@AutisticPb Omg yes, and in secondary school I had to choose between walking into a huge echoey room full of hundreds of students, and potentially being scolded for not attending. Horrific memories of that

So there is news in my life:

My Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnostic Report has finally arrived.

A thread.

(It would really be nice if people retweeted this.)

What growing up with undiagnosed autism meant for me. - a thread. /1

[Aspergette 👩‍🦰🌱 @aspergette]

Funny how getting diagnosed with #Autism was less 'oh, I'm not like everyone else', and more 'oh, nobody else is like me'.

it's #MentalHealthAwareness until you see someone walk into a job centre

it's #MentalHealthMatters until someone can't work more than 15 hours a week

it's #BeKind until someone becomes homeless

you cannot support disabled and mentally ill people if you are also classist!!

TW: suicide

An incredibly bleak view into how the needs of so-called "high-functioning" disabled people are belittled and ignored.

it's so hard to convince yourself the little things are worth staying for

[Aspergette 👩‍🦰🌱 @aspergette]

so it turns out i'm not actually a leo/virgo cusp, i'm just #ActuallyAutistic

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

Some of the reasons @AutisticGirls_ found for why children were denied referral for an autism assessment:
👉🏻 Makes eye contact
👉🏻 Can hold a conversation
👉🏻 Over-imaginative
👉🏻 Mother being over-protective
👉🏻 Child too sensitive
👉🏻 Child talks to much

hey it's me. your favourite #actuallyautistic cambridge graduate 😍

[Florian 🌈 @flxpsybunny]

I'm Flo, and I'm autistic. Autism is an inherent part of me. It cannot be separated from me, it makes me who I am. My autistic brain is beautiful. I am #NotADisease.

[Aspergette 👩‍🦰🌱 @aspergette]

@_Magda_Sophia It definitely feels easier knowing that other people prefer me not whispering! I'd never do it in public bc of my social anxiety but I think it'll be okay around the house. :)

[Aspergette 👩‍🦰🌱 @aspergette]

I verbally stim quite a lot with certain words/phrases, and because I don't want to disturb people, I tend to whisper while I do it.

My mum just informed me that this is in fact very creepy and she would prefer me to not whisper 😅

how is the house of lords still a thing. how are there not one, but hundreds of unelected (largely) old white men playing this role in our society.
