I’ve avoided plenty of social situations in my life, but I’ve never actually followed through with my fantasy of becoming a hermit in the woods. 1/3 #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

Every self-employed Autistic I work with blames themselves. They're exhausted, stressed, wondering if they're cut out for this. But they're not the problem. Standard business advice wasn't built for neurodivergent brains. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity 1/2

Many aspects of our lives are shaped by strong social pressures, happenstance, luck, and (mis)fortune, that don’t necessarily reflect our actual preferences, yet it’s common that other people assume that’s what we wanted. Or we believe that lie ourselves, and we blame ourselves for not “making better choices”. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

When I was a kid and complained the ice cream was cold, they laughed at me. When I fought my mom putting on tights, she would get exasperated. When I "went into a sulk" over a change of plans, they said it wasn't a big deal and I should just get over it. Labeling it "not a big deal" was a way for them to get off the hook of having to deal with what was really going on. https://youtube.com/shorts/b_EZ_iPFoaE?feature=share #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

I spent years feeling like my body was overreacting to things other people brushed off. It made more sense when I realised most of my rules about what is and is not 'safe' were written in childhood. Of course that stuff is still affecting you. That is when you learned what did and did not feel safe. https://youtube.com/shorts/_U6Prl9q9zw?feature=share #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

There is no magical combination of words that will get across exactly what you mean, only the things that you mean, and that cannot be misunderstood or misinterpreted. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

People who easily picked up on normative social cues as they were growing up often struggle with explaining how they work and why they matter, because they’ve never had to. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

I remember sitting in the car with my mom in late high school, crying in a rare moment of emotional overflow, begging her to explain why I didn’t have friends, why the other kids didn’t treat me the same, what was wrong with me. It took 2 more decades for me to understand why I was different. In this video, I try to finally answer, describing a pattern I’ve seen from hundreds of Autistics. https://youtu.be/Epr3sDaKb-8?si=xgoAWCsKaNUJHTff #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity
