I am too tired to try and be human.

Too tired

like, how much is spent on validifying disability compared to how much is spent on the need to increase quantity of accessible accommodations?

Fake claimers are a much bigger threat to disabled people than fakers ever will be.

💜 Purple Day – March 26 Understanding Epilepsy & Workplace Awareness 💜

Epilepsy is unpredictable. It can come with warnings or strikes without notice. Some of us know when it’s coming—we might say “I need to breathe”—a signal that our brain is about to misfire. But what happens next isn’t always understood, and that misunderstanding can be dangerous.🚨That’s exactly what happened to me. I felt the warning signs, walked out of my workplace, got in my car, and drove…

How to make a cheap Migraine friendly lamp shade.

When starting out with migraines, I was extremely (and still am to a degree) photosensitive/photophobia. My lamp didn’t have a dial for its brightness, so I couldn’t dim it without either buying a new blackout lampshade or a new but dimmer lightbulb.

Instead, I grabbed a couple of sheets of black construction paper, duct tape, and used my current lampshade as the mold, and created a lampshade to go over my current one. It worked wonders! I didn’t use a cap on top due to a possible fire hazard, so I still have to angle the lamp shade carefully but it is much more bearable.

Here’s my finished product:

While it’s clearly uneven, it follows the “It’s not for fashion, it’s for function” mantra I have about migraines. You can feel free to add your own designs, I simply didn’t because I don’t have the energy or willpower for it.

🎙️ Crazytown Chronicles: “They Wouldn’t Lie to Us?”

By The Empress | TheEmpressPress.blog

“While regular broadcasting has been interrupted… let me reintroduce you to the facts.”

Some say, “They wouldn’t lie to us.”

To that I say:

Yeah. They would. And they did.

See, I keep telling y’all—I was on the President’s List every semester in Business school. Top of the class. Honor roll. Dean’s List. You name it.

And guess what the most valuable lesson I learned was?

Fake it till you make it.

Let that marinate.

🧠 The Autistic Mystic Mind: A Natural Lie Detector

Neurodivergent minds—especially autistic ones—are hardwired for pattern recognition. We spot inconsistencies, read between the lines, and feel the dissonance before others even notice the disconnect.

Psychologically, this isn’t magic—it’s science.

✳️ FACT:

Autistic individuals have been shown to exhibit increased systemizing abilities, meaning we analyze the rules, logic, and structure of environments. (Baron-Cohen, S., 2002: “The extreme male brain theory of autism”)

This often allows us to see institutional contradictions that neurotypicals ignore because they’re conditioned to prioritize social harmony over factual accuracy.

So when I say I “connect the dots,” understand that it’s not a feeling—it’s a calculation.

💸 Lies Are Lucrative: The Business of Deception

From education to medicine to religion (don’t worry, we’ll save those sermons for a rainy day), deception is not a bug in the system—it’s the system’s entire business model.

Let’s start with education.

⚖️ LAW: Every child is entitled under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).

Yet schools:

Mislabel kids to redirect funding

Over-pathologize Black and Brown children for being “too active” or “non-compliant”

Under-identify ADHD and autism in girls

Prioritize order over understanding

All while pushing behavior plans that are nothing more than compliance contracts designed to make life easier for staff—not students.

📚 Legal Reference: 20 U.S. Code § 1412 – State Eligibility; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973

Now why would they lie?

Because truth doesn't pay—but dysfunction does. IEP meetings filled with jargon. Overworked teachers with no trauma training. Parents gaslit into silence. And children… silenced altogether.

🤥 Neurotypicals Will Gaslight the Galaxy Before Admitting They Were Wrong

I’ve always said:

“You can’t tell a neurodivergent brain nothin’ if it doesn’t make sense.”

We’re allergic to illogic. We reject contradiction. And if the math ain’t mathin’? We don’t go along to get along.

But for those who say “they wouldn’t lie”… let me ask this:

Why did medical journals suppress research on Black pain tolerance for decades?

Why were autistic women and girls excluded from research until the late 1990s?

Why are schools still using discipline models designed in the Jim Crow era?

Why do Black children make up 15% of the student population but 43% of suspensions?

📚 Source: U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, 2016 Civil Rights Data Collection

If truth were told, the entire system would collapse. So instead, they gaslight. They rebrand oppression as “support.” They call trauma “defiance.” They call survival “laziness.”

But I see it.

🏚️ The System Was Built for Their Comfort—Not Our Freedom

Let’s tell the truth: this whole setup was rigged from the beginning.

Education wasn’t built for the curious. It was built to create compliant workers.

Mental health wasn’t built for healing. It was built to manage and monitor.

“Support plans” weren’t made to understand your child. They were made to control them.

So yeah—they’d lie. Because if they told the truth, there’d be no profit in it. No diagnosis quotas. No special ed budgets manipulated. No rich pockets staying rich.

And they’d never admit it—because when the neurodivergent mind connects the dots, we expose what they need to stay hidden.

⚠️ The Neurodivergent Truth: Feelings Come Last. Facts Are Everything.

Autistic people don’t play about facts. We don’t bend reality to keep people comfortable. We say what we see.

And what I see is this:

A system built to fail us

Professionals protecting their paychecks, not our children

Whole institutions gaslighting parents into silence

And a society shocked when someone finally dares to call it what it is

So if it hurts to learn the truth… Maybe you should ask yourself why it was so easy to believe the lie.

👑 Final Word From The Empress of Pattern Recognition

They wouldn’t lie to us?

They lied. They gaslit. They branded it policy.

But here’s the thing: they never expected someone to come along and trace the whole map back to its origin. They never expected a neurodivergent mind to not only connect the dots—but to publish them.

But that’s exactly what I’m doing. And I’m just getting started.

🌀 Keep watching the sky. Keep questioning the system. Keep reading the truth. 📡 Only on TheEmpressPress.blog. For the misunderstood, mislabeled, and mighty—we see you. We got you. We are you.

On #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities, let’s remember that not all disabilities are visible.

While prosthetics and wheelchairs may be noticeable, there are many disabilities that remain unseen—heavy burdens of stress, anxiety, isolation, and stigma that countless people face every day.

Mental health challenges are just as valid and need the same support and understanding as any physical disability.

It’s time to break the silence and show compassion for all forms of disability—whether visible or not! 🧠💙

The migraine community has these problems of having their migraines mistaken for headaches, but your pain is valid!

We Experience bring medically gaslight to simply drink more water, exercise, and lose weight. And while those can help, those simply won’t cut it.

Your pain is valid. Your pain is legitimate. And you know your body’s pain is important to address!

I wish you well in your fight against migraines!

I hate you ocular migraines i hate you light sensitivity i hate you debilitating headache i hate you fuzzy vision i hate you nausea so bad that i start vomiting bile i hate you unsympathetic workmates who tell me to stop being a baby and pop some advil i hate you i hate you

Try doing activities where you’re using your hands but don’t need to see much; Like organizing a small space, folding clothes, origami, knitting, cleaning something small. I usually have “fidget fingers” that pets gravitate to, and I can focus an watch a movie if I’m petting my dog.

Petting, podcast, and doing a small chore or organizing something— even digitially— helps with this feeling.

too much migraine to read. too much Adderall to do anything else.
