Support That Requires Self-Erasure Is Not Support How belonging to ourselves can save us

Support that requires self-erasure is not support, it's managed survival.

You can't force alignment in places that already regard you as "other".

But you can align yourself with something deeper and truer to your needs.

An Autistic Guide to Meditation Finding clarity through the fog of meditation discourse and arriving at your meditation practice

I will be posting another substack in the way autistic liberation soon, but for now I wanted to share this one again in case you missed it.

Please note: this is not therapy or crisis care, just presence.

If this resonates, feel free to reach out through DMs any time and I can send you the link to a Signal chat.

This space is especially attuned to autistic and LGBTQ+ experiences, though all are welcome.

This is a pressure-free, non-judgmental space for listening, letting things be said out loud, friendly chats, and sharing ideas.

Communication is made on the Signal app and is text only.

Responses are not scheduled. Pauses are natural and varied.

I am offering a free, anonymous 1:1 texting space to anyone inside or outside of the autistic community dealing with grief, trauma, loneliness, etc.

You are not alone, and I will do my best to be a witness to whatever you're carrying.

“Functioning” is never a neutral word.

It always means “how little support can we give you before you break?”

We are never meant to survive that metric.

It all about what we can produce for others.
