“As an autistic, I often feel forced to code-switch, to switch between two different types of behaviour: my own and that which is socially desirable.”

“The need for structure is often misunderstood by outsiders, and even care workers. Ironically, they tend to interpret the need for structure a bit too literally, and they think everybody benefits from a daily schedule that’s been planned to the max. The notion that people with autism might experience more stress due to a day that’s been planned down to the hour (because the more that’s been planned, the more that can go wrong) is lost on them.”

“Before my executive functions start to jam, a stream of thoughts and stimuli is set in motion that no amount of filtering can remedy. You could compare it to one of those machines that shoots out tennis balls, except that it’s set to Serena Williams while I’m here having my first tennis lesson. With every tennis ball that zooms past me, the adrenaline rises. That’s how it works when someone with autism wants to tidy up.”
