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.

Prepping for active shooter situations in school.
Iβm sure they were just standing their playground.
The dangers of Australia are exaggerated by the media. The truth is that at least 62% of Australian children reach adulthood without being consumed by predators. Not bad!
@actuallyautistic So I went to my event today. As I was waiting in line to order at the counter, I noticed I was flat out stimming. Not stimming to music, not secretly stimmings. I was stimming in the open. I was tapping my fists together. The middle phalanges of the left fist were hitting the base phalanges of the right.
I went down to sit with my coffee and waited for my food to arrive, and I continued stimming. Whenever my hands were not busy with something else I was stimming. My forms of stimming changed. Sometimes I was tapping my fists, sometimes I played the imaginary piano on the table.
My paresthesia was much lower during this event. I think the stimming was actually helping reduce the impact of social anxiety.
Nobody gave me grief over it. I openly told people that I'm autistic. One lady told me her 12yo daughter is also autistic.
I know I stimmed like this when I was younger, but I don't recall the details.
I'm learning to drop the mask.

I need to see some objective evidence.
every month I host a virtual coffee chat for autistic entrepreneurs & social entrepreneurs to connect, network, share their ideas, and discuss their successes & challenges as autistic leaders in the business & non-profit world.

But Fox News says Hunter left the cocaine there to distract from the terrible economy.
Fox wouldn't lie to us, would they?
Trump promised the "best economy ever."
Biden actually delivered it:
β’ 17 straight months of sub-4% unemployment, the longest stretch of sub-4% unemployment in over 50 years
β’ Labor force participation for prime-working-age Americans at a 22-year high
β’ 13.2 million jobs created since Biden took office
β’ Wages rising faster than inflation
β’ Inflation and unemployment both lower than when Reagan won a landslide reelection in 1984

Iβm on a short road trip to the Pacific Ocean for a writing retreat with two of my favorite people! And I forgot to bring my traveling copy of Late-Identified #AuDHD A Starter Workbook. Do I need to take this workbook traveling with around the state? No, but itβs fun. π₯° Check out these older traveling photos from close to Mt. Baker.

My GP told me I really needed the MRI today, so I went back. They gave me Ativan, which didn't do much for me. When I asked the how long we were going to wait for the first shot to kick in, they called the nurse and she gave me a shot of something else - Versed. The combination was stellar. MRI was over before I knew it, chatted with the MRI techs. Now I'm back home, and I'm ready to go to bed.
From what the technician said to me it seems like everyone finds it traumatic - itβs just for some people the response to it is to shut down so they donβt βfeelβ it the same way. I guess I was just lucky to fall in to that camp.
I hope that the information they get from it makes it worth having gone through it.
And I figured I'd be all right, until they put that shield on my face, and it pressed on my chest. I have an "athletic" build, and my chest/ribcage is significantly larger than is normal for my height/weight/waist. They commented on it, then slid me into the machine, while I felt my chest compressed and I couldn't take a deep breath. It felt like being buried alive. When the noises started, it was way over the line of what I could take.
