Isn't it great when you're trying to work, or sleep, or ANYTHING and your brain just won't shut up. I've laid in bed for hours trying to sleep but can't because my brain just has to tell me about a bunch of useless stuff for no reason!

I hate when people come over unannounced. I don't care if I have nothing on my schedule I need time to prepare my mind for social interaction. You come over without warning and my mind doesn't have that time to prep.

When I have a meltdown or I shut down it's very rarely caused by just one thing. It's a build up of a bunch of little things others may not notice. They eat away at my spoons until I have none left, and I just can't handle anything anymore.

There's a HUGE difference between celebrating an accomplishment by a disabled person, and making a feel good story about the fact that we simply exist in a world not built for us. We aren't here for your entertainment, or your ableist pity.

It's like mixing up two phrases together, but with your fingers! The disconnect between my brain and my fingers is...interesting sometimes.

You can't be an autistic ally AND support Autism Speaks. You just can't. You can't support an organization that is pro-ABA, demonizes autism, and silences autistic voices and be our ally. Go rethink your position.

When I get stressed it's like my brain does everything it can to make me even more stressed. Instead of trying to calm down my mind immediately goes to worse case scenario and it just drains me.

When people tell me how they've stopped masking I'm just like "How?!" I spent so many years masking without even realizing it that I don't really know how to stop now when I'm not at home. I wish I knew how to stop though. It's pretty exhausting sometimes.
