Things are better for neurodivergent kids now, but we can't lose sight of the fact that without a good education, you’re disadvantaged for life. I empty bins at a hospital, but I could have been much more. Future generations deserve better than just "getting by." #Autism 3/3

Secondary school was better, I stood up to a bully on day one and earned respect. I was the "troublemaker with a heart of gold," leaving at 15 with the reading level of an 11yr old. I’m self educated now, but I often think about how much further I could have gone with the right support. #Autism 2/3

Primary education is vital, but for me, it was 6 schools in 7 years. In the only school where I stayed longer than two years, I was bullied so severely that by age 10, I didn't want to live. I felt different, I was treated differently, and I was struggling to survive. #Autism 1/3

We need a society that doesn't just "tolerate" neurodiversity; it must remove the economic barriers that make diversity a disadvantage. It is time to stop apologising for how we are wired and start dismantling the systems that fail us. 7/7

An individual's needs should be met as a right, not as a reward for "productivity." Whether one contributes through a special interest in complex logistics or requires more support than they can provide in labour, their needs should be met fully and without question. 6/7

We need a society that plans democratically for human comfort, that would prioritise environments that accommodate all neurological types. We need to end the indignity of "charity" and "benefits." Access to the means of life must be a right of membership in the human race. 5/7

If an autistic person cannot "mask" their traits, they are relegated to the industrial scrapheap or trapped in low wage precariousness. Modern environments are loud, bright, and chaotic because it is profitable to build them that way, regardless of the human cost. 4/7

The autistic worker is subjected to the "tyranny of the neurotypical." We are forced to navigate "soft skills" subtle cues, office politics, and the ability to "sell oneself" in an interview, none of which have any bearing on one’s actual ability to perform a task. 3/7

Capitalism is a system of rigid, mechanical standardisation. It requires human beings to function as interchangeable parts in a machine of profit. This demands three things hostile to the autistic constitution: social performance, sensory endurance, and "flexibility" to be exploited. 2/7

To the casual observer, the struggles of the autistic person are often framed as a "medical" tragedy to be cured or a "social" deficit to be managed. But the "problem" of autism is primarily a problem of the market. 1/7

Trump is the scab on the wound of a nation healing from its slave owning, segregation past; but as long as the dream of MLK lives, America will overcome.
The Tяump regime manifests the worse excesses of online behaviour where shitposting is regarded as an expression of virility.

It'll be the rich versus the poor" Beans on Toast

Think about that: the things we need to survive are kept behind a glass wall, not because they don't exist, but because of a "price tag." We’ve prioritised the ledger over the person. We’ve made the "token" more important than the meal. It’s a systemic error on a global scale. 2/2

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

People call this a dream, but it’s the most practical thing in the world. We already have the tools. We already do the work. The only thing standing in the way is a tiny group of people who "own" the world and tell the rest of us we have to pay rent to live on it. 2/2

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

We are different, not defective. Not chaos, a different form of order. We don’t lack logic, empathy, or imagination; we see systems and meanings others filter out. The world calls it "disorder" because it isn’t the dominant setting. Difference isn’t broken. 4/4

Sometimes the solution isn't just a fix, it uncovers a flaw in the question itself. We don’t only answer problems; we expose the hidden structure behind them, the bits everyone else stepped over. Fast top down thinking keeps the world moving. Bottom up thinking stops it missing out. 3/4

Autistic thinking often works the other way around. The instinct isn’t "answer," it’s "data." We gather components, details, and patterns. We build the picture slowly from the ground up instead of dropping a ready made one over the top. That construction reveals unexpected things. 2/4

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.
