"and like i said i'm not accepted in autism communities because i think differently and instead of that being accepted because they should know how that feels... you know, they think differently to the general population so they create a community. And then I pop up and go I also think different but i do think different to you too... can I still be part of it? And I get shouted out attacked bullied you know kicked-out, #blocked ! Which is weird because you'd think #autistic people would understand how it feels to treat people like that. But i digress"

This has been percolating in my #neurodivergent head for a while now...
I don't think the #autism #spectrum is an adequate way to view autism in the modern context of #neurodiversity.
I think there's a much broader neurodivergence spectrum that encompasses autism, #ADHD, #alexithymia, #RSD, #dyslexia, sensory processing disorder, etc etc.
Us #neurodifferent peeps are so often such an unseparable coagulation of many of the above, it's the only perspective that makes sense to me.
Thoughts?
I'm increasingly dissatisfied with the term #neurodivergent being the one preferred for someone who is (like me) not #neurotypical.
I think a trick was missed. What about #neurodistinctive or even #neuroextraordinary? A little more positive methinks.
Light-hearted post? Well maybe. I just think neurodivergent sounds a bit stuffy. #Neurodifferent isn't bad. #neurospicy is, however, dreadful.
Iโm increasingly beginning to think that #apps for #dating and #hookups need to have a filter for #neurodiversity. The social and communication disconnects just become irritating and frustrating after a while.
Where are my fellow #gay, #kinky, #neurodifferent, horny folks???
@haui #BigBangTheory and #YoungSheldon feel to me like early efforts to put #LGBTQ characters in front of broader audiences. Coded and not discussed. Stereotypical, with a while male focus.
Iโm glad they added a similar female character, but wasnโt impressed that only the two #neurodifferent coded characters were permitted to have a relationship. #LoveOnTheSpectrum does the same.
So Iโm glad weโre more visible. I just wish it was more authentic.
I canโt say for sure if this is an advantage, but one thing that I think informs my interaction with potential playmates is my #AuDHD. The more coy and evasive they are on simple matters the less Iโm interested in them. This pattern raises warning flags.
The confusing part for them, as I have learned, is that my reaction is to simply block and walk away. Itโs triggering to sort out whatever supposed mating ritual theyโre performing.
If you want some information on getting #nextcloud #reverse-proxy going on #docker I made some documentation :
https://github.com/hanscees/nextcloud-aio-remote-reverse-proxy
#linux #OpenSource
I made a pull to add it to their documentation but they dont want it. ๐คท. Probably my #neurodifferent brain. #actuallyAutistic
@lkanies @hmm_cook It may be worth clarifying what weโre motivating our #neurodifferent kids FOR?
We maintain #routines for daily living needsโฆ getting ready school, homework, bath and bed time.
For #interests, itโs best to let them self-pilot. We can introduce them to new things and see what sticks. But are #allistic kids so malleable that it works differently for them? If anything, we worked to maintain multiple interests.

I was seeking out something new and interesting to watch today. Found this and, while Iโm not prone to crying in movies, this one got me TWICE... well, three times depending on how you count. Watched โLanguage Arts" (2020) on #PrimeVideo
