Perri

I just moved a month ago and I’m coming to terms with the fact that I’m physically disabled. I always thought the stuff my body was doing was just stuff everyone’s did. My roommates informed me that definitely was not the case. I always thought I was just mentally disabled. Unfortunately I was wrong

Being a person who’s autism is visible within 5 minutes of meeting me and sometimes even at a glance to non autistic people, I don’t really feel like autism is always an invisible disability.

I finally deleted twitter a few weeks ago finally and I’m not missing it at all

Definitely! I wish I could donate but I’m disqualified because I’m on Prep. :( blood and plasma donations save lives!

Definitely. Sending you positive energy ! I hope she’ll figure it out and start being more on time

Yeah. Both of you could get in huge trouble if you signed her time sheet for hours she never worked. Many other reasons of course, but that isn’t something to mess around with. I hope you can get it resolved 💚

That’s awesome!!

I’m a puppy! Cause that’s whets in my soul. (+ for horny reasons too)

Today I am gay and evil *bites you*

I got my ass best soo good!! I was in sub space and everything. I hope it bruises pretty tomorrow 🥹🥹🥺🥺

It frustrates me when people say to read the room. I’m fucking autistic and the only room I can read is an empty one

It turns out the app is actually great if you follow more than 100 people who mostly don’t post. I think if I keep following more people and getting a better feed it might be Twitters nail in the coffin.

Who knew you needed to follow people to have a good social media experience/lh/s

every time i question my decision to leave the US, i’m reminded that i actually had no other choice because as a trans Black immigrant the chances of being detained by ICE were too high.

in fact it’s my duty to make this work because giving up is not an option either.

Everyone likes to say they want to support disabled and neurodiverse people until it comes to actually listening to us. When we tell you what to do to increase accessibility (because more accessibility benefits everyone) you all placate us and then do whatever the hell you want anyway. #disabled

This is hard for us but none could understand as Lgbtq minorities from Ugandan then Kenya upto here South Sudan we move together looking for survival,you can imagine how hard it is moving with kids ,our children have grown up in a no gain zone and uneducated 😢 on addition to rampant hunger in life

Very autistic coded/pos

Apparently a symptom I thought was just mental illness might be seizures??? Anyway I was referred to neurology.

They claimed it was a hipaa violation of the other patients because it has a camera. But I think they just didn’t want to deal with it

Tw psych abuse

I’m autistic and use a speech device. While institutionalized for mental health they took my speech device from me and would only give it back during my nursing evaluations. If they actually wanted people to get better instead of forced compliance they would never have done that

no one should ever be incarcerated (yes, involuntary commitment counts) for a MH crisis, psychiatric violence overwhelmingly affects Black people, and every single person who claims anti racism, anti police violence, prison abolition, HAS to join us in psych abolition. fuck this bullshit

And now that I’ve also developed severe mental illness they use that to make me look crazy and them look like the good guys for taking care of their adult child with disabilities. (While still ignoring my actual needs)

Abuse

Definitely. Even before DX me being autistic was a huge point of contention in our family. There were days where my mom would sit watching me do homework until I cried. I was made fun of for covering my ears. My interests were shamed and I never felt safe sharing my feelings or interests

I don’t know. I think so. I used to believe they were great parents when I was young because I didn’t know that level of emotional control and coercion wasn’t normal.

I’m the only one diagnosed. I suspect my dad is autistic too though because of his intense interests and communication difficulties. But some of the communication problems come from him being HoH and unwilling to accommodate himself in any way (no captions, hearing aids, writing)

Ableism
.

Yeah they know. My mom once said she regrets getting me diagnosed because she thought I could do way more before and that I was giving up on myself. But overall it didn’t change the structure the relationship other than possibly giving my parents more ammo.

Tw emotional abuse
.

It’s really hard and complicated. I’m closest to my middle brother. But my parents can be very coercive and don’t take my disability needs seriously and they can get mad at me for showing autistic traits.

My name is Perri (he/him) and my family of origin is super overwhelming and stressful (even abusive) and I still live with them unfortunately.

I’m a trans autistic AAC user. Unfortunately my posting is lacking because I don’t always know what to say

Maybe that’s just what people look like in Oregon? Idk

Wait they don’t know what it means?! And also you look Queer Af every time I have the good fortune to see your face. I don’t understand how anyone could think you’re cishet
