"Yes, I am autistic. No really. This is not a joke." ~me
What am I doing on Mastodon?
I speak honestly, in a world where the primary language seems to be lies. I hope for acceptance of neurodifferent minds worldwide.
What I type about?
Mostly my autism, which is cerified at level 2 social interaction.

@jmcrookston Reminds me of the time someone told me why they voted for Trump "He gets shit done"
Welp, he certainly is doing something shitty. It aint good.
I'm happy I found a name, so there is a word to tell people, what the F is happening to me.
A quick google "stupor" break me out of it with some stimulus :D
Topic: Mental Health
I figured out the name for my psychotic episodes (as psychotic episodes wasnt the best term).
Stupor.
Stimulus and shaking can break someone out of a stupor.
When I am put into a hospital bed, because someone called 911... I dont break out of the stupor very well.
Shaking me, that should break me from the stupor.
When I fell into the stupors, stimulus would wake me. Moving me, talking to me, poking me.
Everything I read about stupors fits, except the drunk part.
@GNUmatic I would like a translator from English-allistic to English-Autistic. I wish Noise-cancelling cancels all sounds. The worst sound around me is one that an Airpod cant cancel... dog barks.

I literally have to give a friend "Durable Power of Attourney" so she can speak on my behalf to get over HIPAA barriers. While translators for NT to ND do not exist in a certifiable form. Hippa is for security, but it is so tight, it gets in my way for my needed disability accmidations.
@spiegelmama Oh yea! I gave away a Lego set to my Social worker last week. Kylo Ren's ship, and she has Kylo Ren as a tattoo. She said she would put it on her desk. Perfect!
Good idea :D
Every week, I lose $150 from my Trust that is spent on care services, services that would be provided by Regional Center for free...
Every week, that loss of funds is emotionally painful.
The Regional Center has such a long process, already been a year since I finally was considered for care, and still dont have the care because of the paperwork they have to process on their end.
Ughhhh... no clear date to when I can be supported by Regional Center.
I wish I could be allowed to build Lego sets for other people...
I would not want to be paid in money, because a higher income means I would lose supports I depend on to live.
Maybe if I am paid with the same set for myself... I would love to build two Death Stars. One for me, one for them. They would come first, because I like helping other people.
@RegGuy Richer people can still survive with the loss of a lot of their funds.
I cant even afford the copay for some MRI's my doctor wants. $200, and I am declining. Need the $200 for needs.
And a bill for $900 for an ambulance I never asked for, followed by ongoing abuse for days after. I might as well sue them for physical and emotional abuse, might cost less.
