Amal El-Mohtar
“Everyone wants to see a witch punish someone for stealing from her. A witch is a kind of justice in the world. It makes for a fine story. No one wants to admit the truth, for all it stares them plainly in the face."

"What's that?"

"Steal from a woman long enough, and a witch is what she'll become.”
Amal El-Mohtar, The River Has Roots

“Did you know that burnout is one of the causes of depression and suicidality for Autistic people? Do you know what one of the causes of burnout is? Not getting sufficient rest! Autistic people need a lot of rest. Indeed, the sheer amount needed can be frustrating. Yet the alternative—a debilitating burnout—is even less appealing. So one of the best things you can do for your emotional health is to prioritize rest. Prioritizing rest can be difficult for many people, especially those driven by an internal belief that you should be able to just “push through”—a notion often tied to internalized ableism.”
Dr. Megan Anna Neff, Self-Care for Autistic People: 100+ Ways to Recharge, De-Stress, and Unmask!

Fern  Brady
“I now understand that an aversion to holidays is extremely common in autistic people – the disruption to routine, the unpredictable nature of travel, the lights and noise of the airport and the extreme temperature change on arrival creates a special kind of sensory hell. Sameness is what I thrived on. I’m told that the appeal of holidays for most people is the novelty and break from the humdrum of everyday life. My family concluded among themselves that I was an arsehole. I didn’t know why I was so unhappy on holidays either, so I had no other option but to agree with them.”
Fern Brady, Strong Female Character

“For most autistics existing in a world not built for them, anxiety is the baseline and constant background hum that their daily life has to play over.”
Fern Brady, Strong Female Character

Fern  Brady
“The idea that meltdowns are manipulative is absurd and a cause of gross misunderstanding between autistics and the rest of the world.”
Fern Brady, Strong Female Character
