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.

I bought myself this shirt a few years ago. π€£ Just kind of claiming it.

People who aren't ND find it distracting or annoying. If I had a dollar for every time someone told me kid-me to stop fidgeting / squirming / clicking / tapping / popping my lips / rubbing my pants leg / whatever , I could buy an island and retire to it.
My autism presents opposite to that. I have hyperlexia, taught myself to read by the time I was 3 or 4, was reading at an adult level by the time I was in 3rd grade. My school records all say I didn't perform to the level they expected.
I have a lifetime of being a disappointment.

Saying ello to all awesome #NeuroSpicy πΆ / #AuDHD / #ActuallyAutistic peeps! 
I've been Tooting a lot about my current struggles relating to: moving/changing life/changing routine/being social on social media. Maybe you've noticed... π
I'm looking for peeps to follow! Peeps to chat with. Maybe you've been in "my" situation, maybe you'll be in "my" situation (soon), or maybe you just wanna try out your social skills (like I do).
Please drop me a Toot!
This time, this Toot, I will be brave and tag the Actually Autistics group for a boost 
Be warned, I either Toot my fingers off, or I'll lurk from a safe hiding spot...
Have a fabulous day πΈ

It's the weekend here, so Scooter gets to sleep a few minutes later, but breakfast is ready when she is.
I resemble that image!

Sounds about right π
I stumbled across a meme that speaks to me.
The Yuppies were formed under senile Ronnie Raygun, and that nasty **nt Nancy.
Yes, they're that clueless.
OK, so we'll go with the Republican argument that guns aren't the problem, people are the problem.
Why do they want problem people to have guns?
Just a little reminder that here in Europe, we play the same exact video games as youth from the United States
We do not have (daily) school shootings however
Instead of blaming video games, start looking at the super easy to get weapons on each corner of street problem
Games are not the problem, weapons are πΊπΈ
J.K. Rowling and "Separating the Art from the Artist"
https://buttondown.email/charliejane/archive/jk-rowling-and-separating-the-art-from-the-artist/
"This hypothetical separation of the person from the thing they created always rankles me a little bit β because I don't think marginalized creators, including trans creators, ever quite get that luxury."
I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I'll put it out there:
OTC sleep aids usually use an antihistamine, for the side-effect of making you drowsy. Not all are equal.
I go to sleep easily, but tend to wake up early - hours early. Doxylamine Succinate stays in your system longer, and will help you stay asleep. I buy 25mg tablets that break in half, so I'm getting 12-13mg, and that works for me.
But didn't great grandmother get married and stay married? Lived her life right! Not like the fast little girls we have today.
My great grandmother had 5 husbands. She married the first at 15. He was in his 40s and she was considered lucky since married to him they could not take the land she owned. (Rocky, hilly soil cut by a river in North Carolina)-- her first husband died of the flu and she got married again right away. She had to be married to exist.
She was a remarkable woman.
My sister reminded me that itβs the anniversary of my first book today! I published The Wolfβs Call on this day twelve years ago and itβs still going strong. Mind you, itβs free, which helps. π

It takes decades to learn to use the differences, and apply them when and where they're appropriate.
Hyperfocus is useful when I'm cranking something out on a deadline. Not as useful when I'm at home, watching TV, and the hubs wants to tell me something, but I don't even hear him.

The UK is very good at piling on politicians for gaffes, but oddly shit at piling on them for being cruel, destructive, avaricious bastards who are making everyoneβs lives noticeably worse.
