ASD is a mental health disorder (disability) DX by the DSM-5. Not an identity. "Identifying" as autistic, minimizes the challenges of individuals with the medical diagnosis. Please stop. Get a diagnosis from a medical professional. It's hard enough already to get insurance to pay for services.

I know formal diagnosis isn’t accessible for everyone, and self-ID can be meaningful. I just ask that people talk about it with care—for many families, autism isn’t a label or trend. It’s daily life. 💙

Autism isn’t just a self-discovery journey for us—it’s a condition that usually shows signs by 18 months and affects every part of life: communication, behavior, safety, school, and more. It’s relentless, beautiful, and hard.

Hi! Thanks for thinking of me! I have been a sensitivity reader for several manuscripts that include ASD characters. Feel free to email me at amy@thepurcellagency and we can discuss terms and fees. I'd love to help!

This is so tremendously sad. I'm horrified at what my country is doing to human beings.

I watched the whole thing with utter disgust. Then I saw I misspelled a word in this video and thought man this guy really got to me!
