I have had a bleak week so far but I'm feeling a bit more with it this evening so here's a thing - please share to the world:

Most #autistic people will be mentally battered and bruised from a lifetime of intense stress - be mindful of this at all times.

Thank you.

Also, while you're here, #autistic people will often feel deeply ashamed and sad about their apparent 'inability' to handle the neurotypical rigours of the world, especially if diagnosed late in life.

Bear that in mind too.

And, if you're not too busy, remember that #autistic people usually are working extremely hard to appear to cope. If you could look into our inner thoughts while our face is serene and composed, you'd be in for a shock.

Finally, if you're not bored yet, just...

Just fucking give #autistic people a break, yeah?

Give them a break. They're really bloody trying.
