Am I lazy or burned out?
@autismchrysalis.bsky.social
@autismchrysalis.bsky.social@autismchrysalis.bsky.socialWhat if you rephrased it in your own mind from, “I’m lazy” or “I just can't be bothered” or “I need a good ass kicking” or whatever, to “I don't have enough energy right now to do X” or “I’m saving up my limited energy for X,” or “I’m recuperating from X.” 1/2

@filmfreak75.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@autistics #ActuallyAutistic i was “this close” to saying some variation of this yesterday in the middle of my board meeting…
@rosethornranger.bsky.socialDisabled people as a class are not privileged or oppressors just because some of us get the support we need. Even in the best case, this support is conditional and systems are still not built around us. Our oppression is only stopped by things such as free access to resources
@articulateautistic.bsky.socialWhy an Autistic Person May Push for a Closer Friendship Right Away
Does your autistic loved one tend to overshare or overexplain? We don't mean to come off as desperate or creepy, we just connect differently.
@autistinthemachine.bsky.socialWatching Celebrity Traitors I'm clueless about their intentions and motives. I have to ask my partner to explain it and watch Uncloaked.
Makes me realise how vulnerable we are in competitive environments and why we get eaten alive in the workplace.
@theaspieworld.bsky.socialCreating awareness about autism helps in breaking down barriers and building understanding. What do you wish more people understood? #ActuallyAutistic
@headfirstonly.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyThis is a depressing, but REALLY good article on how society views #actuallyAutistic people.
For what it's worth, I see myself as Autistic, not as "a person with autism". And I absolutely would not be me any more if someone ever decided to "cure" me.

Iridium can feel the music playing nearby!
@charicola.bsky.socialLet's support our autistic community advocates and ourselves with this!
@autisticventing.bsky.socialAllistics are the main cause of Autistic suicide.
Autistic suicide prevention is synonymous with undertaking interventions on severely allistic behaviour.

@autismchrysalis.bsky.socialCuriosity goes a long way in autistic burnout recovery. Asking yourself things like: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘥, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯, 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦? 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵? 1/2

@filmfreak75.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@autistics #ActuallyAutistic question for the community…
…how do you handle work requests that your autistic brain finds, for lack of a better phrase, performative and useless…
…i am on vacation and have a board meeting in 45 minutes so logged on early…

Preferably things we can defeat. 😅

@digitalcortex.bsky.socialMonotropic minds work like a tunnel, not a spotlight.
The depth is the strength. Leaving is the cost: the transition tax.
What helps: a parking note, a visible countdown, and cool-off time between tasks.
The tunnel is a strength. The exits need design.
