"The gap between high-functioning and low-functioning Autistic people is too wide. This is why they need to be two separate diagnoses."

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

There is no gap, there are people there.

THERE IS NO GAP, THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE!

MSN Autistic people exist. Separating the spectrum is to leave us behind. Stop forgetting about us.

Corner of my sensory tent 🖤

In the pocket is my tablet, kindle, and phone locker thingy? That stops me from doomscrolling.

Found it so helpful recently and got me away from sleeping on floor.

Sleeping on the floor

Don't feel safe in my bed

[autclover]

I don't feel like a human being

Everything feels wrong

Feels like my skin is burning

Feels like a robot is moving my mouth to make me talk

I feel confused and frightened

Anyway.

Feel positive.

I think my substance abuse relapse is finally under control after a long 9 months of using again, I have seeked professional help too and that starts in 3 weeks but have some online support for now.

I have also reached out to therapist and i am doing dbt with her. If any other autistics have experience with dbt I would love to hear your thoughts.

I love my friends I love having friends I love being accepted I love inside jokes I love groupchat memes

Yesterday I went shopping with my mum and we saw Snowdrop in the shop and I had to have her!! Look how pretty she is. She's shy at the moment.

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic
