#Autistic people, c'est moi, are infamous for startling when interrupted while concentrating. I'm trying this gentle little tinkle bell to see if the spouse can use it to get my attention. An experiment in the cute and hopeful.

(the third one not so much anymore, but it is the sequel to the second one).
I find #educational value in those to bring #neurodiversity awareness to groups who want to be #diversity-#inclusive but are not aware (yet) of neurodiversity: Where there, too, can be diversity, and how can it look for example
Trauma GeekDiscovering a Trauma-Informed Positive Autistic Identity — Trauma GeekAutism is a hereditary neurological identity or neurotype.

Periodic reminder that this account is an #agentProvocateur, has recently added #autistic in the bio, and regularly uses inflammatory language to divide #blackpeople and #whitepeople using dubious stories.
>> law states that I must cycle 1.5m away from parked cars… Today a Karen… drove towards me and later a white driver… did the same. There are cases of pigs using their cars as weapons to murder Black People.
That amazing jump from premise to conclusion!
Mid-forties seems far too old to be contemplating being #autistic, but we are where we are. Not that it would really make much difference either way at this point
Autistic Coach “Fitting in” behaviors become a problem when we routinely don’t, or no longer can, align our internal reality with what we present externally.
.@SenLBR and colleagues tell Linda McMahon that "this administration’s attempts to shift IDEA responsibility to HHS will merely prevent the law from being enforced at all." #Autistic kids will suffer as a result. http://www.autismpolicyblog.com/2025/04/senators-oppose-scrapping-education.html

Looking forward to having an energy refueling day today i.e a crash day. Bit of nature, reading books, bit of favourite telly, freedom to stim, sensory loveliness (weighted blanket, smelling soap, nature's natural sensory calmers etc.). The sheer bliss of being unproductive to the rest of the world but very productice at minding my #Autistic self.

I was interviewed on TV today about being diagnosed as #Autistic aged 34, and compiling a book of essays by autistic people. In case it's of interest to anyone, here's the interview:
Many Christians can be harmful, especially toward autistic individuals. Their actions and beliefs often create unsafe environments for us. They are people we need to stay away from.

reading the original post, I first thought: I totally know this. As a teen, I was afraid other people on the bus might judge me for the way I was *breathing*.
And my next thought was: this is how #autistic people react to an environment that constantly punishes them for being who they are. The looks. The corrections. The fault-finding. The pressure to become invisible.
This is Dimming. Camouflaging. Chronic PTSD.
Has anyone a solution for wearing noise cancelling headphones and sunglasses at same time?
Currently finding the headphones are making the sunglasses dig into my head painfully.

Having some time off I realise just how much sleep I really need. It turns out it's about 10-12 hours a day.
