Any books on autism by autistic authors with higher support needs? Or blogs? We tend to center lower support needs voices and I want to make a point of using my position to elevate those who don’t get heard as much as I do 💜

Fun question for #AuthorsofMastodon

If I've written a novella set a "high school" level academy, but the character is older than her classmates due to health issues keeping her out of school (so she's 17 and her classmates are 14/15)

Is this still #YA or is it #NewAdult

@KitMuse @bookstodon

I think it all depends on your content.

I would say YA but if it reads like Less Than Zero, I would say not.

I’m not much of a believer in New Adult as a genre. It’s all contemporary literature to me 😊

Being @actuallyautistic and for me means I often get told the following, initially:

„No! You‘re wrong! What a shit take! You have no idea what you‘re talking about! Stop the drugs, man!“ and the like.

After some discussion, people say:

„I have not thought of it this way. I got you wrong. We should actually consider doing it your way. You seem to have deeper insight than the average person.“

This often makes me question my place in this world. Anyone else?

I never had that kind of reaction. It’s either people accept it and understand me or shrug it off and ignore me.

I guess NTs that mimic #auctuallyautistic traits like stimming also go to #blacklivesmatter events in blackface. 🤔

@sal @actuallyautistic yes and or do it because they think it will help them understand or make autistic feel accepted

I'm asking my fellow for books on Autism. If you have suggestions, I'm happy to hear about them!

John Eldar Robison’s books have helped me a lot.

Does anyone else have sensory issues washing their face?

I’m trying the curology acne treatment because my face has bad acne lately. It comes with a cleanser that you must use 2x daily. Washing my face feels like sensory torture. I’m doing it anyways. Not washing my face or using cleansing wipes is probably what caused the acne.

I was put in swimming lessons for years as a kid but I refused to learn because I didn’t like the feeling of the water on my face.

Relate?
