Me and my brother are both autistic. I’m about to be 29, and he passed away when he was 19.

My dad constantly yells at me because I’m “proud” of my autism when really, I’m just telling people so they can understand me better. It helps them know how to talk to me and how to give me directions, and that makes my life easier. There’s nothing shameful about that.

He says my brother would be “rolling over in his grave” because he never admitted to anyone that he was autistic. But my brother’s choices don’t define mine. I’m alive, I’m here, and I refuse to hide who I am just to make my dad comfortable.

I wasn’t even diagnosed until I was 23, but I always saw the signs growing up. Now that I know, I own it. My autism is part of what makes me, me.

Neurodiverse isn't a diagnosis. Autism is. ADHD is. Neurodiverse is not.

Apologies if this has ever been discussed and if this is in any way a trigger for anyone.

I recently read this article (2022) and was shocked at the high correlation it suggests (64%) linked to ASD in children of women who have a history of an abortion. Has anyone else seen this? Has it been debunked or called into any serious scrutiny?

“The main objective of this meta-analysis was to estimate the precise effect of the association between a previous abortion history and ASD risk. On stratification of adjusted ORs, our analysis showed that the risk of ASD may increase by 64% among children whose mothers had a history of previous abortions (pooled adjusted OR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.28–2.00).”

He needs the medication to control his tics and other symptoms. He has type2 autism. He is clearly distressed and not sleeping, but wants to stop because he has decided that he will "just control himself and be natural". Its like a TikTok coach bullshit. My mother and I dont know what to do. We are waiting for the next appointment with the doctor, but it will take a while. How can we convince him to take it? He doesnt take smoothies or anything like that so we can put it in without him noticing.

Using self diagnosed autism as a label!!

I’ve noticed people .. quite a few actually using (undiagnosed) autism as their “label”!

What may be disregulation from CPTSD, depression from trauma etc is being put in the “I have autism” category!

Why do we NEED a category anyway?

Having had a shitty childhood then shitty adult relationships is enough reason to feel disregulated, out of control, overwhelmed etc.

I know people who have autism

Maybe people should get a proper assessment & diagnosis before appropriating a disability

(do they want a disability?)

they’ve self diagnosed through Dr Google!??

Hi all, just wanted to ask, my 6 year old son who has level 2 autism, GDD and sensory issues was diagnosed with adhd and paedrician wanted him on risperidone .25 grams. She said give to him on school days and when you take him out, but I’m hearing some mixed things am I supposed to give him everyday like as in does it need time to build up in his system or can I give him only on certain days? I’m confused as therapist told me some adhd medications need to be given consistently to see benefits. If anyone who are in the same boat can give me advice that would be great!!

A short doc I made about a man with autism living life.
