One day, your brain will say “I feel better! I don’t even need these meds!” And it’s very important that you do not listen 😂

Why we need research about autism and ageing - Cos Michael, 2016

"We know that autistic people have sensory differences, but we know nothing about how these are influenced by ageing. Why not? Autistics often live with high stress & anxiety—which can intensify some mental & physical health conditions." @cosmichael.bsky.social:

✅ What autism is:

- a processing difference
- a unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world
- a disability (for many, but not all)

❌ What autism is not:

- a mental illness
- a disease
- an excuse

Understanding autism means recognizing neurodiversity - not pathologising it ❤️

When you buy a new phone, do you just transfer everything you can over from your old phone or do you like a fresh start and install all apps again etc?

One of the sequelae to covid is MCAS, and one of the big symptoms of that is acquiring exciting new allergic reactions to random things.

You can suddenly behave allergic to deodorant, soap, wheat, chocolate, garlic, milk, cheese (and anything what contains histamines, such as leftovers), etc.

Undiagnosed autism is everyone thinking you're a complete weirdo

Diagnosed autism is telling people you're autistic and everyone being confused because you look "completely normal"
