The Articulate Autistic

Yep

Same, and I have no idea! Maybe it’s because the audiobook is concentrated in our ears with headphones, so our brains don’t get confused my background noise? And I’ve only ever been able to do it 1.25 speed, 1.5 speed is impressive

@dear-hearted Team "I can hear the near silent hum of electrical appliances and the bubbles fizzing in the can of soda on the coffee table, but can't watch tv without subtitles and processes conversation at 1/4 speed"

This describes me to a T!

LOL! Why is this true, though?

Felt this in my soul. I’ve made grievous errors in the past due to my racial obliviousness, and I’ve hurt a lot of people, too. I’ve been learning more about Black culture for 6 years now and follow Black creators, but I rarely comment. I’m still unsure if what I say will come across rude or racist

🙌

my_friend_mark I don't know which neurodivergent needs to hear this, but you can use the bathroom before finishing the task. You don't have to earn the right to pee.

Wait...what?? LOL!

Brain: Don't Forget. Me: Forget What? Brain: Forget What? Purple and blue space background

"Autism is not an excuse for bad behavior"

This is true. It isn't.

Because autism doesn't cause bad behavior. It causes *autistic* behavior.

ICE dragged me from my car after I told them I’m autistic. Exclusive Details: Aliya Rahman speaks to Eric Garcia about her ordeals — on the streets of Minneapolis, in a grim ICE detention center where she was mocked over her condition and through the public t...

Heartstopping @ericmgarcia.bsky.social interview with Minneapolis detainee Aliya Rahman, an #autistic woman with a traumatic brain injury.

Gets to the heart of how so many people here get labeled 'agitator' or 'domestic terrorist' for something as benign as turning onto the wrong street.

Hard same. It’s why I titled my first book, “What Did I Do Wrong?” They’d say I was doing something wrong but never explained because they thought I already knew!

“Just another chore to dissociate through”. You put into words how I’ve always felt about cooking

They’re gonna f*ck with the midterms, aren’t they?

🤣 Perfect

This has to be right up with one of America’s darkest time. ICE KILLING Americans, arresting honest hard working immigrants, similar to the same white immigrants arresting them.
DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE AND EVIL. America cannot survive as a nation with this kind of leadership.
