The Myth of the “Naturally Clever” Student

Every school seems to have them. The student who never appears to revise but somehow walks into exams with the relaxed confidence of a person returning a library book. The one teachers quietly use as…

The Science Guy

I am grateful that I survived character assassinations made by lemmy.world and wizard.casa. I am still alive despite my overwhelming moments. They are not there to bring justice; they are managing risks to their survival by attacking my character and exploiting me. I know who the admin is, and who they are. They take for granted my effort in making things right. They think they can make me forget.

Edit: Still, lemmy.world did not return my data despite my explicit request to them, and they blamed their nature, stating that they are unpaid and minimising the seriousness by returning my data after approximately 28 days. However, I did not accept this because they violated the set deadline of 3 days.

Edit 2: Also, one user was also harassing me through DMs when I was being vulnerable. The Fediverse instance is gotosocial.social. For them, perhaps the harassment is cool, harmless, and democratic—until someone does the same to them, at which point they might label it as trolling.

Mutual Aid and Systemic Survival

Isn't it nice if someone online who is more fortunate helps me financially? I have not found one yet. I just need to survive in this world full of capitalism, which is a religion that is forced.

Autistic people don’t just ‘fail to fit’ into social norms and into the social order.

It seems quite a lot of the time we actually challenge the social order - often even just by existing.

Schools and algorithms share a failure mode.
They optimize for the median.
They flag the outlier as a problem.
Edison's teacher called him "addled." 1,093 patents.
Darwin's father said he'd be a disgrace. Changed biology forever.
Temple Grandin was told she'd never amount to anything. Revolutionized animal science.
The institution didn't fail to find them.
The person who doesn't fit gets filtered out.
The pattern isn't neutral.
It's just the median with authority.

the “barriers,” my supposed walls, is maddeningly ironic. I have always been Mister TMI, always been an amphibian, completely permeable, always infodumping and never heard, FFS. “Barriers.”

The wall of neurotype is real, believe me, you are behind the same wall from my POV as I am from yours.

There isn’t a rise in neurodivergence, there’s a rise in visibility, compassion, and knowledge. And that’s something to celebrate.
