Give us clarity, predictability and details wherever possible.
The world is a confusing and chaotic place, especially for #autistic people.
When you communicate with intention and our needs in mind, you are helping us shed one of the many layers of anxiety that weigh us down EVERY day.

Always good to be reminded of the need for clarity in speech and writing, removing ambiguity, which is important for both accuracy, and the mental health of others.
My partner and I have been discussing what we’re having for dinner at his parents’ house tonight and sometimes it’s really not hard to figure out which one of us is autistic
I do love his quick summary of us:
Him: "We'll have to wait and find out 🙂”
Me: "We'll have to wait and find out ☹️”
