I've set up a brand new account on a different instance tonight (@zamaiewrites) just in case anything happens to this place.

I have only been here for the past six months, but I do appreciate everyone that has followed me since the beginning.

If I have to fully migrate over there, I'm already prepared to start the process of doing so.

Hello! I'm a #JobSeeker looking to #GetFediHired for my first corporate job since graduating from college in December 2020.

My job preferences are already stated in my #LinkedIn profile, but I'll expand upon them here.

I'm mainly considering any part-time #Remote positions related to #DataEntry, #WebDev, #WebDesign, #GraphicDesign, #Blogging, #Podcasting, etc.

I've always been interested in technology & design ever since my teen years, so having the opportunity to work for a decent company in that field would be an honor.

Since I have an official autism diagnosis under my belt, I'm willing to work through obtaining any necessary accommodations with future bosses & managers to ensure that I can be a highly productive employee.

NOTE: My resume is currently a bit out of date, but I will make it available for anyone to read as soon as it's fully updated.

If anyone has any questions and/or would like to offer me an interview, my DMs are always open for recruiters.

P.S. Any boosts on this toot are greatly appreciated! 💜

I still remember the joy I felt after being invited to be a contributor for NeuroClastic (https://neuroclastic.com) because of my activities on Twitter. I haven't written an article for them yet after all this time, but I'm still grateful for the opportunity they've given to me nonetheless. 🥰

Hi, my name is Zamaie (she/they)! It's nice to meet you all.

Here's a bunch of fun facts about myself:

- I'm 25 going on 26 this year.
- I received my autism diagnosis while I was in middle school and had an IEP because of it.
- I graduated from college in 2020 and have been WFH ever since then.
- I currently live with my parents & older brother under one roof in the USA.
- I'm mainly fluent in English, but I know various phrases from other languages like Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, French, etc.
- I used to be a #WordPress blogger under the same handle that I signed up to this instance with.
- I'm pansexual and have a lovely partner that I met through a public Discord server in 2021.

Kerima Çevik is the most underrated autism writer/advocate that I know of.

And what she wrote here is absolutely true: "The pattern of abuse in every case, and I mean every case, begins with the appropriation and perversion of the process and meaning of mourning."

A sizeable portion of the #ActuallyAutistic community doesn't like or trust #Silberman even though #Neurotribes is one of the less awful books out there by NTs about autistics. This is very faint praise.

Young white boys' nearby #allistic adults are overrepresented in the #autism community and Silberman doesn't really do much to adjust for his own role as a nearby white allistic adult.
