@ScruffyDux Can you count an inference of hypochondria? Not actually spelled out, but... My anxiety ramped up to the point of me having regular panic attacks, necessitating a few ambulance rides to the ED. @actuallyautistic

@ScruffyDux One of the biggest obstacles to better mental health for autists is judgemental aholes. What the actual frack does it matter to them how we have to cope with our comorbidities?They truly lead shallow, mean little lives. @actuallyautistic

@quietmarc Oh, yeah. I'm not even going to mention my self-dx to any doctor. Let them treat my anxiety, and my hypothyroidism, and I will deal with my exploration of autistic me, by talking here with other autistics.
That lack of curiosity, and genuine interest, is glaringly obvious among the mental health professionals, let alone overworked GPs. @ScruffyDux @actuallyautistic

@librarianknight Autist here👋 Only with some things. Hot Chips have to be hot...can be revived in air fryer. Milkshake & soft drinks must be cold. Other items mentioned - baked beans & spaghetti - I did eat cold when I was a kid. My sensitivities lie with texture and having the right utensil for eating. They have to feel 'right' in my mouth. @actuallyautistic

    Imagine if the press treated Biden's use of as a moment to educate the public about a life-saving treatment for a common condition, instead of like 5th graders saying "Ew, he's old!"
    But that wouldn't fit the GOP's pre-existing bullshit narrative, so instead we get this.

    RT @thedailybeast
    A White House spokesperson was forced to admit that President Joe Biden is using a CPAP machine to treat sleep apnea after reporters noticed slight indentations on his face.

    @stevesilberman And how defeatist is their attitude, when any male over 40 can be a sufferer. Is 40 old, now? The indentations are probably more obvious because his skin is less elastic - which IS a sign of age. Puerile, pathetic Trumpsters.🙄🤦‍♀️ @thedailybeast

    Crucial first-person history from @mcdutchie, whose online group Judy Singer was in when she coined the term (but didn't launch the movement). "Non-standard gender identities have always been accepted in and part of this movement." https://www.reddit.com/r/neurodiversity/comments/14l8bce/comment/jpuv5f0/

    @stevesilberman @mcdutchie Seems Singer is still madly trying to fit into the 'in' crowd. That they are a disgusting, bigoted, ugly bunch of pitchfork-wielding witchburners doesn't faze her.

    being autistic is a constant experience of people thinking you’re saying something you’re not and then expecting you to realize that they’re upset without ever once saying that

    Tooden,
    @Tooden@aus.social avatar

    @pikhq Isn't that passive/aggressive behaviour that they're displaying? Should we peeps be indulging their little mindgames? Tell'em to run along and play in the traffic.

    @pathfinder I identified with Anne of Green Gables, and Pollyanna. It helped, a bit. You put the case very well. Shame on them, not on you. @actuallyautistic

    @VeeRat My previous GP wouldn't even consider Hashimoto's - convinced that my thyroid medication just needs to be reduced. No way would I even mention Autism.

    @hosford42 I find that sad, on many levels. Coined words are not the sole province of the coiner, unless they patent them. Trying to limit neurodiversity to previous 'understood' traits, is to negate anything learned since then. Psychologists who think like that need to shut up, sit down, and listen to the community. We've been denied our lives for too long. @actuallyautistic

    @Richard_Littler My Hubby is , but he is able to filter out what he doesn't want to hear, where I can't. I find that the more anxious I get, the harder it is to deal with competing sounds - voices, music, traffic. My retreat is immersing myself in reading. @actuallyautistic

    PSA Reminder to the Autistic Community to TRUST YOURSELF in Medical Situations!

    I knew something was wrong, my relative looked white with grey lips.

    We called an ambulance.

    The paramedics arrived, all efficiency, but then seemed to change tune and decide everything was ok!

    You know when professionals stop listening to you? And when you try and persuade them the less they listen? That.

    We were told a cup of tea was all that was needed...

    @autisticbookclub That was grossly irresponsible of the paramedics, and 'very' unprofessional. Maybe they vote Tory, or even UKIP? @actuallyautistic

    @guidedbywire You will be there, somewhere. The level of trauma may be hard to deal with, at first, but it is something all us older autists are coming to terms with. Know that you are not alone in your suffering and your journey of self discovery. @payaldhar @jeanoappleseed @actuallyautistic :blobcathugblahaj:
