Usona HomaranoI know there's a selection bias impeding my search, but I can't find a single #allistic #objectivist and I suspect there aren't any.
GilgwathI noticed how many of the #allistic people and especially organisations tend to just walk all over my schedule. They are surprised when they show up half an hour too early and it makes me stressed and grumpy. In turn they get stressed and grumpy when I just send them away until it's time for them to show up. Why do we even make an appointment, when they intend to show up when ever. 🤷 #adhd #autism

@actuallyautistic In the main, yes. (And none whatsoever for chicken-shit.)

@johnnyprofane1 I think this is perfect just as it is, and entirely accurate. I consider both #ABA and #CBT the #LGBTQ equivalent of #ConversionTherapy.
If we accept that #nuerodifference involves physiology, then what exactly are we supposed to be fixing? We are not broken. At best we need to learn to cope with #toxic indifference of #allistic society.
@johnnyprofane1 There is so much about the normative #allistic social gauntlet I just don’t get. Sometimes I wonder if this perplexing outcome of expressed #individuality and obvious surrender to #populism is merely a continuation of that same game that happens in our teens, and they just never got over it.
I suppose I didn’t consider if my confusion over #political behavior might also be part of my social #dissonance. Very possibly!
@lkanies @hmm_cook It may be worth clarifying what we’re motivating our #neurodifferent kids FOR?
We maintain #routines for daily living needs… getting ready school, homework, bath and bed time.
For #interests, it’s 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.

@theynege I would start by responding that no one should have to explain themselves. Why is everyone naturally expected to buy into #allistic expectations?
I would simply offer that #neurodifferent people don’t often just socialize because. We often require some shared connection before we engage with people, partly because this requires a real expenditure of mental energy. And if we’re already drained for other reasons then it’s even less likely to occur.
