Flirting like a lobster 🦞 + living with autism 🧠 – a short comic Have you ever been told: “You don’t look autistic”?

It’s about finding tools that fit our needs, not squeezing ourselves into someone else’s structure. Try new methods until one clicks!

Employment can often be a challenging landscape for autistic individuals. With distinct strengths and capabilities, they can thrive in various roles, but the traditional workplace isn't always structured to accommodate neurodiversity.

Strength in Focus: Autistic individuals often excel in roles requiring intense focus and attention to detail. They might outperform neurotypical colleagues in tasks that need precision or repetitive analysis.

Challenges: Autistic employees might face difficulties in environments with sensory overload or unstructured social interactions. They may struggle with abstract instructions or last-minute changes, requiring clear communication and a predictable routine.

The Need for Accommodation: Businesses must strive for inclusive practices. This could mean quiet workspaces, the option for remote work, clear instructions, understanding about social interactions, and flexible hours.

The Reward of Inclusion: Embracing neurodiversity can drive innovation and unique problem-solving perspectives. Autistic employees often show loyalty, reliability, and a high degree of integrity.

Let's work together to create an inclusive workspace that values neurodiversity. A world where everyone, regardless of how their mind works, can find fulfillment and respect in their professional lives.

Posted @withregram • @prismic.autistic Sharing this infographic I made after my second COVID vaccination, as I prepare to get my booster shot later today. My body’s reaction (body aches, chills, and headache), while normal and expected, was a bit of a rough ride. I hope this can help others in some way! Text in post reads: Autism and COVID 19 vaccination. Autistic folks tend to have sensory processing difficulties which include being sensitive to feeling unwell. Things that can help: Reduce/eliminate responsibilities for a day or two. Gather things you’ll need: Tylenol Ice for headache Plenty of water Foods that take little or no prep Cozy clothing or pajamas Any sensory comfort items Plenty of blankets Distractions, if you find that helpful After your shot: Get plenty of rest Stay hydrated Remember stimming can be a powerful coping tool Remind yourself this is only temporary, and so worth it in the end! #ActuallyAutistic #AutismCommunity #AutisticCommunity #ActuallyAutisticAdult #AutisticMemes #AutisticParent #Autistic #Autism #AutismAcceptance #AutismAwareness #AutismSpectrum #AutisticPride #AutisticAdults #Neurodiversity #Neurodivergent #Unmasked #SensoryProcessingDisorder #SPD #AutismAdvocate #Disability #Disabled #DisabilityAdvocate #DisabilityRights #AutismEducation #CovidVaccination #CovidVaccine #RedInstead #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs https://www.instagram.com/p/CXyq3pTFSUmEpxYcbFL5tpnUhxumPfLGd00iks0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Love this from @reframing_autism Give your child access to the Autistic community. Allow them to grow up knowing that there are many others out there with Autistic brains, who understand them, and who are happy and flourishing. 💛 #autism #autismacceptance #actuallyautistic #autisticpride #autisticandproud #autisticidentity #autismquotes #autismmemes #autisticadults #neurodiversity Image description: Multicoloured watercolour dots with yellow circle. Within the yellow circle, text reads: "Autistic children need Autistic adult role models. They need Autistic adults who are "out and proud" about their Autism."
