when someone accuses Autistics of pretending to not get social clues i think about the time i walked in on my friends having sex and i was like ‘hey guys what’s up?’ and they were like ‘uh can you leave for a bit?’ and i was so oblivious that i was like ‘no? wtf? i just got here’

when making plans with an Autistic person please consider the following
- asking a few days in advance
- being clear about location/event
- stating who will be there if not just you
- giving a specific time, ‘at 16:30’ VS ‘around 16:00ish’
- not changing location last minute

Do you know about Autistic burnout?
Autistic burnout results from chronic life stress & a mismatch of expectations/abilities without adequate support. It’s characterised by pervasive, long-term (typically 3+ months) exhaustion, loss of function, & reduced tolerance to stimulus.

if we diagnosed neurotypicals like autistics:
- you have shallow interests
- you read too deeply into the meanings of phrases
- you operate better without a plan
- instead of saying what you think, you expect others to infer it based on undefined social rules

Autistic masking can sometimes look like:
- forcing eye contact
- rehearsing scripts in your head
- suppressing the urge to stim
- repeating phrases others have said
- copying accents/tones subconsciously
- exaggerated facial expressions/head/body movements (mimicking)

if you don’t end up cleaning that day they come home and say, “you didn’t think that with any of your time today you could have helped out?”
