Aut2Ask (The Autism Community) | Substack
Weβre building community around honesty: the messy, curious process of figuring out how to exist in a world that wasnβt designed for us.
We're building community for autistics: figuring out how to exist in a world that wasn't designed for us.
Our Substack is where those conversations live and grow: stories, research breakdowns, reflections, and community updates from people who actually get it.

An excerpt from our piece βand still, you carried on.β
You wake up to a world that rewards violence more than conscience.
You eat your eggs as a baby starves to death.
You drop ice into your water and think of your missing neighbors....
for whom ice means something else entirely.
You go to work
You read attachment files as you watch democracy fade, headlines vanish, evidence disappear... and you think how easy it could be to delete files when you're the one in power..
Your heart breaks...and still, you clock in for another day
βMoral injuryβ happens when you watch injustice unfold in real time, knowing what could be done....and seeing those with power choose not to do it.
Your distress isnβt dysfunction, itβs clarity.

Isolation isn't imaginary, it's engineered.
If you've ever felt invisible, excluded, or like you didn't belong you're not alone.
You're not "too much." You are navigating systems that gave you too little.

Forced isolation wasn't an accident. It was policy.
For disabled and neurodivergent people, being cut off from community has never been just a personal misfortune. It's been systemic, deliberate, and deeply rooted in historical practices of segregation, institutionalization, and erasure.
Neurodivergent people today still face the consequences of systems built to isolate and those systems didn't disappear. They evolved.
Working on Saturdayβs piece about isolation and the importance of neurodivergent communities.
βIsolation isnβt just loneliness - itβs a symptom of systemic harm. β
