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.

A couple of weeks ago, in another place where I generally feel safe, someone made a scathing comment - not to me, or even about me - about "self-diagnosed autistics". Without a signed certificate, apparently we aren't worthy of the label.
I've been stewing about it ever since, and sometimes doubting myself. This morning I'm peeved. Who the hell is that person to make declarations about other people - including me?
My previous actually autistic posts gave me some excellent answers and furthered my processing a lot. Thanks to everyone involved! π
I self-diagnosed very late. Some big reasons have been a) not having certain stereotypical qualities such as aversion of eye contact, and b) scoring between NT and autistic in many online tests. Interestingly, the realization that I'm autistic wasn't that big identity-wise. I've understood I have certain qualities ages ago. Instead of a change in my identity, it's been a big relief to understand why I'm this and that.
There's still lots to process though. I'm only now coming to grips with how my memory works, for instance.
Ordered two books on autism, Neurotribes and the Devon Price book. Really looking forward to reading those.

re: politics--what replaces the republican party?
When it wasn't shorthand for "I don't like antidiscrimination laws."
@gentrifiedrose@mastodon.social
Republicans passed many gun control laws during the days of the Black Panthers.
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 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 love watching righties lose their shit over stuff like this. I mean, itβs absolutely fucking glorious.

The other Ukraine bill also passed in the House:
The bill to expand Russian sanctions and start confiscating Russian assets for Ukraine!
The US far-right is made up of some of the stupidest people you'll ever encounter -- folks who claim to be proud of a country they've never bothered to study.
To anyone who doesn't get what's funny, this statue was designed and built in France. Jesse slept through third grade.
I agree with her that Mikey should resign, but our reasons are totally opposed.
MTG Demands Speaker Mike Johnson 'Resign' or 'Be Vacated' Over Ukraine Aid
Yeah, well, about that...
@joekoffee Good Morning JoeβοΈβοΈβοΈ and #HappySundayFunday to youβοΈ
Apartheid Boy is concerned about Ukraine. Imagine the quality and depth of my sympathy for him.
Elon Musk expressed concern about the lack of an exit strategy from the war in Ukraine
"What worries me the most is that there is no exit strategy, just an eternal war in which children die in the trenches from artillery or machine guns and snipers, in minefields," Musk said on the social network X.
- Exit strategy? That is easy: Russia is free to leave Ukraine at any time! Who else could possibly exit??
Mykhailo Podolyak, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, emphasized the strategy: The withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.
Podolyak, further commenting on Musk's post, said that after such posts by global influencers, "one has to wonder once again about the lack of basic logic in the modern world."
Unless you're a gay male, because we're supposed to be fashion-conscious and spend an inordinate amount of time coordinating.
I cheat because my other half buys my clothes, and I worked out a system to keep me from wearing the same clothes over and over. Clothes to wear get pulled from the left, clothes from laundry get put in from the right. Everything stays in rotation, and I can manage to pick colors that match.
Worf was on the side of the group trying to destroy Risa.
