  1. Baño con un amigo después de un día de trabajo duro, ¿quién necesita más? 🐻🐶🧊

    (Taking a bath with a friend after a hard day's work... who needs anything else?)

  2. When I get overwhelmed by wanting to change so much in the world, it helps me to focus small. To narrow down the scope of what I want to change to my own life, and make something better. 1/2

  6. Lots of stuff going on at the moment, so haven’t been on here much checking in, but trying to this week. I just don’t have much space mentally, or physically for extra stuff, even if it’s fun.

  7. I find it very difficult to have more than a few close friends. I feel that I can't keep up with them or pay attention to the things that happen in their lives, and that feels neglectful.

  9. I just realized that #Claude is becoming #autistic :
    - Routinely criticized as being overly-verbose
    - Recent versions are becoming known as "argumentative" -- insisting on a certain way of doing things.
    - Can't pick up on social cues
    - Poor interoception
    - Engages in stims ("Dilly-dallying...", "Percolating...", etc.)
    - Limited capacity for engagement per 5 hour window

    Go figure, we trained it on all the pedantic PR comments the world has ever made.

  10. When you're asking someone to fundamentally change how they've seen you for years, and it matters to you to preserve a positive relationship with them: at the beginning, they need a little bit of information and then time to process it. Then a little bit more. Then time to process that. 1/3

  12. CW: CW - Talk about AFAB health stuff, breast cancer, orgasms, etc.

    I also came out as #Autistic to my health care providers, and also helped the radiologist to get the #Mammography scanner working properly. (Unplug and plug it in again worked!)

  15. I analyze every mistake I make a thousand times but it never stops me from making another mistake.

  16. 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 for some supplements that help with my major depression disorder and anxiety.

    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.

  18. Hoy le tocó al oso ayudar a arreglar un tractor de un señor que estaba trabajando en las tierras de al lado y que le perdía líquido. 🐻🔧🚜 (sin saber ni mú de mecánica) 😅

    (Today, the big farm bear was asked to help to fix a tractor of a man who was working in the neighboring fields and that got stopped because had a fluid leak) 🐻🔧🚜 (without knowing anything about mechanics) 😅

  19. It’s hard to be creative when you’re afraid, because creativity is, at its essence, a vulnerable act. You’re putting something into the world that doesn’t yet exist, and that is vulnerable.

    You’re risking putting a lot of work, time, thought, effort and a lot of yourself into something that could be criticized, ridiculed or even defamed. 1/2

  23. There's so much pressure to be "normal," to be like other people, to fit in.

    But I think what people really want is for others to be understandable and relatable. Which aren't necessarily the same thing.

    You can be "different" and still be understandable and relatable.

  30. Mental health isn't black and white.

    When we think about mental health as black and white—either you're fine or you're crazy—we stigmatize getting help and make it harder for people to access. 1/3

  33. You won't be able to predict exactly what someone will say when you disclose your autism. And that's okay. It's not a personal failing.

    It's an acknowledgment that you are two separate, whole people. How you react isn't going to be the same as how they react. What makes sense to you isn't going to be how they think.
    But you'll still get through it.

  35. A common thing when you start exploring sensory stuff is that you find all this stuff that you’ve been shutting out, you’ve been working to dissociate from, to ignore, to numb, or to cancel out in various ways.

    And it just feels like everything is just more annoying rather than helping. 1/3

  36. I often wish I had a tattoo on my forehead that says "I DON'T UNDERSTAND" so I could just point to it instead of constantly having to explain that I don't understand something that happened.
