Today’s eating-related discovery? Mood affects our taste buds. Positive moods can make our taste buds more receptive to sweet and less receptive to sour. Negative emotions do the opposite. Depression can blunt our taste buds. Anxiety, fear, and stress also play a role. 🤯 #ActuallyAutistic #ARFID #ED

Hello. I am 32 years old and I just learned that if there is too much meat on your sandwich, you can simply take some of the meat off of it. #ActuallyAutistic #ARFID

If you’ve made it this far, you have my deep appreciation. But if you’ve made it this far, you’re probably wondering what you can do to help. So here is a by no means exhaustive list of things to do:
1. Educate yourself. Follow #ActuallyAutistic content creators. Read NeuroClastic. Talk to autistic people.
2. Donate to groups that are run by #ActuallyAutistic people.
3. Support and amplify autistic voices on Twitter and anywhere else.
4. Educate others. Make sure they aren’t donating to hate groups. Make sure that they understand why it’s important to listen to autistic voices.
5. Be an ally. Stand up against ABA and other worthy causes like #StopTheShock. Educate people when you see them using a puzzle piece for autism. Tell NPR that Autism Speaks is a hate group and it shouldn’t let them sponsor radio stations.
6. And lastly, give an autistic person a hug. But ask first. /END

Nothing says Monday morning quite like a few dozen tiny scalp injections. 🥴
On the bright side, I'm finally going to get to try Opzelura! Insurance willing, of course. #Vitiligo #AlopeciaAreata

It has taken 3 years and 3 cancelled trips, but I’m super excited to get to go back to London for the first time since the pandemic! Especially to go play with LEGOs! #LEGOSeriousPlay

A few days ago, the family home of two of the best human beings I know was broken into and ransacked in NH. The police believe it was targeted attack and a hate crime. Donations and boosts very appreciated! #StopAAPIHate https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-wong-family-recover-from-burglary

It’s Monday, so let’s do this #introduction thing again!
👋🏼 Hi, I’m Alex!
♾️ I’m #ActuallyAutistic!
💼 I’m an #EngineeringManager at #Thumbtack.
⏮️ Previously at #Twitter, #Wayfair, and #Microsoft.
📱 Before I became a manager, I was an #iOS developer. #iOSDev
🎹 Classically-trained #pianist of 25 years. Working my way through #Beethoven’s 32 sonatas.
🥃 #Whisky enthusiast. The peatier, the better.
📖 I wrote a free #book to help people get into tech (see above)!
💻 I have a #blog called @CryingUnderMyDesk.
🐶 Doggy daddy to a Chicken Nugget (Nugget to his friends). #Mastodog
📣 I like to talk about #tech, #leadership, #diversity, #inclusion, and #autism. -
It’s amazing the difference a good grand #piano can make. I love my #Yamaha Avantgrand N2 — it’s a great piano and one of the best pianos that you can buy that’s not an acoustic grand.
I got to play the Appassionata at the flagship #Steinway showroom in NYC. It was a Model B. What impressed me so much was just how much easier most of the passages that I struggled with were with the Steinway. Whether it was speed, dynamics, tonality, etc., it felt easier without any major changes from me.
I’m still a #Bösendorfer pianist through and through (to the point where they were curious about how I knew so much more about Bösendorfers than Steinways, because “usually it’s the other way around” 🤣). But Steinway sure can make a top-tier piano.
I wish I could have recorded it, I would have shared it here.
