Have you ever questions the concept of #alexithymia - our conference prep has got us thinking.. what if it’s more about mismatch in understanding.

Epistemic injustice... being autistic means one’s credibility and capacity to relate an accurate account of one’s own experience is often questioned. How can I be a doctor if I am autistic? Conversely, how can I be autistic if I am a doctor?

We must stop gatekeeping care based on ‘visible’ distress alone. The problem isn’t that “too many” people are being diagnosed—it’s that our systems weren’t built to support the correction coming after decades of mysoginistic healthcare

Science is finally catching up to what autistic women have known for decades: We were never “less autistic”—we were just left out of the research.
Medical misogyny shaped the tools, the data, and the diagnoses.
Now it’s time to listen. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

RFK Jr.’s comments are distressing autistic people, families, and advocates who have fought for decades to dismantle harmful stereotypes. When public figures describe autistic people as incapable of love, work, or joy, it’s not just offensive—it’s dangerous. It sets us back.

It fuels discrimination and makes it harder for to access the belonging and support we deserve. Autistic lives are not tragedies. We need leaders who listen to our voices—not ones who speak over us with outdated, dehumanising narratives. We are not broken, the system is. #rfkjr

#ADHD diagnosis being a key to understanding, is not a “soft benefit.” After years of self-blame, masking, misdiagnosis, and marginalisation, it can open doors to language, support, safety, and community. It can be protective against self-harm, suicidality, abuse, and exclusion.

Just because the benefit might not be apparent to others, doesn’t mean it’s not significant.

One reason why autistic people’s challenges are often not understood or respected is that many of them are internal/invisible. You can’t see, hear or feel someone else’s sensory overload, executive dysfunction or burnout, so most have no awareness of what these are like for us.

We desperately would love accessible tickets to the @taylorswift13 concert for some of our Melbourne ladybugs. Has anyone got any contacts?
