'Self dx does not get you closer to treatment'

I'm gonna well actualling this. It might not get you closer to meds or expensive treatment or aid.

But you can receive a lot of community support. And often this support is more helpful than anything medical professions offer.

Yesterday I wrote for the first time in a very long time and it felt so good!

I just want more sitcoms where the autistic coded character isn’t mocked for their autistic characteristics.

I find it repulsive when autistic charities put up posters for autistic social groups that state in the description:

For high functioning autistic adults over 18 with no learning disabilities.

⚠️Please do NOT send money to the American Red Cross!!!⚠️

If you have family & friends in Haiti, send money directly to them.

I will post a list of trusted organizations in this thread if you'd like to help the people of Haiti.

Okay, y'all

Needing serious help for a Black trans autistic community member

We need atleast $1,370 CAD so they can pay rent; more would help with food.

Thank you in advance!

I recently discovered that antiques auctions are done live online and now I am broke and surrounded by antiques I will never actually use but like to look at.

We are often asked 'But does ABA 'work'?

Oh it works, it smashes your autistic childs esteem & moulds them to mimic neurotypical behaviour whilst in constant fight or flight.

PTSD for life & no awareness of rights or autonomy, susceptible to grooming.

Is that what you want?
