@abbreviatednotinebriated Autism is not becoming common, because if you're autistic you're autistic without a diagnosis too. And the rate of new diagnosis is a good thing actually, it means more and more people can understand themselves better.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27th, 7 PM, OUR THIRD? MAYBE FOURTH??? AUTISTIC OPEN FLOOOOOR
are you autistic? Do you suspect you’re autistic? Were you diagnosed as a young child? Have you never been diagnosed and don’t care to get a diagnosis? You fit the criteria for the kind of performer we’re looking for! Show off your haunted doll collection! Rock back and forth in the middle of the room! Do that music thing you’ve been doing in secret but never felt safe enough to try in front of others! This is a judgement free space to express yourself and unmask! Autistic performers only, non autistics can attend and donate to keep our doors open if able
last autistic open floor was a blast, trust me you are missing out on serious talent, and a lot of fun!

Don’t you wish more social venues were openly and unabashedly autistic and supportive of autistic people?

I got to work a mile from home today, which was very nice. Tomorrow and Friday I'm in downtown Minneapolis, doing demo on a curtain wall. Come Monday, it's anyone's guess, plus I have a dental appointment that afternoon. I have a hard time sleeping the night before going to a new site, not knowing where I'll be after that makes it worse. I'd rather lose the two days of work than go through this. #ActuallyAutistic
I do this just fine on my own without any assistance from technology.
How about one that gives a mild electric shock every time I say something inappropriate?
@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic i've been watching the Mad About you 2019 revival season and the attached quote had some serious resonance…
…and it was by far one of the most uncomfortable 4 minutes i've ever watched
This Friday I will meet for the first time with a physiotherapist specializes in neurology. Not sure:
1) if we are going to be able to understand each other easily due to communication challenges (if you know, you know) amplified by being in my second language. But I could get help if a bilingual one is available.
2) if it’s going to be useful, but at least I want to try to get help with balance, coordination, posture, ec.
“How can a physiotherapist help people with autism?“
I've been using Todoist for my to do list, but am thinking about switching to a kanban board (Wekan for self-hosting) so I can group my daily tasks, my once a week tasks, and my other tasks into various columns and perhaps not have one huge overwhelming list.
Does anyone else use Kanban boards for to do lists?
Planned social interactions really give me a lot of anxiety. Like, anything where some sort of response is *expected* of me. It happens for any medium, too, but phone and video calls are the worst.
An #ActuallyAutistic moment of joy with Chuck Tingle. This was the second time I've seen him at an event (last time was for Camp Damascus) and y'all I legit don't have words for how inspiring I find Chuck to be.
But now that I know he's a Trekkie, well, next time I'll turn up in full Starfleet Trill drag. (
he also heavily related to Data on TNG)
Anywho, for the US crowd: if Chuck comes through your town it's worth it to go. But uh maybe show up extra early if it isn't a paid event
@ProPublica #Autism is NOT a #disease, & does NOT require a #cure, thanks awfully. #Actuallyautistic people like me would be VERY grateful if neurotypicals stopped treating us as untermenschen.
I saw by by accident the Time cover special edition about autism in a shop, didn’t have time to skim it.
Did anyone read it? I’m hoping that they *gave US the opportunity to talk about what it is autism, and not only experts or parents…
theory, dull and sad
I encourage you to create systems for easy food and water access because your body needs to have its needs met in order for your brain to be able to think and do the things that you’re doing.
[P] I had to search around a bit for it, but...

This study brought MoND into a clarity that dark matter lacks. In reading the article and comments, vis-a-vis dark matter there's a lot of talk of religion, stories, and foibles. I love a good story more than most, but proofs SHOULD NOT require stories. It's a very lemming thing to want to shallowly, reductively, romantically storify everything.
