Society doesn't take your trauma as an indicator you could use some care. Hell no. Society takes your trauma, if it's the big bad boy trauma, as a mark on you that makes you a freak.

Autistic exhaustion is rarely solely about energy.
It’s about compression.
Lack of freedom.
The daily work of holding back physical movement, emotions, thought, and truth - just to be digestible to those around us.

‘Societies idea of hurt and rescue’ except the ‘rescue isn’t a rescue :(
Neurodivergence is being mocked your whole life for being "weird" because you're different, then after years of social trauma finally learning to embrace your differences only to be told "everyone is like that, you're not special" 😒🤦♀️

This is also a problem. We have an ageing population. The highest retirement age and the lowest pensions in Europe. Labour sadly are thinking of taxing pensions further. It means many elderly are continuing to work long past retirement age. As we age our immune systems are less able to cope with 🧵
Take into consideration too, that a lot of the workforce are elderly because they stick at the jobs. But do much do, their health after years of work has diminished. Longer hours, no wage increase, higher retirement age. And the youth, can’t get jobs because of this.

"The hard truth about underfunding palliative care is that people who are at their most vulnerable – the dying – suffer more pain, more indignity, less choice & less autonomy than they might have."
Incredibly, only 30% of hospice care is NHS funded.

I'm drawing while gradually recalling how to do it. I haven't drawn for about three weeks. For me, that's a long gap.
