Gonna keep sharing this because all those arguing in favour of this method are willing to use largely untested means of normalising Autistic children while assuming a lot of incorrect things about my life experiences. emergentdivergence.com/2025/02/19/w... #ActuallyAutistic #autism #neurodiversity

Why do we value people based on their addiction? In all of the pictures, I'm still David. I have the same potential. You see an addict on the street and say I'm not "one of those addicts" I hear that would have treated me poorly. #ActuallyAutistic #Recovery #MentalHealth #neurodivergent

Lots of Deleuzean thoughts and concepts seem to relate really well into Neuroqueer theory and the Autistic Rhizome. Fun discussions with @emergentdivergence.com and @stimpunks.org over the past few years - ongoing and spinning out rhizomatically! More here: autisticrealms.com/caverns-plea...

Seeing as my latest article was quite well received on here, I thought people might be interested in this piece that arose from mine and @autisticrealms.bsky.social love of Deluze & Guattari. emergentdivergence.com/2023/04/30/r... #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticRhizome #neuroqueering #NeuroqueerTheory

Oh this is SUCH a good article! It's put into words the complex feelings I've had with trying to embrace an authentic autistic identity while still having uncomfortable feelings about the word "autistic" itself due to its roots in pathologizing our neurotype. Thank you for this 😊

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

For some reason, the people who understand neurodivergence the least are the ones who are constantly offering awful advice to me. What awful advice have you been given? #ActuallyAutistic #autism #ADHD #MentalHealth #neurodiversity

I sometimes think that when we talk about "Autistic experience" we forget that it encompasses all experience. If you're Autistic, all other experiences are felt Autistically. On the flip side, all Autistic experiences are felt through the lens of other perceptions of who we are. #ActuallyAutistic

Fear does not make us weak. It is completely reasonable to be afraid right now, given the state of the world. It would be far more of a weakness to see the cruelty at play currently and be okay with it. Fear is a logical response to darkness.

It boggles my mind that medicine spends so much time highlighting how different Autistic people are, and yet fails to recognise that our experience of things like pain are different. #ActuallyAutistic #autism #SensoryProcessing #Healthcare #Neurodiversity

I don't call myself clean because I do not believe I was unclean when using. I am in recovery, I am sober. Calling me clean implies a moral failing in my suffering. #ActuallyAutistic #autism #ADHD #MentalHealth #Recovery
