Sie hörte zu lächeln auf, weil sie sich schlecht dafür fühlte. »Ich könnte mit dem Geruch von frischem Nagellack gerade nicht umgehen.«, murmelte sie.
»Findest du deshalb abblätternden Lack besonders hübsch?«, fragte Marim grinsend.
Nurek schüttelte den Kopf. »Das ist unabhängig.«

What assumptions do you wish people would stop making about trans autistic people?

Autism Awareness is vital in the Transgender & Non-Binary community.

It's #AutismAcceptanceWeek so here's a little video I made about sensory overload, which affects me, and, oh, what's the word? SUCKS.

#AutismAcceptanceWeek runs from 2 - 8 April.

Our libraries have a huge set of fiction and non-fiction books that are a great read to help raise awareness. Find them on the shelf or on displays like this one at #MotherwellLib.

It's and we had a chat with Katie Munday about the benefits of online spaces for trans autistic people and what people can do to make both online and physical spaces more inclusive.

"The intersections between being a trans & autistic person couldn’t be clearer. My experience was trenchantly invalidated because under the cisgender and neurotypical gaze, we are drained of any agency, autonomy or say in who we are." Fey

It's #AutismAcceptanceWeek so I'm reposting some videos about my autism diagnosis. After my first one, I got lots of feedback, so here's the video that replied to some of the spicier comments...

"Being open from the start of the appointment about the emotional side of my request made it easier for me to communicate, something that can be hard being autistic, instead of trying to find the right words to say after I was already upset." Gage

A quick reminder this : Some people are trans and Autistic. It doesn't matter why. What matters is that Autistic trans people are valued for who they are - just like any other trans person or any other Autistic person.

It's and we're delighted to share a new article from the wonderful Katie Munday on their experience as an Autistic trans person.

You can read it at transactual.org.uk/blog/2024/0

“My [Autism] diagnosis gave me a new appreciation, understanding and acceptance of myself.   Once I understood more about my neurocognition there was still this blurry area of gender  I needed to unpick and with that, what my social transition might look like.”  Katie. The image also shows a rainbow infinity symbol and Katie's face is blurred in the background

Autism Acceptance Month begins on April 1. Take time in the weeks ahead to learn more about autism and determine what you can do to make your community more inclusive and supportive.

The great irony, of course, of #AutismAwarenessDay / #AutismAwarenessMonth / #AutismAcceptanceWeek is that the voices of #ActuallyAutistic people are being drowned out by the very people who are oppressing us, silencing us, abusing us, commodifying our very bodies.

It's important to remind everyone on #AutismAwarenessDay that labels such as high/low functioning, support needs, speaking, masking, etc are not helpful. These things are not static. Treating them as if they are is ableist.

Every #ActuallyAutistic person can experience variations in support needs, functioning, masking, speaking, and any other label which outsiders may see as permanent. What & how one is today isn't necessarily what one will be tomorrow. Life changes us. None of that is permanent.

Just because today I am verbal and appear to be "high functioning" to you doesn't mean that I will be so next week, or even a minute from now. While you may see me as a "success" and "well adjusted" now, next month I may be in an institution, catatonic and non-verbal.

Perhaps today I am "living unmasked" but tomorrow that can be different, depending on MANY THINGS. That being said, I may not be. We are all different. Each #autistic person has their own brain and their own life. NOTHING IS PERMANENT. Lose the labels.

But to that end, this is MY take. I DO NOT speak for all autistic people, just like no one autistic person speaks for another. Our experiences are different AND shared. Respect that & if you want to learn ONE thing during #AutismAcceptanceWeek it's that we are all unique.
