5 YEARS!
today my blog turns 5 years old, I'm realy proud of myself for doing this even tho I've had my ups and downs with this blog .

I wanted to write a whole blog for this occasion but I couldn't afford to fix my laptop ,so I dont think I'll be posting in the time to come, it's also the reason I haven't posted in a while. My laptop had issues with the keyboard it would spamm letters or they wouldn't work at all it's pretty hard to write a blog that way. Buying a new keyboard didn't do anything cause I couldn't turn the one build in off. The keyboard I got for my tablet also isn't working anymore.

I wil use this time to brainstorm for blogs to come and also read and watch stuff to learn how to write better blogs!

Over these 5 years I've written many blogs but also taken many down when I got that copyright claim on an image I used. Since then I am realy careful .

I started an amazing serie that im proud of called ace diversity where I let other aces share their stories to show the diversity .

Outside of my blog the ace mind also helps with other stuff, interviews, cals with people who want an ace character in their show, more interviews some of them with students for their school project and more. I love doing all of those things and can't wait to see what the future brings to the ace mind!

Disability Pride Month is a time to celebrate the strength and diversity of people with disabilities.

As an as*xual biromantic autistic person, I know firsthand how important it is to feel included and valued. It's crucial that we continue to work towards creating more inclusive ways of celebrating (q***r) pride for disabled people. Everyone deserves to feel accepted and celebrated, regardless of their abilities or s*xual orientation.

How cool is this!

CALLING ALL ACE CREATIVES!!!
We are entering into the early development stages of our first series of projects! We are looking to produce and fundraise stories centering the As*xual experience. Unlike what we have seen so far, we want the ground floor of this to be "by Aces for Aces," intentionally wanting the community to be intimately involved from start to finish. Already, our team has started writing two scripts for film, brainstorming ideas for a concept piece, and talking about music videos! The sky is the limit to what we can do when we work together toward more excellent Ace representation. Let's create something beautiful, beloved! Join our creative team, make your voice heard, and let's get to work. If you have a gift or an idea, we want to incorporate it.

As*xual woman fled home over forced marriage and 'corrective r**e' threats 20/04/2023

I got my ASD diagnosis in December 2021, learning this part of myself has changed my life.

Ever since my diagnosis I have been wondering about the connection between autism and as*xuality but haven't gotten myself a clear answer yet. Writing a blog about this has proven me difficult and since it's so important to me I don't want to rush it.

It recently was international women's day, something I found important on that day to share but didn't was the fact that women are often late diagnosed with autism. I was almost 21 when I got my diagnosis.
This is because a lot of things in Healthcare are based of man and boys and only recently has there been growth in diagnosis in women.
This matters to me because I know how much I've struggled with my undiagnosed autism and if I had gotten my diagnosis earlier in life my life could have been easier or at least I would have understood myself better earlier.

I can't wait to finish my blog about autism/ neurodiversity cause it's truly important to me.
But until then I'm glad to have shared this part.

So Tuesday I was on the radio trots again (dutch) I was there in 2020 which was one if. heleen is such a fun sweet radio but also Super intrested in understanding what as*xuality is. Time always flies by tho!
This time I was there with a fellow volunteer .boekhoudt which first of all just was so much fun but also it brought so much more to the interview. With each our own stories and ace identities we could explain the spectrum realy well.
It was truly an amazing experience I feel very lucky that I got to do this.
I'm not always the most active activist compared to others but moments like this realy spark that light within me give me the power to keep going♥️
But besides that it's just lovely to be with such amazing passionate people.

Saturday I went to
To walk in the parade with
I handed out all flyers we had with us, cause I find it very important that more people know what as*xuality realy is.
After the walk we went to the info stands to talk with some other organizations and make connections.
And after that got some food and danced for a little while before me and my twin headed home.

I love pride but with my autism it's very overstimulating, it's the reason I ended up not going to pride amsterdam. I was afraid that I would get overstimulated and get panicked and then Have to travel back a few hours. I even hesitated going to pride zwolle but im glad I ended up going cause it was an amazing day. Yes I got sensory overloaded and am still recharging but I did gain an amazing experience.

To start of november I am introducing you to she is joining the ace mind as a proof reader.

You can read her introduction blog through the link in my bio.

Here a short introduction:
My name is Rebekah (She/Her)
I am from the USA
Born April 5, 1997

I currently identify as biromantic as*xual and am passionate about building and connecting the Ace Community both online and in person as much as I can.

I am an Engineer by day and sometimes night with the way grad school is going but I am always a nerd for fiction, fantasy and table top roleplay whenever I get the chance.

I first identified as as*xual in 2017 and have been learning more about myself and the community ever since. I’d love to help others on their own journeys as well, learning and growing together as we go!

-Rebekah

I am extremely excited to work together.
Please check out introduction post in my linktree.

💜Ace Diversity💜
A while ago I created a new project called ace diversity. I got no entrees and I feel like that might be because the document expanding it was a bit long.thats why I created these images to explain it.

The idea is to create a blog series in which I share the stories of as*xual.
The point is to show the diversity in the as*xual community.
And the show how experiences differ for every as*xual.

My blog is written from my point of few (s*x-repulsed, biro-ace, white, 20, dutch, cis-female)
Even tho I try to informatie people that it is my experience and that it differs for every as*xual I do feel like it would be great for people to read stories from different experiences.

Any as*xual can join but I am especialy looking for people who are demi, grey, aromantic, not white, older or younger then 20, s*x favorable or s*x indiverent.
People who break as*xual stereotypes. People who use as*xual microlabels.
This is about diversity so I can't name everything here But hope some people will read this and wanna share their story.

If you have questions be sure to ask me!

♡Joëlle, The Ace Mind♤

In fictie zijn er vaak personages die geïnterpreteerd kunnen worden als zowel aseksueel als autistisch. Voorbeelden zijn Sheldon Cooper uit The Big Bang Theory of Sherlock uit de gelijknamige BBC-serie. Dit zorgt voor allerlei vervelende stereotypes. Maar wat nou als je zelf zowel autistisch als aseksueel bent? Ben je dan een wandelend stereotype? Onze vrijwilliger Peter beschrijft hoe hij de intersectie van aseksualiteit en autisme ervaart.
Lees hier zijn blog: https://aseksualiteit.nl/help-ik-ben-een-stereotype/

Meer informatie over of ervaringen met autisme zijn te vinden op de site van de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Autisme (autisme.nl) of AutiRoze (autiroze.nl). Daarnaast zijn er tijdens de International As*xuality Conference 2021 ervaringen van mensen op zowel het aseksuele spectrum als het autistische spectrum gedeeld tijdens het 'Aces & Disability'-panel (link: https://youtu.be/z0Y5AiulyM4 ) en het 'Neurodiversity in the Ace Community'-panel (link: https://youtu.be/AONn4KgDGCE).

[Omschrijving foto]
Op de foto staat een tekening van de aseksuele vlag met een oneindigheidssymbool in de kleuren van de regenboog op wit papier.

De aseksuele vlag ziet er als volgt uit: 4 horizontale strepen in de volgende volgorde van zwart, grijs, wit en paars van boven naar beneden.

Het oneindigheidssymbool in de kleuren van de regenboog staat symbool van de autistische gemeenschap.

De foto is schuin van voren genomen. Op de foto zijn tevens meerdere kleurpotloden te zien boven de tekening. De potloden zijn onscherp in beeld. De potloden liggen op en naast elkaar en er zijn zowel botte als scherpgeslepen potloden.
