Here you will find my experiences with autism, as well as the anxiety and depression that often come with it. I want this to be a place of neurodiversity. I’m not an expert, but I welcome questions, thoughts and experiences from others. I want to respect all neurodivergences and that means refusing to reinforce ableism. I don’t use functioning language. Nor do I insult people on the basis of their intelligence, or equate intelligence with worth. Outside of ableism, I also reblog posts about cissexism, heterosexism, racism, sexism, sizism and any other -isms that are taking place. As a white cisgender guy I hold a lot of privileges, so I welcome call-outs when I get any of this wrong. My personal posts tend to be in the actuallyautistic tag.I can also be found at FY Stimming.
