Movie autism: everyone accepts me, although I'm very unkind. Even when people tell me I hurt them, I don't care.

Me: does everything to please other people, gets into autistic burnout because of it. Nobody notices my autism, but I still get excluded.

Hi Daisy.🙋‍♀️ @ColleenB123

There's two things that are special about the words Autism Spectrum Disorder in The Netherlands.

Firstly, it's written as one word: autismespectrumstoornis.

Secondly, the abbreviation is ASS.🤭🍑

@AnythingMaureen @fibonacci_rocks I realize now it's not really masking (hiding your autistic traits) that I'm describing. It's more assimilation: pretending to be someone else to fit in. What's probably different from neurotypical people was that I was consciously doing it and thinking about it at 4 years old.

@NeuroRebel Yes, both. Have been since I was born.

Never get a chronic illness, it’s really inconvenient for other people.

I own two cats now!
My sweet and cute Pleuntje (12 years old), and my sweet and slightly naughty Gijsje (4 months old). They bring me so much joy.❤️

- 1% of employed TV writers are
- 2.3% of characters in top films are
- Over 70% of disabled characters on TV are played by nondisabled actors
