Woops I forgot about Bluesky for a while lol

I am on vacation and the flight was rough as usual… puked a lot, had to ask for disability assistance again… this is my reward for my suffering 🥲

Ever since I learned that there are some people out there who watch movies and feel nothing afterwards … I haven’t been the same

No such thing as good guys in politics. I’m just hoping he finds his humanity again now that he doesn’t have control over other people’s lives anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

When you’re disabled you often have to make hard choices and abandon your dreams. But it’s ok! I am still able to make new ones that better align with my values.

It took a long time to realize that it wasn’t my “weakness” that made me quit, it was the toxicity of the environment. That industry was not healthy for me. I had to choose my wellbeing over my dream job.

It’s really affected my mental health and it’s something I bring up in therapy a lot. I always feel like a failure for not following my dreams, not pushing myself harder to reach those goals I had. But every day at work was just shit talking and judging.

Fun fact about me is after I finished film school I wanted to be a casting agent and work with actors I did a bunch of stuff but I burned out so fast (I didn’t know I was autistic and peopling all the time was killing me). Anyway I quit cause the industry is toxic as hell.

I started a cough and I have a sore throat and I’m leaving for my vacation in like 3 days if I get sick I swear to god…

Me after watching Terrifier 3 because I know that team had a good time making those practical special effects with the budget they finally deserved

Sorry this webtoon is taking up all of my free time and attention at the moment 🤤

I wasn’t listening to what they were saying cause I was too busy listening to my brain telling me to nod to look engaged 😅

Except autism isn’t developed after birth. And to suggest that autism is the result of trauma or bad parenting is just as bad as claiming it’s caused by vaccines. Autism is genetic & adults notice the traits usually after socializing is introduced. So daycare age or older. It’s not rocket science.

Yep I did one webinar/talk for an autism organization about my experiences solo traveling while autistic and I stopped doing them because I got a stalker and I didn’t feel safe 🥲

It’s a little weird that Canada didn’t bat an eye when Trump threatened minorities and DEI but he really pushed it with our precious tariffs, huh? Just comes to show, Canadians don’t really care until it’s about our economy. Only then, we’re coming out with pitch forks.

My other autistic friend and I in Japan trying so hard not to be visibly impressed by the bullet trains there but goddamn they were NEAT

I’m sorry what ☹️

One thing about me is that I could’ve been rich but my granddad had to be an asshole and steal my mom’s inheritance for several years. (He was a narcissist sociopath btw)

I work in a very corporate office btw so this is very scary but it’s important to me because I can’t claim to be an advocate and then not advocate for myself you know? I feel like… that’s the first step to advocating for others.

Finished my interview article and sent it over aahhhh
My job wanted me to talk about my experience with autism for an April 2nd newsletter that will be shared to all my colleagues.
My “coming aut” if you will.

Me planning my comic: wow writing is so easy!
Me actually writing the comic: you telling me I have to know what happens between point A and point B…. And everything in between that… and everything in between that…. And everything between that…. 😭

Aahhh I wanna info dumb you about my comic (work in progress) so bad cause it’s so much of that 🫣

I want to impress Astarion in Baldurs Gate 3 but I keep having to do hero shit and he’s just not into that I’m sorry baby I have to be a good person or it’ll kill me inside 😭

One more week until my week off! I’m going to an all inclusive for the first time with my sisters!

Also it completely dismisses the fact that it’s so dynamic for us. How can we judge who is “more autistic”? One autistic person who can do well at school but not know how to tie their shoes? Or Another autistic person who might be “normal” at home but have regular meltdowns in restaurants?

I shouldn’t be worrying about it with the job I have but even that doesn’t seem like enough! 🥲

As an autistic person my number one fear is having a major medical event and not noticing or not paying any mind to it for days and then it just rotting inside me…

You know what’s crazy I haven’t thought about this show in ages and then just last night I had a dream about Supernatural and then I open Bluesky and this is the first post in my feed what’s happening

Just got my rent increase notice… cried for 2 hours….

Anyways I’m blocking you now I don’t want to engage with people who want to cure people like me. Cure your fucking own selves first.
