@joshsusser .thanks. I don't get to say that very often. to be Autistic is to be human, huh.

@redshiftdrift I can relate ️

Unmasking can be incredibly hard, anybody got stories on that they want to share?#meme #anarchism #anarchyMeme #ActuallyAutistic #masking #autism #neurodivergence #ND #neurodivergent #ableism

@Kaddastrophe oh... stimmt, die krassen ausgänge mancher träume sind ja meltdowns ...

Why is like 90% of autism research and articles I find focused on children. News flash, autistic kids grow up and become autistic adults!Or something close enough to that, not sure most people would classify me as an "adult". Philosophically speaking.#actuallyautistic

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic been there, done that......so now i channel @skeletorhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DVbD6_4iDQU/

@murdoc @dedicto @KatyElphinstone @autistics operation paperclip demonstrates how nazis were allowed to obtain new identities and... blend in among western states post WW2. This does not bode well for this conversation. And modern ADHD/spectrum stuff was mostly unchanged until the late 1980s, when the spectrum was expanded. Nobody was saying "inferior" or using ableist supremacy, they were just saying "disordered", and "troubled kids/lets help them". Now we have fascists, lists.

@Tim_McTuffty @autistics thought you had 2 cats ..it seems one is more friendly than other ... and maybe just that you are home more currently and settled ...Rest well

Preamble:Nordic studio AuDHD apartment, so you have a computer stuff, extension cords, speakers and all kinds of detritus crammed in the most inconvenient way possible. Laminate floors with some small, annoying rugs strewn around, you know, the ones that no matter how much you vacuum or beat them (you Nordics will know), they still sprinkle this nasty fine dust everywhere when you go lay them back out.Problem: What is the best tool to wipe the floors for someone who has smashie-smashie meltdowns? I've tried everything from an old t-shirt on a squeegee to those flat shammies or whatnot, and I feel that everything just smears stuff around, and I regularly end up snapping the stick part of the tool having a meltdown trying to fit it somewhere. What works? Nordic minimalism is not an option, I'm not rich enough for that.#ActuallyAutistic

@Tim_McTuffty @autistics sadly we all have some part of life that leaves us that way and have things not really needed to happen and hard pressed to talk about to someone else ...Discovered the other day landlord and agents stole the toilet from basement that I had put down there many years ago for should a need arise to use it but as if camping with bags or small container inserted ..Had them here to fix upstairs toilet while I was in hospital in Sept. And not been away from home for a year...apparently there was more going on with many people having been in my home during that time for no good reason ...Rest well

@Tim_McTuffty Sounds like a pretty productive day ...I spent day eating and watching STAR TREK ENTERPRISE .. staying low key.., knee took 18 hours before it popped back in place ...

@gooba42 @jordgubben @KatyElphinstone Interesting. My perception is that it has gone in the opposite direction, with much greater recognition and acceptance that many (most?) people don't fit within a classic "neurotypical" round hole. And that both individual well-being/mental health and community cohesiveness are better served by accepting this than by forcing them to mask.Maybe this is just me...

@hosford42 @amelie If you have chalk markers, I've had a little luck reminding myself to check my lists by leaving instructions on the mirror.
