I'm a transgender and autistic man who's trying to get out of the shelter system. I write articles. Please consider buying one and sharing the links with a family member or friend. If you want me to write about something specific let me know!

The more I disconnected from negative self-talk, and the less I judged myself, the less I judged others and the more my compassion for them grew.

#AliyaRahman: “I was not just removed and arrested. I was arrested so physically that two other attendees upstairs attempted to intervene in officers pulling on my shoulders after I told them I have a torn rotator cuff tendon and multiple cartilage tears in both of my shoulders.”

Verbal shutdowns are the WORST. I'm with my little brothers rn and they're trying to talk to me. They can't read yet so I can't just write, "I can't talk" or anything so like. Idk how to communicate that I can't speak rn 😭

One of the things that can be important about overcoming past traumas is learning how to differentiate between then and now.
Like, “I’m thinking those things because that was true for me at that time but my reality is different now, and I don’t have to think that way and feel those things - those are feelings that belong to a different time and a place”.
This week I'm pausing on publishing a new article and promoting my current articles in my shop.
Please share the link and get yours today!

If you need links to resources on helpful topics for the Autistic community, or perspectives from Autistic people, I have a lot shared over on my website at: https://www.autismchrysalis.com/links/

Healthy communication is a more useful goal than trying to emulate neurotypical communications or neurotypical social skills.

I am not compromising who I am or what my truth is, and I’m not saying things just because society demands it.
upholding the dignity of those living inside broken bodies…
It can feel really tough to see people born with disabilities, but is that actually fair to think? Maybe our perspectives need a little shifting. Take a moment test your own point of view...https://thedignityofman.net/2026/02/23/upholding-the-dignity-of-those-living-inside-broken-bodies/
Anything new happen for silent Sunday I’ve been cleaning and doing chores most of the day almost done.
Does everyone else have an unusually rough time getting all they expect to get done in a day ?
😮💨.
I mean I’m grateful to get done what I do but geesh. Humans and cats are messy. Almost males me think of getting my own place and I would have so much more time in the day. Maybe Even enough time to her a 9-5 job working at the gas station

Past selves sought external approval or understanding. Current me trusts the only one who needs to understand my somatic signals and needs is myself. I am becoming a better, more loving steward of myself. ✨️💓✨️

Was going to keep today a Do Stuff day so I could zombie my way through that (recovering from being up several hours earlier than I'm used to & having to people & adult most of yesterday) so I can actually enjoy my duvet day tomorrow.
Enter fly in the ointment.
Tomorrow is more going out & peopling 😱. Then next weekend Saturday is more peopling & being social at friends' (shared) birthday.
Problem with this picture, Saturdays & Mondays are usually duvet days.
One positive is, I've already tackled today's adulting, phoning my Mam so hopefully she won't phone me later today 🤞.
Can I book my 12 month cryostasis treatment now!?
No, I'm not asking for a friend.

I figured something out today which I need to document...
As an #autistic person, why is being alone so vital for me?
It's because when I am alone, I'm NOT atypical, divergent or different.
I am only different relative to other people, and if they are not present, nor are my differences. I'm just me.
My differences are my biggest stressor, so...it's inevitable that solitude is the only environment that allows me to truly decompress.
Ever wanted a clear explanation of whether it’s overexplaining vs. autistic communication style? Wish granted:
