@LehtoriTuomo @actuallyautistic
I think your feelings are quite common amongst us. Not so sure how common they are among NTs, though.
I often feel it would be nice to reconnect with the (very) few people I've ever been close to during my life. Just as you seem to.

Awareness and knowledge are good, but there's always more. For example, EDS (and similar conditions) are common among people with #autism, as well as ME and other conditions.

I am an #autistic person with #autism. Every time this is mentioned, I see a different recommendation. I try to use the 'right' one, but there's always a different view.
From now on, I will stick exclusively to "#autist". 😤

I love the night, the peace and quiet, the stars and the tiny night noises...

"creativity is not impeded in autism spectrum disorder, but what is more difficult for #autistic people is the ability to be creative with the words of others during conversation"
Worth reading.

This is a nice news item. It's too easy to forget that many of us are non-verbal, some or all of the time.
-
Languages create & retain words we find a use for. So it's interesting to note the number of words for lying, compared with fairly few concerning honesty.

Is this a comment on #NT communication?

From the birdsite:
"i’m convinced that “gifted and talented” just means “undiagnosed adhd/autistic kid with a hyperfixation/special interest in something academic” so the teachers think they’re a genius, when really they’re just like everyone else lmao"
👍

This is my experience too. Not the details, of course, but the main points? Yes!
"I can finally see my life from my perspective and not someone else's."
-
"Words, in essence, don’t mean much. To work out the right interpretation of my words, you need to be able to correctly gauge what I wanted you to understand, or my “intended meaning”. We do this all the time with each other. "
Nothing too radical here, but a good read.

"Gustav Theodor Fechner championed the idea that plants have souls – something we might call ‘consciousness’ today."
Any interest, anyone? 🤔🙃

My take is that #autism is a genetic predisposition. Only when the neural pathways are laid down does it become actual, and permanent (life-long).
Our brains are the same as theirs, and most of the neural pathways too. But some of them differ, hence the differences between them and us. *Qualitative* differences.
#Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition.
IMO

#MS is an #invisibledisability. This means it's there, and it's real, but because it isn't clearly visible, people don't believe it's really there, or that we're 'putting it on'!
Believe me, it's REAL. And INVISIBLE too. 😢

@Uair @actuallyautistic @resistance_news
Yes, our entire world is directed toward promoting #consumption and #profit, with the aim of obtaining, maximising, and retaining #PersonalWealth (mostly for #Billionaires and the #SuperRich). It's that that is causing all of our problems, I think?

I have an appointment tomorrow, with a private clinic. I have no idea what they will ask; they haven't told me. I'm a bit jittery...

This is about #medicalcannabis in the UK, from the POV of the users, and how they get treated. More generally, we have been in need of #RationalDrugsPolicies for many years. 🙄
[The #WarOnDrugs has failed abysmally.]
Did you know #cannabis is about the ONLY remedy (that works!) for the #pain of #MS? 🤔 Other conditions too. Why are sufferers denied relief when it is so easily available? 🤔

We need to oppose all efforts to foist genocidal ambassadors for Israel onto our children, & into our schools. We don't allow war criminals there; why would we allow those who kill men, women & children, to steal their land?

"Liron Velleman, a former Labour councillor in Barnet, has pleaded guilty to a series of sex offences against a 13-year-old girl. Velleman, a well-known ‘Jewish Labour Movement’ (JLM) organiser, is just the latest senior figure in the Labour party pro-Israel lobby to be outed as a paedophile.
Velleman sent naked pictures of himself to the girl, asked whether she was a virgin, and asked her to let him see her in her underwear."

I'd never heard of "#Negritude". I have now. 👍
"The Negritude movement emerged in the 1930s. Led by black writers from France’s African and Caribbean colonies, the movement rejected colonialism and celebrated African culture and identity."

I always thought that, with five senses we were selling ourselves short. It's difficult to try to separate them all, to list them, but still, five was always too few — a simplification, at best.

"Beavers are not going to solve climate change, but our research shows these natural engineers can quietly help river landscapes store more carbon for decades to come."

We seem to be having a lot of difficulty telling the difference between #religion and #nationality. It's not hard:
#Islam, #Judaism and #Christianity are religions.
#Israeli, British or #Iranian are nationalities.
Don't use "Muslim" as a nationality; it isn't one. Neither is "Jewish".
There, that's much clearer, isn't it? 👍 😀

"The rapidly escalating climate/nature crises are set to make the UK increasingly dangerous, with extreme weather, risk of food shortages, price shocks, economic instability and rising geopolitical risks. We are alarmed by the #FossilFuel–funded #disinformation that has flooded Westminster and our media. The lack of accurate, science-based information has created a vacuum which has been filled by #polarised #headlines designed to DENY and DELAY action."
