The Autistic Coach | Matthew (he/they)

Call me a shmuck, but disability influencers who promote productivity and hustle culture are throwing the rest of us under the bus

I’ve lived under fire, nonstop gunfire, bombs, and air raids.

Constant fear.

It left me with my PTSD.

Something impotent needs to be said…

I remember how isolating it felt when people told me “just isolate” - “try to minimise stimuli” - “I’m with you”

As if those are options in war…

I have nothing but love and care for all my autistic comrades living under constant blaring of sirens, melting down non stop, with no end in sight.

Jewish Disability Inclusion Seminars & Trainings — The Autistic Rabbi(nical Student) This two-part disability and neurodiversity training for rabbis, cantors, rabbinical students, Jewish professionals, and synagogue board members examines how disability, neurodivergence, and ableism shape synagogue culture. In Session 1, participants receive practical education on disability and neu

Are you a rabbi, cantor, or other Jewish community leader?

Do you want to learn about what inclusion looks like from an actual autistic person in the community?

Sure I have superpowers.

Not being able to leave my bed for a week when the sound of my own sneezing causes me to shutdown.

Not being able to communicate with the majority of people I meet.

Of not knowing when to has the toilet.

Of being unable to use public transport.

Those kind.

I understand that part - and thank you for apologising. It shows how embedded in the language prejudice against autistic people is.

this is the "casual" autistiphobia and ableism we are dealing with.

it it not possible to put down the Right without using autistic people as a punching bag?

ffs

How many members of your community were missing from Purim this year?

Autistic relationships are different.

That's why every piece of advice and most content out there is totally irrelevant for us.

“That’s how we do things” isn’t the flex you think it is when you deny disability accommodations and access.

Autistic humans are always expected to “argue their case” for their accommodations.

We aren’t believed from the start.

And after all that effort, most often they’re denied anyway.

It’s hard not to feel defeated.

But we aren’t.

We continue on.

We have to.

i'm sick of hearing that autistic people "deserve to live."

as if that's the fucking standard

i gently recommended this workshop to my mom (a self-identified progressive) & she started asking me invasive questions & dismissing my carefully expressed boundaries. this is how the conversation ended. this is the shit we autistic & trans people deal with every day from supposed "allies."

do you want to support your fellow autistic comrades in a professional capacity?

our next intake begins in May

Independence is treated as the gold standard of autistic adulthood.

But independence is mostly a myth.

Everyone who is “independent” is supported by someone, something, or a structure that makes it possible.

Money.

Health.

Family.

Technology.

Invisible labour.

And it’s not nearly enough.

God speed.

It gets easier my friends

I’m too regularised to saying literally anything about disabled experience only to be told that the tone is wrong.

Everything can be viewed as inflammatory or a hindrance to meaningful dialogue.

I ask people to listen to what I mean in context, not sound bites. I’m not a sound bite person.

I expect misunderstanding from random people on the internet, but not from those who engage in my content regularly.

No need to be reminded that there isn’t a war, it’s something that’s said by me on an almost daily basis. I’m very confused by your comment.
