As an autistic person, I’ve always been a "systematiser." I look for the logic. And the logic of our current way of living is completely upside down. We produce mountains of food that rot, and build rows of houses that sit empty, all because they haven't been "purchased." 1/2

Imagine a world where your value isn't tied to your "output" or your ability to "sell yourself" to a boss. Imagine if we just... did what needed doing. If you’re a builder, you build. If you’re a carer, you care. Not for a wage, but because the community needs it and you can provide it. 1/2

Neurotypical thinking often starts with a conclusion. A problem appears, the brain reaches into past experience, and forms a model fast. New facts are filtered to fit that first picture. Efficient and useful, but it can lock the frame before all the pieces are on the table. 1/4

If a person works full time and still can’t pay rent, the problem isn’t their effort.
It’s the rules of the game.
We’ve normalised struggle so much that fairness now sounds extreme.

The question isn’t, "Can we afford to help people?"
The question is, "Why do we accept a system that makes help necessary in the first place?"
Prevention costs less than desperation.
The system works fine for the rich and powerful.

Morning Troops. Seahawks defensive display won the day. Tbh American Football is bit slow for me. Prefer Rugby when it comes to playing with odd shaped balls.
Watched my favourite band. Got to half time. But after a 12 hour shift at work its bed for Pablo. Watch the second half when i wake up.

Masking isn’t lying.
It’s survival training you never signed up for.
The problem isn’t that autistic people learn to mask.
The problem is a society that punishes us when we don’t.

There are whole generations walking around undiagnosed, mislabelled, self blaming. Adults who think they failed at being human when actually they were never given the right manual. 1/3

Civil liberties don’t maintain themselves. They aren’t museum pieces from a heroic past. They’re habits practiced daily, questioning, voting, organising, reading beyond headlines, refusing easy narratives. 1/2

Inspiration doesn’t always look heroic. Sometimes it’s just not turning your anger inward. Sometimes it’s going to work when every sensory nerve is screaming. Sometimes it’s cancelling plans and refusing to hate yourself for needing quiet. 1/2

Learning social norms as a second language is exhausting. You can become "fluent," you can pass for a local, and you can say the right things at the right time, but you’re always translating in your head. 1/2

The cult of the strongman is always the same story with different accents. “Only I can fix it.” “Everyone else is corrupt.” “Trust me.” That script has been recycled for centuries. The names change, the outcome doesn’t. Concentrated power always demands more loyalty and less questioning. 1/2

Mental pain isn’t always dramatic. It can be flat. Numb. Wordless. You sit there knowing something hurts but not being able to name it. People think silence means nothing’s wrong. Sometimes silence is the loudest alarm there is. Not everyone has instant emotional vocabulary. 1/2

Social justice that ignores neurodivergent people is just hierarchy with better branding. Accessibility isn’t only physical space, it’s conversation speed, sensory load, meeting culture, unspoken rules, the thousand invisible barriers no one writes down but everyone enforces. 1/2

People talk about mental health like it’s a bad week or a rough patch. For some of us it’s a background hum that never fully switches off. A constant static in the skull. You learn to function with it the way people learn to sleep near a motorway, you adapt, but it’s never silent. 1/2

When powerful men like Trump amplify dehumanising imagery or target communities with policy, it isn’t "politics as usual" it has consequences for real families and real lives. Leadership sets the tone; the office of president should elevate a country’s values, not drag them into the darkness. 1/4

Autism doesn’t get "worse" as we age. We’re the same neurotype we’ve always been. What changes is our energy and resilience. Decades of masking and pushing through environments that overwhelm us add up. It’s not a decline; it’s cumulative fatigue. The answer isn’t "trying harder." 1/2

You can’t 'overcome' autism. But you can overcome the barriers society puts in our way: inaccessible environments, stigma, sensory overload, and rigid expectations. We don’t need fixing. We need understanding, acceptance, and spaces where we can thrive.
