My two most popular shorts are "Special Ed Is A Parasite That Thrives on Suffering" and "Autistic People Have No Spoons Left For Socializing After Work" in case you think I am an outlier. #autisticburnoutproject #restisresistance

Hi. Yesterday I had bradycardia and couldn't make it to two appointments. Even with electrolytes, coffee, and my adhd meds my heart rate did not rise about 56 ll day and I felt like garbage. I still took the trash out, cared for my son and pets, went to therapy, and got web development work done.

My unusually high score on the Weckler was a the thing I never lived up to but I do feel fairly certain that I can comfortably call the president a low IQ individual.

Hi hello, I have returned from my 5 day long super migraine with a new aura... welcome "everything is orange" to the symptom party! Now... What did I miss? Something about circumcision? #actuallyautistic #autisticburnout #migraine

Return me to myself.
I realised I had just asked to be saved from myself.
But I don’t want to be different from who I am, or to be like everyone else.
I want to be myself.
Which is different.

Hello from 2025 where autistic kids self harming, eloping, and melting down at school is normal but unschooling is taboo and dangerous 🙄 because humans are not naturally curious and wisdom is spooky and scary and we can't access it without a slave master micromanaging the way we learn things.

Education is a way to lift oneself out of poverty, but public school is not. Public school is designed to do the opposite. It is slave training with some math sprinkled in so the unwashed feel like they’re equal. ABA is grooming and abuse but so is the classroom. I said what I said.

I yell at my stupid broken body a lot but to still have the ability to hop up and gently do some rebounding or elliptical when I feel sad or squirrely is everything and I’m so grateful for it #dysautonomia #movementismedicine

I spent a year with a lawyer trying to remove behaviorism from my sons IEP. After our annual review yesterday, I started the application for private homeschool in my state. We’re taking the leap! #outschool #PDAparenting #education #autism

My mentor kept telling me to make video and not articles and I finally did it and my engagement is down. You guys hate my face.

Family mobbing is so strong against me that my son has a visceral, violent reaction to all female vocalists. If it isn't the specific genera of music his father likes but I don't, he is going to throw up if he hears it. Emotional abuse is real, and it doesn't end when you leave.

My whole living room just got smashed up because I dared listen to Etta James while my son was outside and he hates all of my music and all female vocalists and I miss singing to regulate my nervous system. Autism moms love to pretend high masking kids don’t melt down.

Cleaned up the glass, hugged out the meltdown, now I’m rolling out my yoga mat to try to get back to sleep, even though I want to eat all the comfort carbs. I may have finally learned that uncontrolled diabetes does not, in fact, help stress. 🤣
