The ridicule, bullying, and being made a figure of fun doesn't necessarily stop when you get past childhood either 👇#actuallyautistic
Autistic people are so often ridiculed, bullied and made fun of for things like not understanding jokes, misinterpreting social cues and finding social situations difficult. It’s no wonder we develop social anxiety. We are traumatised from growing up autistic.

@mightbeautistic Writing it down and sharing my experiences via blog - it's been liberating.
An Autistic Eye in GeoSci retweeted
The Māori word for #autism is takiwatanga, ‘in their own time and space’ I for one think it’s lovely to describe the condition I can relate to this as I find focusing on one thing at a time works better for me.
Blog #8 The Interviews How does it feel to attend academic job interviews when you are #ActuallyAutistic ? @GeoForTheFuture @EDIinGeo @StanfordDIG @access_geo @AccessibleGEO @DiverseGeos @GeoSciencesEDI @ADVANCEGeo @GeoscienceEdu #AcademicChatter anautisticeyeingeosci.wordpress.com/2023/02/08/8-t…

Things that a lot of autistic people are tired of hearing. - a thread.
An Autistic Eye in GeoSci retweeted
This poll will be sad if you don’t answer. #AskingAutistic Are you aware that Autists have a strong tendency to personify object, plants, animals, and even their own thoughts … (More details in the next tweet)
An Autistic Eye in GeoSci retweeted
Was sent this by a parent today. This is a school report for an autistic child who is meant to be supported for SEND.. So sad and shocked that this is deemed okay and sent to families..
@ButAutistic It's very liberating. I think it's well worth doing, but in my case, I viewed it as more of a gradual 'coming aut' to something more natural for me rather than a sudden change.
How does it feel to teach during your PhD when you're autistic? One autistic person's experiences of navigating early career teaching: anautisticeyeingeosci.wordpress.com/2022/06/05/7-t… #ActuallyAutistic #DisabilityTwitter #AutismAwareness @AccessibleGEO @DiverseGeos @EDIinGeo @GeoForTheFuture
Saw an #Autistic student getting misunderstood and slaughtered for it again this week. Failure to understand one another leads to person in a position of power making 'an example' of someone with no power for something they didn't realise they'd done. This happens all the time.

Thinking about doing a PhD in Env Sciences? Like to 'try out' research? Why not apply for our @ARIES_DTP Research Experience Placements? These paid internships last 6-10 weeks: aries-dtp.ac.uk/study-with-us/… and we REALLY WELCOME applications from under-served minorities. 🧵

Benefits of Unmasked Autism #5 You stop being social when you are done being social omg, this is, so epic.
An Autistic Eye in GeoSci retweeted
@AutSciPerson The euphoria of really nailing a social interaction with someone who seems to understand how you work. And absolute silence, as and when required.
An Autistic Eye in GeoSci retweeted
The autistic experience of stating a neutral fact and being responded to as if there is an underlying, unspoken antagonism in your statement.
Let's talk autism and mental health. Some honest and frank experiences of poor mental health in education and academia, through the lens of an autistic person. Blog #6 anautisticeyeingeosci.wordpress.com/2022/04/15/the… #ActuallyAutistic #DisabilityTwitter #MentalHealthMatters #AutismAcceptanceMonth
@ButAutistic Absolutely. Sometimes hours, sometimes days, weeks, or even more. It's a bit like scheduling it in to handle at a later date, when I'm ready for it, constantly putting it off. I'm still 'planning' to deal with a particularly traumatic event from 2 years ago.
@achaoticcreator Yes, I spent nearly 10 years in as state of deep depression before I realised the origins of my fundamental inability to be well understood (or indeed understand). It's basically a fundamental 'language' problem, even when technically speaking the same language I think.
