There’s a persistent myth that autistic people are asexual or not sexual humans, and it’s simply not true. Autistic people experience attraction, desire, love, and pleasure in diverse and valid ways. Some are asexual, most aren’t. All deserve accurate information, autonomy, and respect.

What’s the perfect gift for an autistic person on Valentines day? Here is my honest answer.

What are your thoughts?

Sometimes “nitpicky” is really just a nervous system asking for clarity. Precision = safety, not attitude.

Let’s look at a few more examples of how an autistic person might show you that they care about you. Do you see yourself or a loved one in any of these? Would you add anything?

Gaslighting - The practice of psychologically manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity, memory, or powers of reasoning.

What’s happening is not okay. You know this. I know this. The world knows this.

Stop letting them gaslight you.

This administration is gaslighting you. Gaslighting their supporters.

And here’s the thing - almost every emotionally abusive relationship where gaslighting is present, people eventually come around.

It’s time. What’s happening is not okay.

Co-regulation doesn’t mean fixing. Many times, it simply means being with.

In moments of overwhelm, presence, calm tone, and honest reassurance help the nervous system feel safe enough to settle. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can offer isn’t a solution, its just connection.

The more you know, the more you can shift your perspective.

I often have discussions about this in my clinical work. I encourage parents to include an accommodation on a 504 or IEP that allows for the student to ask unlimited questions to gain clarity on assignments or information being taught in order to overcome this challenge.

#504

Responding to the dozens of comments I get from the people irritated that neurodivergent people post so much about…well…neurodivergent stuff.

If you’re seeing our content so much in your algorithm, I encourage you to reflect on that. Why are you seeing this content? Are you so obsessed with disliking neurodivergent creators that it’s all you search for? Or does something about it resonate with you?

Your algorithm isn’t out to feed you content that you hate. That’s not how social media makes money.

Thoughts?

I’m fully prepared. Plenty of food, water, firewood, batteries, etc. and the anxiety from just waiting on it to freaking get here is driving me nuts.

But shout out to all the weather folks out there just trying their hardest to give us their best guesses.

What’s a social rule that makes absolutely no sense to you? Especially one you’ve learned in adulthood, after doing things differently your whole life?

And thanks to for commenting on a previous post with this idea!
