So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

Yes, and it does depend. If I'm around other people, I clamp down on that, hard.
Too many of them would enjoy it.
Looks like the Republican Indiana state Attorney General is now demanding transgender health care records, too.
As @KrissyKat pointed out, they try their tricks out on the trans community first before going after other targets. Probably because we're tiny in number and typically don't have much political clout.

Another book on #autism, "Autism and Asperger syndrome in adults", by Dr Luke Beardon. I had seen him interviewed in a BBC programme on autism and was curious to read some of his work. The book is short and easy to read, and it's written as a dialogue with the autistic reader, discussing things that the autistic person should consider when choosing where to study at uni, where to work, whether to disclose their diagnosis (which he calls "identification", and I love that) etc. It's full of examples from the real life of autistic people and shows how amazing they can be. It's an overview based firmly on the social model, so doesn't go in depth, and it's largely uplifting and provides some practical guidance.

Ya know, I don't really mind the "automatic reaction" part, it's the dwelling on it for days afterward, replaying the moment it went sideways, and thinking of what *should* have happened.
I know these rules in theory, and sometimes in practice, but I'm always messing up in live conversation @FrightenedRat.
There's just too much to process for me to remember these things, especially when dealing with strangers or several people at once.
I've unfortunately internalised a lot of the judgement involved, so every time I catch myself "interacting wrong" I have to deal with the automatic reaction of shame and embarrassment.
Regardless of whether you were diagnosed early or later in life, you may have spent years suppressing your autistic identity and conforming to neurotypical norms. Our focus will be on self-advocacy, unmasking, and cultivating self-care and self-regulation techniques.
Let's embark on this empowering journey together! My #ActuallyAutistic workshops are built in order to create community and bring together like-minded autistic people looking to grow their autistic self. We are all looking to find or get further in touch with our inner lives and unmask and live authentically.

This will sound sarcastic, but it's not. I handle it by discouraging people from sharing personal issues. As long as we're sticking to things that are business related, I'm on known ground.
A friend inspired me to share some of my personal poetry & short stories.
It's ironic, of course, that I share so much here with you all here and even more with those I work with, but I still have felt that this part of my life cannot be shared.
Here goes nothing....

My family name was made more Anglican when the greats moved from France to England, where the French weren't at all popular.

Someone needs to find his factory reset button and hit it.
Hard.

Ayn Rand is the 1Bth retelling of the classic story of someone who had bad things happen when they were children, and never got over it.
She's also reason 14,827 why I think Nietzsche is a drunken idiot.
Of course they don't - that would be silly. They have nowhere to hold their wallets.
Fun fact 4: "bat" spelled backwards is "tab", which among other things can refer to a personal line of credit held by a bar, restaurant, or other service provider. Bats do not have tabs because they do not have a money-based economy.
I wrote a mini-novel positioned 5 years after an alien species "conquered" Earth by providing replicators that gave everyone anything they want, for free, and automated medical equipment that cured any disease or injury, then they left. It brought about the complete collapse of society and governments. A new society was just beginning to form. Sort of.

@melivia @ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic I had a copy of the writer's guide for Voyager, and it's full of stuff that never makes it into the shows -- for one thing, it emphasizes that writers should avoid nerding out on the details.
One of the details that struck me is that most of the volume of Starfleet ships is empty, and can be filled in quickly with modular units as needed for a given mission.
