Autistic experiences are NOT made up for attention. Autistic people and their experiences are NOT all the same.

There is no singular look or presentation of an Autistic person - each is different!

How do you process layered sounds and rhythms in music? Do you tend to isolate them or experience them as a whole?

Nina Danon @ninadanon.bsky.social · May 5

Interesting you mentioned layers! Repetitive listening to catch all the details of a piece of music is one of my favourite kinds of auditory stims too. Intricate rhythms and layers definitely make that more fascinating!

Asking my fellow #Autistic / #AuDHD / #ADHD: what kind of music do you find particularly stim-friendly / stim-inspiring? And what is it about that music that makes it that way?
