My name is Ashley Lauren Spencer. I'm an AuDHD & neurodivergent entrepreneur, writer, and owner of The Autistic Innovator and the https://autistics.life mastodon instance.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. For a complete list of posts, browse on the original instance.

I feel this is true for all the people here on the fediverse in our autistic and ND communities. :RedHearts:

My instance https://autistics.life has been online since December 2022.

Despite the autistic name, we welcome all autistic and neurodivergent people to autistics.life.

We just got upgraded yesterday to a 2,000 character limit too.

If you’re looking for a small autistic & neurodivergent instance home, come join us! We’d love to have you. :blob_cat_melt_love: :RainbowInfinity:

Now that I'm spending more time on Mastodon, I'm realizing I don't follow enough people. Many of them are inactive accounts.

My feed is running dry rather quickly.

Who are some good people in the autistic and neurodivergent spaces to follow?

@alice @ashleyspencer should have known all you cool kids know each other. But I love it when a friend enthusiastically introduces me to a mutual friend, it's sweet and funny. Hope you felt the same way 😂

Guess what https://autistics.life!

We have a 2,000 character limit now!

Hosting company emailed me this morning with the good news!

No more threads for everyone. Yay! ❤️

@madeindex @ashleyspencer I'm bored and decided to reply cause I'm also curious, but I'm willing to bet it's masto.host. It's a managed hosting service that doesn't give admins access to the CLI, so anything done through the CLI needs to be done by Hugo, the guy who owns masto.host.

If it's not masto.host, ,maybe it's similar? Interested in the answer here.

I can deal with the trolls and people who take me not having a diagnosis like I personally offended them and committed an injustice. But that’s just nonsense.

Trolls are nothing but an annoying nuisance.

Even without a diagnosis, YOU are valid and don’t let anyone make you feel lesser than because of it. ❤️

I’ve seen so many autistics across social media feel like imposters when they can’t access an autism assessment. They get trolled like I do when I say I’ve never had an assessment. But they don’t deserve that. This is why I’m so vocal about not having a diagnosis. I want to do everything I can to help them feel proud of their autistic selves, even without a diagnosis. :heart emoji:

    @ashleyspencer I knew for years that both my daughter and I had before we ever got diagnosed. I won't question someone else's self-diagnosis. We know our bodies best. 🤘🖖
