Autistic Inertia
I have a new article out in APS Observer
Brilliant and helpful article by Hari Srinivasan, an academic researcher and expert by experience. Thank you for broadening our knowledge, Hari!!
Highly informative article, Hari. I wish I had encountered this as a resource many years ago. Thank you for publishing it.
The fear of retaliation or further marginalization discourages many autistics from seeking the accommodations they desperately need.
"There’s a danger in misunderstanding and misrepresenting the autistic community, with interventions possibly imposing neurotypical standards of happiness that feel inauthentic or unrelatable. We must ensure that positive psychology reflects the true diversity of autistic experiences and does not oversimplify our needs." - Hari Srinivasan

New Paper Alert - Anxiety in Autism

Beyond Common Reassurances of "Its OK" - The Reality of Anxiety in Autism
"For many autistics, anxiety isn’t just an occasional system alert—it’s a back-
ground process running at max capacity, constantly consuming resources, leading to overheating, and at times, triggering a full system shutdown (meltdown)... Instead of expecting autistics alone to constantly overclock their processing power just to function, we need a fundamental shift in the
base model’s architecture itself."
This article really resonated with me — it captures Autistic anxiety authentically, holistically, and compassionately. I’d highly recommend reading it (if you have access to Autism in Adulthood).
It underlines why schools so often generate anxiety for Autistic children: they function as an intensified microcosm of society, inherently anxiety-evoking in their structures and demands.

Languages carry with them differing ways of conceptualizing ideas, emotions, and social interactions

"Relentlessly pursuing a disabled person’s greatest sign of 'success'- independence-might be the very thing that’s setting many autistics on a path towards profound loneliness"
