#LateDiagnosis is all too common for black autistic adults. It's time to raise awareness and break the stigma. #ActuallyAutistic #BlackAutism

If 'The Truman Show' terrified you, you may have autism.

This cannot be overstated <3

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

One reason your autism may have gone undetected for so long is that allistic people experienced similar challenges to the ones you expressed, not realising you experienced them to a far greater extent than they did, because it’s hard to measure/compare experiences through words.

how does one get back in touch &/or reconnect with their body after nearly a lifetime of trauma?

@ChrisAlvino Thank you for posting this. This game is great 😂

@russtaylor56 @PrematureTantie Haha I'm not sure I understand this comment. All I mean is it seems counter productive to tell someone who regularly tweets about hearing voices, that you think their schizophrenia is a misdiagnosis. Maybe I'm wrong...

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

@PrematureTantie Reminds me of being told, "just be yourself", as an autistic person. Yeaaaaaah... I already know you won't like that 😂

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

@russtaylor56 @PrematureTantie Lol. You might think this is helpful, but it's not 💀

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

It is deeply distressing to be told, "you don't seem like you care", when you care so much it hurts 🖤

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

I think there may be a strong corralation between "resting bitch face" and autism 😂

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

@AllOfUs3010 Oh lawd. I'll often say "that's funny" when I don't muster up the energy to laugh, and I can't say it's been very well received haha

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

Remember to be kind to yourself ❤️

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

@hi_its_annaleah If only ❤️

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

@hi_its_annaleah No doubt this is why so many neurodivergent people are traumatised. I hope you are healing ❤️

@anarcho_goblin Shit. I totally don't understand the meaning of "theyfab" 😬 Could you explain why it's bad?

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

Drink some water ;)

[Autistics Anonymous @AutisticsAnon]

@KatyElphinstone I definitely can't imagine being autistic in this world and not being anxious.

There is a suicide epidemic in the #ActuallyAutistic community. We are 11x more likely to take our own lives. Suicidal thoughts happen to most of us. Let’s remember that & support each other and work together to fight the stigma against us in NT society. #AutisticTwitter #Autism
