@Imaginedragons tonight in the crowd will be the bereaved mother of a 16 year old lost to knife violence. His name was Andy Wood and we played It's OK at his funeral

i made a tiktok about how no-one gives you grace as an autistic person and someone commented saying “they understand until you need understanding” and… yeah that

At almost 40, I don't think I've ever seen or experienced anything more complex than family dynamics.

If you're experiencing something with family that is hurting your heart, especially if it's making you feel isolated, know that you are not alone. ❤️❤️❤️

Women later in life realizing their personality "flaws" were actually undiagnosed ADHD

I want to be that person who breaks things down and explains things. Because I wish people did that for me more. Instead, we often assume people know what we mean when they may not. We use jargon and give steps that are vague. I hope to not do that.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

It's not unusual for trauma survivors to feel like we're this "burden" to the people around us-- especially the people we love. We feel ashamed that we're so "high maintenance." We desperately try to be less of a "hassle."

We're that drowning victim apologizing to the lifeguard.

Hello Twitter world! My supervisor has me worried that I won’t be able to recruit enough participants to write my thesis on autistic experiences of diagnostic overshadowing in physical healthcare, please help! 🙏 #ActuallyAutistic

I am the kind of person who might break a lot of rules but as soon as someone tells me the right way to do something or the way to correct it, I probably won’t make that mistake again. Unless I am completely overwhelmed and learning all the rules is making it hard to remember.

The anxiety this leaves me with just reading it. 😥

*parents, visibly upset but not saying why*

me, an Autistic kid: what’s going on?

parents: you know what you did, why would you even ask that?

me: i dont actually, can you tell me?

parents: if you don’t know then you clearly just don’t care, go to your room

me: what the fuck

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

If you’re upset with an autistic person and want them to apologise to you, you’ll have more success if you tell them why you’re upset instead of acting passive aggressively or saying “you know what you did”. We often see things differently and might not intuit how you’re feeling.

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

In therapy today I realised that most of the day to day anxiety I live with stems from uncertainty. Uncertainty over what other people are thinking, how to act in certain situations, what the outcome of certain things will be & not knowing what is expected of me. It’s draining.

[The Autistic Coach @AutisticCoach_]

You have a sensory profile that you aren’t aware of.

We aren’t born with knowing what they are.

Do you like to keep the curtains drawn? Do you find yourself ripping your clothes off when coming home? Do you massage yourself? Do you sweat when it’s cold?

Maybe this definition of Autism will help you to self identify.

[Janel Comeau 🍁 @VeryBadLlama]

if we’ve brought back global pandemics, titanic disasters, railroad strikes, a King of England and Russian coups, we should also get to bring back the parts of the 20th century where they had cocaine in the soda and a minimum wage earner could buy a family home

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

People don’t want to be rescued— they want to be supported. They want to be listened to. They don’t want to hear the bright side. They want to feel accepted in whatever state they’re in.

[𝔸sh 🐅🍀 @ashleyann_atx]

I used to have this fear. Anytime someone said someone was doing anything incorrectly, it triggered some deeply rooted trauma responses. It was bad at work. They would say at meetings that there were errors and I was like (!?!) — is that something I did? I feel this less.

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

Autistic burnout.
