I didn't 'fake autism to be quirky' I incorporated quirky into my autistic personality to fake neurotypicalism

This is a talk for ADHDers from an NT—not more “have you tried trying??”, but instead understanding and love ❤️ youtu.be/axIDDiZsM78?...

There was a time, pre-Elon, when Twitter was great for breaking news. A major event is unfolding in New Orleans, and I can barely find it here.

Instead of going to therapy people are out here trying to bring measles and tooth decay back
A group of North Carolina residents who call themselves the “fluoride fighters” are convincing city leaders to ignore the testimony of medical professionals and ban fluoride in the county’s water system “I don’t consent to adding fluoride to my water” wsoctv.com/news/local/union-…

it’s a good time to check your settings for auto-playing videos, there are some horrific ones on the tl today 😔 (i’ve always had mine set to never auto-play and it “somehow” -cough elmo cough- got switched to “when on wifi” 😡)

AUDHD PPL!! How many of you have a lot of special interests (SI)? & do u have hyperfixations unrelated to ur SIs, or are they connected? I find that a lot of us have more SIs than non-ADHD ASDers, & more specific hyperfixationd than allistic ADHDers, so i’m curious how true it is
76%I have more than 2 SIs
24%I have 1-2 at a time/ever

Autism is a very wild developmental disorder. Its like the wild mushroom of disorders because you dont know what you about to get out the muthafukka.

➡️ it’s not gossip unless it’s malicious. rather, it’s de-briefing to learn continuously about neuronormative interactions & personalities. it’s a key self-accommodation, esp for autistic people 🌈💫

She never should have even been in a position to get killed on the job. Our elders should be taken care of, not worked to death.

Last new @unstandardizedE episode of 2023! Talking to a group of brilliant students about the way they were unfortunately mistreated at a conference when presenting on race and language. They're out there doing the work. Enjoy, and happy holidays! playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=CDL…

Controversial question: why is "the world is full of idiots", a common thread? Had a colleague tell me today - "I need you to defocus from people." She could see me get more and more and more frustrated the more people couldn't see what I was saying.
guy in my book who’s been evaluated for ‘every psych condition’: “I wasn't depressed. Not anxious. I just lived with a simmering cauldron of rage and contempt for the assholes and idiots of the world, and that took up a lot of my time.” …so they missed the autism then 👀😏

“…I did have feelings. A whole fucking lot of them. So many that I had to be selective about the ones I'd let in on any given day. If I wasn't careful, I'd find myself consumed by feeling everything, all the damn time.” i mean
