I know a lot of my mutuals are seeing what I share about being autistic and are liking what I post and that's great! There's a lot of resources I can recommend, so here's a little thread I'll add to and try to continue adding to when I find more!
I really recommend checking out Invisible I. Katy no longer uploads now but she still has some great videos! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2_a05o1pW4fr9SzlyMv8OA
(She also sells some incredible autistic acceptance merch https://weirdtriangle.com/shop/index.html#!/invisible-i)

Neurowonderful also posted a great series called "Ask an Autistic" and is very easy to follow while informative: https://www.youtube.com/c/neurowonderful/featured
The beautiful @princessaspien is an incredible advocate who still uploads and is also a stan!
She creates videos but also posts on TikTok which are short but informative videos

I also recommend my lovely friend and also a stan @emilylinka. She's a great friend but you'll also find great posts and retweets. She also has two adorable cats who deserve a place on your timeline!
In terms of understanding the abelism behind the puzzle piece as well as why we are AGAINST Autism $peaks, this piece is great. âŠhttps://intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/the-ableist-history-of-the-puzzle-piece-symbol-for-autism/?fbclid=IwAR1GVQvZZ2Bf_PSMHxsHU9SPKKmMmwHSQSLr0Jmhd7fcbTBMXa_8SxvpMjM
Watch this and take notes:
Explaining why Aspergers is no longer really used:
Functioning labels and why theyâre bad: a simple yet super effective TikTok!
Another one for functioning labels
âAutistic personâ vs âperson with autismâ and which you should say
The autism spectrum so beautifully explained once again by @princessaspien!
This is more for my fellow autistics, but how to recognise a sensory overload. This is what I struggle with sometimes!
And yes a lot of this thread is @princessaspien because sheâs clear, descriptive but to the point

I've mentioned functioning labels a few times, and I want to share this video about it.
This is about "high functioning" and "low functioning" and why you shouldn't use them.

A good video about stimming!
A video about passing (also known as masking)
Why you shouldn't support Autism $peaks
How you can be an ally!
This carrd is another good resource! https://neurodiverse.carrd.co/#main
Tone indicators to help those of us who struggle with tone. These are new to me so Iâve saved the list to my phone to refer to but I think this is super helpful https://toneind1cators.carrd.co/#list
Itâs a meme but also quick to show you some trash people who have done some shit to autistic people and why thereâs a lot of misconceptions about us
Well I just learnt that this is related to being autistic (itâs something I deal with) and I really urge people - especially my friends - to watch this
Why *that* movie is problematic before itâs even released
So letâs stop making us make eye contact
Another reason to stop using functioning labels: https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/large-study-supports-discarding-term-high-functioning-autism/?fbclid=IwAR31Hiqw0Yt8Ry4ZQ3pqZipWL28sHe034a9x0H0dBJBL3lm_1_zg2P_9-U8
Another good one from @princessaspien which answers Googleâs most asked questions about autism!
This is often a big problem for me
