@ibk @feather1952 I think this is far from mansplaining! A really good explanation, in fact 😊
@feather1952 isn't it cute?!
@Otto_Gloeckner It's a 5 – I've not used one before, but I'm loving it! Linux is very intuitive

My PC was dying a slow death and so we decided to experiment with subbing in a Raspberry Pi for work, since most of what I do is text-based.

I didn't want to just have it naked on the desk so Adam printed me a pi(e) case 😁

@ShadowJonathan that's voidpunk as fuck! 🥰

Yeah many years back I did some work with kids with learning disabilities (before I became disabled), and some were autistic combined with many other things, one day on a field trip this particular lad ran off and I was tasked with chasing him down/bringing him back as we were all just about to leave on the bus.

So I slowly walked over, and yes he cheekily ran away, and so on, like it was a game, so eventually I thought okay, reverse psychology, I'll get ya.

So I loudly proclaimed:
"Okay I'm going now (with my back turned to him), we all are, on the bus"

And just slowly walked away (slight glance to see if he was following - he was), and just guided him back, and all was good, he didn't really want to be alone, just thought it was funny.

Sounds similar to that situation, it's not like he doesn't want interaction, he just thought it was funny.

@ShadowJonathan those with high support needs tend to have some great senses of humor imo. My late great uncle Tom made tons of witty and snarky comments to be funny but also to try and get something he wanted. His death was brought on by old age and even towards the end he brought joy to others. No one really has a classification for his disability as no such thing existed when he was young. He was just the disabled brother they all helped out in my grandma's family, and imo it was a good philosophy as they focused less on his limitations and more about accommodating him.
@ShadowJonathan technically “a cyborg” would be more accurate.

@whangdoodler @ShadowJonathan
Reading the original post made me remember that back when I was a kid I would sometimes think, "Am I a robot?" Purely incidental, I'm sure, but it turns out that I'm also autistic.

It's very possible that kid isn't talking about the literal fact that they're an organism that is augmented by technology.

@ShadowJonathan Well, even though autistic and non verbal, he has a killer humor :D

OMG A voice keyboard sounds like an awesome thing! I've never heard of this before.

@Moriel @ShadowJonathan this is basically how I use my tablet or phone too, and tried to use (bits of) BSL
@Moriel Isn't that what Stephen Hawking used?

@Azarilh

I never really thought about it. But I do know that his was specially adapated so he could use it with very little movement sinc ethe ALS left him mostly paralyzed.

@ShadowJonathan hes so fucking real
