Thick with the ‘tism – ASD Social Space

Thick with the ‘tism – ASD Social Space

Howdy forums fam, it’s your pal Jynx here to start up a new social space specific to folks with Autism Spectrum Disorder. ASD is often marked by unique styles of communication, unique life challenges, and unique perspectives on the world, so I figured it would be awesome to have a space for us to come together to share/chat/support each other!

This space is open to all who identify as autistic, including those who suspect they might be autistic but haven’t gotten a diagnosis, or want to explore the experiences and insights from other autistic folk to understand lived experience of ASD a bit better.

Allistic (non-austistic) members are also welcome, but please do remember to centre the voices of our autistic members and respect their lived experience. We’re not here to debate autism, we’re here to connect in a safe space.

To kick off the conversation I’d like to ask about everyone’s special interests! Mine is D&D – feel free to ask me about it and I’ll talk your ear off!

Please tag anyone you feel would be interested in joining this space!

💜😊👾

I've heard really good things about 'Unmasking Autism' by Devon Price @DogMan79 - I've been meaning to get around to reading it so can't say for sure but thought I'd share anyway 😊


@Jynx @mallory_strife

I'm slowly working through the audiobook

I actually purchased the e-book, but couldn't get in the flow of it

The book makes interesting points about autism and dissociation. Which is similar to what I'm currently working on with my psychologist. Hyperfocus and hypofocus bounce off each other
