@actuallyautistic Have you seen this resource yet?

“The Autism Books by Autistic Authors Project is an (ongoing) attempt to catalogue all books — non-fiction and fiction — written about and related to autism by Autistic authors.”

There are over 1,000 books catalogued! Including mine and other authors I see in my feed here on Mastodon.

@benetnasch @BZBrainz @actuallyautistic @bookstodon That is super exciting! I found it while looking for more books to read about autism by autistic authors. Then I saw how this was expanded, found my own workbook under non-fiction, and thought maybe I would submit my spicy PNR books (different pen name) for their other sections. When you can, I hope to see more of your work up there!

I binge-read The Murderbot Diaries (1-7) by @marthawells, and now there are no more out, and I'm feeling unmoored. I have a very long TBR list, but... I want more Murderbot. Difficulty with social reciprocity, comfort in rewatching favorite series, disliking eye contact or touch, and so much more. I get why reviews say this series is "one of the most human experiences you can have in sci-fi."

@oldmankris I also enjoyed that series, but it’s been well over a decade since I read it and I can’t recall if I completed the series. I’ll revisit it. Thank you!

If you read large print or dyslexic font paperback books do you prefer this to be indicated on the cover (say on a banner at the top) to help you identify the accommodation?

I compiled a quick poll based on different perspectives I've read.

➡️ Please consider sharing to help me reach more readers.

@PedalHoppy @BZBrainz I can do that! I will also poll on other social media to cast a wider net.

@bookstodon I am hoping my poll will keep teacher the readers of large print and dyslexic font. If you have a moment or know someone, please boost this signal.

I’m in the middle of a big move to a small rental & I almost missed Late-Identified AuDHD’s first birthday. ALMOST!

About thirty minutes to midnight I looked at my bookshelf, saw my 1st copy, remembered I forgot to do a cover reveal for the upcoming second edition, and decided to celebrate with a post and a Reese’s egg.

Moving, meltdowns, shutdowns, strain—none of that is fun—but this egg? Systematically peeling it is joy.

@actuallyautistic Someone just recommended Alexandra Streliski as accompaniment for reading and writing—Mastadon crashed before I was able to pull the artist up on Spotify. Thank you! I was not familiar with them and I have enjoyed every song I’ve played. My spouse says thank you too. 🥰

Me: I can’t find my ear phones.

Spouse: Your earbuds? Have you checked the top pockets of your overalls?

Me: The empty case is there. I’m not sure why I didn’t put them in their case. I put the case there so I could put them away easily.

I’ve never had pain during the Beighton score for but after? Ugh. I’m not the most bendy of the zebras at 6/9 and yet each clinician seems to need or want to try to validate a well documented finding. Started another go round of physical therapy today, so I do understand the need to document the 200+ ROM of my shoulders. Still 6/9 and no, I’m not bending my thumb back again because this body has been keeping receipts for the last 3+ decades—thanks. @chronicillness

Does anyone know what database it might live in? I gave Google Scholar and Pubmed a go.

I have a goal of turning every book I read this year into an earring. I got started a little late in Jan so I missed about 5 of them and have ~5 made so far. I'm not sure that I'll go back and do the ones that I missed.

Late to announce, but Late-Identified AuDHD one years old today AND is getting a title update and a new cover this year. Cover was designed for the second edition by 100Covers.

Late-Identified A Beginner’s Workbook coming soon. First edition and original cover, made by moi, still available. ➡️ https://books2read.com/audhd

I was given the opportunity to push out an update to the first edition of the Late-Identified workbook. It is always embarrassing to find a typo—even with multiple editors, beta/ARC readers, + the hundreds of times I have read through it—but correcting mistakes is also a privilege. While I was updating the typo, I updated my reference to AANE. They recently updated their name to the Association for and . @actuallyautistic

Not only did my blog post go out several days early (whoops), but it's also a bit of a wandering rant prompted by “Shop the DSM–5 Collection” and an interaction with my niece on Pokémon.

@chronicillness I love night shift. I love being awake at night and I love the personalities night shift attracts… and chronic illness has said, “No more nights, unless it’s insomnia I’ve made for you, or I will punish you disproportionate to the offense.” And isn’t that just chronic illness in a nutshell?

My spouse delights me. I've been rumbling this week as we get ready for a move and swamped by shame for my reactions—I hate feeling out of control.

They gave me a gift. I did not respond to the gift, felt awful for not acknowledging it, and then excessively apologized.

Spouse: "I never expect you to be excited about chocolate. If it were an appropriately shaped Reese's, that would be a whole different story."

Their comment made me feel loved and seen and brightened my evening. I have a particular way of eating certain foods and disassembling them in an order, which makes me very happy. When I struggle to be compassionate with myself or gentle with others, they still reach out to me.

I really relate to NDWelness’s content—their videos center their ND experience often through skits. In TikTok they can be found under NDWellness.

Here’s a link to a video that I related to today.

Really hard conversation today about what was given up in youth for the sake of before we were old enough to understand the cost. Touched on everything from special interests to expressions of gender identity. ❤️‍🩹
