Physiological/medical differences are one of the fundamental arguments for knowing if you're ND I think. Knowing we communicate differently is one thing. Knowing we may react differently to life saving treatment adds a whole new level. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

On the very first day of #AutismAcceptanceWeek we didn’t expect to need to make a statement about developments which show a profound lack of acceptance and understanding of neurodivergent people. But here we are.

My grieving #ActuallyAutistic brain has unilaterally put on an out of office message, leaving me unable to focus enough to work. Thankfully my employers are being super supportive so I'm on gardening leave for a month, with my work covered πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŒΎπŸŒ¦οΈ

Does anyone have any good resources on navigating the social/emotional aspects of grief and bereavement while #Autistic? What to say to people? Not legal/admin stuff, I got that, but what to say to work colleagues n stuff. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticTwitter #AutisticElders #Audhd

Yesterday a family member referred to being #autistic as "the millstone around your neck" - while trying to be sympathetic

A colleague recently discovered his #ADHD. He asked for info, so today I had the great pleasure of introducing him to his own neurology. He was blown away 🀯 especially with @HowtoADHD With a bit of luck the info I gave will improve life for an entire #Neurodivergent family πŸ’—πŸ§

I am human. We are all humans. Not just the same species, but the same subspecies. No one on earth is more, no one is less. #MoreInCommon #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

Ouch. Even with the amazing #NHS and a truly helpful GP I struggle to have the energy to face the health system and am ignoring several issues. #executivedysfunction

How many health concerns are you ignoring right now because you don’t have the spoons to deal with seeking treatment?
Most of my colleagues don't know I'm #ActuallyAutistic. Random chat today about being #Neurodivergent. One saying he was 'off the scale' on #ADHD screeners. Doesn't seem interested in dx. Make me wonder why I so wanted validation of dx πŸ€”

Being #ActuallyAutistic in our society means that we have experienced profound trauma in our lives. For many, that trauma is still present. We ignore it and try to work thru it, but it's there in our bodies & minds. We need to emphasize the need for trauma work in our community.

I think it often gets forgotten that #ActuallyAutistic folx don't innately do #neurotypical socialisation but they can learn it, and learn it well. It takes effort to perform it tho.

It is so exhausting. Unlike socialising with ND friends, which is so much easier, calmer and more direct.
