That is part of the problem the older you get. Family is invested in how they've come to see and accept you and also in many ways explain you. In denying your autism they feel as if they are still being kind and fair to you. To accept you as they always have. Which isn't super helpful if you want them to see you in your new light and because of it change that dynamic.

SPEAKING OF MUSIC: I just put together an 8-minute bit of trance-y electronica derived from a NASA recording of data from Juno as it did a flyby of the Jovian moon Ganymede. You know, like you do. It's here if you want to check it out:

I made a new #bee friend today!

Nailed it.

A simple question for all those protestors that waste their time turning up to pride parades 🥰

The very worst possibility of Trump's betrayal of America:

In Oct 2021, CIA Counterintel warned that an unusually high number of US spies were being killed, captured, or compromised.

In Jan 2021, Trump stole documents on these kind of informants - and may have shared them.

Something a little zen and calming for you today - hope it relaxes you, too!

The reason why inanimate objects are used in slogans about humans is to make people more comfortable using them casually.
“Stop the boats” is not for those who have no problem being hostile to others based on race or creed. It is for those sitting on the fence of overt prejudice.

Ah, gotcha. I was not familiar with the term in this context. Once again I am learning of a known, labelled trait that is me all over. It is something I have been gently (usually) mocked for my entire life.
I infodump and on things of concern I insist on it. When Dad was in hospital & had a sundowners episode I went to nurse station & said "Get me someone who can tell me everything there is to know about sundowners."

What role does sex play in the lives of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades?

Some of us absolutely need it for regulation, others not. Others see it thru it a different prism. It’s taboo to talk about it, let’s change that.

I can't find where this thread started but I think I get the gist of the topic. I have (politely) grilled my various specialists, & dad's when he was alive, for detail & context; they have always been responsive & appear to enjoy it. I "justify" my inquiry with "I'm an engineer; I find the human body fascinating." That generally shifts them into professorial mode & I get what I seek - detailed understanding of their diag, Rx.

Info dump on me folks

The Custard-filled Binbag takes his leave of the political stage with the predictably blimpish gracelessness of the golf club drunk being told to put his trousers back on.

If you know someone who's just now taking n95 and kn95 masks seriously again, here's a couple of reminders:
1) projectn95.org is a searchable database of masks which can be delivered right to your house.
2) 3M reusable n95-p100 respirators are available at hardware stores.

Isn't it great to wake up on a day that Pat Robertson didn't?
