Autistic burnout isn’t a rough patch.

It’s a shutdown of the bodymind after years of masking, unmet needs, and constant demand.

It can last months or years.

It’s not personal failure - it’s survival catching up.

A hard reset.

Recovery isn’t linear.

And it’s not your fault.

Autistic Burnout is a disability on top of being autistic.

And like all disabilities, you will have good days and bad days.

It's dynamic.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

One of the darker sides of autism is not really wanting to be here anymore, because what's the point in life if you can't connect with anyone.

Autistic people are six times more likely to commit suicide than a neurotypical person.

If Liz Kendall wants to overhaul the benefits system its time she employed psychologists (preferably themselves autistic) to assess our capabilities before the suicide stats shoot even further through the roof!!

This is so on point!
Being a late diagnosed autistic means realising you spent your entire life understanding others before you understood yourself.

Many autistic people claim disability benefits across the UK.

These cuts will be the cruelest of policies. Targeting the sick and vulnerable.

Where are the increased taxes on the mega rich? The tech corporations? Well?

Hi - any of you writing, Journo pals out there know of someone in the press who’d be interested in me writing a piece about my PIP nightmares? I will supply some gags as well. Can people please repost this please.

Want to show solidarity with your disabled friends & family?

Reach out. Ask them how they are.

Don’t gossip about them and hope the message gets thru.

Don’t tell them they’re exaggerating.

Speak and listen.

Did you know that Autistic people are at a 9x or greater risk of dying by suicide as compared to non-Autistic people?

It’s true 😔

It was true even before *gestures outwardly, with great fatigue* all this happened

We deserve to know regardless of perceived ability/need

Adult diagnosis matters.

American scientists, come to Europe. 🇪🇺🔬

The horror stories about what Trump is doing to US science look like straight up fascism. Scientists need to know their power. Their global mobility has shaped history before- and can again now.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.

I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.

"Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land."

BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
