I'm a Chartered Civil Engineer. I like numbers, patterns, figuring out how things work and best of all - my dog. #neurodivergent #ActuallyAutistic

@adorewordss Yes please!

#askingAutistics . What do you do when you are so overwhelmed with life, have no one to talk to and can't seem to sort yourself out?

[Anna P @APre570n]

@tomhardylips @NoNonsenseND Very real. I try my best to make friends, but it's like people can see I'm different and don't like me because of it.

Struggling to sort of manage myself. #ActuallyAutistic Everything feels too much.

Small talk and conversations can be really hard for autistic people.

As an autistic person, seemingly mundane and everyday events can be incredibly distressing and traumatic

[Anna P @APre570n]

Exactly 6 years since my autism diagnosis.

What a rollercoaster of emotions, replaying bits of my life and understanding why they were so difficult at times.

I'm finally at peace with with being #autistic, its who I am. I'm not the problem, its lack of understanding that is.

Why is the right environment essential for neurodivergent people?

Because, the wrong environment will ultimately lead to two outcomes:

- Masking your true authentic self - or
- Meltdown or shutdown because being your self leads to you being judged, punished or invalidated.

As an autistic person, when I feel an emotion, I feel like it will last forever…

[Anna P @APre570n]

This is what most days feel like for me. It can be really distressing at times. #ActuallyAutistic

tbh I sometimes forget I’m #ActuallyAutistic

When I’m stressed or overloaded I expect myself to “just be able to handle it” because it’s what I’ve “always done”

I still struggle with providing myself the accommodations that I’ve needed my whole life

It’s a process

Autistic in the workplace…

[Anna P @APre570n]

I am #autistic and can't make up stories, but my dreams are so crazy, vivid and imaginative. #askingautistics, is anyone else the same?

[Genius Within @geniuswithinCIC]

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth

We live in a world that tries to tell us #Disabled is a bad word. It isn't!

In an ableist world being proudly ourselves is a radical act.

Did you know that being sensory sensitive can take a toll on a person's emotional well-being?
