It’s not that I refuse to conform, I can’t, even if I wanted to.
I’m not wired for this world.
My mind was rebelling long before I could think.
Disordered? Maybe, if the order doesn’t fit.
But I prefer different.
This puzzle isn’t for fitting in.
I’m me, and that’s just fine.

Anne Frank warned that cruelty doesn’t arrive suddenly, it creeps in through policies people excuse. That’s exactly what we’re seeing now. A nation built by immigrants should know that keeping families together isn’t radical. It’s the basic standard of a civilised society.

People say autistic people “speak a different language.”
What they never admit is that we are the ones expected to become fluent in theirs. We spend our lives translating tone, body language, emotion, and eye contact just to move through the world. 1/6

Adulting is hard for autistic people, especially when we never got the instruction manual. It doesn’t make us permanent teenagers, it makes us adults who struggle with being adults.

X isn’t a ‘free speech’ platform. It’s a pit of rage and resentment. A dark place especially for neurodivergent people. It’s one giant rabbit hole of anger that leads straight into a maze of hate.

One of the most damaging myths about autism is the idea that autistic people are “permanent teenagers.”
It’s patronising.
It’s insulting.
And it’s nowhere near reality. 1/10

Dear Home Secretary,
The right wing racist voters you’re trying to impress don’t care about ‘legal’ or ‘illegal’ immigrants. They just don’t like people who look different from them, and that includes you.
Stop pandering to racists.

The autistic person is not the problem.
The environment is the problem.
Change the environment, and you change the entire experience.
We’ll still have our difficulties, that’s part of who we are, but understanding and proper accommodations make those difficulties manageable, not defining #Autism

There are two kinds of empathy:
Cognitive, understanding what someone feels.
Emotional, feeling it with them.
Neurotypicals often mix the two.
Autistic people can separate them, we might understand without reacting, or feel deeply but struggle to express it. 1/4

I’m not a type of autistic person, I’m a person with an autistic mind. And maybe that’s the difference.
I look for the mechanics of everything, emotion, morality, order, justice, and try to make sense of it through logic and patterns. And i try to make sense of this strange world.
