  1. The Journey of a Glass Child: Embracing Uniqueness

    Growing up, I was always the "weird" kid who couldn't fit in, even with my own family, a round peg in a square, rigid hole. I preferred creative things like music, art, and writing, often spending time riding my bike or walking. This was quite different from my peers, who were into sports, the military, travel, boating, and horses—activities my family couldn't afford. So I stayed in my own world, where I was happy and content. My extracurriculars weren't the usual after-school sports. […]

  2. Some neurotypical person may have to explain to me why the socially acceptable thing to do when someone calls you pretentious is to checks notes say thank you and lick their boot.

    I'm autistic, so as we all know, I struggle to understand "common sense" things like that and am eager to learn so that I can be included in this delusionally toxic society of ours.

    Some of that was likely sarcasm.

    Things to keep in mind:

    • If you're a woman, and someone calls you manipulative, they're afraid of the only power they've allowed you to keep.
    • If you're an autist, and someone calls you pretentious, they are forcing you to do emotional labor to protect them, your attacker, from their own insecurity.

    Never accept as feedback what is intended as abuse.

  7. Been wondering about Masking and the repeated claims that gold standard, random assignment, double blind trials are needed before N95 masks should be issued to healthcare workers.

    Anyone seen gold standard, random assignment, double blind trials on skin diving masks?

    Or is it ok to rely on physics and engineering in such circumstances?

    What's the term for demanding ridiculous sorts of evidence?

  9. Как маскировка данных спасает вашу приватность

    Сколько личной информации о вас хранится в мире онлайна? От финансовых операций и медицинских досье до социальных сетей и корпоративных баз данных – данные каждого из нас оказываются в цифровом пространстве, привлекая внимание злоумышленников и вызывая беспокойство как у нас, так и у служб безопасности. Одним из распространенных методов защиты является маскировка данных. Для более ясного понимания этого процесса давайте рассмотрим различные техники маскировки и попробуем разобраться, с чем это едят.

  11. Why So Quiet about Long COVID?

    A top US epidemiologist pierces the silence about the pandemic’s deeply destructive long tail

    Two million Canadians reported symptoms of long COVID as of June. That’s 7% of the adult population

  12. @alexisbushnell this reasonates with me. The feelings I’m having while beginning to #unmask feel a lot like #ComingOut. We’re increasingly become aware of all the ways #masking inhibits/ed us and stumbling through how to express ourselves now that we know we just can’t live that way any more. Learning how to clarify our needs with people who mostly never realized how their behavior affected us. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD @actuallyautistic

  13. Early- and mid-pandemic, prior COVID infections gave a mild protective effect. This waned post-Omicron, and prior infections now tend toward more severe (second) infections, or a loss of protection altogether. ANOTHER STUDY SHOWS: AVOID MULTIPLE COVID INFECTIONS

  14. I recently took an indoor training course in which I was the only one #masked. That didn’t bother me as it’s not the first time and I’ve grown quite accustomed to people’s strange looks.

    What truly affected me was the sad fact that when we partnered up at the start, I was last to be picked due to my #mask.

    It was clear everyone felt that if they partnered with me they’d have to mask up as well. I told the last unfortunate fellow who was forced to sit with me that was not the case, he was relieved.

    Over the 2 day course I found out my new partner had already taken the same course a month previous and barely retained anything.

    I was shocked by his inability to remember numbers or follow basic instructions in a timely matter. Despite this, I continuously helped him along, explaining things thoroughly through my mask. At the end he gratefully thanked me for helping him so much through the course.

    Upon leaving on the last day, I overheard my former partner admitting to the teacher that since he’s had #covid (multiple times) he now has difficulty remembering things, which is affecting his studies.

    So, next time you need to partner in a course don’t assume the only person masked is an incompetent fool, when it’s most probably quite the opposite.

    My wife and I have managed to avoid #covid19bc thus far through maintained #masking and social #distancing. Life changed and we’ve adjusted. Masking shows our strength and resilience not our weakness.

  16. @EverBeyondReach I am trying to #unmask more. Yes I fall into my masks pretty easily. But I understand the harm it dies me now. I also have my son, who hasn’t learned the #masking, to measure my reaction against… at least in some situations.

    My preference is to be with people I don’t have to mask with. If I must mask then I try to minimize it at all costs. Having to deal with the #aftermath of masking us exhausting.

  17. @autisticengineer I was also late diagnosed. I always knew something was different. I labeled it #introversion. But there were no #resources or #support. Honestly, #SPED in those days would have been harmful for me. What I needed was emotional and social support. I did fine educationally, by good fortune.

    The benefit knowing sooner would have been feeling less like a freak and winding up #SelfIsolating and #masking, on top of being in the #closet. So much #clarity now.

  22. This is a very good read for everyone, autistics and non-autistics, alike: “Why does masking autism contribute to burnout?” By Eloise Stark, an Autistic Ph.D. candidate from the University of Oxford, who was diagnosed at age 27.

    ---

    “I am who I am, I’m autistic and proud, I’m different, and for the first time in my life, I’m okay with that.”

    “Following the attack, I developed a recurrence of mental-health problems from my youth. I grew more and more unwell. I was anxious, obsessive, depressed, and began to have suicidal feelings. I was overwhelmed by the world, by just being, and didn’t know how to cope with it.”

    “Masking autism wasn’t a sustainable or safe option. I was admitted to the hospital, yet every clinician disagreed on my diagnosis. Most remarked that they felt they were ‘missing something’.”

    “‘All your life you have been masking autism.’”

    (me: Yep, that's me.)
