Over the summer, I ran a workshop for autistic folks and those who support them called 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙: 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄𝙩 𝙄𝙨, 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙄𝙩 𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙨.

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1044 , Sunday 06/09/2026
Well that was an utterly unremarkable day.
The repairs to the leak in the hot water system seem to be holding, which is a relief, I’ll put everything back together tomorrow.
We watched the first ep of ‘Star City’ this evening, if you liked ‘For All Mankind’ then I am sure you will enjoy this offshoot!
Final Thoughts.
I wish I had the motivation to do more, but it seems in frighteningly short supply at the moment.
Meanwhile the world spirals towards chaos & there seems to be little one can do to stop it.
When thugs in black tops & balaclava’s can terrorise Dover with impunity but vicars who peacefully protest against genocide are imprisoned as terrorists the world seems to be a place where little makes sense!Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

how Autistic people can save Humanity
because everything must make sense to us, we are a filter for unquestioned, agentic garbage. ("agentic" is Stanley Milgram's term, and everyone on the #Fediverse should be using it; he was hard-core antifascist)
and while there is a lot of obvious value in filtering out garbage (beyond thanklessly) the compounding sociocultural impact of those who internalize that things must make sense is the ultimate humanity-saving feat.

Why Autistics Feel Like They're Always in Trouble
-
A client came to me about her teenage daughter. The mother said the girl had always been able to handle things, and they “just weren’t handleable anymore. Not the sound of people chewing. Not the neighbor’s lawnmower. Most foods were suddenly off limits because she couldn’t stand the texture.”
Nothing changed in the environment. What changed is that the filter between stimulus and overwhelm was gone. 1/3

[P] Enjoy every day, okay? Just have fun. Don't be irresponsible with resources as that'll just speed things up, but certainly do relax and take it easy. Don't work too hard or plan long term. Don't bother having kids. I'm telling you, as a mind able to grasp this, that there is no future. These are the last good days we have, so don'tnswuander them. Do what you enjoy. The end is scheduled sooner than expected, faster than expected.

[P] Lots of huves of buzzy-buzzy bee-simians getting all riled up, smashing windows, screaming, and flailing. It's what hiverarchians always do in response to a threat. They'll riot as it all comes down around them, each day resulting in more and more violence because hiverarchians are nothing if not astoundingly vacuous, shallow, and hormonal. So, yes, lots of rioting! All that rioting as it all collapses. It's going to be terrible.

[P] If the AMOC goes? You're looking at a chain reaction with loads of other currents across that wholly interconnected system. And when THEY fail, the oceanic ecosystem begins to fail. And if THAT fails, then a huge ext8nction event is assured. Including humans, yes, because hiverarchian drones have grown too stolid in their fetishes for tribe and hierarchy to be ANY kind of adaptable anymore. They'll riot, of course. They always riot.

[P] Oh good. The AMOC collapse is going to be as catastrophic as I feared. I read an article by a geoup of scholars that setup a timeline and... it's exactly what I expected. I'd ask "Why can't I be wrong more??" but I know what's to blame. I'm introspective and I think about chain reactions a lot. The earth is an organism like your body is, gaia hypothesis et al, and nithing—I stress, nothing—happens in isolation. It's an interconnected system.

Ahead of this visit, I was talking to a coworker and accidentally unloaded about my parents, and she said “Well, they did one thing right, because you’re nothing like that.”
Which is true, but I don’t think they should get the credit. I think the imprinting just didn’t take, because I am #ActuallyAutistic and my brain is different.

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic so i hit a wall shortly after the last post…
…doing the budget stuff Monday now

Autistic burnout is different from regular burnout. Regular burnout, like work burnout or caregiver burnout, is a volume problem. Too much on your plate, for too long. And the fix follows logically from the cause: take things off your plate, rest, ease back in. That’s good advice. It works.
Autistic burnout isn’t a volume problem. It’s a mismatch problem. 1/3

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1043 , Saturday 05/09/2026
Saturday started a bit late at 07:30.
Breakfast & chores as usual then started to chase the last main bounty in Starfield.
Relaxing afternoon & then a fried chicken takeaway while watching the new Apple TV ‘Mayday’.
Final Thoughts.
Not a bad day today although I wish I had had the energy to actually do more!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic the first day of the long weekend and what is my autistic ass doing…
...prepping materials for the board meeting next Friday, including:
(1) board orientation slide deck
(2) budget proposal packet
not sure how either of these squarely fall into my role as Secretary...
…but i do know that if left to their own devices…
…my fellow board members would either fuck it up or just not do it

[P] Here's how I see it.
A "neurotypical" hiverarchian cultist (as all hiverarchians are cultists) is faced with the trolley problem: "Who's my cult in-group? Who's the evil out-group? What saves more/most/all of my in-group?"
A neurodivergent is faced with the trolley problem: "Which objectively causes the least harm and suffering, and is the most fair and ethical? Is there a better option?"

Autistic burnout doesn’t need to be a mystery. It is understandable and predictable, and there are clear patterns.
The key is learning the signs of autistic burnout, understanding the differences between it and regular burnout, and taking steps specifically for the patterns YOU are experiencing and noticing.
Most importantly, it is NOT a personal failing. It is a stress condition. And that's real.

[P] I just look at this and... I'm so glad I have autism. It's a blessing. I'm a little sad because I recently saw a comedian do a skit about travelling to another reality where the majority is autistic, and it's a paradise. I mean, it would be. Swap "fitting in" for Universal acceptance of all dissimilarity, ethics, affective empathy, fairness, and morality. Of course that would be a paradise. There'd be no cults!

[P] I'll be honest, ever since I was young? I found "fitting in" to be creepy.
"I don't like that."
"You do, thogh. You said that only last week."
"There is no me, there's only the hive. The hive doesn't like that."Creepy! In order to "fit in," one must like what everyone else likes and never ask meaningful, sincere questions. Nigel Farage could convince all of his suppoeters to drink their own piss, if he felt like it.
