Autism is having to understand other people before you understand yourself, and noone making the effort to understand you. Which even you don't understand, because all your effort has been spent understanding them.

Adhd and autism actually have very little overlap. The symptoms appear similar but the reasons behind them are different. Once you learn the reasons, if you're still not sure it's possible you have both.

More people need to learn about dissociating in autism because once I stopped doing it so much, all my sensory issues felt just as intense as they were as a kid. Dissociating makes me not meltdown, but it does not make me functional. It's not the same as masking.

Like I made a thread about not cleaning an autistic persons room without asking, and most of the adhd people also agreeing were saying "how will I find anything now." Not, "this is different and therefore wrong."

There's this autistic girl on tiktok who voids her bowels. Therapist said it's attention seeking. I did the same thing as a kid, drank and drank and drank. It's cause I was fucking constipated. But unlike this girl, I can take my ass to the bathroom.

As an autistic adult, I'm really tired of people acting like I just have unfounded anxiety when I don't go somewhere.. The anxiety is secondary. The anxiety is because I KNOW I'm not going to have a good time and I know YOU are going to be annoyed by that.

If autism isn't disabling it wouldn't meet diagnostic criteria right? And I don't mean if other people think you're fine I mean if a person genuinely thinks their autistic traits pose no problem, it literally wouldn't qualify for diagnosis. Right?

Like you do what you do as a fellow autistic person. I will do what I do. If people use me to decide all autistic people are like me or want what I want that's a them problem. I don't care.

The more I talk to autistic people, the more I realize our experiences are at least half based on if we had a good support system. Did people understand what autism was, did they embrace or belittle you. #autism

Another way to test this is adhd meds. If anything, they make the autistic traits even stronger. That's why I still haven't found one I like. My theory is that adhd can "mask" autism in a way.

As an autistic dyke, I do empathize with autistic men. I often struggled with feeling creepy or not understanding a boundary before it was stated. The main difference I see between us is this: Entitlement. Also, yall are sneaky.

Like as a kid I talked non-stop out of a turn (impulsivity.) But also about the same topic, over and over, and couldn't pick up that I was annoying other kids without being told.

For #AutismAwarenessMonth I want to emphasize that when I say autism I mean autism. Not neurodiverse. Not neurodivergent. When I say autism I. mean. AUTISM. Say the word.

She eats veggies before her meat. So did I, because I knew that that helped my digestion.
