Food aversions aren't just "I don't like this food."
It's "I hate this food! I will always hate this food! Nothing you do to it will ever make me like this food!"
If an autistic person says they hate a food I assure you they HATE that food.

Being part of the autistic community has helped me, and so many others realize that we're not alone. We're in this together, so let's support each other.

Don't forget to tell your loved ones that they're worth your time and effort. It's surprising how many people have never heard this.

Non-speaking communication is valid!

Look, I get it, raising kids is incredibly difficult, and tiring, but that doesn't mean you have a monopoly on exhaustion.
You're free to vent (provided you don't blame the kids themselves) but don't act like only those who raise children can ever be tired.

Ah, to be so worried about being a nuisance that you accidentally remove yourself for other's lives.

Autism is highly hereditary. A lot of adults have realized that they're autistic after their child gets diagnosed as autistic. My dad has an autistic child (me) and an autistic grandchild. He's also pretty sure his dad was autistic.

Plushies are great for kids, but adults too! They're great for snuggling, can provide comfort, and can have soothing textures. Never be ashamed of your plushed friends!

Hyperlexia is having advanced reading skills beyond your age. These are the people who regularly read Stephen King in grade school.
Most hyperlexics are autistic. When I looked it up the percentage was over 80%! Not going to lie, I wish I was hyperlexic.

50-70% of the autistic community also has ADHD! The term AuDHD has come up as a label for this. While I don't have ADHD there are plenty of other autistic creators who do!
