Here in the #Philippines, there is a growing "trend(?)" amongst families with #Autistic daughters: Creating a Facebook Page and sharing their autistic lives.
We all know for years that autism discussion and research is mainly dominatid by [white] autistic boys and men. Filipinos are changing this. -
Have you heard the saying, “eat the worst first and save the best for last”? I internalized that so strongly as a kid, I let it rule most of my life. But now, I think it’s fundamentally flawed.
Because if you’re starting off with the worst, you’re setting yourself up for thinking that the whole thing is going to be terrible, so of course you’re not going to want to continue.

I tried fitting in, then standing out, and performed in order to earn acceptance. When it didn't work, I tried all of those things harder.
Until I couldn't anymore.
I burned out. Collapsed. My body said "no more."
For which I'm eternally grateful. Because that forced me to try something different. Something new. Something that ultimately transformed my entire life.

Guys outside dismantling four storeys of scaffolding. I don’t think it’s possible for human beings to create any more noise (without extreme machinery) than dropping scaffold for hours on end. 😬 My everything is jangled. ⚡️🧠⚡️

#Today #3Things #HappyWifeHappyLife
1. Wife's new part-time gig (financial advisor) means various Teams-based training sessions and I don't think either of us were ready for big slabs of her time to be suddenly swallowed up in ways not of our choosing. Hopefully this phase will pass.
2. ATM she's struggling on an #iPad with a bluetooth keyboard in a folio case thing, but a moderate laptop would definitely serve her much better than a glorified phone. Now looking at reconditioned #Thinkpad listings.
3. Her employer has made all kinds of dumb IT decisions. Just 1 example: they insist on using corporate Google mail (gmail with a domain), but their IT security policy won't allow the iOS and iPadOS apps to be used so she has to use it in a browser, and that browser has to be CHROME. My poor iPad...
This kind of thing makes my #autistic brain explode so I'm giving her perhaps less IT help than I could in theory, but honestly when companies don't do IT right (and there IS a right way to do it), I'm liable to #meltdown very quickly. -

Are the people of fedi (especially us #neurodivergent and especially especially #autistic) aware of "it's a superpower??" https://thedailytism.com/podcast/ ? It's a audio sitcom by the great people at the @thedailytism.com I listened to the three episodes out so far and each one is better than the last (but they started out great already). Yes there are transcripts for all of us with audio processing disorder.
They have way too much cake, toilet monsters, legally distinct not transformer cars... -
Latest ND same food/safe food: jacket potatoes cooked in the air fryer. I'll eat them for days/weeks/months until my AuDHD brain decides it's had enough.

Joa... manchmal hilft nur noch ablenken, bevor man vollkommen auszuckt..
...wobei manche Exemplare von Menschen wirklich darum betteln, dass sie von meinen Drachen gefuttert werden ;) -

If physical sensations and emotions have seemed non-relevant to you, the way they did to me for most of my life, here's an idea worth considering. 1/3

I like that I've at least gotten something out of being othered so often throughout my life.
Because I can understand what it feels like. And so I'm more empathetic and accepting of other people who aren't like me.

As a #transgender and #autistic man I write articles and create content for a living. When noone wanted to hire me simply because I'm trans and autistic in my area I decided that #writing and providing online services would be best for me, by supporting me monthly you equip me to freelance and do more with my life. You give me hope and a purpose. To keep fighting even when the world is trying to erase me.

Maybe there's a reason you're not doing that thing.
Maybe there's a sensory issue. Maybe it's overwhelming your nervous system. Maybe you physically or cognitively don't know how to do it.
So your brain defaults to just not doing it. 1/2

Cuando descubren que el oso se ha quedado dormido como un tronco después de un duro día de trabajo, sin siquiera esperar a que le den de comer. 🐻💤
(When they find that the big farm bear has fallen asleep like a log after a hard day's work, without even waiting to be fed.) 🐻💤

Even though I’ve been unmasking, and sorting out my internalized ableism and internalized capitalism, and other unhealthy cultural messaging, for around eight years now, I still routinely find new aspects to unpack.
I found another big cluster recently and would like to share that with you.

Tired: Doing our kid's clothes washing
Wired: Helping our kid with their clothes washing
Inspired: Being 'on hand', and casually chatting, while they get on with their own clothes washing.

So many of us spend our entire lives being misunderstood. And then we finally figure out we're Autistic, and there's finally an explanation. A reason why. There's relief that it's not just me, it's not that I'm broken, but that I communicate differently because I'm Autistic.
That matters. A lot.

Here’s why it’s important that #autism is considered a disability. When I applied for both #PWD and the #DTC when I became an adult, only PWD approved me and the DTC rejected me, as they said being autistic is not a disability despite the fact it very much is a disability to me, as it can make communicating challenging for me. Fast forward 8 years later, and I was diagnosed as a type 1 #diabetic, which the DTC considers as automatic approval criteria, so I applied again and this time, I got approved. The thing is, while #diabetes can be a disability for many especially with difficult to control #glucose as well as the financial cost with all the supplies and #insulin needed to manage it, I’ve not found it anywhere near as disabling to me yet compared to being autistic. So if #type1diabetes automatically gets you on the DTC, why is being #autistic not considered a disability despite the fact it’s prevented me from getting a job to financially support myself? This is very much why I am against it when advocates claim autism isn’t a disability, or when people try to replace the term with something like “#diverseabilities”. Because a #disability is after all something that prevents you from doing something, and the term reflects that accurately. #disabled

There are limits to what you can do. And those limits aren't necessarily a bad thing. They can provide structure, reduce overwhelm, enhance focus, offer clarity.
If you can only do so much: what matters most to you? What's busy work that doesn't have as much meaning or impact? What's within your current capability? What's one thing you can do today that will matter?

There's so much fear on different platforms, and it's exhausting to keep up so allow me to keep you up to date without having to face trolls and discrimination and fear and hate. Want to see if what trump posted is really him but don't want to go to truth social? No problem. On the discord I have a Channel all about him. Want to follow news but missed it? Also a channel for news.

While I think this kid in The Carman Family Deaths is guilty of at least one of the deaths if not both (probably both), it drives me insane how much of the stuff his family who thinks he's guilty label as suspicious behavior that is literally just him being severely autistic. Basic, normal ass spectrum stuff. Had anybody ever truly cared about the kid enough to read even just one book about living on the spectrum, they'd be able to understand that.
