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

We talk about autistic children more than autistic adults, but what about the lost generations?
How many people were mislabelled, misunderstood, or written off as “difficult,” “lazy,” or “broken” and pushed to the margins of life? 1/2

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.

The Epstein files were never just about one man or one politician. They point to something bigger, networks of power, wealth, and influence that protected abuse for years. 1/5

Spent my adult and teenage life searching for What When Why and How.
Even if i wasn't interested in politics (which i am) it would be interested in me.
So let's see if @iandunt.bsky.social can enlighten me.

Living in a world designed for neurotypical social cues feels like trying to play a game where everyone else has a rulebook I’ve never seen. It’s exhausting to constantly decode the illogical, yet we have no choice but to participate. 1/2

The "loud room containing your favourite book"
Is social media “good” or “bad” for autistic people? It’s not that simple. It can be a lifeline for connection and a relief from the pressure of eye contact, an equaliser where we find our people. But it comes with a hidden cost. 1/5

My self analysis:
I naturally look for structures and frameworks to explain how the world works. Politics, economics, and social systems aren’t just interests; they’re maps that help me orient myself in a confusing social world. 1/6

What the far right fear most is the people: people thinking for themselves, talking to each other, and realising they have more in common with their neighbour than with any billionaire or demagogue. Division is their oxygen. It’s how they thrive. 1/3

Transfer deadline day. I wonder which Tory will sign for Reform? They are desperate for a few more right wingers.

The Erosion
Liberal democracy doesn’t usually collapse overnight. It erodes slowly, trust drops, power concentrates, and people feel their voices matter less. That fragility isn’t paranoia; history shows rights and institutions only survive if people actively defend and renew them. 1/5

You don’t defeat reactionaries by reacting to them.
You defeat them by giving people an alternative, something to believe in, and something worth fighting for.

Autistic thinking is often about consistency. The same rules should apply to everyone, or they aren’t rules at all. “My enemy’s enemy is my friend” breaks that logic. It asks us to excuse harm when it’s useful. That isn't strategy. 1/2

My enemy’s enemy is my friend” is one of the most dangerous ideas in politics. It doesn’t defeat injustice, it just relabels it. Once you excuse crimes because the perpetrator hurts someone you oppose, you’ve stopped standing for values. 1/3

The Logic Gap: I see the world through bottom up processing, gathering details to build a conclusion. Many neurotypicals use top down processing, starting with a narrative and filtering out facts that don’t fit. It’s a fundamental difference in how we perceive reality. 1/6

We are living through the final, desperate gasps of a political era that no longer fits our world. From MAGA to Reform, this isn’t a new beginning. It’s the last flare of a generation that looked the future in the eye, and decided it was too frightening to face. 1/5

Are autistic people shy? I’m not convinced. Social situations are confusing for us, yes, but confusion isn’t the same as fear. Most neurotypical people absorb social rules automatically. We usually have to learn them consciously. We can learn them, and often we do. But that learning has a cost.

Living in a world not built for me is exhausting. I mask, I misread, I overload, I burn out. I struggle in ways most never see, but I find a way forward slowly, honestly, on my own terms. I get overwhelmed and want to disappear, but I adapt. I endure. Survival is my quiet rebellion. #Autistic
