If you've managed to survive all these years in hurtful systems, what does that mean about how strong you are?
If you're that strong, what else could you use your strength for? Could you make more radical changes?
a couple of mutuals have asked what's up with me.
well, i am going through some changes. in my audhd way, i won't know for awhile exactly what.
i kinda, do shit. observe. then discover motivation...
but in my imagistic way i think i was headed somewhere with this...
without realizing i was outlining what the first 10 years after diagnosis have been for me...

This is just a reminder that #autism doesn’t just exist in April. I’m still here. #autismacceptance
In the BBC Documentary Podcast episode “Autism, Empathy and Psychopaths”, journalist Sue Nelson reflects on being told she scored low empathy during her autism assessment. She questions this label, exploring distinctions between affective and cognitive empathy, and how these concepts are frequently misapplied in clinical settings—especially when autistic communication styles differ.

Autistic people don’t struggle to communicate—they just communicate differently. New research busts myths and calls for real inclusion. #Neurodiversity #AutismAcceptance #InclusiveSociety

"The Autism Curve" (@BBCRadio4) is a rare, careful look of the rise in autism diagnoses — resisting pathologising narratives and centering evidence over panic.
Michael Blastland takes a clear-eyed, data-informed approach to a conversation often clouded by stigma, examining shifting diagnostic categories, changing awareness, and what it means for autistic people.

Well, that was a particularly horrendous Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month (looking at you, RFK Jr, the NHS, and certain news outlets). Not a whole lot of acceptance going on. It seems many people need reminding that we are not "broken" or "less than". We do not need other people to decide who we are or if we deserve to exist.
