Autistic people don't need to be "fixed." We aren't broken. Autism is a brain type. You can't cure a brain type. That's called eugenics. We deserve to be accommodated. Not talked over, belittled, underestimated, or dismissed entirely. #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Autistic #AutismAwareness

Having a dead kid is worse than having an autistic kid. Vaccines & Tylenol have been proven to not cause autism. Take medical advice from doctors, not politicians. If you decide to not vaccinate your child, then fine. Be mindful how your language can hurt autistic people. youtube.com/shorts/MaeRH...

Studies show vaccines & Tylenol don't cause autism. So, why is there more autism now? Because we KNOW MORE about autism now & are better able to diagnosis it than we were before. That's it. It's that simple. #Autism #Vaccines #Tylenol youtube.com/shorts/ktIbm...

Friendly reminder to parents who don't want to vaccinate their kids because "vaccines cause autism": Autistic children can hear you. Be careful about what message you're sending to autistic kids. Don't make them feel unwanted or lesser than. #Autism #AutismAwareness #Vaccines #VaccinesSaveLives
Autistic children can hear you.

They hear you say "I would rather have my child die than risk them being like you."

How do you think that makes that child feel?
Would you want someone to say that to your child?

Autism isn't a disease.
Vaccines cause adults, not autism.

Having a chronic illness can make it hard to do the things you enjoy.

It's easy to find yourself stuck in a cycle of avoiding things that make you happy out of fear it will cause a flare-up.

But avoiding everything that makes you happy can be dangerous & lead to depression.

It can be hard to find the right balance between doing  things that bring you joy, while also listening to your body & resting to avoid another flare-up.
 
Remember, even small moments of joy can make the hard days easier.

Darkness can be misleading.

It can make you feel trapped, like you've made no progress at all and continuing is hopeless. 

That's what darkness is good at—deception.

As hard as it is, you have to keep moving if you ever want to get out, despite feeling trapped by it.

You won't get out all at once.

You have to keep crawling.

And just know that you'll make it out of the darkness one day.

The clarity my #autism diagnosis gave me was both reassuring & heartbreaking. It was a relief to finally understand why I was struggling, & heartbreaking to realize how little the job I loved was willing to do to support me, even with a formal diagnosis in hand... open.substack.com/pub/mindspir...

Yes!! It's not that I'm not grateful... It's just that I pay a bunch of money to very expensive doctors to get lots of medical advice that doesn't work. 🙃 I'd really prefer to not get any more. Thanks! 😘✌️ #ChronicIllness #Disability

Sometimes I decide to unapologetically be myself. Not because I feel confident, but out of spite. Some people will try to control you and tell you who you should be, especially when you're #neurodivergent. Be yourself out of spite #Motivation #Mindfulness #MentalHealth #Wellness #Healing #Autism

Many autistic adults, especially if they have jobs, have to learn to mask their meltdowns. Having a meltdown at work would be seen as "unprofessional," so we have no choice but to mask. Sometimes those meltdowns instead become shutdowns, since those can be "acceptable." #Autism #ActuallyAutistic
