Nothing is more #disappointing than finding an #orange that looks fine on the inside, and you peel it to find it’s dried up on the inside. Almost like the people that say we are “fine” don’t see our invisible #disabilities.

So I’m a bit curious. Has anyone in the #neurodivergent #self-advocacy community entered a relationship with another #self-advocate? Just wanted to know how common it is.

Still focusing on my retrophiliac business but also starting to focus on my re-sale clothing & accessory biz because it seems to be where I am finding more success these days.

#HealthCanada has sent out an e-Notice saying that #Acetaminophen, sold under the brand #Tylenol, does not cause autism.

Wow, so the option to turn off #political posts in my suggested feed on #Facebook is not working. Still getting #far-right #grifter garbage in my feed from pages like #Crowder. Just give me an option to disable suggested posts completely already, for fuck sakes #Meta.

You know what’s disgusting? When a #Facebook group that is way newer than mine gets 7x the amount of members, and it’s all just #AI-generated #puzzlepiece #slop rather than actual #neurodivergent #advocacy.

Autism advocacy and activism must make space for mental health. Silencing someone who is responding in panic or in other extreme ways happens far too often, and I am calling it out because it has to stop.

I’m autistic and experienced autonomic nervous system overload during a job trial. Traditional work can be overwhelming.

My wholesale on Faire has plummeted almost 50%, and that makes it harder for me to survive and keep expanding the work I do. I design disability advocacy, neurodiversity, and queer pride enamel pins, stickers, lanyards, and accessories—tools that help people with self-advocacy and visibility.

It is September and Disability Employment Month celebrates disabled workers, but self-employed disabled individuals are often overlooked. They face limited funding, little recognition and few tailored supports. Programs exist, but one-on-one guidance, microgrants and practical mentorship are needed.

Connecting with others can feel overwhelming as an autistic person. Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, miscommunication, and negativity bias can make neutral reactions feel like disapproval.

Very sad to hear #Colorado dumped #mail-in #voting. This will make it harder for those with #disabilities to #vote. Clearly a way to stop #progressives from voting.

TW: Discusses trauma and overwhelm. From my autistic perspective, shutdown is not a choice but a survival response. When someone pressures me, misreads my words, or expects instant reactions, my nervous system takes over.
