There is no clean list of autistic traits that one can neatly separate from trauma.
Autism and trauma often grow together.
Because being autistic in an unsafe world is traumatic.
So the real question isn’t - Is this autism or PTSD?
It’s, what does my nervous system need now?”

No person gets to control other people
you want to control somebody, have a kid, see how that works out..
get a dog or a cat, see how long before they run away and/or bite your ass
get over yourselves, no adult needs another "mom"

welp, here’s even more confirmation that we’re going full North Korea dictator mode over here in America
Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Autism is a spectrum because it includes autistic people who have no visible signs of autism, autistic people who have every stereotypical visible sign of autism & autistic people who fall everywhere in between.
We all exist. We are all valid. And we are all deserving of support.

Lockdowns etc… took away the coping and masking mechanisms of many Autistic and ADHD folk.
This may have been the first time they realised they’d been masking their entire lives, and their traits suddenly became super pronounced.
That doesn’t mean lockdowns caused it…

Autism is when your brain responds to "microscopic" differences as if they are assaults on your existence, triggering such intense anxiety that you become completely nonfunctional.

I don’t romanticise autism.
But I’m also done pretending the real problem is us.
It’s the hostile environments, the absurd expectations, and the constant demand to be palatable.

when bell hooks said that having a definition for a word allows you to create a foundation on which you can build reality, if you can name it, then it exists, if there are no words for it, then it doesn't- why mercury rejoices in the 1H.

And yet autistic people blame themselves for being “numb.”
You’re not numb - you’re flooded.

I don't know who needs to see this, but sensory sensitivities due to brain wiring differences are disabling.
What I mean by this is that some people have brain wiring that creates sensory integration issues... which causes the brain to over respond to sensory inputs.
