"Defects" do not make you less of a human being. #AcutallyAutistic https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/genetic-defects-in-nerve-cells-of-autistic-children-develop-quickly-haifa-u-finds/ar-AA1eexac

A #homeless artist whom I know died recently. I only found out from a birthday banner at a place where he did most of his art yesterday. It's the 16th homeless person I know, the 7th #lgbtq and 9th known #acutallyautistic homeless person who has died on the streets these past 10 years. Nobody cares.

What are some of your special interests that energize you, and that you could do for hours?

But most likely my motif for participation was wrong in the first place.

I actually want to do an #autism diagnostic for myself and have someone professional AND empathetic assess my #parenting and children to determine if external help or advise is necessary or would be beneficial.

Often I am not sure what to categorize as „normal“ or „okay“ or „healthy“ anymore regarding e.g. media time, hygiene and nutrition.

Do you ever find it difficult to resist the urge to info-dump on your friends about a special interest?

Autistic secret tip;

Set up mediawiki locally. Use liberally. Forget about formats, "proper" wiki formats, etc. Just use it.

#AcutallyAutistic #Information

@KitB I wouldn't think so. (I never collated mine; they do vary in time, but then again I'm not #acutallyautistic, I only seem so often.)

maybe like other #acutallyautistic people, I have a whole bunch of things I'd like to research:
- growing algae in small spaces
- generative art
- how technology is used in Brazilian favelas
- Sudanese news

And trying hard to form habits:
- reading 15 mins before bed
- learning a language for 10 mins when I wake up
- playing a computer game after work for 30 mins
- exercise

Heute bei Wikipedia "drüber gestolpert":

Intro post time (this one's for pinning)

I'll probably be talking/sharing about #Politics #HomeEducation #HomeSchooling #ADHD #AcutallyAutistic #AskingAutistics #Parenting and #Community.

And, for the avoidance of doubt, black lives matter, trans lives matter, disabled lives matter, how you live *is* a political act, and the system isn't broken - it was built this way, which is why we need #SystemChange.

Is this why so many of us prefer cartoons and anime?
