I'd like to buy an shirt -- something to represent that part of my identity when I'm in public places -- but I want to support autistic creators instead of Amazon. Where are good places to look?

Autistic people are often criticised for “reading too much into things” and “assuming” the worst, but usually what we deduce is highly accurate, thanks to our pattern-spotting and dot-connecting abilities. I think the real issue is we typically unearth truths others want to remain hidden.

@markusl @simid @Laberpferd @fictionalbutnot @TeacherGriff @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I used to be disconcerted (even upset) that some people found me funny as hell .. then realized they thought they were laughing with me, so now it’s nice, just making folks laugh, not even trying 🥸

I tend to avoid social media. I don't even really know how to use it; but when I'm on here, I see that whole "community" thing that I'm not very familiar with.
Like people getting support when they're down and all that.
Sometimes I try to imagine
myself getting that.

"You are a great person."
"You are worthy of love."
etc.

But if it were me, I know it would just feel empty. How could any of you possibly know me?

This can't be just me, right?

@fictionalbutnot @jamesrylandmiller @actuallyautistic Not going to tag them directly (so that you can go follow them if you want to), but there are fiber arts groups who want to know about your crochet work
It is nice here! Follow some hashtags, and just listen in if that’s where you’re comfortable

How do my comrades calm their nervous systems and become more grounded?

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic lots of knitting, but weaving works too — busy hands, quieter mind (for me)

all my friends have sweaters now

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I would go to friend’s houses after school and read their books
