Aaron<p>PSA for NT folks:</p><p>If someone asks you to clarify your language, and you refuse because you think everyone else understood you, I have two points to make:</p><p>1. You are probably wrong and should be glad that at least one person bothered to speak up about it.</p><p>2. Even if you're right about other folks understanding you, the odds are not small that the person you just shut down arbitrarily is the autistic person in the group. We use words differently, which means we need more words to communicate effectively in either direction. You may not intend to, but you are effectively punishing that person for being different. This is a form of systemic ableism, and we get enough of that elsewhere, so please don't be like that.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a><br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>

SecondUniverse<p>Asking <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/actuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyAutistic</span></a> people... Do you have poor autobiographical memory? I often feel like I am traveling through a dark forest with a little lamp. I can see the trees just ahead and just behind, but everything else is darkness. I completely forget major life events, and others are very fragmentary or hazy.</p>
