Okay, I confess: I've started watching #TheGoodDoctor out of curiosity.

Now, I need to talk about it with the @actuallyautistic people, but I'm also interested in non-autistic impressions.

Of course there's the question of representation. #seanmurphy is the stereotypical savant autistic. But there are people like him, right? To me, that's fine.

Then there's a lot of prejudice. To me, it seems a bit exaggerated. If he has succeeded in studying medicine, why are they so concerned?

Last spring we had ravens nesting nearby. They are loud! They didn't nest here this year but they're still around, often calling to each other. Here's my tribute to this intelligent bird - I have added a quilted effect to my #artwork to give it a 3D look.

I wasn't diagnosed originally with any of these, but Aspergers Syndrome. Only years later when I had to be diagnosed AGAIN in a different country from where I was born post DSM-5 did I receive this diagnosis of Level 2. Which is ironic, of course, in that people often equate "aspergers' with "level 1".

Listening to NT “autism experts” speaking about things like unmasking, making boundaries, and advocacy is like listening to Jerry Falwell talk about reproductive rights or Enoch Powell speaking about race relations.

A nice moment in my singing lesson today: with help and guidance, my voice did what I wanted, and then my coach and I both raised our arms in victory and went "yay!"

I've been given interoception homework for next lesson, although it wasn't called that.

Also I started crying twice, because of the *music*, man.

She mainly seems amused.

I just asked my pops to join me at punk show so he can make sure I get pulled out of the mosh pit.

Isn’t that what dads are for?

The Incredible and Daring Dove.

This white winged dove (Zenaida asiatica) is taking a stroll along this wing like it's a sidewalk. I'm not really astonished; they fly by the way.

"Originally a bird of desert thickets, the White-winged Dove has become a common sight in cities and towns across the southern U.S. When perched, this bird’s unspotted brown upperparts and neat white crescents along the wing distinguish it from the ubiquitous Mourning Dove. In flight, those subdued crescents become flashing white stripes worthy of the bird’s common name. Take a closer look and you’ll see a remarkably colorful face, with bright-orange eyes and blue “eye shadow.”" - allaboutbirds.org

@ScottSoCal Thank you. I appreciate it. I picked up a magazine yesterday, hours after my cat passed away and one of the articles was "A Cat's Brain, How they Think Learn, and Communicate." Just knowing they love us like we love them, brings comfort.

Does anyone have an #BookRecommendations on grief due to #PetLoss?

Please yell shit at neo-Nazis when they are in your town and have someone film it. It is on its face a good thing to do and it galvanizes your neighbors yell shit at neo-Nazis wherever they may occur.
