A need unmet doesn’t disappear.

It converts into irritability - shutdown - resentment - rumination - meltdowns - burnout.

If we don’t honour our needs, they will express themselves anyway.

Getting our needs met doesn’t mean becoming less autistic.

It means stopping the constant negotiation with systems that require self-betrayal to function in an ableist society.

We don’t become more worthy by needing less.

We become safer by being honest about what we need.

A life that requires constant self-erasure to maintain “independence” isn’t a free life.

It’s a fragile one.

Autistic adults are shamed for needing support in ways that are simply more visible.

Needing help doesn’t make us less capable.

It means our needs aren’t being outsourced or hidden.

In my work, I come back to this again and again — disability isn’t a personal deficit - but a relational truth.

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.

Arrested by ICE.
Detained by ICE.
Injured by ICE.

Everything that makes autistic woman happy terrible for her gut Every single thing an autistic woman loves is turning her gut microbiome into a Mad Max-style wasteland, it has been reported. Tricia Squire, 37, allegedly loves spicy food, reclining after dinner…

Every single thing an autistic woman loves is turning her gut microbiome into a Mad Max-style wasteland, it has been reported.

Non disabled people love taking all the space that’s reserved for disabled people.

That isn’t new.

What’s shocking is how those in charge of ensuring it stays reserved for us don’t do anything to stop it and not allow the abuse to happen.

Happening tomorrow!

Getting our needs met doesn’t mean becoming less autistic.

It means stopping the constant negotiation with systems that require self-betrayal to function in an ableist society.

PDA isn’t about “defiance.”

It’s about a nervous system that experiences loss of autonomy as threat.

If every demand feels like your agency is being taken away, your body will fight.

It’s got nothing to do with manipulation - it’s all about survival.

Autistic, very niche request.

If any of my followers have schnauzers, can you please reply here w/ pictures. No reason other than the fact I love them. Thank you. 🙏🏼
