I wonder how other #autistic #actuallyaudhd #actuallyautistic people feel about the tv shows:

- The Good Doctor
- Parenthood

I'm listening to Fern Brady talk about autism. Meltdowns as being like a bottle of pop/soda that's been shaken too much and then you open it.

I've read that it's often like anger. But anger tends to resolve quickly when the cause is fixed. Whereas, with a meltdown, NOPE! We're still "angry".

This was so much of my childhood. I was so angry so often.

Not that I could tell that this was odd because my father didn't like me and would yell at me. And he'd yell at my mother in front of me. I'd get between them and yell at him to stop.

Afterward, after his yelling and demeaning words, I'd go into a quiet room, turn off the lights, sit on the floor, and seethe.

Sure, it was justified seething. I was getting emotionally abused, before anyone thought this was wrong (back in the '80s). But I knew it was **wrong**

But the anger. I would be angry for hours.

When I'd be bullied or teased for being different in school, I'd be angry for a while. I'd even be violent within limits.

When I felt like I had no agency, I'd punch objects. I'd even Charlie horse myself: colloquial for punching myself in the thigh until walking with that leg ached.

So, sure, C-PTSD, because of years of accumulated awfulness. But also autism.

And this is so much of the difficulty with being autistic and getting diagnosed. The diagnostician has to untangle the trauma from possible autistic symptoms. There's overlap.

Also, so so SO many autistics have trauma. So many.

It's funny how "experts" are now discussing two proposals I kept on repeating for a few years now:1. #Korea #Philippines #Japan alliance triangle (and a far future confederation)2. Combining the South China Sea and East China Sea issuesI'm a one-man #Autistic brain trust / think-tank. 🤣

Kim Dami's character—Yun Ina—seems to be Autistic-coded. It's hard to be sure since Kim Dami explained in an interview that her character was scarred by what she witnessed when she was 19, so she's acting like a 19-year old with an intellect of a 29-year old.#Autism #Neurodivergent #Autistic

Yes, I'm an anarcho-syndicalist, bisexual, gender-fluid, autistic, radical leftist!

I won’t apologize for being an anarchist or for being autistic. Autism rules, and so does anarchism!

I was in #Arirang #TheDailyReport by Ms. Sunny a few years back where disabilities were discussed in relation to #Kdrama«Disabilities Redefined in K-dramas, "Extraordinary Attorney Woo"»www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4hy...#AutisticActually #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #Neurodivergent #ASD #Autistic

Dear all, I will only be passively present for the most part for the foreseeable future, so I'm pausing my #hobbystreak and can't do #MiniatureHighlights anymore.

The reason being, my eldest has developed an eating disorder and our first priority is, frankly, to keep her alive and healthy.

She's sadly a victim of #Autistic kids having to fit in to a school system that doesn't recognise their needs, overly gentle approaches to bullying and commercialised mental healthcare.

We'll do our best.

My brain's been serving up some real darkness lately.

(And when an #ActuallyAutistic brain latches onto something, it COMMITS 🙃)

So I'm reminding myself that in this world (especially at this time) ✨#Autistic Joy✨ is an act of defiant resistance.

And I'll be damned if I don't remember to stand in awe of all I've weathered, and of our #neurodivergent culture as a whole.

As an #autistic, I don't understand how one can build friendships by simply asking for each other's phone numbers.Who pushes for conversations? What if the recipient doesn't want to? Aren't you putting them into a tight spot because they don't want to be rude so they end up pretending?

BE KIND IN THIS HEAT

i have been thisclose to an #autistic meltdown because the A/C in my apartment is broken and i have had problems sleeping at night.

also, as many of y’all know, it has not been a year since my last #cancer treatment. my body is still coping with the after-effects of chemo, immunotherapy and radiation. my nuclear boob is still breaking out in a rash if it’s too hot or too sunny.

so just a reminder: the heat exacerbates many conditions.

be mindful. be kind. #fuckCancer

I’m going to start a small online shop selling 3D prints of things I’ve tested and enjoy. 😊 I want to share that joy with people.

Since I’m #ADHD and #Autistic, it’ll first focus on fidget toys, small figures, and keychains. I’ll then add other items related to my hobbies such as gaming themed items, book(ish) things, and of course queer friendly stuff.

If you’d be interested, reply below and I’ll update this post with the store information once I have everything built!

#Wednesday S02 is super enjoyable!

#FOBI = Fear Of Being Included

Yeah, /metoo 😅😝
