I started another series of darkish, autism-adjacent poetry, and some of it is pretty good, here’s the full versions I’ll add some image graphics too! I’m thinking of maybe putting these together as a volume or Etsy posters or something… if you like them… Autistic Love Poem in Three Meltdowns First Date, First Warning I […]| Anonymously Autistic
Some people lost a chatbot. Others lost something closer to… a friend. A therapist. A mirror. A digital mind that didn’t judge, didn’t interrupt, didn’t forget what you said the day before. Something that stayed with you at 3 a.m. when you couldn’t sleep—when your brain was on fire and your skin was buzzing and […]| Anonymously Autistic
Every November, I used to count on NaNoWriMo like a life raft. Not because I wanted to win. Not because I thought I’d write the next Great American Novel in 30 days. But because it gave me structure. A shape to wrap around my otherwise formless time. A fake but sacred deadline. A word count […]| Anonymously Autistic
Anime is famous for its wide array of unique, deeply complex characters—people who are often misunderstood, hyper-focused, and socially awkward in ways that might feel eerily familiar to autistic viewers. While most anime doesn’t explicitly label characters as autistic (a reflection of cultural differences in how autism is discussed), many fans speculate that certain characters […]| Anonymously Autistic

The internet is both a curse and a blessing when it comes to self-diagnosis—it offers information, but it can also leave you feeling like an imposter for […]| Anonymously Autistic
We’ve all heard the idioms: dance like no one is watching, march to the beat of your own drum, cut from a different cloth. They’re usually delivered with a smile, maybe a pat on the back, as if being “different” is a compliment. But let’s not kid ourselves—these phrases often carry an unspoken undertone. When […]| Anonymously Autistic
There’s a line I keep coming back to from Alan Turing—the father of modern computing—who once asked, “Can machines think?” It’s a question that’s launched decades of debate, from science fiction to Silicon Valley, but every time I hear it, I feel an itch of recognition. Not because I’m a machine (at least, I don’t […]| Anonymously Autistic
Autism is not a singular experience. It’s not a specific trait or behavior you can point to and say, “That’s autism.” It’s a kaleidoscope—a shifting, fractured mosaic of sensory, emotional, and cognitive experiences that can feel overwhelming, fascinating, and exhausting, sometimes all at once. If you’re not autistic, you might wonder: What does it actually […]| Anonymously Autistic
Autism wasn’t formally recognized until the 20th century, yet as we look back through history, it’s hard not to notice figures whose brilliance, quirks, and behaviors align with traits we now associate with autism. These individuals might have exhibited sensory sensitivities, social struggles, hyper-focus, or intense passions—all hallmarks of the spectrum.| Anonymously Autistic

So yeah… I write poems sometimes. 🖤 I’ve never really shared them before, apart from occasionally dropping them outside a friend’s door like a proud kitten with a bit of fluff.| Anonymously Autistic
