AutisticWave,

@BartV @actuallyautistic

Bart, I thank you for the interest in reading my article! I use Medium to modestly fund my advocacy, and that means many articles are behind the paywall. I'm planning to launch several videos on the YouTube channel I've recently created and some of those videos will be complete illustrations of how i stay organized and productive, including the methods I've outlined in the article. Thanks for understanding

Research has been uncovering a strong family connection in both BAP and ASD. Some family members might exhibit milder versions of the diagnosed individual’s traits, creating a spectrum within the spectrum. It’s like flavors of the same story:

  • "But you're establishing eye contact with me; how can you be autistic?"

You'd be surprised what compensatory mechanisms developed in sophisticated ways throughout those years I went undiagnosed can do.

  • "Don't worry, we're all on the spectrum nowadays."

AutisticWave,

@jacquiharper @actuallyautistic phenomenal indeed

AutisticWave,

@hosford42 @actuallyautistic indeed, positive ignorance is toiling to deal with

AutisticWave, to Autism

While the phrase "we're all on the spectrum" may be well-intentioned, it is potentially harmful to us, autistics.

Here's how: https://link.medium.com/zjV6w9mgFFb

DEI with meritocracy at its kernel has several advantages:

  • Enhanced performance
  • Fair opportunity.
  • Bias reduction.
  • Cultivating diversity of thought.

"I’m autistic," I say. A brief pause ensues, a furrowed brow from what I can see from the mirror, and then an unexpectedly humorous response: "Is that like a professional auto driver?"

Just had my results session for my ASD assessment, and I've officially been diagnosed with ASD now. I guess that's exciting? The psychologist kept asking if I needed time to process it, and stuff like that, and not really? Am I supposed to? I had kind of come to terms with it over the past couple months, so it wasn't really news to me. I guess more than anything it's affirming to hear it from a professional?

AutisticWave,

@PurpleStephyr @actuallyautistic You'll have a lifetime to process it, no less than the time it would take you to process your eye color

AutisticWave, to Autism

Thoughts based on Michelle Garnett and Tony Attwood's article on "Autistic Flourishing" and how we, autistic adults, can thrive in this life without changing who we are.
