We as autistics have a lot of internalised ableism. We wouldn't expect people to cope with what we do, but because its us we just get on with it, slowly breaking and losing pieces of ourselves on the way.

Why is it that if a child is trembling with fear, vomitting in panic & self injuring in meltdowns NOT to go home from school it would be a concern BUT if the child is in that state at home about going TO school, the schools don't care & urge the parent to force the child in? 1/5

I'm often asked "But does ABA 'work'?". Oh it works, it smashes your autistic childs esteem & moulds them to mimic neurotypical behaviour whilst in constant fight or flight. PTSD for life & no awareness of rights or autonomy. Susceptible to grooming. Is that what you want?

The reason is simple. The school gets up to £5,000 per pupil they have in attendance. They are a business. Their job is to get a good rating by Ofstead hence why many schools are telling parents with challenged children to keep them home on Ofstead inspection days. 2/5

When someone states "I am autistic, but I am very high functioning", you have to ask yourself why they feel the need to differentiate. 'High functioning' as opposed to what exactly? Internalised ableism is a tragedy to behold....

The reason many autistics find social media easier than face to face social interactions is: No facial expression/body language to read. No immediate need for reply (unless arguing with anti vaxxers 😉) And lastly you can run shut it down & walk off with no need for excuses.

If you are watching tv with an autistic person and they suddenly scream and sign "Turn it down!", turn it down. It means that to them it has increased in volume and is PAINFUL. They have had the courage to communicate that, so hear them.

Knowing you are autistic gives you the 'permission' to wear sunglasses in the cinema, to take a blanket for weight on your legs & to stimm by eg. rocking or playing with your hair freely. This is why recognising & validating is so important, diagnosed or not. Listen to your body.

Thank you to all who have supported me and continue to support me through this. Five years of hatred, this piece was so needed, I've been accused of campaigning to 'be popular', for 'ego, fame and phrama shill pay', and 'because I enjoy the attention'.

Parent: Isn't it amazing how all autistic kids are so different? Me: Yes amazing! It's almost as if they are individuals or something....

Did you know it's legal in the Judge Rotenburg Centre to use electric shocks on autistic teens? Were you aware that filicide occurs regularly or that parents are reguarlt let off with no prison sentence? That autistic kids, teens & adults are being raped with bleach enemas?

When you hear there's an 'autism awareness' talk on 'living with autism' but non of the speakers are autistic.... Thats the equivalent of a white cis male speaking on behalf of a Black Lesbian group. Stop it.

You know what I'm dreading? Telling someone I am autistic, and getting the reply: "Oh like that kid in Sia's film Music? Really? But you are nothing like her?". Fuck off.

None of that matters?! What matters is the CHILD. That he is being abused for his neurological make up! Why does the parent & their feelings come into this? Stop it. 2/2

Lizzy made this film in honour of her younger autistic sibling Michael, a teen we have had the pleasure of meeting at our social groups. See it the first chance you get! I urge everyone to send a follow to: Trailer:

I live with autism apparently, I've looked everywhere, can't find it. Not under the sink, not in the wardrobe and not down the back of the settee.... I've been told I have autism as well? Can't find that either..... Ah well what would I know eh? #ProblemsOfLivingWithAutism
