Hello, I'm looking for an inclusive autism community and this looks good
I’m craving community after the older autism spaces became unsafe or fractured. I’m 27F and I like BTS, tornadoes and collecting information into lists. I’ve been feeling very lonely since the other spaces became unhealthy and harmful. I’m very burned out these days and it’s difficult to find things to be happy about.
Bees are great and wasps are very under recognised. Cross pollination, more varied than bees. They’re great at pest control. Not saying bees aren’t great, but we need more love for wasps.
Glad to have you :) unfortunately Lemmy is not really set up to be a casual conversation tool, it’s a little hard to follow users. It’s mostly used to chat about specific topics in specific threads on them.
I’ve been looking for more community as well, but it’s hard to find. Everyone I meet locally just seems so different from me.
What “older autism spaces” do you mean? What kind of communities were these? What’s BTS stand for?
Something I loved learning about stormchasers is that the professional ones are also first responders to destroyed houses and some have training in first aid and bring chainsaws with them. I love ethical storm chasing, it’s considered good etiquette to stop an exhilarating chase the moment a place is hit and go into first response mode instead.
Oh man, I used to love watching Storm Chasers back in the day! Though I wish it focused more on the storms and less on the drama. I get the itch to rewatch it every now and then, but I can’t bring myself to do it after Tim’s death. He was always my favourite.
The UK actually has the greatest number of tornadoes per square mile than anywhere on Earth but we don’t hear about them because most are under EF3. Sometimes we get supercells similar to the American ones.
I had no idea! I wonder why that is. Thanks so much for that cool tornado fact. Also, your comment led me to learn about the Enhanced Fujima Scale and the Torro scale which is neat!
