How many fellow Autistics have never lied on a job application, never lied on a CV, never lied on tax forms? 🙋‍♂️

Is doing that expected? Is it required? Is not doing that handicapping us? Do you too feel almost unable to do that?

@JeremyMallin
I've never lied on any of those. In my mind, the worst that can happen if I tell the truth can't be as bad as the worst consequence of lying.

The benefit might be good, but that's a risk for people who really want to win at money I guess.

In other news, I have pretty much convinced myself that I'm probably autistic.

What did you do to discover how you want to live and what you want to do in the next ten years?

There are just some mornings where I wake up and it feels like my brain and body are ringing the alarm bells that something is terribly wrong but I can't puzzle out why I'm overcome with panic and dread.

@spika
I also sometimes have panic attacks when I wake up. Or shutdowns, where I wake up but can not get out of bed at all. Mornings are tough.

If there were no barriers, and you had unlimited resources. What one thing would you do?

I would start an academic institution dedicated to the study and advancement of the neurodiversity paradigm and movement.

I would make sure every single human being on the planet is fed, housed, clothed and schooled.
