I was delighted when I closed my 7-8 y.o. Mac then realized my laptop cover & Late-Identified AuDHD had color/pattern similarities! They both remind me of the sea glass I collect. 🤩

Late-Identified : A Starter Workbook is out in eBook & Paperback. It is not meant to be diagnostic! It is meant for adults who are early in their self-discovery of what it means to be and have .

@audhd I got a surprise today! There are real people out there who have signed up for my Low-Spoonz Newsletter off of www.BZBrainz.com after my April release. I have not yet sent out a newsletter, but I will within Quarter 3. It's titled the "Low-Spoonz Newsletter" for a good reason! You won't hear from me often, only if I have something to share and as I have spoons to share them.

@audhd I have been told this is terrible marketing, and I agree, but my readers and I have some things in common. We are likely , some of our e-mails are stuffed, and we may be low on spoons because of . @actuallyautistic @Adhdinos

@actuallyautistic Felt really good today to have an affirming home health agency help set up a good start of care for a family member. I feel like it should be a standard practice in healthcare to inform people what they can expect throughout, provide accessible education, and follow-up instructions in a format that can be used by the patient.

Today's piece with The Big Picture writer Amelia Mavis Christnot is a must-read... "Autism doesn't need a cure. It needs empathy and understanding.

I think if we approached ASD from that perspective we could better help individuals who are nonverbal or who have coexisting disabilities.

And mental illness is not an excuse for racism or mass shootings.

There are millions of us with actual diagnoses and we've never gone on a bigoted rant or shot up a school, church or movie theater. Stop blaming poor choices on mental illness."

@georgetakei Though the spectrum disorder (ASD) criteria for diagnosis in the United States is written into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders... it is not a mental illness. ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder. What does this mean? It means I was born . My brain and nervous system developed this way. @actuallyautistic

@georgetakei Notably, ASD does have many common co-occurring mental health conditions, such as anxiety and PTSD, and is frequently misdiagnosed, which may cause significant harm. Mislabeling ASD as a mental illness contributes to the harm we experience. Please correct your post. Thank you. @actuallyautistic

Allergy season has been a year-long adventure. I’m telling the universe I need these new meds to work so I can do the things I love.

Hello people. I'm considering making an account but I have a question: Does it have a social community aspect like goodreads where you can make updates and comment on others' updates? Or is it like storygraph that's mainly about registering your reads and then see graphs/stats?

Thanks in advance 😌

What are you reading right now?

I am looking at starting a series by Yasmin Galenorn, midway through Wired for Story by Lisa Cron, and reading a study guide for case management. I’m a mood reader.

@bookstodon @bookwyrm
Did you know that if you live in the US, you can ask your to order ? Budget constraints exist, but if we don't ask for our bookstores and public libraries to carry books written by for autistics, many voices are missing from the digital & physical spaces. Please consider how your requests help diversify what is available publically and keep expanding your requests to include more voices.

@haven4books @actuallyautistic
Thank you for adding more detail—I needed a librarian’s nuance! ♥️

A few I’ve requested at my library are Neuroqueer Heresies: Notes on the Neurodiversity Paradigm, Autistic Empowerment, and Postnormal Possibilities by Nick Walker. The anthology Gender Identity, Sexuality and Autism: Voices from Across the Spectrum and Unusual Medicine: Essays on Autistic Identity and Drug Addiction by David Gray-Hammond.

@haven4books If you run across good, lesser known titles from autistic authors—of any genre—feel free to send them way too.
