This is a simple truth. Free speech matters most when it comes to expression from the vulnerable, not from the hateful. https://t.co/wDhL2nnBxl— anildash (@anildash) October 28, 2022

Autism: I woulda rather gotten a diagnosis instead of "he's smart - he'll be fine" in elementary school & being left alone. #ActuallyAutistic— Brian Bella (@linksmonkey) October 28, 2022

Every abuse report I made to Twitter under its new leadership yesterday was rejected, saying that the accounts are not violating policy. Two were aimed at Black people, one was aimed at a Jewish person, each explicitly used the most common slur used to target those groups.— anildash (@anildash) October 28, 2022

At this point, @twitterbusiness should make explicit the current policy that hate attacks are allowed on the platform; it’s a material change that I expect would violate advertising agreements that have been signed.— anildash (@anildash) October 28, 2022

I'm just gonna do this thing for a while where I post screenshots of some of the antisemitism I get on this site on a regular basis. Not because I don't usually just block and move on with my day, but bc I want to surface what I think a lot of people don't realize is happening. pic.twitter.com/2fNUaCljLa— Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (@TheRaDR) October 28, 2022

Burnout + PTSD + cPTSD + homelessness = more burnout. I can’t go back to how things were. I’m too old. I just want some consistency.— joqatana (@joqatana) October 28, 2022

As someone who's written books on Autism masking *and* burnout: many people never recover from burnout. Burnout is a seismic shift in a person's priorities after those priorities have failed them & devastated their health. Getting back to the way things were ought not be the goal https://t.co/2r5bv8RykM— Typer Durden (@drdevonprice) October 25, 2022

Burnout is one of your body's final defenses against unrelenting, unsustainable demands. People who get burnt out frequently leave behind the life pursuits that caused the burnout in the first place, finding they no longer have any passion for it or the capacity to do it.— Typer Durden (@drdevonprice) October 25, 2022

if you're asking yourself "how do i recover from burnout more quickly," then you have probably not done enough to mitigate the life circumstances that caused the burnout. often, a burnt out person will need to radically reorient their life in order to recover, autistic or not— Typer Durden (@drdevonprice) October 25, 2022

Instead of striving for burnout 'recovery,' we might want to aim for burnout acceptance. Our old capacities & passions may never return. We may never be as capable of being exploited as we once were. We have no choice but to live in the present as our present selves.— Typer Durden (@drdevonprice) October 26, 2022

Burnt out people typically require months of reduced demands in order start healing -- Autistic burnout sufferers may require multiple YEARS of rest. Both groups are fundamentally altered by the experience and their motivations, energy levels, and resilience may never be the same— Typer Durden (@drdevonprice) October 26, 2022

But how does a severely burnt out person get that much rest, in a capitalist system where failing to be productive can quickly render you houseless and starving? That's the question we cannot answer alone. We have to collectively refuse to be ground up into a pulp any longer.— Typer Durden (@drdevonprice) October 26, 2022

Many people have a consistent fawn trauma response. Fawning is: people pleasing, appeasing, or just going along with people to avoid conflict. HERE’S WHY WE DO IT AND HOW TO HEAL FROM IT: 🧵— Dr. Nicole LePera (@Theholisticpsyc) October 25, 2022
