It’s very difficult to convince the world that I am not actually asking for it to completely stop every single thing that doesn’t work for my nervous system, I am just asking it to meet me even 1/8 of the way. #ActuallyAutistic

Local news media ran a story stigmatizing self-diagnosis. I'm not very articulate. Could I get some other #ActuallyAutistic folks to help me write an email to this station? This video is so imballanced. #NeuroDiverseSquad #AuDHD #Neurodiversity https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/therapists-say-more-people-are-using-social-media-to-self--diagnose-themselves-with-autism/article_a383d626-fb5e-11ee-8d86-87b5dd3d7f53.html?utm_source=FOX13%252520Memphis%252520News&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Breaking%252520News&

To #blind #techies, does anyone have any suggestions for a pair of noise canceling #headphones purchasable on #Amazon that can connect to my computer running #Windows10, preferrably wirelessly or through Bluetooth. It's even better if they can somehow also connect to a second device and let me hear when my mom calls my #iPhone. This would be something I could use with my computer on days when our dogs are barking a lot so I don't get such bad #SensoryOverLoad. Of course, they need to also either not have software for the computer, or that software needs to be somewhat #accessible. My budget right now is about $80, but I may have up to $120 or so if I wait a day or two.

This is a really great guide to help you prepare in advance for the possibility of having covid, and remind you what to do if the worst happens! I've never seen this kind of info all collated together like this before.

Really valuable resource! (especially if like me you have trouble remembering or making plans etc!)

Pls share around!

REQUESTING URGENT HELP;

If you know me from #Twitter you've been informed that my mom is abusive & ableist...

I'm an Autistic person requesting help to secure safe housing & pay for a plane ticket. A year ago I was planning to move for college, but gradually my mom has been financially trapping me. I now have no solid income atm & I cannot work or drive!

If you’re in or around Dublin and are #ActuallyAutistic, #ActuallyADHD, otherwise #Neurodivergent in any way, or just an ally, Neuro Pride Ireland are holding Neuro Pride @ Dublin Pride this Saturday

Wishing everyone who takes part a fantastic day! ♾🏳️‍🌈

I’m a bit far away to make it along myself sadly

For anyone like me who wouldn’t want to take part in an indoor event anyway, NPI also have an outdoor quiet zone in the #Pride Village the following Saturday 😊

#intro (1/n)

I've been working on computers for a long time, but art has been my passion for longer. I am #actuallyAutistic and I mean, it's pretty obvious if you interact with me ever. I like photography a lot, and will definitely be posting photos. I do some let's say Idiosyncratic visual art. I am very good at some kinds of vector graphics.

I am 1/4 of a tiny games studio Aldercone with @evel you should check it out! I do the programming.
