10 years ago, I was diagnosed as autistic. Honestly, the whole thing was really challenging—mentally and emotionally. I'm still figuring our how my brain works and the journey has been tough Here’s some of the ways I've realised being autistic has shaped me #AutismAwareness

I’ve had the same job for a full year. For the first time ever. Enough of my needs are met so I’ve stayed. And my works good enough so I’ve not been told to leave. It’s almost as if implementing accommodations creates space for autistic people to thrive. I could be wrong tho.

Seeing some insensitive discourse around symptoms of ADHD. Differences in the way our mind works can throw off our perception. Depression can make us think no one likes us. Anxiety can make us feel frozen. ADHD, and even just basic optimism can make us mismanage time.

We recognise being autistic comes with additional skills and challenges. But it can't be discussed without taking into account our race and cultural differences. The neurodiversity movement is still 'all white', tokenism is rife.

ALRYT exists to add race into the all-white neurodiversity space. Through community, support, and education we will create a change. We will be community led so need your help to design our first event and start building a community.
