I’m J and I was diagnosed with Autism & ADHD at 45. My partner and I created The Neuro Duo to speak honestly about what it’s like to be late diagnosed and navigating life through a new lens. If you’re neurodivergent, or tho k you might be, we hope this gives you something real to relate to #TheNeuroDuo #AuDHD #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergentvoices #adhdinadults #autism #autismawareness #ADHD #actuallyautistic #neurodivergentjourney #neurospicy #ADHDcouple #unmaskingautism #neurodivergent

Une traduction française du livre #UnmaskingAutism de #DevonPrice est en cours dans le cadre d'un projet collectif communautaire (et, il me semble, bien avancé).

My therapist told me to think about the question:

"What are the areas that make me, me? Who am I?"

I'm currently reading "Unmasking Autism" by Dr Devon Price. Quote of the day:
> Bobbi, an Autistic nonbinary person in their mid-thirties, says, "I wasn't raised or 'socialized' as an Autistic girl. I was raised as a weird kid, and a gender failure."

Fucking mood, Bobbi, mood. :blobcat_thisisfine: :blobcatnotlikethisgoogly:

Started reading #UnmaskingAutism today after @boekenwuurm recommended it to me and I believe I also remember @PurpleStephyr talking positively about it (?).

So far I’ve completed the first chapter and my initial thoughts are these:

I still don’t really see that I’ve ever really masked my #autism. I HEAVILY masked my #GenderDysphoria, but I still lean towards me having unmasked autism being the reason why I always was so extremely unpopular.

I’m not saying that there aren’t people who are (even heavily) disabled because they are autistic, but I still reject the label for myself and elect to consider most #neurotypical who make decisions based on gut feelings rather than rational reasoning as much more disabled than me, because their behavior is inexcusably irrational.

I’m not a fan of the capitalization of „#autistic“, because it violates regular Grammar and is slightly confusing due to how it draws attention on the spelling rather than the content of the text.

That said, it seems interesting for now.

@actuallyautistic Time to dive-in and read #devonprice's #unmaskingautism for a second time. For me it was a paradigm shift that helped me realize that I am #actuallyautistic.

#substack is problematic but #DevonPrice, author of the book #UnmaskingAutism has a new article up today about #selfidentification #selfrealization #selfdiagnosis #selfdx

Self-Identification is the Future of Autism Assessment

Finishing up #UnmaskingAutism. It's really weird to hear #autism be discussed blatantly as a #disability. Obviously this shock is due to my privilege as having pretty low-support needs. Still, it's an odd experience to live for 30+ years with something that causes challenges without knowing or being able to identify as such. I struggle a lot with the definition of gaslighting, but I felt gaslit for decades about being somehow different.

I honestly feel like I need to relisten to the entire audiobook, and take notes on what I find helpful, awkward or uncomfortable, and preachy or somehow hard to swallow.

#devonprice #unmaskingautism #autism #actuallyautistic

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Me being high masking, able to communicate in a way allistics understand, a people pleaser, and scoring high on intelligence tests doesn't make me high functioning and my support needs low. It just means I'm suffering in silence. The way they quantity functioning is so weird to me, and probably based on how much of a nuisance I'm for other people, not my needs.

something I read in #UnmaskingAutism that I loved. you go through your contacts, & you put a strawberry emoji next to people who always make you feel good when you talk to them. then you put a sprout next to people who help you learn & grow. some people will have both. then you make sure you reply to those people first, you add them to your favorites & you always say yes to them when they ask you to hang out. they get priority in your life. such a cute shorthand for remembering who to focus on

@corvineTragedy @actuallyautistic self dx is completely valid, most adults who don't fit the stereotype won't get a fair assessment, plus finding a good doctor who's educated about #AutisticAdults is prohibitively expensive & they're incredibly rare. my advice is - read #UnmaskingAutism & join the Facebook group Surprise! You're Autistic! ❤️ generally, people who are not autistic don't think they are & even if you're not, learning about autistic people helps everyone

After a few months of emotional labour i finally finished rating Unmasking Autism by Dr. Devon Price.

My early identification with the chicks of parasitic birds was, in retrospect a red flag that I was dealing with #AuDHD and could not figure out how everyone seemed to fit in and wondering if I was maybe an interloper who actually did have to hide my true self and remain undetected and safe. Until I could make sense of the world and myself enough to survive it safely #UnMaskingAutism https://youtube.com/watch?v=9TZQDA2yabg&feature=share

#StarTrek has always been so #HealingAnxiety to me… and like rewatching #StarTrekLowerDecksS01 is reinforcing the #HealingPTSD energy I need rn #AuDHD #UnMaskingAutism #dogTax
