Most of society doesn’t want autistic people to thrive.

They want us quiet.

Compliant.

Grateful for scraps.

Ashamed of our needs.

Too exhausted to resist.

Because thriving autistic people ask questions.
Name harm.

Set boundaries.

Disrupt the systems that rely on our silence.

Autistic life is getting accused of overreacting when actually all you're doing is reacting appropriately to a situation that just feels wrong to you.

Israel is being portrayed as the victim as it launches a war of aggression against Iran.

It's committing genocide, invading its neighbours, committing every war crime under the sun.

Feel like you're losing your mind?

Well, you're not.

Disabled people have warned the Labour government that they will “not go quietly” and plan to keep fighting its plans to cut spending on their benefits by billions of pounds a year, as they staged a dramatic “die-in” outside a London landmark.

We are still waiting for an explanation of how the labour government will ensure that "those who want to work should be supported so that they can do so" while cutting the benefits that support disabled people to work.

Even if you're not Autistic, chances are there is probably more people than you realise that you know, without knowing they're autistic.

Being autistic is doing what was asked, then being lectured about not doing what was implied.
