Nobody talks about the hard parts about autism.

Nobody talks about not knowing when you need to eat, drink or pee. Not knowing when you're in pain, or why you're in pain. Not being able to communicate what you need.

Or when change is so hard to deal with you have meltdowns and outbursts. When you can't control your anger and hurt yourself or others. When you can't emote unless you're breaking down.

Or when you can't understand what someone is saying, what you're reading, anything. When you can't even try because trying makes it worse. When you ask for help but not getting what they say just makes you more frustrated.

And so many more difficult experiences we have to deal with that no one likes.

“Hey my name is Lil Nas X and my pronouns are He/Him. I feel like it’s common decency to respect people’s pronouns just as it is common decency for people to call you by your own name” 

no sorry I can’t hang out I’m busy feeling nothing and then feeling everything all at once and getting too overwhelmed

So Julianna claimed a basket that was on top of some pillows as her bed. No problem, I'm pretty happy to let her sleep wherever she wants.

But the basket tipped over and she just kinda poured out. I'm not sure she understands what happened. She looks so confused.

 ok, but why was years of sustained and impassioned actions and resistance from Secwempec, Salish, and other Indigenous peoples along the route of the pipeline not enough to halt construction?

suddenly Canadian institutions are like “we can ignore continued pleas from First Nations, Secwempec homes built along the route, RCMP attacks on Indigenous camps in brutal mid-winter conditions and other state violence against Indigenous land defenders, BC’s Highway of Tears and missing and murdered Indigenous women, the felling of both inland and coastal temperate rainforest sacred to Indigenous peoples, and attempts by Indigenous peoples within BC borders to manage their own land for stuff like harvesting berries and protecting caribou herds … but we can’t ignore legally-compelled bureaucratic assessments of one of the few creatures the government chooses to acknowledge as worth considering which will, in the end, after the paperwork is filed, result in no change, death of hummingbirds regardless, and continued pipeline construction.”
