Mangoranges the Artist
My name is Yours. Peak into the world of an autistic, filmmaking artist: Mangoranges is all about opening up and having honest conversations about Neurodiversity, Mental Health, Blackness and Queerness but what stands out is the holistic / intersectional approach we take. Through Vlogs and Art Films I share how I deal with overwhelming emotions, sensory difficulties and my experience of being human on this strange NT planet. As a black, neuroqueer, multidisciplinary artist/-dancer I am trying to share content that I would have likes seeing growing up. REPRESENTATION MATTERS & I did not come to play. The vibrant hues & evolving mood of the cinematic short films, translate the immersive beauty I can feel through my sensory differences while exploring this realm.
Kinda hard to describe, well....
...see it for yourself..

I wrote something for you..
Welcome to Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month 💙
April 2nd (world autism day):
I had a terrible day with beautiful support of caring mental health professionals. I've been trying to work with my needs & brain, not against them. But today the tears were bigger & more than on other days. And that is ok. It's just not easy living with hidden disabilities & frustrating to not have all the words to express my needs and accommodations I require . Furthermore, the words to explain to people ,what this means in my case in the first place and why they can't see it. (maybe at first)
So yes I am still grieving the fact that, what I thought were symptoms of illnesses that one can recover from are in fact parts of lifelong disabilities. Or should I say side effects of living with serious, for long , undiagnosed conditions and being punished for it. Or maybe both. Misdiagnosed. Undiagnosed. Rediagnosed.
Punished for simply having a different brain with different needs that requires a different specific kind of care environment and support in order to be ok and thrive. A neurodivergent brain in a black femme body❤️
🧠 that requires very different interventions than mental illnesses, which you were taught to fight. Fighting to change my own brain, that needed ACCEPTANCE not molding and changing. Acceptance and Compassion. & emotional regulation skills (which I got- thanks therapy;)
Compassion That I owe it so deeply.
🧠💙 I am grateful that now, I know. And am finding ways of what can be done
so I can be okay from day to day ❤️ ( autism specific interventions & accomodations really changed my day to day life)
All I want
is to feel content.
🧡This is a reminder🧡:
Being disabled is not a bad or a good thing. It just is.
It is part of the human condition.
And that's what you and I are humans being, isn't it
Anywhos, take care dear reader :)

Today my teenage golden gurl is not in a good mood..we slept next to each other, snuggled up all 🌌😊. But she's about to get her next period and is in pain I think. Getting her out of bed is impossible for now. Rest up babygurl #ruesadventures #goldenretrieverdiaries ✨💛

Hi mangoranges fam, here are some cute moments I wanted to share with you.
+ see autism books I've borrowed from the library 📚
🦚I recommend the middle blue one(Francis Tustin) and the blue turquoise one. (It's in german & very very nicely written- letter format)
Caption by Rue:
Hi community I am Rue Bennet - I.
my name was inspired by "euphoria" the series. I am a 2.9 year old golden retriever teddybear, small lion 🦁, cow, support dog, child & familiar of Mangoranges.
Many don't know this about me:
I have real strong auditory anxiety. Meaning I am very sensitive to sound & noise. I can't "just go out" with my mum cause my body freeze or flight responds. But as my self confidence is growing so is my curiosity in the world around me. I explore a little more, every day ❤️🦮
Take care fam 🦮❤️❤️🌚

So we released a really cute video on: ALLOWING MYSELF TO BE MY AUTISTIC SELF - aka Sharing Ways You can Learn to Waste less Energy on Masking your Autistic traits.
🌸🧠🩷Unmasking as a high masking , late diagnosed autistic, entails so many layers. And my goal with this video =inspire you to embrace and accept that you're autistic.
+ or if you're allistic = to Gain a deeper understanding of why #autists act how we act.
+sharing tips that help me.
Why the vertical format? I am trying to make youtube more accessible to me, thus focusing on short storytelling which sometimes happens to be vertically recorded clips that still have an informative youtube video feel - is something I'm experimenting with.
Also so the algorithm can pick up on the type of content and who to recommend it to. #audhd #unmaskingautism
💭💡I wonder 💭 if you got any useful tips you wanna share with me & each other in the comments that help you finish projects you like so someone can benefit from it :) 💁🏽♀️? NEW VIDEO HERE ⬇️⬇️⬇️😁🧠🫶🏽 enjoy 🍇✨✨✨✨🌹

Recently Life, my videos, Livestreams & shorts have been all around the topic of change. Interestingly... my perspectives on change are constantly changing and right now it is: there is no 1 "right way" or better way of dealing with it. My inner wise one says: just listen to your human design and intuition. What does yours say?

Oops, might have missed autistic pride day! How utterly adhd of me! Hahaha *laughs im old posh British lady*
Seriously I wanted to recommend one of my favourite autistic advocates to you @autienelle - who is very active 💜 on ig & her website - the first 4 pics are hers.
The last one is a making fun of & simultaneously serious 🧐 acknowledgment of the double standards, Misogynoir & blatant bullsh!ut of men & the deeply ingrained queerphobic, ableist standards in societies (worldwide). We all have to consciously unlearn them in our brains individually & together. Or continue as so while making each others and our own lives more miserable and harder than need be! It's your choice... that you make for your self. And remember not making any choices - is still making a choice.
