Autastic has been around for 8 yrs. Thru the pandemic. Thru times when I had $0 to fund it relying on member donations to keep community doors open. Autistic Twitter was amazing but with everyone scattered, I can't find #AutisticBIPOC. TikTok & IG are inaccessible so IDK. Maybe it's time to stop?

Lawdy. Got a big birthday coming up. Feeling all kinds of ways about it. Still defaulting to measuring my life against standards that exclude me. Still measuring my life against the "potential" of my "gifted" youth. My brain knows all this is utter trash and yet here we are. The Kool-Aid is powerful

Gifting season is here and a girl's gotta fund her life's work somehow. I've curated The 2025 Autastic Holiday Gift Guide to bring joy & ease. Like these cozy logo beanies, a stealth way to show your #AutisticPride.

I really wish more people were dedicated to be kind, regardless of being nice, rather then trying to be nice but skipping being kind entirely. Nice is a cool bit of flavor text. Kind is fucking essential.

Lawdy. Muster the strumph to make a medical appointment by phone and...

• pls confirm by email
• pls confirm by text
• pls respond to the email and text by calling to confirm
• pls confirm your confirmation

You distrustful people are killing me. Do we need a refresher on what 'confirm' means?

I cringe to inform you that I'll be posting a bunch more in the coming months to let people know what we have going on at Autastic and in the Autastic Community. I apologize in advance to those of you who already know but there isn't another way to inform folx who need to find their people. Thx.
