Apparently Amish people don’t get autism. Please understand the structure and certainty of their lives. Understand the benefit that brings for autistic people. Also understand the 90% heritability that underpins autism

"Daily Mail: Warning that autism may be being over-diagnosed in parts of country amid surge in celebrities revealing their own battle with disorder" Sometimes I wonder how they even come up with this nonsense. If anything, autism is still underdiagnosed

I was just on a call with my friend (who also has ADHD) and they said, "I keep spending all of my energy on creating systems for doing things instead of actually doing the things. I'm tired." And if that's not the most relatable ADHD vibe, I don't know what is.

"Most people associate #ADHD with problems with focusing and #hyperactivity, and while those are certainly part of the condition, there are many other more subtle aspects to it that do not gain the recognition they deserve..." #Memory differentbrains.org/adhd-agi…

Ok, I know I often have issues just getting up and starting a task that will only take me 5 minutes in the end. But WHY is that? What happens in my brain? This topic is intricate and hard to explain in simple terms - I gave it my best shot, so please excuse the masses of text!

There's actually research on this! People who are the least knowledgeable about autism overestimate their knowledge the most. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

"Dear neurodivergent people, I want you to know that you were never the failure. You were let down by the systems around you. Sincerely, an autistic person who is finding freedom in forgiving herself for the things she blamed herself for." Saw this from @ItsEmilyKaty and had to share. We hope it eases any shame you might be holding.

Some Autists only feel whole and complete when submerged in water … Some feel an ineffable wrongness when water touches their skin … Believe it or not … some experience both of these phenomena …
