Any other autistic kin struggle with speech and articulation when they were little?

I'm recording an instructional voice-over today and my mom just told me I used to have a lisp when I was little. That's news to me!

I definitely notice sludgy articulation around L and S sound as an adult. Outside of voice over recording, I could not care less about my articulation. But it is interesting!

@skinnylatte @actuallyautistic I've heard of that with other autistic people! That's pretty cool honestly.

@brooke @actuallyautistic i do that too!! i wouldn't mind taking a few vocal coaching lessons just about that specific issue, if i had disposable income!

@benjamincox @dave @actuallyautistic NTs definitely think about the photo thing, because being on camera is such a frequent thing in today's life! And yeah that's how I speak too. My hypothesis is my body is trying to conserve energy so it always defaults to least muscle movement & energy consumption as possible

@Mux

Save me! My attention-hoarding cuddly cat has developed a new annoying routine because i reinforced it only 3 different times 😩

The routine: extreme snuggling and purring and hugging at my desk for 15 minutes straight every morning when I sit down to work.

At the park today I saw another girl sitting having a snack and drink while reading on her own. But she didn't have any earbuds or headphones. And there were TWO DUELING ICE CREAM TRUCKS driving around the park. How was she coping??? 🫡

also she was sitting in the middle of the park, whereas I went way deep into the ornamental garden and sat behind a flower bed with bushes at my back so i could see the enemy coming 😶‍🌫️

I am feeling stronger as a person, from this whole divorce thing.

But it's because I have lifted a very heavy weight of grief and pain, and I'm still lifting it.

It's a very weird feeling to feel strong and sad at the same time.

@MsHearthWitch yeah! I think that's why I have been angry. Because he caused a harmful situation in which I had to become this way, with no choice. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I saw a post here (that I can't find) that kinda changed my life.

It said the best first step to changing the world into a better place is to just stop making fun of people or yourself. Ever. For anything. Including in your own thoughts that you may never speak aloud.

I try very hard to do this! it's such a stabler and nicer-feeling foundation to my thoughts and my life. It sheds a mental weight/burden I couldn't see before.

Such a great distilled bit of advice for a big concept!

Is there a website where I can see which shows are streaming in which countries on which platforms?! So I can know what to switch my VPN to?

In light of covid, I wish my city (or any city really) had outdoor event spaces for medium-big sized cons. With built-in shade, pre-planned layouts with trash cans, maybe some counter tops, maybe half walls to create rows, drinking fountains, bathrooms, electrical outlets, etc.

Not just a big park where they shove a bunch of tents!

Best free screenshot and annotation tool for mac?? I need text, shapes, drawing, arrows, etc.

It's time for an upgrade or at least a jailbreak from this shitty old paid Snaggit software I'm using.

@snaptophobic ohh thank you! i never dive into preview. this might work. it's missing the ability to set style defaults for all the tools, at first glance. 🤔 i'll keep playing with it

My fish aquarium is complete!

Time to add water and start cycling the tank!

Lucky little Betta fish will get a big pretty 20 gallon home.

And 6 different kinds of food to choose from with shrimp, fish, insects, and bloodworms.

Shall be a very spoiled betta living a lavish lifestyle lol

@pathfinder @ashleyspencer you could also just sit on the counter top! That's pretty safe.

Having a rough body pain day.

I realized in a moment of crisis that I have no ice packs. So now... I am holding a tube of frozen meat to my neck. This is my life now.

@MsHearthWitch thank you! i wish i could live in the water so gravity would stop destroying my skeleton!

@MsHearthWitch OHHH that's even better!! i am upgrading my dream to that!

I am absolutely savoring the last few cold weather days. Opening all the windows to make it as cold as possible inside, putting on my comfy sweatshirt and leggings, making hot tea. I don't want it to end 😭

@MsHearthWitch SAME! omg have we talked about this before? it is hard to get any sympathy about hating summer. My body cannot regulate my temperature in summer. I was born this way. It is not a choice! I have been trying to think of ideas this year for what I could wear that would prevent skin from touching skin (which i have identified as the ultimate uncomfy, and when sweat happens). The best I can come up with is wearing tights to add a breathable barrier between skin. Not a great plan lol

@MsHearthWitch i am definitely going to try using antiperspirant on other places besides underarms this year. Lume didn't work for me, it's like it made different bacteria grow instead, i was sad. I do use a natural deodorant that DOES work and it stays active for like days. Best one i've tried! Idk if it's just this special situation with my specific chemistry or what. I can share it if you want but you seem pretty good to go with lume!

@MsHearthWitch i am always trying to find better clothes for summer. i bought some linen pants, crossing my fingers i dont hate them. so far it seems like i cant have any fabric on my legs or it's too hot. i did find one specific brand of bralette i love but they don't last long before the elastic goes. i need to find other brands to try. and for tops i have to do tank tops. do those come in linen? i better search!
