On the birdsite, I saw several accusing tweets conflating "Nazi" and "autist"! 🤬 I really wish they wouldn't. 😢
Don't they think we have enough to worry about, being universally rejected, that we can stand also being considered to be Nazis?!!

I have #autism (formal dx) and #ADHD (self dx). But I can't seem to separate the two. What are the differences between them? Or do they just blur into one another? Can anyone help?

As I come to understand my #autism better (I was only diagnosed 7 years ago, aged 63), I realise I have lived a hopelessly innocent and naive life.
I have always tried to live my actual real life trying to be decent (etc). I thought everyone did the same. What a fool I have been. 😢

"Do you find #pain non existent or overwhelming?
Do you know when you are tired, hungry, thirsty?
Do you know when your heart is racing ?

This looks like an alternative to DSM-5. published by the #WHO. The bit on #autism starts on page 124.

@KatyElphinstone Autistic children learn very quickly to be or become "hyper-independent". Rejected by the outside (NT) world, they create their own internal worlds, and live there.
Don't we all do that? I did. I didn't want to, but I could see no other choices or options. What I really wanted was to be a member of the group or gang, as all humans do... 😢

@actuallyautistic
@actuallyadhdWhat are the hashtags most commonly used here to identify us?
Here are the ones I normally use:
#AskingAutistics
#ActuallyAutistic
#AllAutistics
#AuDHDAm I missing any that would be useful for me to include?
Their purpose? To reach as many of the assembled autistic throng (😁) as I can. 🙂

@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"
👍
-
Allistic communication relies on #implication, and reading/writing 'between the lines', thereby retaining #deniability!
Yes, it would be *so* good if they could learn to #communicate #honestly, as we (mostly) do. 👍
-
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."

Anyone got any ideas on how best to avoid the Limp Pics?
We've just endured #Euros, then #Wimbledon, and now ... some more #sport. 😤 Why? 😭😭
Isn't psychological cruelty some kind of Crime Against ... Humanity? 🤔

"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
-
As an autist, I often *feel* that I #THINK differently from how NTs do it. I think many of us feel this.
But has any work been done to quantify this, or reach a more detailed understanding? Anyone know?
-
Is this a 'thing', or is it just a joke? It seems to ring true to me...?

@dimly_lit_room That doesn't resonate for me (#AuDHD), but that may be down to individual differences, or (more likely) that I haven't appreciated exactly what you're getting at. 🤔 😉 👍
Looking forward to other replies that might educate me...

What do we think of #Astrid (aka "Astrid et Raphaelle")? I am smitten (with the *character*, not the actress)! How about you?
-
Taken from the birdsite (from @Clearautism), because this is pretty important:
"The 2018 Advances in Autism study, for example, predicted that nearly half of autistic children exposed to ABA will meet the threshold for a PTSD diagnosis within four weeks, while caregivers’ satisfaction will rise as the treatment goes on." 😱🤬🤬🤬

I have little experience of meltdown or shutdown, but I experienced an extreme instance of one or the other a few days ago. I can't seem to get past what happened, even 10 days later. Is there any help for such things?
