Question for folks with #autistic or #adhd kids: do you get your child involved with social activities specifically for #neurodivegent kids? My 9-year old is struggling with the kind of social isolation I also dealt with, and I’m looking at options.

These kinds of #ads — where you scroll and really a fixed position banner ad visually behind the content you’re reading — should be illegal, and both the clients who request them and the devs who build them should be launched into the Sun.
It was my birthday yesterday, and according to this bike seat company I’m now in the age bracket that ends at 60!
tanteRegardless of capabilities and licensing etc. I find the shift from engineering to magic that comes with the belief in LLMs deeply troubling. Our infrastructures are badly maintained as is, this won't improve the situation.
When does #Trump have to start going door-to-door in Mar-a-Lago to announce to his customers that he's a registered sex offender?
Part of the reason I built/am building my reminder system Good Badgers (goodbadgers.com), the first specific use-case, was to remember to drive up to Algonquin on a weekend morning before dawn to try to see some moose eating on the side of the road.
This week because it was in the system, we remembered to plan ahead on the Friday to go there this morning. The system works!
Our car wouldn’t start this morning, so we didn’t get to see the moose, but Good Badgers did its job! #adhd
Once again I've reached the "My commit messages alternate between 'blurgh' and 'fixing a hing, hopefully" part of my day.
Question for folks with #autistic kids, specifically ones who are extra stiff (instead of hypermobile/hyperflexible). I'm getting my 9-year to be a bit more physically active, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for flexibility/mobility exercises that have helped and also haven't proven very frustrating.

Thanks!
I just finished reading Outlive by Peter Attia. If any of you have a body and want to make sure it gets to be old, it might be good reading for you. Heady stuff, for sure, but a lot of things to consider to increase and maintain health, happiness, et al.

Isaac FreemanThe worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said you’ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.
