TW: homophobia

I wanted to share a couple of the violent and homophobic responses I received after talking about my spouse of 20 years. We are an Out, Queer, Neurodivergent couple—this will not be the first or the last time I receive comments like this. This sort of behavior is not acceptable and the community should be aware of these screen names.

@shiri I’ve never heard of this before and really appreciate learning about these steps. Thank you. I will do this.

@msquebanh @lgbtqia @actuallyautistic i apparently needed to update my reporting/blocking skills. It’s likely going to be needed this month.

Water. Swimming. Being near the bay. There is only a few childhood photos of me with a wide natural smile… they all involve water.

Sleep is crucial for self-regulation. If you’re please do not relegate sleep to your “luxuries” list.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I cannot emphasize this enough. This was a hard lesson that I wish I had learned sooner.

Anyway, my sleep schedule is completely screwed up again. Woke up at 3PM+ yesterday, and haven’t slept since (it’s now 7AM here where I live).

I wonder if sleep schedule issues are something that other people face as well?

@eonity @actuallyautistic very much so. As a child, I slept little and only on my terms—my poor parents.

@BZBrainz So I received my copy of the book from Amazon a few days ago - I get what you're saying about the cover - glossy would be cooler, but this I can live with.

Fortunately, the contents so far are brilliant, so I guess I'll have to just leave it open :)

@grrrr_shark Thank you for the feedback, I very much appreciate it. ♥️ I think the matte cover will be fully phased out when I put out the second edition (likely next year). Hopefully my care and love for this workbook will show. Thank you for your support!

My new book on and is out now and available for order!

Please help this book reach as many people as possible, it is self-published, I don't have access to any help with marketing, it's all done through word of mouth.

@DivergentDumpsterPhoenix @actuallyautistic @autisticadvocacy @bookstodon David, I’m excited to check this book out. I’m also an indie author and would be happy to share your book on a local peer group discord I’m on for adults with ASD.

@writingcommunity @bookstodon
I’m so disappointed in D2D’s (Draft 2 Digital) response to my request to upload a large print paperback. It’s very similar to Amazon’s.

@sharonecathcart @writingcommunity @bookstodon Thank you for those tips. I’m working on the PDF now and I’ll keep going back to Amazon. They’ve declined to link books several times now, instead telling me to write “large print available” in the product description, blurb, and my bio. I think I’ll hunt down some examples to show them that it is being done.

@actuallyautistic
Glossy cover versus matte. I hate the feel of the matte and my spouse loves it. I’m not sure which is better for the majority of us. Matte is what’s up on Amazon for now, but the color saturation of the glossy one is so appealing.

Two copies of Late-Identified AuDHD laid side by side. One is cover is glossy (front side) and one is matte (back side).

@grrrr_shark @actuallyautistic To my fingers, it’s glorious… and matte makes me fingers crawl back into fists.

    @argumento @actuallyadhd I usually listen to one song on repeat with minimal to no vocals. I chose the BPM based on mood and energy needs. Last month I was really into the Sandman Soundtrack. And then totally different, here’s one I frequently listen to when I’m tired and trying to write. https://open.spotify.com/track/1p9TBsFqLP5KRWypjFznWp?si=44781cb6e6e3447d

    @argumento @actuallyadhd One more example, different energy. Music helps provide the stimuli I need to stay in one space to work. https://open.spotify.com/track/1p9TBsFqLP5KRWypjFznWp?si=48c83752e4924732
