Please stop calling me Autistic. I am "Amygdala ACTIVATED"

Autism is a fluffy made up term that means nothing. It allows anyone to treat us however they want. With medication that does not even touch our biological issue. We have activated Amygdalas. Its that simple folks. Ot really is. Trest the Amygdala and oir whole life changes.

  • I can only speak with authority from a very personal experience... but I have been treated significantly better in many respects in some quarters since my autism was recognised.  I know it's an uphill struggle sometimes, but when folk do stop expecting you to behave like a neurotypical and listen to what's setting off your sensory problems or more difficult to process, sometimes they adapt a bit and show a tad more consideration because now they understand there's a reason for needing that, not that I am just being awkward.
