SO IT’S #Autism Awareness Month?

since am one of those #ActuallyAutistic people Dx at the tender age of 50 (yes, 50. and yes am older now, shut up), am not acquainted with the american rituals of national days or awareness months involving autism.

welp, let me do this as a gentle reminder:

  1. BLACK
  2. INDIGENOUS
  3. PUERTO RICAN
  4. CARIBBEAN
  5. LATINOAMERICANES
  6. WOMEN

can be #autistic too.

and in my case: #dyslexic with a sprinkling of good ol’ extra spicy #ADHD.

but ironically, 🧵

Fair comment on Elon Musk mischaracterising Autism and using it as an excuse to be a jerk. Using disability as a shield for bad behaviour is disgusting and disrespectful to people with disabilities. #ElonMusk #Autism #ADHD #AuDHD

A research supposedly confirming that ADHD and autism share specific brain connectivity patterns. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260408225941.htm Interesting if the connectivity changes they see in MRT have anything to do with the one seen on EEG(as in my teens on my EEG there were some connectivity irregularities noticed) #autism #adhd #AuDHD #neurodivergent

Today is officially #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, designated by the United Nations as day of recognition and appreciation. This kicks off #AutismAwarenessMonth, which many of us call #AutismBewarenessMonth because it’s always much more about “here’s how bad autism is” than “here’s how to make autistic people’s lives better”. When we want to be more positive than snarky, we call it #AutismAcceptanceMonth, because it’s better to be accepted than for people to be aware of us mainly as a set of problems.

The problem with the above is that all that awareness and acceptance is something that allistic people are supposed to do, so the occasion centers allistic people instead of autistic people. The whole month is about how allistic people think and feel about us – it’s not actually about us at all!

But over on Bluesky, Aslynn (@audhd-psychnp.com) hit on some better branding: Autistic People’s Month! I really like this, as it centers us in our own celebration. #AutisticPeoplesMonth is not about how anyone else feels about us, but about our own existence, accomplishments, problems, and all the rest. I hope this catches on, so doing my part to make it happen. April is now ours!

Some quotes as I am able now to read the article. “The co‑occurrence of autism and ADHD is far more common than many people realize. Estimates suggest that roughly 30–80% of Autistic people also meet criteria for ADHD, while about 20–50% of people diagnosed with ADHD also meet criteria for autism, meaning a substantial portion of both communities live in this shared space. Until the DSM‑5 was published in 2013, clinicians were not formally allowed to diagnose autism and ADHD together, despite this high co‑occurrence“ #AuDHD #ADHD #autism #ActuallyAutistic ⬇️

After 15 years of friendship, I have found that explaining neurotypical behavioral patterns and thought processes to my friend with Asperger's Syndrome is not only pretty fun, but also helps me to examine and question the thoughts and actions of myself and others - which is always useful. Generally, our actions and decisions are based on things that make sense to us at the time. But key to developing the skill of #empathy is realizing that we all begin with different starting points - the decisions we make are shaped by different cultural contexts, life experiences, and even neurochemistry. What seems "logical" to ourselves is not necessarily true for other people. Thus, being friends with people with different life experiences, backgrounds, and even neurotype can be very rewarding, as long as you all make an effort to understand each others' perspective. #autism

@autistics . I think I realized something when I saw that the first toot here needed explaining and then wrote the second one, that I assumed everything in the second one was understood when I wrote the first one. That every sentence I write needs a paragraph to explain it, I mean I know I’m decades down the tracks on a divergent in the first place train of thought. . In my dreams, this would be what Trivers said about E. O. Wilson, whereas others speak in a melody, one note after the other, I’m speaking in chords, LOL. Only to myself, of coarse! Surely doesn’t count if no-one else can hear the music, which, boy howdy! . I think it’s either the endless Autistic infodump, or it’s this incomprehensible shorthand. 😳 . I am sorry. SMFH. 😜 . /3 . #ND #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #Empathy

It constantly amazes me how big of a difference it can make to release even a little self-blame and self-judgment. And how big of a difference tiny changes can make when you keep making more and more of them. #Autism #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic #Acceptance #Understanding

@deutrino@mstdn.io I agree. There's nothing I like at work or anywhere else the most than refining my routine. It's the whole reason my gym workout routine is so extremely good and makes me grow so quickly. Continuous refinement. #ADHD #autism #AuDHD

Is there a website as thorough as the German The ADHD compendium (available in English, which is how I read it if course) but for Autism or AuDHD instead ? Please boost for reach https://www.adxs.org/en @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social @autism@lemmy.world #Askfedi #autism #adhd #pleaseboost

The ways I work the most comfortable had a lot more to do with autism than with ADHD. I do not require novelty, I require routine. In fact I hate novelty at work and prefer structure and continuous building up and progressing over a solid foundation. When people keep moving that foundation or the thing I should be focusing on, work becomes a nightmare and start to burn out. @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social #AuDHD #ADHD #Autism

Relato aleatório Se identifica? Conta aí! Uma coisa que faço frequentemente é o "skin picking". Tem 2 tipos que me machucam: 1 - quando sinto algo diferente na pele (casquinhas/espinhas) eu PRECISO tirar, me deixa agoniada se não fizer isso. 2 - especificamente nas minhas pernas, tem algumas bolinhas tipo espinhas (mas não são como a 1 pois essas eu não sinto), eu vivo apertando simplesmente pq gosto. Além dessas, em momentos de mais ansiedade, eu mordo os lábios e as bochechas por dentro (quando eu estava com piercing tbm ficava mordendo - grande risco de quebrar os dentes :blobcat_mlem:), puxo a pele do rosto/orelha, aperto os lábios com os dedos. >> Esses eu percebo que tô fazendo quando já está doendo. ~ que eu lembro agora são essas ~ #tea #autism

Netfix byłby przerażony istnieniem ludzi co mogą używać więcej ekranów i jednocześnie wiedzieć co się dzieje na wszystkich z nich... Tak, mam asd... Można się domyślić, że mogę robić kilka rzeczy naraz i to może być przerażające dla wielu korporacji... #Netfix #Autism #ASD

My 7-year-old is on the spectrum and is a HUUGE fan of trains, specifically the New York City subway system. Lately, he's feeling different from the other kids at school, none of whom love trains. If that sounds like a kid you know, maybe they can become pen pals with my little guy. DMs open if you're interested. #Autism #NYC #Transit
