@joshsusser @ScottSoCal @f1337 @actuallyautistic Lol! Yes, that’s what we’re known for, isn’t it? Being so relatable.

I love my dog, for so many reasons but today it was connections...

Met a lady with two dogs as she passed my boat. Naturally we chatted about dogs.

Later we met again, more chat about dogs... then her husband's health, and her #ActuallyAutistic teenage daughter and the dog she got to help her cope.

Bingo! Long chat, lots of mutual understanding.

All thanks to my dog and the wonderful healing supportive qualities of dogs! 🐕

@actuallyautistic

It brings me so much joy when a dog or cat walks up to me to say hello. Seeing, meeting and petting animals is always a highlight of my days.

It's less "finally, someone shares my interests" and more "this seems to interest them, I'll share all I know so we can continue the conversation with the same level of knowledge".

... but then there's usually very little continuing of conversations involved...

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

President Biden told his fellow leaders at the G7 summit that the U.S. will support a joint plan to train Ukrainian pilots on advanced fighter jets, including U.S.-made F-16s. https://t.co/shwkRMPlgS

Another year, another fucking book whining about "dying masculinity" that just boils down to "Why I can't I be a selfish asshole anymore."

It's weird. Almost all of my male role models were powerful and selfless, guys who saw their role as using their power to protect people who didn't, and happily surrendering that power if that's what it took. Where the fuck is this bratty whining about I'm a real man am too am too am too coming from anyway?

@lmgenealogy @ScottSoCal @f1337 @actuallyautistic oh yeah. Totally. My youngest son was diagnosed at 3 years old and as I observed his behavior growing up I was like...wait...was this me at his age? I think it was.

He apparently had a lot of internal dialogue that he later described to me when he was more verbal and able to communicate and I was like. Oh.

I never realized I had those same internal dialogues or outward behavior.

I thought I just had social anxiety, but desperately wanted to connect with people who ultimately thought my behavior was weird.

Now I'm like...ok, it's really cool that he gets a jump start on building coping skills and communication. It took me forever to obtain that.

We obviously need an aggressive policy response to the gun violence emergency. But a society in which this kind of behavior is widespread, and one major party’s political elites as well as millions of their followers regard it as somehow acceptable, also needs to look much deeper. 1/

Hello! I am migrating here and so, with some edits, reposting (yet again, sorry if you've seen this multiple times now!) it for future people to read if they come across my profile.

I'm Jessica, a British autistic ace in her 30s.

I have found acceptance and understanding in the #neurodivergent community which helps me learn something new about myself every day. I use my account to learn more and talk about my life and experiences as someone who recently learned they belonged to these communities.

I used to think I was shy, introverted and antisocial. I never posted much online for fear of being judged or misunderstood, it was easier to just keep to myself. I now know this isn't true, and I just hadn't found the right community.

Since being on Mastodon, I've really enjoyed meeting various people across many different communities. In a different pinned post, I've listed a bunch of interests in hashtags - feel free to follow if we share stuff in common!

Men’s pants: Your waist is 30 inches, therefore you are a size 30.

Women’s pants: Your waist is bad inches, you have wide hips, a small butt, short legs, a prehensile tail, and we don’t like your face. Therefore you are a size whatever the fuck we want, but only at this store.

Good idea: Senator Warren has spearheaded a bipartisan legislation, called Failed Bank Executives Clawback Act, which would allow the FDIC to take back any pay made to the bank executives in the five years leading up to the lenders’ collapse. US senators grilled the bosses of failed Signature Bank and SVB over accountability and pay packages. The executives refused the suggestion to hand back their pay to the FDIC-: https://qz.com/signature-bank-svb-failed-bank-executives-clawback-act-1850444325
