My entire life when I go to handwrite or keyboard in English, I can sense that I will misspell a word or make wrong word-choice - more delayed and longer duration than verbal speech...

I often can

Being diagnosed with autism as an adult is hard. The sense of grief can be overwhelming at times. However, the understanding of your own brain can also be very freeing. #latediagnosed #autism #autistic #neurodivergent #creator

I'll be as critical with #ExtraordinaryAttorneyMinami ( #南田南弁護士は天才肌 ) as I was with #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo ( #이상한변호사우영우 ).

First reaction: similar look & haircut = stereotype. No two #autistic persons are the same!

You missed out an important part.
#Autistic children do not automatically need anything,

And that includes therapies and “medical interventions” like medicinal cannabis.

Stop using deficit based thinking about us.

We are NOT BROKEN
WE ARE #AUTISTIC

#Autistic #Grief

Each time I’ve dealt with a death I’ve reacted the same way . My processing is delayed.

I share this because #Autistic grief is different and everyone does grieve differently.
It’s just we don’t follow neuronormative standards of #Grief

I hope this helps any #Autistic person who feels alone

I deal with #Autistic #Alexithymia

( difficulty identifying, distinguishing, and describing one's own emotions based on neuronormative standards )

It can make it hard to put feelings into words.

I’ve lost my dad (at 15) and a dear friend as well as my mother in ‘21.

Grief is different ( of course ) for #Autistic people .
It does not always follow standard steps like sadness or crying…

Many #autistic people like me experience a delayed emotional reaction, where the full weight of the loss hits days, weeks, and even months later.

For next month's Mental Health #PeerSupport Group, we will be talking about #autistic burnout. We have made a free guide to this topic, written by and for autistic adults.

So many things about book shows really grate against the 'tism: talking to a bunch of people, loud, bright lights, etc.

Soooo I'll be handling the social media-ing for the next few days and giving that sweet man a much deserved break ❤️
