My psychiatrist on Friday told me that 'there's a stigma around autism', which led to me loudly informing him that I've been living with a stigma my whole life and not having a label did nothing to prevent that.

As you say, just existing was already enough to upset NT people. Being oneself and being accepted felt like conflicting goals.

I prefer cards without RFID themselves either, and that very aspect impacted which credit cards I ended up relegating and shifting towards using others, back when it was still novel and I could get cards from different issuers that hadn't implement them.

In other words, financial institutions effectively lost my business by putting RFID on their cards and not offering options without when I called and asked...lol

#introduction

Hi, I go by Critter or Chris, I'm 21, he/him (mostly). I'm #ActuallyAutistic, #polyamorous, #bisexual, and #trans. I'm also a #furry.

I'm very much a tech enthusiast, although currently all the "programming" I can do is HTML and CSS! I'm working on learning Python. I'm a big fan of #FOSS, but I've yet to actually contribute to a project!

I love #drawing (and developing OCs!), guinea pigs, deer, rabbits, cats, and birds! I play an awful lot of video games, like #Fallout and #TheSims.

@steppeBow @RosethornRangerTTV @actuallyautistic It seems you're mixing up multiple aspects. The post is about self-diagnosis rather than medication. That is perfectly fine without an official label, which can be problematic as those labels are part of a system that tries to put everyone into boxes, one way or another.

I love this view of life in the future, where women have weak necks requiring neck braces and the Lestoil of the future is so toxic it requires a full body hazmat suit.

Ah, how sweet. I love my whore family, too.

Me when I'm ovulating:

Random Guy: Hey! How you doing? You wanna hear all about my life?

Me: Why tf are you talking to me? *pops in earbuds*

RG: Hey! Pay attention to me! I'm talking to you!

Me: *ignores* Jams out to music

Another Random Guy: Hey! Over here! Can you tell me if this is the bus that gets you there?

Sign: *Bus that gets you there*

Me: Can't you read? 🤨🙄 Can't you see that I have my "Leave me the fuck alone" gear on?

I have just completed a series of international conversations – with President of the United States Biden, with Prime Minister of Canada Trudeau, and with President of Poland Andrzej Duda. Positive conversations that are very necessary right now for all of us.

Of course, we discussed the hostilities on the frontline, our active actions. I thanked our partners for the support provided – it is very significant and appreciated

Redundant just reached 12k views. This is a project about conversion therapy in the UK, telling the stories of transgender and nonbinary people in the UK. Can we get it to 13k views? Would you share it with a friend? Thank you ❤️

I have been highly masking for more than 20 years which led me into #autisticburnout and made me suicidal.

So, by need of survival, I mask a little less in some situations.

I'm out to some ppl. Most try to be compassionate and understanding, but still I get a lot of FB like "Come on, it's not that bad. Just relax. Why can't you be more X and less Y?" etc, esp. by my husband.

I can't do it anymore, but I'm so afraid they find out how weird, awkward, weak and pathetic I am.

And on the fourth day Jesus returned to do a book signing, confusing many.

I absolutely adore the whimsical #art of 3D sidewalk chalk artist David Zinn. https://zinnart.com

Zinn creates delightful “works of ephemeral pareidolic anamorphosis” inspired by weeds, sewer covers, traffic cones & nearly everything he encounters around his Ann Arbor community.

I used to say I wanted to make ridiculous amounts of money. I see now I should have chosen my words more carefully.
