My reaction to #ElonMusk’s #NaziSalute or #RomanSalute…whatever hell you want to call it. He’s not welcomed to my autistic community gathering anytime soon. #ActuallyAutistic or not, this is a disrespectful gesture for a litany of reasons. Historical reasons: see the #Holocaust and #WhyteSupremacy

But hey, what do I know, this is what America wanted…free speech, right? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Update: due to the possible @tiktok ban in the United States, I have decided to save all my videos for archiving and close the Black Autist #TikTok account. It sucks because it’s the lifeline for many of us #autizzy and #ActuallyAutistic folx for fun, work, and advocacy. Yet sadly, controlling expression, suppressing truths, and beefing with nations are more important 🥺

I will put my TikTok videos in a compilation soon. To my TikTok supporters, thank you.

Also, what are some good alternatives to TikTok?

It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

[theblackautist]

Rules, DNI, Intro, & More!

This is a “x culture is” blog for all neurodivergent folks. So anyone with autism, ADHD, PTSD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, tourette’s, personality disorders, or any other mental illness, psychological/neurological condition, or non-neurotypical neurotype! This includes self-DX folk as well. This was inspired by all the other “x culture is” blogs out there! 

This blog is run by Mod Emri (She/They), Mod Aki (He/Him), Mod Milo (they/he/it) and formally Mod Corvid (They&/Them&) and Mod Theseus (voi/voice)!! Queue is currently posting 11 times a day. Asks are always appreciated.

Submission Rules

Please keep your asks to nd culture submissions only, or at the very least being neurodivergent related!! We’d also appreciate it if you didn’t ask for advice as we’re not able to provide help in that department.

Start submissions with “neurodivergent culture is” or some variation (”autism culture is,” “dyspraxia culture is,” “PTSD culture is,” etc.) Asks will be deleted if they don’t follow this.

Keep all fandom/shipping/character talk vague. We do not know every fandom and may not feel comfortable handling specific fandom or media related submissions.

Try to keep your asks free of discourse, we want this to be as positive a place as possible! (Vagueing about your own struggles or life is fine, though.)

Please try to use tone tags if relevant!

DNI

TERFs

transmeds

MAPs/NOMAPs 

all queerphobes, including a-spec exclusionists, transphobes, biphobes, panphobes, etc.

Those who believe in cluster B abuse (narcissistic/borderline/anti-social/histrionic)

discourse focused/centered blogs 

blogs with minors in their DNI/NSFW blogs 

supporters of Autism Speaks 

We will try to tag everything appropriately, but please let us know if you want anything tagged that we have not been tagging or forgot to tag! (Things we currently try to tag for.)

If you would like to ask us any questions, please read our FAQ first! It’s underneath the cut. Any questions that have already been answered in our FAQ will be deleted and ignored.

Keep reading

10 Years of The Black Autist!! We've came a long way from the Tumblr days, but we will continue to provide resources, great content, and interactions from the African Diaspora and neurodivergent perspectives such as my own.

I will post more details on how this year will play out, plus a special Dream Con (@dreamconvention) announcement in the next few days.

Thank you all for your continued support, whether you've been a Day One follower or following my work for the first time.

Love,

Timotheus

The Mid-Life Crisis of the Black Autist: Exploring the Autistic Lifespan Expectations as a Black Autistic Man

The Mid-Life Crisis of the Black Autist: Exploring the Autistic Lifespan Expectations as a Black Autistic Man CW: Suicidal thoughts, mentions of police and state violence

This image depicts a Black man in his mid to late 30s sitting alone in a dimly lit room. His posture is slouched, and his head rests in one of his hands, suggesting deep thought or emotional distress. The room is modestly furnished with a worn-out sofa, a wooden coffee table, and a floor lamp emitting a warm glow. In the background, a window with a faint view outside adds depth, while small…

What #hyperfocusing can do to you: keep in stuck in the office til close to midnight! That’s what I get for working on the guide for a speaking gig application for too long lol.
