The #Autistic spectrum is not a line.

It is a series of "knobs" set at various levels for each manifestation of #Autism.

It is endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful.

@Autism_Sketches

There is Authentic #Autistic themes and representation in many Shows (well beyond what is presented here).

What are your favorite shows?

@actuallyautistic

@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic
One that isn't on the list "Bones" - I'd say Temperance Brennan is the poster person for on screen #autism characters...
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic dimension 20 and really any of the droupout shows make me so happy, because since they basically all revolve around a group of friends having fun together, i just feel so hopeful and comforted to see so much unadulterated autistic joy. 😊
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic Diane Kruger’s portrayal of an autistic homicide detective in “The Bridge” was superb.
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic
My favourites of those are Doctor Who and StR Trek Next Gen.
@autismsupsoc How many colours are there in a rainbow?
@autismsupsoc What's lovely to me about this approach is that with a couple more 'knobs' you could embrace ADHD at the same time. So many of us have some or all of both ASD and AD(H)D.

@fishidwardrobe

Our personal view on this topic so that Autism (ASD) and Kinetism (ADHD) are the same spectrum Neurotype, with the knobs of attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

But we accept that “ADHDers” see ADHD as an identity, and are uncomfortable with the idea of being Autistic. The the possibility exists that there are multiple Neurotypes being DXed as ADHD …

So we don’t push it. We accept that there are “bigger fish to fry” than this topic. It’s not a “Hill to die on.”

@autismsupsoc It's not. If you added those knobs, then you'd not be describing ASD any more, so I personally don't see an issue (but that's just me). You'd be describing neurodiversity as a whole, I suppose. So we'd need a f**kton more knobs…

@autismsupsoc

@iamwahl
And the knobs move. For any given individual the knobs can be set in different settings at different times

#autistic #autism

@autismsupsoc yeah, I usually describe it as like a mixing desk in a recording studio. We all have the same sliders (dozens of them) but each of us has them set to different positions.
@autismsupsoc I'm neither. I'm "what's the maximum level of error with which I can fuck with their model training and still get past the damn captcha?"
@autismsupsoc aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhh! #ItMe
@autismsupsoc Oh gods. Printing this out and handing it to a friend. ❤️

What's the book in this picture? Looks like it's worth having 🤓

@autismsupsoc
I need to take a 2nd look at this show. I hated it the first time I watched, but its entirely possible it was just more relevant than I was willing to tolerate at the time
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic I thought "grok" just meant to understand, at the deepest and most complete level of understanding that a human can have. Total understanding.

@PatternChaser @autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic

You're not wrong:
Total, deeply intuitive understanding of an issue is difficult, if not impossible, to accurately express in words.

@autismsupsoc Do those of us who read this meme in their 2nd tongue get an extra Autistcookie point? 😃

@ReimanSaara

It’s 2 extra Autistcookies points!

@autismsupsoc
Hmm..... They make captchas to screen out bots.... 🤔

@ReimanSaara

@autismsupsoc "Retrograde". No wonder my brain stumbled over that word. 
@autismsupsoc
It's that noise at the beginning of a dialup connection where the two computers discuss what protocol and speeds they support.

@autismsupsoc OH MY GOD THO, WHY WOULD ANYONE DATE SOMEONE THEY DON'T KNOW YET?! WHY?! HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU EVEN LIKE THEM?!?!

I don't understand this. Like, I mean, you shouldn't NEED to be friends with them first to need to want to verify whether or not it's worth your time. How could it possibly be romantic if you don't know the person well enough? Uuuuuuuugh

@autismsupsoc A personal example: at an in person work thing, my team leader asked me how I keep my nail polish perfect. Not quite understanding at that moment what she was asking, I said “Oh, I only painted them last night!” I didn’t recognise her disappointment until days later. It’s been over 18 bloody months and I cannot figure out a way to actually tell her the real answer, so the whole conversation KEEPS going round my damn head and it’s driving me nuts.

@AmaBagins
Ok, I'll bite. I feel your original answer was correct for the question. Thus I am missing something. Can you share her intended question and what the real answer is? Otherwise I'll be thinking about this for 18 months. lol.

@autismsupsoc

@okeleydokely @autismsupsoc ah! She was looking for actual tips, because nail care and nail polish is a hyperfocus of mine. So the real answer would be along the lines of

1. Wrap the tip
2. Don’t let your nails soak (so wear gloves when washing up, and paint AFTER a bath or shower)
3. Don’t use your nails to open things
4. Use nail oil daily

Etc

In her case, she’s also a competitive swimmer so she’s coming from a fail state in the first place lol

@autismsupsoc Latest "Link is AuDHD" meme: Link uses boomerangs a lot and in fact a boomerang was the most powerful item in Link's Awakening, that he gets through a trading sequence that would make for good ADHD storytelling
@autismsupsoc
Parenthesis are my best friend. (Metaphorically! My actual best friends are a black cat, and a strange human who likes robots... and sucks at answering messages)
@autismsupsoc I dont understand what is meant here. Anybody can explain? #actuallyautistic

@hanscees @autismsupsoc I don't think I would have got it if I didn't watch Only Murders In The Building.

The (coded autistic) character often explains or expands on things during a conversation, as if adding a footnote to an essay. Usually the footnote is unnecessary (the info is already known) or extraneous (it's off topic & not relevant at the time).

It's played more as if he's assuming he's the most knowledgeable person in the room, a bit like mansplaining, but somehow more endearing.
