The Spectrum Shift Debating Autism's Evolving Map
This debate contrasts the traditional medical model of autism (framing it via cognitive deficits and clinical boundaries) with the contemporary neurodiversity paradigm (viewing it as a natural human neurotype requiring societal accommodation).
The discussion covers diagnostic evolution, the circular "galaxy" model of traits versus linear scales, double empathy etc.

Et si je faisais enfin la gravure du visuel avec les mergules nains ? (Parce qu'entre les 4 versions et la tergiversation, ça fait un moment que cette illu attend d'être gravée)
Allez hop, petit fil "Travail en cours" qui continuera tant que je ne me lasserai pas (et tant que je ne ferai pas d'erreur de gravures trop graves)

Mutual Aid Request Roundup 13 Aug 2026
Military vehicles near Monas, fences around Jakarta's malls, officials insisting it's all Independence Day rehearsal and not a crackdown in waiting. A disabled Indonesian Muslim woman writing from Jakarta traces the fencing back to dwifungsi ABRI, the US-backed Cold War doctrine still shaping how Indonesia disciplines its own people, and connects it to the same logic running Gaza's occupation and Washington's deals with Tehran. The people named in this week's requests need that support regardless.https://mutualaidspace.org/mutual-aid-request-roundup-13-aug-2026/

Five of Indonesia’s most powerful security officials declared the country secure while malls were fenced, unfenced, and a woman was arrested for a Facebook post. Eleven days before Independence Day, the government is managing memory to protect extraction and punish warning. That same government moved fast enough to make a dictator a national hero within a year of taking office; it has never moved that fast for anyone’s survival, anywhere. Below is this week’s mutual aid roundup.Below are ten mutual aid requests, two Palestinian campaign spotlights, and verified campaigns needing direct support and sharing.

Mutual Aid Request Roundup 6 August 2026
Jakarta fenced two malls, then took the fences down days later without explanation. Five of the country's top security officials denied any unrest and threatened charges for saying otherwise. A woman in West Java is already under arrest. That same government moved fast enough to make a dictator a national hero within a year of taking office. It has never moved that fast for anyone's rent, anywhere. Below is this week's mutual aid roundup.https://mutualaidspace.org/mutual-aid-request-roundup-6-august-2026/

Research into MBTI® type, neurodivergence, and neurodiversity - A report from The Myers-Briggs Company [2024]
This seems to be an interesting and quite recent study that differenciates [in a very respectful way!] between participants that self-diagnosed and those who have an externally validated diagnose.

I prefer low light or no light.
Is this an autist thing,
Or a night-owl thing,
Or a human thing,
Or is it just me? 🤔#Autism

CW: Mentions of politics
Would anyone be interested if I ever made a Substack account for my writing? It'd be for shits and giggles basically, I don't wanna feel obligated to write articles all the time. I'd probably write about politics and possibly esotericism. All of my articles would be free unless I get good traction on there.
For more background into my politics, I'm an independent from the US with a slight left lean. I'm also a bi AuDHD woman, so I'm able to bring a healthy dose of diversity into what I do! I think universal healthcare, inflation and privacy are the biggest issues in the US currently. That said, I'm also very passionate about neurodivergent advocacy and acceptance. I think neurodivergence is the biggest DEI issue that few talk about.

Dear light-sensitive people, can you please share experiences with or recommendations for FL-41 glasses?
I am looking for something that will help me navigate the harsh lights at my work place. I do have a rather small skull, so I often have to look long and hard for sunnies that don't slide off my nose. Hence, I'm looking for FL-41 glasses that have a relatively small fit. Do you have any recommendations?
Do you have any other advice that you can share? Thanks!

Fact:
When an Autistic person calls you beautiful, we’re talking about your soul—i.e., your True Self, the emotional root of your being and how it grows into your personality as a whole; your presence and impact on the world.
It’s never an empty compliment. We mean it with all our hearts. We can see all that you are, all that you can be, and how you got where you are today. Even more so, you can trust that we not only mean it, it’s the absolute goddamn truth.
Unsubstantiated Personal Opinion:
It’s not like we Autistics care absolutely nothing for outward appearances, it’s more like we only see outward appearances as a natural extension of a person’s relationship with their True Self. When we bother to cultivate an “image,” we always seek to best express our inner truth through the medium of fashion, with no interest in looking good to other people.
Whatever the underlying psychological and neurological differences are between Autistics, NDs excluding Autistics, and NTs (choose your preferred theory here), somewhere along the line our Ego/Self/Analog I lost the capacity for vanity. Or perhaps we threw it away along with the other incompatible traits that NTs take as inalienable and sacrosanct aspects of the human mind. It’s difficult to say for certain.
And don’t forget, we love our little bubbles; we live in our “Mind Palaces” and often come to resent the cold, empty, meaningless world of Reality. So if we come out of our bubble to look into your heart and see your truth, know that that already demonstrates how much we care about you. Our attention is our expression of devotion. So yes, we give it sparingly and resent it being seized against our will, because that’s what’s inalienable and sacrosanct to us.
Relevant Aside:
One of my real-life fellow Autistic friends called me “you beautiful, beautiful man” last night, and honestly—and given all of the above—I had no idea how much I needed to hear that. She even doubled “beautiful”, which is one of the ways we Autistics express the strongest emphasis. I still feel all warm and fuzzy this morning.
