Hope you're well today. TL;DR is I'm trying to raise $30.

I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically unemployed pan nb, a father to twins, and trying to get on my feet. Today I'm trying to gather up about $30.

I'm on hard times and haven't been able to secure a job in many months, and have gotten by on the charity of family and the kindness of others, but have little for myself. I post here because I appreciate the Mastodon community.

I'll forever remember and be thankful if you are willing to lend me your support. I also take gameplay requests (at no cost). Every penny goes directly toward surviving. My handles are below. Pic is my dog, Biscuit. Thank you for hearing me out.

At eight, a near-drowning off Gallipoli left my eyes open underwater, registering everything with a clarity I never matched again. Decades later, people close to me still read that same calm as not caring. Albert Ellis and Epictetus, nineteen centuries apart, explain why the proportion I found that morning has never left.

We had a great family day out at Disneyland Hong Kong! 🏰

Our niece loved going on the rides, and our nephew enjoyed building his lightsaber and hanging out with his buddy (my cousin's son), but it was a lot for the senses. Large crowds, stifling heat and humidity, bright lights, loud and competing noises, strong smells from the plethora of eateries, and constantly being moved in every direction led to a feeling of being overwhelmed. I was exhausted by the end of the day and need some downtime to recover from it all! Creating special memories with family made it worthwhile, though 😊

Autism and lack of safety 🛟

Here are some things which, interestingly, are common in autistic people but can also be general indicators of anxiety or fear.

1. Difficulty distinguishing voices from background noise.

2. Digestion problems, sometimes culminating in IBS.

3. Strong attachment to routine and panic when it fails.

4. Persistent problems falling asleep or staying asleep.

There will be other things, I think 🤔 ... thoughts?

I'm in serious danger of falling into an #espresso rabbit hole. #AuDHD obsession style. I've always liked tinkering with different #coffee brewing methods. Not only that, pimping up and old machine using a #gaggiuino sounds like a very fun project... which I can abandoned halfway through because a found a new shiny 😂 Also graphs!

@johnnyprofane1 YESSSS…. That slow, meandering, even weeks-long precogitation on a subject feels so indulgently luxurious these days. Being lost in my own head on a weekend day. Where did that day go? Oh right I let myself freewheel in austistic bliss. Damn that felt good. Why am I apologizing for not getting more done?

Our value system is so fucked up.

@johnnyprofane1 Certainly school was a place for safety and a focus on something enjoyable. As I got to high school it brought its own social stress. Even then I found comfort in quiet private spaces, away from the social onslaught.

A split in the spectrum? The ongoing battle to define autism
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdew81wd2y8o

I think this "continuing row" in the UK over the definition of Autism appears to be part of the continuing "Culture Wars", and the misunderstanding and hate directed at neurodivergent people.

Professor Dame Uta Frith is quoted in the article, and I found her opinions to be really quite extraordinary — practically everything she said is wrong. It's dangerous of her to spread misinformation by denying the prevalence of late-diagnosed Autism. Additionally, it's awfully sexist of her to spread doubt about the diagnosis of women with Autism. Her narrow definition of Autism is not at all backed by credible research. Autism is a spectrum: there's a range of symptoms, it has some overlaps with ADHD symptoms, and there's no simple "one size fits all" definition. Uta Frith can get in the bin.
