And when the world keeps telling you your patterns are wrong, you learn to distrust your own perception.

That’s the real violence.

Autsitic humans aren’t “too sensitive.”

We’re noticing things others never had to notice.

The lights - the tones of voice - the pauses before someone answers - the shifts in someone’s face.

Autistic survival is pattern recognition.

Come learn with me this April!

Unironically told that inclusion means letting autistic kids hand out Siddurs once a month.

spot on

An autistic meltdown isn’t a failure.

It’s your nervous system finally telling the truth.

For hours - days - sometimes for years.

You kept going.

You kept performing.

And then your body says, "that's enough"

Meltdowns aren’t the problem - they're telling you something crucial.

From Neuroqueer Rhetoric to Neurocommunism: Ontology, Praxis, and New Forms of Life Some thinking I have been doing about 'Neurocommunism'

My first substack post is live!

‘Neurocommunism refers to a political ontology in which forms of collective life are organised around neuroqueer sensory, communicative and relational practices rather than normative capitalist productivity and communicability’.

You’re not broken cos of your brain my friends

If you’re broken, it’s because people broke you down.

100%

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.

The aggression and sneer that some people speak to disabled people with is downright shocking

I have spent the better part of a decade very publicly stating how I’ve rarely personally faced antisemitism in France.

Sadly, I cannot say that anymore.

He added that Jews were dividing Arab and European societies, which are naturally friends.

He concluded by saying that all Jews should "go home."

No one reacted. Despite him screaming this at the top of his lungs for 5 stops.

Meanwhile, I was just trying to go eat lunch and enjoy the day.

The joys of riding the Paris Métro while looking Jewish.

A man approached me, claiming that Jews have and are continuing to destroy Europe and the Middle East.

He said that Hitler was a great man, a proud European, and a friend of the Middle East.

Ou le pays

Il a ajouté que les Juifs divisaient les sociétés arabe et européenne, qui sont naturellement amies.

Il a conclu en affirmant que tous les Juifs devraient « rentrer chez eux ».

Personne n'a réagi.

Pendant ce temps, j'essayais simplement de déjeuner.

Ligne 4.

Un homme m'a interpellé en affirmant que les Juifs avaient détruit l'Europe et le Moyen-Orient.

Il a déclaré qu'Hitler était un grand homme, un Européen fier et un ami du Moyen-Orient.

Thanks for answering!

Do you often voice this need? Or is your environment not so open to this ?

Toxic positivity is a form of internalized ableism

naming difficulties and challenges as disabled people isn't ableist or "negative" or "victim politics"

it's reality and it's OK to give that a voice

It's more than OK - it's essential

we can be positive and love ourselves AND speak our truth

For my disabled comrades who work - what do you wish your manager and team knew?

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.

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