Semi-Verbal Autistic 🌈
@autisticventing.bsky.social
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.

If you're autistic, it's kind of impossible to care less. The only way I can think about it is to manage the intensity of caring

I genuinely feel like one of the most persecuted Autistics under modernity.
Underclass Autistics are totally un-represented.
Nobody wants to diagnose us. We don't have bourgeois parents to panic about our weirdness or vouch for us. Only rich people get "diagnosed".

I wish more people could look beyond the bullshit artificial structures that modernity has invented.
Diagnosis exists because a standardized industrial society needs to control people. It doesn't exist to recognise and support Autistics.

"You should get assessed for autism" always triggers me, because everyone operates on the assumption that:
1) you have access to a competent clinician
and
2) the psych industry is the arbiter of Autistic existence, and only the Neurocolonizer can decide if you're Autistic or not

"Confidently wrong" allistics are my top trauma category. Practically all my enemies earned that label because they were confidently wrong.
I feel like a very autistic trait is holding a grudge against someone (or disliking them) because they loudly "corrected" you when you were right.
I have a handful of people that I side-eye when I see them because of this. I was right 😤

I can't stop thinking about the overreach of the psych industry to pathologize minority struggles as "clinical depression" and "anger issues", and how that has seeped into the popular imagination so now the average person gaslights me with the same clinical terminology.

Autistic people oppose cure.

We are a natural way of being.

my muted words have disappeared again, and now I have triggering content on my skyline again

My muted words library has been deleted on all my accounts and it's not letting me add new words. Suddenly, my timelines are covered in triggering content.
I can't find a solution. It's on both app and browser. I can't safely use Bluesky anymore and seem to be the only person with the problem.

Similarly, the NHS crisis team is only reachable by phone. I'm semi-verbal so I don't have access to the crisis team. Spontaneous articulation is too hard for me.
Places like GPs and pharmacies have to start offering email alongside phonecalls as a mode of communication because it’s a fundamental accessibility issue. As an autistic, like many other neurodivergents, having to phone places can cause me to pretty much meltdown.

Imagine trying to have a conversation while a radio is playing loudly, the lights are flickering, and you’re expected to respond quickly and appropriately.

Being autistic feels like my brain takes in more information than it can comfortably process, all the time.

23.5% is surprisingly high.
I expected <10%.
Perhaps some are oblivious to other people's judgements of them.

It's 3am and I just had my 93rd meltdown of the year and broke a mug from throwing it against a wall.
I am deeply tired of this. The NHS has broken my mental health irreparably.

The deep existential violence of struggling as an Autistic person in an allistic world, constantly misread and misunderstood and denied empathy or insight into my world, and then having my autism erased too.
It's just a life of Despair, all the way down. 🌀
