I am a LGBTQIA+, Chronically-ill, Autistic teacher
And I struggle. I am a human being. Sure, I have good days and not-so-good days, where my pain flares up and I feel dysphoric and the sound of students makes me want to scream due to overstimulation. Sure I cry a lot in my free time, and sleep as soon as I get home, I forget to eat and drink. S

A person sits on a window ledge, looking out at city buildings, with text explaining that autistic meltdowns are a nervous system response to overwhelm, not a choice or behavior problem.

A person sits on a window ledge, looking out at city buildings, with text explaining that meltdown behaviors like crying or going nonverbal are due to overload, not control or intention.
What Autistic Meltdowns Actually Are (and What They’re Not)
Autistic meltdowns are widely misunderstood, especially in adults who learned early how to mask. When someone has spent years pushing through discomfort, overriding sensory strain, and prioritizing appearing “fine,” it makes sense that the system eventually reaches capacity. A meltdown isn’t a str

A neurodivergent content creator with split-dyed hair wears a black hoodie with rainbow text 'I can't even think straight,' introducing 'Things I Wish People Understood' from an autistic perspective.
The creator, with blonde and reddish-brown hair, shares her experience: 'I am so much different online than I am in person, or in real time. I struggle to get my thoughts out in person.'
The creator wears gold under-eye masks and a patterned jacket, holding packets. She expresses, 'I have awful imposter syndrome, and often wonder if I am doing this right,' reflecting her vulnerability.
My struggles as an autistic & ADHD content creator
As my social media accounts continue to grow, I am becoming acutely aware of just how hard it is to be perceived and judged by the general public. The more mean comments I get, the more I start to question my value and worth as a creator. At the core of my being, I know why I do this: For visibi

A woman in a black beanie and light-colored knit sweater, with text overlays discussing "SENSORY STRUGGLES" and questions like "IS IT TOO TIGHT?", "TOO LOOSE?", "SCRATCHY?", and "TOO HOT?" related to clothing comfort.
A woman in a black and white patterned fleece jacket, with text overlays about "SAMENESS." The text explains wearing the same clothing items, sometimes in different colors and patterns, but often from the same material for comfort.
How clothing effects me as an autistic girly
Honestly, I only leave my house a couple of times each week, and when I do, I like to look cute. But looking cute can also be comfy, which is something I require as an autistic ADHDer. My rules? NO scratchy tags, no jeans and no heels. I did that for a long time and all I got was grouchy and ove

Some might say, "if you're so overwhelmed, why did you have kids in the first place?" And truthfully? I had no idea I was autistic or ADHD before having children. How was I supposed to know I would be in a chronic state of overwhelm every day? And besides that, parents are allowed to

Workbook Review: Autistic Burnout 🥵
