The microplastic spoon speaking truly got me. This is so my humor.

Queer spaces in my teens and 20s weren’t always welcoming to trans people. By my late 20s, that started changing. Now a decade later, amid national backlash, many LGB folks are our strongest allies — but some still want to push us back to the margins.

My wife and I finished all our shopping today. If you can, avoid making any purchases tomorrow. If you must spend, choose small businesses. This will send a powerful message to Trump and his friends. Thanks to the person who shared this with me—I’m all in. #EconomicBlackout #PeoplesUnionUSA

People with ADHD don’t struggle with motivation because they’re lazy—it’s because the usual reward systems don’t click the same way. ‘Just push through’ advice lands about as well as a motivational poster in a waiting room. It’s not a character flaw. It’s how ADHD works.

Transitions can be hard for many autistic people—not because we’re unwilling to change, but because shifting from one state to another takes energy. Our brains need time to process, switch gears, and recalibrate. Predictability, preparation, and transition time can make all the difference.

Absolutely. Our struggles are intertwined, and our liberation is collective. Always standing together. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♾️

Yes, both can be true. People deserve access to meds that help and the right to informed consent, non-coercive care, and alternatives. The system’s failures aren’t a reason to restrict access—they’re a call to do better.

First off, yes always a hoodie or sweatshirt of some kind being worn. Secondly, 100% YES TO THIS. Thirdly, I always roll up my sleeves and panic ensues when one of my sleeves start creeping down my arm and getting ever closer to the water. Horrible, just horrible.

For many autistic people, routine isn’t about inflexibility—it’s about creating predictability in an unpredictable world. Knowing what to expect helps regulate the nervous system, making daily life feel calmer and more manageable. Routine isn’t a restriction; it’s a support.

Many folks feel indifferent to gender too. Some people instinctively feel strongly about their gender identity and some feel apathetic/nothing at all. Both are totally normal 🤘🏼

The link between gender and neurodivergence is striking. Autistic people are 6x more likely to be trans or nonbinary. ADHD is also more common among gender-diverse people. Maybe it’s not that neurodivergent people ‘reject norms’—but that we were never wired for them to begin with.

Maybe your autistic friend is truly having a blast, you just can’t tell from their face. It is totally ok to ask if they’re enjoying themselves. Many autists don’t emote in the same ways. If you don’t ask, you’ll never know.

That would be interesting! And needed too, given how commonplace (maybe even necessary in some situations) social media is now.

Yes yes and YES. You should be able to celebrate yourself without all the bullshit. I hope you get more moments of pure, uninterrupted joy.

Sometimes ppl assume that telling me someone’s autistic tells me a lot about them, but the only thing I can assume is some kind of social deviation from NT norms. Everything else is a list of common traits they may or may not have—I know some will apply, but I have no way of knowing which.

I hate that you have to fight this hard just to get your kid the care they deserve. You’re doing an amazing job advocating for them. Finding affirming, non-ABA therapy is so hard, especially with the insurance barriers. Have you looked into DIR/Floortime or occupational therapy?

Autistics are often seen as naive. But many of us are deeply perceptive—we just expect honesty because we communicate that way. It’s not that we don’t know deception exists; it’s that we don’t always anticipate or catch it in real-time.
