Semi-Verbal Autistic 🌈

Autism is my painful special interest, I'm a L2 semi-verbal autistic 90s baby with a "Greta Thunberg complex" regarding the autism industry. ♿🩼♾️ She/Her. UK. ⚠️ I can't read DMs.

It's not difficult to recognise autism in girls. You just need to pay attention!
Decades of suffering could be prevented if allistics stopped ignoring female autism.

Autistic adults don’t need to be fixed.
We need lives that don’t require constant self-betrayal to move about in the world.
Needs aren’t preferences.
Support isn’t indulgence.
Dignity is absolutely not optional.
None of this is radical - it’s baseline humanity.
Get with the picture!

British society is built to murder Autistic girls.
First we are failed by school & the SEND system because we "look fine in school". We go to the NHS & fail to get diagnosis. Then we end up in the mental health system that pathologizes out minority stress. Finally, we suffer deaths of despair.

What worries me most about this is that it is likely to be autistic kids who will lose support at the most crucially needed time.
Those (often girls) who are perceived to be "fine in school" at primary because of the consistency and sense of safety. Then the transition to secondary is devastating.

Each autistic person is different, but a lot of us share sensitivities and may respond badly to the following types of stimuli:
- systemic injustice
- dehumanising behaviors
- indifference towards facts
- lack of commitment to logical reasoning

allistics should spend less time asking me what my Autistic superpower is and more time asking what my specific Autistic ethical scrupulosity is

The specific anguish of
1) feeling like the most educated Autistic on Earth re: Autistic oppression, and
2) seeing naive Autistics submitting to epistemic pollution, either that of the neurocolonizer or generating their own.
A very specific alienation, 🥰 my own special circle of Hell.

every day I feel the anguish of being one of the most intelligent people in this specific domain (I feel alienated gifted kid syndrome)
while simultaneously being very unintelligent about everything else, e.g. basic executive functioning, people manipulate me easily because I'm trusting ... etc

"Autistic superpowers" is dehumanising nonsense etc but to the extent that it exists, my superpower is semantic clarity, this makes me good at neologisms and textually articulating a concept but is completely worthless to capitalism

Neurofascist society insists on the polytropic lifestyle.
Suppressing one's monotropic flow causes burnout, executive dysfunction and alienation from oneself.

Lateral Autcide:
Diagnosed Autistics who gaslight the undiagnosed Autistics about their Autism.
Denying a person's existence is one of the steps of genocide.

Many diagnosed Autistics have a total lack of class consciousness and happily engage in the erasure of any Autistics that cannot use their bourgeois diagnostic infrastructure.

I desperately yearn for the time when Autistic online spaces were unanimously progressive neurodiversity places, not this regressive Hell where the diagnosed Autistics bully their lower class Autistics to death.

X has been astroturfed with rage bait / right wing psy ops where they create viral tweets that suggest Autistic people/culture are a shallow trend with an illusion of consensus,
it's an example of society sowing division between the neurocolonized and the lower class Autistics.

it feels like the NHS mental health system was built to kill Autistics;
it is staffed with untrained, lazy and malicious people who don't care about Autistic distress

When I was in mental crisis because of a decade of severe systemic failures towards my autism, I felt the pressure to educate the responders otherwise they'd pathologize and misread my distress.
I failed because I'm semi-verbal.

An underappreciated aspect of Autistic masking is having to educate everyone you meet on the concept of Autistic oppression, while those same people are disabling and exhausting you with their allistic behaviours.
How is one person supposed to carry all of that -- while being verbally disabled?

There are three social clubs on Earth.
1) The allistics
2) The diagnosed/neurocolonized Autistics
3) The critical, marginalized Autistics
I am trapped in the 3rd category, yelling into the void about the first two social clubs.
