@actuallyautistic I did some back-of-the-envelope math, and about 50% of people with PTSD are autistic. That's really incredible when you think of how many more allistics there are.
@actuallyautistic Seriously, though, I'd be willing to pay money for quality children's shows that feature autistic major characters for my little ones to watch.
I remember reading an article written by someone who had an autistic child and their child loved Guardians of the Galaxy because of the character Drax, who mimicked closely the way this child's autism presented.
@actuallyautistic I just realized I thought about one of my triggers and then didn't immediately chastise myself for thinking about it. I'm making progress.
@actuallyautistic I'm in the process of switching one of my meds to another one because my #ADHD inattention was starting to get bad. I was really apprehensive because it's switching from one selective reuptake inhibitor to another, and withdrawal symptoms for that can be pretty intense. But within a few hours of the first dose I could pay attention to things again and my thoughts started to seem more related to each other. No withdrawal symptoms yet (knock on wood). I'm just so happy about it!
@actuallyautistic This #AllismAwarenessMonth, take a few minutes to think about how drab NTs report their world is like, then feel sad for them for a bit.
I'm just sad because I put a lot of effort into an #AutismAcceptanceMonth post on Facebook and it got less interaction than my posts usually get. Most of my friends don't know that I'm #ActuallyAutistic, although some of them know some of my children are.
@BernieDoesIt@pathfinder@punishmenthurts@lori@dibi58 both FB and Twitter are holes on the digital earth. It’s important to move away from them forever.
Can we talk about grocery shopping while #ActuallyAutistic? It's bad enough that my level of supplies changes. My time blindness says I already bought paper towels so I shouldn't have to do that again.
At this point I've come to realize that if someone famous dies and @GottaLaff doesn't say how nice they were to work with then they must have been a total jerk.
By "independently reinvented Hitler's rhetoric" is that his father forced so much of it down the family's proverbial throats that he can regurgitate direct quotes at will.....
