Aut2Ask (The Autism Community) | Substack We’re building community around honesty: the messy, curious process of figuring out how to exist in a world that wasn’t 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.

"I love what the AutAsk community has done for me!
The sense of connection that I feel as an AuDHD person with others because of this group has really helped me to open up and thrive in a way that I never thought was possible :)"

The reason it is behind a paywall is not to be exclusionary but to keep this space safe! No trolls, or people who are not aligned with our community.

An excerpt from our piece β€œand still, you carried on.”

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

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

β€˜Moral injury’ 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 isn’t dysfunction, it’s 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.

Read this if:

You feel disconnected, invisible, or chronically misunderstood.

If you’re longing for something different.

Longing to exhale in relief and finally say: β€œI belong here.”

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.
