#allistics — Public Fediverse posts

Can we please centre #autistic #self-advocates this month instead of parents of autistic children? I don’t want to see parents posting inspiro porn like filming #meltdowns without consent. Plus let’s also hear directly from #autisticadults about their first hand experiences with the support they received both now and growing up on how #allistics can do better.

Does anyone know of #dating or #hookup #apps that either have filters for or cater to #neurodivergent people, perhaps even to #ActuallyAutistic folks? I get overwhelmed having to address certain emotional neediness or opaque mating protocols of #allistics. It’s truly exhausting.

My usual reaction when a guy expects me to just conform to his social expectations is to ghost or block. I just don’t know how to do whatever it is they expect.

🧵2/2 So the plan went as expected. They were caught off guard because I wasn’t reading while they stared. They were equally confused when I had almost zero questions for them. Nah, I’ll take my time and write up a novel once I read the report. Save us all time and email the report BEFOREHAND.

Messing with #allistics and their rando expectations is sometimes real fun. My husband had a smirk the entire time. I’d warned him in advance.

Yea, parents can be #neurodifferent too! 🤣

@stevesilberman I don’t know that’s he’s elected to be an #autistic or #neurodivergent spokesperson either. While I dislike what’s happening at the company, I’m trying not to vilify him mostly because I think of how we’re treated by #allistics. I’d rather he get #support and be better #regulated. Dismissing his business decisions to being driven by his #autism seems to be a step too far. Maybe he’s just bad at #management? @actuallyautistic

#introduction:

You can call me Mal. I'm a #GenX / #Millennial cusp, a #LateBloomer #lesbian 🌈 and have recently discovered my #LateDiagnosedAutism. I also have #adhd, #CPTSD, and a handful of other #MentalHealth issues and I'm currently still trying to recover from burnout due to Covid and learn how to function in the real world again. Learning how to accommodate myself has been a life changing experience. My long distance girlfriend is also autistic and it has been so beneficial to have someone who truly understands as a support person. Other things of note are that I'm a #leftist #feminist and believe in #IntersectionalFeminism, always work to be actively #AntiRacist, and believe mutual aid and building community is the best and only way for us all to survive late stage capitalism.

My #SpecialInterests include talking about and researching topics like #psychology, #trauma, anti-capitalism, and the communication differences between #autistics and #allistics.

For fun I like to play #WorldOfWarcraft and read the lore books. I've been playing since Cataclysm came out and my favorite characters are #AnduinWrynn, #VarokSaurfang, #Illidan, and #KaelthasSunstrider. My favorite class to play is a Demon Hunter and my favorite expansion was Legion. I also love the #DragonAge games, specifically the second one, the show #GameOfThrones, and frequently lose large chunks of time playing #thesims4. I am also currently hyperfixating on Taylor Swift's new album even though I have never liked her music before 😂

I live in a very rural, very conservative area so I'm really hoping to find other people like me, specifically other #lesbians, who I can connect with. So if any of this resonates with you, let's be mutuals 🌈💗
