Scheduled posts, what are they? When I have something to say, I say it straight away.

@ausomecharlie.bsky.social’s journey shows how leaning into strengths can fuel success and fulfillment. It’s not about changing who we are but thriving as we are. Tune into Focus on WHY podcast episode 449 Keys to Self-Compassion with Charlie Hart to hear how.

New blog in collaboration with @stimpunks.org We need to untangle ourselves from the sticky web of neuronormative ideals. We need to create new spaces of opportunity. When schools embrace neurodiversity, everyone benefits. Some ideas below. autisticrealms.com/obstacles-in...

Weird Pride Day 2025 is just around the corner! Which is to say, it's on the 4th of March, and today is the 14th of February. We're not exactly sure how time works, there may or may not be a corner involved. weirdpride.day/wpd2025

It’s so disingenuous that The Telegraph is asking what radicalised Elon Musk. TRANSPHOBIA did! His child came out as trans and he flipped. The same transphobia The Telegraph has been relentlessly pushing for YEARS! @rolandoliphant.bsky.social @jamestitcomb.bsky.social @kierankelly20.bsky.social

I've been very quiet today because my lovely husband bought me an amazing present and I've been playing it for hours. It's a 6 string bass (like a Fender VI), hardly played, mint condition, in a lovely metallic purple. It sounds beautiful 🥰

Possibly the best AAC post of all time: If you or your autistic person use AAC [alternative communication], don't forget to enable descriptions of personal boundaries—because everyone should be able to say "stop" and "F*** off". From Mel Baggs, RIP: ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/c...

Karen Hoyland, 42, who tweets under the name “AutismMummy42”, said: “I’m doing everything I can to make sure the neurological condition that forms the basis of my son’s personality doesn’t become his whole personality.”

Speak up for trans people every single day, especially to your shithead friends and relatives and especially when it’s awkward. Make it your business to make it awkward.

Sarah Harrow, 37, who only leaves home to go to the GP or take out the recycling, has built her entire brand around being a tortured but beloved artist who occasionally graces the public with rare bin-based sightings.

Exactly And it’s horrific #TransSurvival #TransRightsAREHumanRights

I personally think that the original definition by Kassiane was the most comprehensive take on neurodivergence. From what I read of their writing, it covers neurological conditions too, which is logical. Imho also various dementias belong to this umbrella. Well worth attending this.

What is ‘Acquired Neurodivergence?’ The discussion on acquired neurodivergence, as explained by Charlie Hart, emphasises the inclusion of mental health conditions under the neurodivergent umbrella, aligning with Kassiane Asasumasu's original definitions. The aim is to raise awareness about…

What do I mean by Acquired Neurodivergence? Watch this video, in which I attempt to pronounce Kassiane Asasumasu, and attempt to explain what I mean. #NCW2025 #Neurodiversity #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek2025 #AcquiredNeurodivergence youtu.be/5CgwqmVtPQA

If I call somebody 'autistic as f*ck' that is a compliment, not an insult or accusation. I love you not DESPITE you being autistic, but BECAUSE you are autistic. ESPECIALLY if you are queer as well. Autistic LGBTQIA+ people are my favourite people. I love my family, they are so autistic and gay!

Have you watched or listened to the February episode of NeuroWomen Natter with me and Toni Horn yet? We tackle the tricky topic of neurodivergent love, infatuation, controlling relationships, and finally relatively happy ever afters. #Neurodivergent #Neurodiversity #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #AuDHD

I have been overwhelmed recently, yet making little progress with personal and career goals. Therefore I have withdrawn from unpaid work including Weird Pride Day, AIM Rainbow, ProudHR and holding back on giving strangers free advice. None of this sits well with me, as a recovering people pleaser!

How my boyfriend when I was 19 to 23 identified all my autistic traits... >20 years before I was identified autistic. Warning: Contains heavy sarcasm #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #AuDHD #Neurodiversity #Neurodivergent Captioned 58 second clip from ADHD: The Experience 4 youtube.com/shorts/Oo4Sm...

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

Last week CRAE got a sneak peak for The Stimming Pool. Zahra's thoughts: Co-created by Neurocultures Collective, it moves nonlinearly on its terms. So layered and complex it needs a rewatch. Definitely go in calm, expect nothing, just take it in. youtu.be/cmGDGA8-JNw...

There is never a time to nót celebrate Audre Lorde 💜 #MeerMooieDingen

Neurodivergent is a word that applies to any brain that can not comfortably perform neuronormative standards. Gatekeeping mental health from that definition is sanism. Acquired neurodivergence is real. #MentalHealth #ActuallyAutistic #neurodiversity #neurodivergence #AcquiredNeurodivergence

Episode 5 of NeuroWomen Natter is now live on YouTube and Spotify! Toni and I chat about crushes, infatuation, toxic relationships, and making neurodiverse marriages work. 31 minutes with subtitles. #Neurodivergent #Neurodiversity #NeurodivergentLove #ActuallyAutistic youtu.be/RLIRP522-k0?...
