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 β€œdefiance.”

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.

The Israeli Government and the majority of its elected officials want to ban Progressive Jews from Judaism’s holiest site.

They seek to imprison Reform, Liberal, Renewal, Masorti, and Reconstructionist Jews for praying at the Western Wall.

Connection without safety is performance.

And we got very good at performing safety.

We could make other people comfortable.

We could apologise before anyone asked.

But no one taught us how to exist without scanning.

No one taught us how to sit in a room without calculating.
