Sarah SammisPlease don't explain your comments to me. Trust me, I get them.
If I don't get them, I will tell you.
If I make a tangential response to your comment, it's just be being tangential, not confused.
Hans-Cees 🌳🌳🤢🦋🐈🐈🍋🍋🐝🐜my #wikipedia wormhole travelling yesterday #actuallyaustistic
Ukraine hit ural town yesterday with drones. His was where russia in ww2 put their factories to produce tanks to defeat hitler.
Also there was a big nuclear accident in 1957 in the urals because they produced plutonium there to make atom bombs. Mostly around a secreta town not to be found on any maps.
A waste concrete basin exploded because the cooling failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyshtym_disaster
The forest that was hit with a plume of cesium and other substances died: all pines died. after 50 years results show that the forest has recuperated, because most substances are now in the soil or have stopped being uclear active (substances had a relative short time they are active)
The polluted place is called east ural nature reserve.
What a story about human destruction. The most polluted lake in the world is located next to the nuclear facility
cats are really firstaid for #actuallyaustistic folks like me. She can be so anxious and also so full of life

hi, #actuallyaustistic people, do you know that fawning concept? It was new to me. Thinking about it now.
I think I do this a lot and also in an unhealthy manner. But it also taught me good things like seeing multiple sides to events where other's choose a side easily.
Please let me know if you have thought's on this and what these are

Das „Amt für Soziales und Jugend, Abteilung Hilfen für Schwerbehinderung“ der Stadt Düsseldorf schreibt mir, ich solle mitteilen, wer zu meinem „Autismusleiden“ Auskunft geben könne.
Ich vermute, sie meinen einen Weißkittel. Weil ich selbst ja so gar keine Ahnung davon haben kann.
Was darf ich ausrichten?
Moriel 🏳️⚧️Unwritten Rules of Conversation
i have never understood any of the unwritten rules of conversation that neurotypical (and many neurodivergent!) people follow, and even though i’m 56 years old i have only this past year started trying to write down what i have been able to figure out on my own. Most of these things come from making the same mistake over and over and over again until the pattern finally becomes clear. i am going to post them here and update this post over time as i learn more rules. Maybe this will help someone else someday.
- Do not talk about suicide with anyone other than a therapist. It will be perceived as manipulation. Even if i think someone cares for me or that they might understand from personal experience, do not discuss it. It will only lead to them feeling hurt. Maybe it’s OK to talk about it in support groups where suicide really is a common thing.
- Do not discuss ideas that come into my head during a conversation, no matter how lighthearted or unimportant they may be. It will be perceived as arguing.
- Do not try to express empathy for someone by relating their experience to one of my own. It will be perceived as “making things about myself”.
- Do not offer explanations for your behavior. That will be interpreted as “making excuses”. If someone insists on an explanation the you must preface it with a statement such as “this is not an excuse” which will probably be ignored anyway. The only safe thing to do is apologize without any explanations.
- Say “You’re right” instead of “I know”.
- Unsolicited advice is criticism.
- Saying what i would do in a situation is perceived as the same thing as giving advice.
Hatysa@JeremyMallin Could be both (officially diagnosed #ActuallyAustistic here, and I don't seem to be ADHD on top of it). Caffeine doesn't make me "wired" in typical amounts, though I can't rule out caffeine subtly interfering with my ability to sleep.

‼️🫨 371/2,600 — 2,229 to go 😻 Thanks to everyone who's shown up‼️
UPDATE: landlady agreed to shift the DL to 10 Dec, so it means more time to build up anxiety by then 🥹👍🏻
🚨 2k by 10 Dec 🚨 Hopefully this can be met a lot sooner. I can't live with this much anxiety.
🏠 600 for December's essentials (incl. utilities + meds + internet, etc)
If you can support, please do. If you can’t, reposting helps it reach someone who can. Thank you, thank you 💜🙂↕️

You may recall that I sporadically make and release music. Well, I just released the latest song that I've been working on, an ode to neurodivergent love, over on Bandcamp:

ManonBrigitte Podcast „Meno an mich“ zum Thema „Unentdeckter Autismus bei Frauen - Diagnose in der Lebensmitte“.
Meine Kollegin Christa Koentges und ich waren zu Gast. 😊
Unentdeckter Autismus bei Frauen - Diagnose in der Lebensmitte ~ MENO AN MICH. Frauen mitten im Leben. Podcast
Die Autismus Spektrumsstörung ist eine Entwicklungsstörung - erste Anzeichen zeigen sich also schon in der Kindheit. Trotzdem erhalten vor allem Frauen die Diagnose viel später als Männer. Unter anderem, weil die Diagnose Kriterien viel zu lang...
