autism is extremely misunderstood — there are many successful autistic people who are brilliant and thriving, but their autism is ignored and erased. so, here’s something autistic people can use for positivity, and non-autistic people can use as a tool for understanding autism better

here’s a list of some famous autistic people:

• dan aykroyd
• satoshi tajiri (creator of pokemon)
• dan harmon (creator of the show community)
• adam young (owl city)
• vincent d’onofrio
  
• susan boyle
• daryl hannah
• temple grandin
• hikari ōe (composer)
• courtney love
• stanley kubrick

and here are some famous historical people from before autism was studied, who are theorized to be autistic/have been posthumously diagnosed as autistic through their writings and the writings of others about them:

• albert einstein
  
• mozart
  
• isaac newton
  
• charles darwin
  
• emily dickinson
• nikola tesla
• abraham lincoln
• tom wiggins (most famous piano player of the 1800s and a blind former slave)
  

and here’s a list of some canonical autistic characters (autism is mentioned in the story and/or the writer or actor has confirmed that the character is autistic) that aren’t harmful or inaccurate portrayals:

• abed nadir (community) — said repeatedly on the show and by the show’s creator dan harmon, who is also autistic
  
• spencer reid (criminal minds) — said repeatedly in interviews by the actor and hinted at on the show later on
  
• temperance brennan (bones) — said in interviews by the actress and the character was written to be autistic
• rich purnell (the martian) — said by the author of the book
  
• sonya cross (the bridge) — said repeatedly in interviews by the actress, and the show’s producers hired an autism expert (an autistic person) to help create this character
• rebecca blithely (strange empire) — said repeatedly in interviews by the show’s creator; written to be autistic but takes place before autism was studied/named
• alternate universe!astrid (fringe) — said in interviews by the actress
• lisbeth salander (the millenium trilogy) — mentioned in the book
• special mention: mike warren (graceland) — said on the show that he was diagnosed with ADHD as a child (autism is often misdiagnosed as ADHD and the two are very often comorbid), and he’s referred to as a “savant”
• special mention: wilson fisk (daredevil) and robert goren (law and order criminal intent) — both played by autistic actor vincent d’onofrio and have autistic traits
• plus here’s a list of autistic characters, but i have no idea if they’re good/accurate portrayals or not

Hypervigilance can cause fatigue guys. PTSD can cause fatigue, anxiety and depression can cause fatigue, Bipolar can cause fatigue, any and all mental illnesses can.

Please understand if youre mentally ill and physically or emotionally fatigued, that is not you being lazy! It is your body and brain being tired of fighting your illness! You are tired because youve been fighting.

This struggle you are going through is real, please do not let yourself or anyone invalidate you further by saying youre lazy.
