Two things humans need, to feel complete:
1. Connection
2. MeaningSome feel empty, bored, despairing, or pointless. Others go looking for success or money.
I think we are getting something wildly wrong, in our system & society !!

I've got a lot of friends and colleagues who are struggling with their children 'school refusing'.
I say, I don't call it 'refusing' and when they look puzzled I say, 'I call it voting with their feet'

Awesome symptom no. 8
Attention to detailAutistic people might pay a lot of attention to details, sometimes to the point of not seeing the whole at all (or at least not in the same way as others).
We may take longer to process things, but we're a bit less liable to quickly generalize things, when information is lacking, to come to a possibly-inaccurate conclusion.
We may notice things other people don't (while not noticing things other people do!).

Does anyone get sudden onset of sleep and, if so, have you ever linked it to certain situations, states of mind, and/or emotions?

Subject: Empathy
I want to hear your wild empathy stories! Or experiences.

Do you think main-carer parents should be paid?
It would be super useful, whichever your answer, to know WHY you think as you do on this question.

It’s estimated that if women around the world received minimum wage for every hour of their unpaid labor, they would've contributed about $10.9 trillion to the global economy in 2020.
This is more than twice the size of the global tech industry that same year ($5.2 trillion).

I’m so mystified by this logic 🤷♀️
Why assign nearly all the responsibility to those (often lonely & exhausted) parents?
There's a context! A critical lack of support and compensation for certain kinds of labor, most notably care work of any kind.
