In order to make a work life for yourself that doesn’t fit the standards, that might go against the grain in some ways, that doesn’t necessarily live up to the timeframe that other people expect, you have to dissolve a lot of that old messaging, and the negative thoughts and shame and guilt and fears that come up when you so much as think about trying something different.

I can still be completely honest and entirely myself, and also notice how I come across to others, what will affect them, and what they need to be okay right now. #healthycommunication #healthyrelationships #ActuallyAutistic #Autistic

Many aspects of our lives are shaped by strong social pressures, happenstance, luck, and (mis)fortune, that don’t necessarily reflect our actual preferences, yet it’s common that other people assume that’s what we wanted. Or we believe that lie ourselves, and we blame ourselves for not “making better choices”. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

AuDHDers: tired of burning out trying to make self-employment work?

A lot of solopreneur advice assumes people work in the same way, but Autistic and AuDHD founders have totally different strengths and challenges.

I'm launching a new course soon: Work for Yourself Without Burning Out

Getting out of burnout isn’t just getting some energy, getting a little motivation and then doing stuff the same way again. It’s doing things in a different way, so that you don’t go into burnout again.

When I was a kid and complained the ice cream was cold, they laughed at me. When I fought my mom putting on tights, she would get exasperated. When I "went into a sulk" over a change of plans, they said it wasn't a big deal and I should just get over it. Labeling it "not a big deal" was a way for them to get off the hook of having to deal with what was really going on. https://youtube.com/shorts/b_EZ_iPFoaE?feature=share #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

My brain finds that it’s hard to predict a lot of the world and a lot of people. And so I tend to find comfort in trying to make things into absolutes. So things tend to be sorted into an all or a nothing, especially when I’m stressed. And one of my biggest revelations was, it’s not all or nothing. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity #Acceptance

Many Autistics and many ADHDers need more rest for our nervous systems to be able to process the sensory information that we’re taking in, the social information we’re taking in, to be able to regulate, and to really actually feel rested.

I spent years feeling like my body was overreacting to things other people brushed off. It made more sense when I realised most of my rules about what is and is not 'safe' were written in childhood. Of course that stuff is still affecting you. That is when you learned what did and did not feel safe. https://youtube.com/shorts/_U6Prl9q9zw?feature=share #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

Sometimes it might be difficult to figure out whether it’s actually a negative thought or the practicalities of the situation, especially as some of these negative thoughts feel really true, and you’re so used to thinking them that it’s hard to tell. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity #Anxiety

People want to know that they’re making a difference. So when they do something kind for you and you write a thank-you, you’re cluing them in to what difference their time, attention, or effort made. And for most people on the receiving end of that, that feels really good. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity #healthycommunication #healthyrelationships

So often when we have those kinds of big life-upsetting moments, it feels very, very strongly like ‘this is the end of the story’ and ‘this is always going to be like this from now on’. But what if it’s not the end of the story? What if this is the middle of the story?

When you’re in burnout, just taking a break is never enough because it’s not solving the issues at the core of it.

I remember sitting in the car with my mom in late high school, crying in a rare moment of emotional overflow, begging her to explain why I didn’t have friends, why the other kids didn’t treat me the same, what was wrong with me. It took 2 more decades for me to understand why I was different. In this video, I try to finally answer, describing a pattern I’ve seen from hundreds of Autistics. https://youtu.be/Epr3sDaKb-8?si=xgoAWCsKaNUJHTff #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurospicy #Neurodiversity

Sometimes I’ll slip into old thoughts every once in a while - but I’m doing things in ways that work differently now, and my mentality is different, and how I’m approaching things is different, and there’s a lot of things that I’m not stressing about anymore that I would have before. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #PersonalGrowth

Burnout and overwhelm make sensory issues more intense, and they also build up over time, so when you were younger sensory issues may not have been quite as big of a deal. #ActuallyAutistic #Sensory #AutisticBurnout #AuDHD #Burnout

You absolutely can be good at peopling and autistic! We learn social skills analytically instead of picking them up intuitively, but we CAN learn them. And when we do, we often get really, really good at them.

Sneak peak. New video tomorrow: Why Autistics Adults are Lonely

So many autistic adults struggle with loneliness, even while they ache for connection. But why?
It’s easy to think we’re just too different, that people will never accept us, that loneliness is simply our fate. But what if the real barrier isn’t that we’re “too weird”, but rather that we need to heal relationship trauma that we’d rather avoid and learn healthier relationship skills?

Autistic masking is a trauma response; there was a good reason why it started, and it’s going to bring up all sorts of insecurities to not protect yourself in this way.

Trying to unmask without that inner work often produces less than optimal results, reinforcing messages around not being good at people, that people will never accept you for who you are, etc.

All the confusion growing up and being told I was saying things wrong, but never being told how, had its effect later in life; I was never sure what I would say or do that would set people off. I never knew which way to turn. What to say. What not to say. What would make things worse. And the result was anxiety. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Anxiety
