@st0neybrat my favorite kind of story.

Effective opening lines can also tell us about the struggle of the protagonist whose adventure we are about to follow...

@glauber @franciscawrites @bookstodon This made me look again at this book and add it to my . The movie was playing the day a close family member passed away… I remember none of it except she enjoyed it. I could never get myself to watch it let alone touch one of his books (outside of Good Omens). I’m looking forward to it now.

Workbooks out in the wild. 😂 I keep forgetting to post about them—my goal will be to get back on track as soon as I get back to Washington. @audhd

I am not excellent at planning a complex schedule—it's been a lifelong challenge riddled with disorganization and sprint fixations with . My current planner is the longest I've ever used a planner consistently for—3 quarters! The two things that are different than previous attempts are adding buffers to my schedule and trying to break down tasks. It's a work in progress that I am proud of. @audhd @adhd

@Adhdinos @actuallyautistic
I neither want to be bored or overworked—and that’s not even entering into the conversation around fair compensation or present ability to work. There must be a happy medium between enough stimulation at work and not being over worked because ones “output” or “speed” or “benchmarking” is more than one’s colleagues.

@estellechauvelin @actuallyautistic @Adhdinos @audhd I feel that too! I find that I’m not usually directly funny, but I do tend to make people laugh by how I say them. It’s unintentional. Is that true for you too?

Week two into my move and new job. Rumbling has been a difficult to manage, but I’ve known for a long time that good and bad experiences can lead to rumbling and meltdowns or shutdowns. I’m hopeful for a time soon when the newness wears off a bit and routine can shoulder some of the burden of stimulation.

@Adhdinos @actuallyautistic
I'm asking for help. If you have the spoons to spare, could you help me find a replacement for this ceramic dish? I am hunting for an exact pattern match—"The Blueberry Plate," my 8 yr old niece's favorite dish. She accidentally dropped her plate while trying to get it to the sink. 16P Proximal Deletion Syndrome, another type of neurodivergence in my family, can make muscle tone, coordination, and proprioception difficult. THANK YOU!

@Htaggert @actuallyautistic @Adhdinos Thank you! The manufacture was able to identify the pattern and now I’m just waiting for someone to post one. ♥️

@swordplay @Adhdinos @actuallyautistic I’m going to tuck this idea away. If I don’t find it within a few days, I will do this. It will hopefully help my niece and support an artist too.

@Tooden @swordplay @Adhdinos @actuallyautistic I did find the manufacturer! Gibson Home. Pretty ubiquitous… except for what I’m hunting for. I asked my sister to pull out the pieces and send me photos then reached out to the company to see if they could give me any more leads.

@bransonturner thank you!! I will do this now. I’ve got more info on the plate and I hope they can help.

@BZBrainz@mastodonbooks.net avatar

@Tooden @swordplay @Adhdinos @actuallyautistic I’ve narrowed it down and found the brand. I reached out to the company to see if they had more info THEN tagged them in a video. I’m going to find it.

I was privy to an interesting convo today on different people’s complex feelings around the term vs . I know people who passionately prefer one, both, or an alternative non-medical umbrella term to describe their unique neurotype when not using specific language from medical books or the DSM-5.

Please note, I am not using these as synonyms for ADHD/ASD—I am tagging groups I belong to & enjoy engaging with. @actuallyautistic @Adhdinos

@Yana_yz @actuallyautistic @Adhdinos I’ve always interpreted it as a term for neurodivergent people that is used with and by neurodivergent people. While I’m less likely to say Neurospicy, I respect it’s use and love language as it changes. Do you find that it is used more with close circles or with fellow Neurospicy individuals? As always, no pressure to answer.

    @PsychTink @neurodivergent @audhd I hope we get some responses for 8D songs. There’s a Spotify channel that’s okay called 8D Music 2023. @actuallyautistic @Adhdinos

    It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a theater and even when I did go, it was rare. Tonight, I’m going to go meet a new potential friend for a movie and I think I’m excited. My competing needs can make friendship challenging, and despite difficult experiences, I’m still open to learning and trying to connect in the ways that I am able. Cheers to new friendship! And potentially finishing up my first newsletter this week.

    The bus drivers in Portland are some of the kindest and most communicative drivers I have ever met. I really appreciate them.

    I've seen a few accounts on Mastodon that have the hashtag and I'm a bit confused. Does it convey a different message compared to having an hashtag?

    BZBrainz,
    @BZBrainz@mastodonbooks.net avatar

    @actuallyautistic
    @nhan I think it depends on the context. Here is my understanding of this hashtag and I welcome others to chime in or chase the hashtag back to the controversy. I have been told that was originally pushed by the organization speaks to reframe the online conversion on what “real autism looks like.” The response was not as intended and the autistic community interested in reclaiming it did so.
