Yup, that includes nonspeaking and partially speaking autistic folks too. And learning disabled autistics. And autistic folk with lots of co-occurring conditions. And autistic wheelchair users ♿️ and other mobility aid users. Did you know that increasing evidence is being found of co-occurrence of autism and hypermobility disorders, including Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, Marfan Syndrome and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome?

That includes queer and binary and nonbinary trans autistics - did you know autistic folks are about three times more likely to be trans or gender-nonconforming than the general population?

That includes sex workers too - did you know sex work is one job a lot of autistic folk can actually manage to do, and that’s really vital when it’s so difficult for so many of us to access disability benefits and reasonable accommodations in paid work?

That includes autistics with mental health diagnoses, including schizophrenia and psychosis. Autistic folks in prison and with criminal records too - do you know that the U.K. Government’s own disability strategy notes that about 40% of people in the criminal system are neurodivergent and/or learning disabled?

That includes Black autistics, indigenous autistics and autistics of colour, who are not only horribly more likely to be the targets of violence, including fatal violence, from law enforcement and from paid carers - the Judge Rotenberg Centre, notorious for subjecting autistics to *electric shocks* as punishment, primarily hosts BIPOC folk - but are also far more likely to be misdiagnosed or go undiagnosed?

Does anybody else have a really hard time telling when they're overstimulated?

My body's go to reaction when too much Is going on is to dissociate. But I'm always dissociating??

Driving? Dissociate

Working? Dissociate

Socializing? Dissociate

Doing a hobby? Dissociate

Self reflection? DISSOCIATE

Even now, I read the word "dissociate" too many times and it doesn't look real anymore. I'm thinking too hard about how I dissociate and guess what? I'm dissociating.

I don't understand and it's very frustrating, I just want to know when I need to take a break but if I can never tell what I'm feeling physically or emotionally then ???

what's coming out of their mouth: "I'm transautistic."

what they're actually saying: "I'm an ableist asshole."

if pretending to have autism is okay then why isnt pretending ur dog is a service dog okay?

why isnt it okay to pretend to have severe intellective decifit okay.

by your logic i could just pretend or "identify" as having a disorder that affect motor skill and that would be okay.

If i pushed someone or made them fall then i could just say it is because of that one disorder and not bc im a massive asshole or a big clutz, and that telling me otherwise is ableism.

same goes for trans autism, i could claim i have autism and then be mean for no reason and blame it on my autism.

i can fake being anything or identify as anything, but its so privileged and so unfair to peoples that cant change or "identify" as something on will.

you do not get to claim something you didnt and wont ever experience, and thinking otherwise is extremely privileged.

that take suck, and i would love to say im surprised of such a bad take but honestly, while im disappointment, i didn't expect better.

same goes for trans autism, i could claim i have autism and then be mean for no reason and blame it on my autism.

Yes! One of the privileges of autism. Being able to be rude to people and blame it on your autism. /s

If your way of going after trans-autism is by repeating ableist stereotypes... maybe just don't?

This whole post gives off the same exact fear-mongering vibes as transphobes arguing that men will be dressing up as women to go into women's bathrooms.

And honestly, I think that if someone legitimately doesn't understand social cues, people should try to be understanding of that. Don't give someone a pass, but if there's honest confusion, I don't think we're more deserving of second chances than anyone else just because we have an arbitrary medical diagnosis. And normalizing autistic behaviors exhibited by allistics would normalize those behaviors for us as well.

Obviously, we and many others with ASD need support, but I find it really gross to imply that because we have ASD, we have some sort of "get out of taking responsibility free" card that's exclusive to us, and makes wanting to pretend to be autistic beneficial.

Rewriting your past with the knowledge that you never deserved the ridicule or humiliation from your peers is hard. I wasn't "weird" or "gross" or "embarrassing", I was undiagnosed and went through more trauma in my developmental years than most of my peers would experience in their entire lives.

I didn't make up little white lies because I was a pathological liar or trying to garner attention, I was perpetually going through several identity crises and had zero help.

I didn't listen to "cringy" music or enjoy "weird" movies, shows and other media. I had unique interests that other kids didn't get. I hyperfocused on morbid and macabre subjects because it was an outlet for always feeling different and broken and like an outsider.

I was never a bad kid, I did well in school because it came easy to me. I stayed out of trouble because I was taught when I stand up for people, myself included, I was being "dramatic" and "too sensitive". I only had a few friends at a time because it was hard to find people who were unique and interesting like I was. Like I am.

I was not a weird kid, I was undiagnosed autistic. Nobody could tell I was autistic, except for bullies at school, fake friends who would laugh about me being my backs, and adults who wanted to bully out all of the "embarrassing", "dramatic", and "spoiled" traits out of me.

I am not a bad person, I am autistic.

not discourse related whatsoever just something that's interesting to me

i honestly think it's really obvious that a lot of autistic people like myself would be trans, given my interpretation of gender. autism gives me a hugely different perspective on the world compared to allistic people, and it means i see pretty much everything different. and if gender truly embodies the perception of the self, then it only makes sense that autistic people won't view their gender in the same way an allistic, cisgender person would

in a similar way, being autistic for me personally means less of a desire to "fit in" in the same way an allistic person might, even an allistic trans person, allowing me to explore much more of my identity than just "i'm a man" and leaving it at that. it allows me to not only develop a more in-depth sense of self, but also to develop a theory about humanity as a whole

(of course being autistic also sucks because i have to deal with chest dysphoria AND sensory issues stemming from my chest but that's besides the point lmfao)

these are just my experiences, too: it blows my mind to imagine, with the vastly different points of view different autistic people can have, what that means for them as well. like, these are just my experiences, imagine what other people experience (if you have anything to add please feel free to i'd love to hear)

Get yourself an autistic wife. She's always got something to teach me and I just fall more in love.

I noticed how it felt like every minute I stayed around others longer my energy got drained more. So now I'm in my room, stimmed freely to music and am now sitting under a blanket listening to comfort music and chewing on a sensory toy.

I can feel myself recharging.

A year ago I wouldn't even have known that I need this. I would have just stayed there until I was fully drained and depressed, maybe even suicidal.
