This news about Elon Turd reversing the Racist Pumpkin ban is hardly a surprise, given how he's been trying desperately to position himself as a free-speech absolutist. He's just putting his money on the "horse" he thinks will win the next presidencial election, so he can score more 💰 and probably even get a tax break #xp
Anyone in the #ActuallyAutistic community or not has sometimes one foot folding abruptly on the side? While walking?
So you have to put your weight on your other leg... or fall.
The funny thing about a choir is that if I can hear my voice, it's because I'm not synchronised with my mates.
Be it the tuning, the level of my voice, the length of the note, failing a silence.
So I need to listen to, sometimes even lip-reading.
As a result, this synchronicity exercise connects me in an amazing way to each chorister.
Together with the breathing, this makes the whole thing the best therapy I have found so far, as a person with autism.
To go further, have a look at the "vagal nerve" and "singing".
AUTISTICS ONLY PLS 😍
What proportion of your classic 'ASD' symptoms do you think are due to you being autistic, and what proportion may be due to having been traumatised, as an autistic person?

#Geopolitics, Toot that I usually erase before tooting...
Yesterday I came to the conclusion that it is difficult for me to trust any information from China, Russia, Ukraine, the United States or the European Union or my actual country, Argentine.
There is always a pinch of, let's say, nationalism in the way the information is given. And that makes it untrustworthy to me.
@lj there's a thread of research and writing about #monotropism, including some of the history, here, if you're interested: https://twitter.com/MxOolong/status/1399649740585906176

Si vous devez passer une échographie sur Metz, surtout si c'est au niveau du ventre, je vous en supplie pour votre sécurité n'allez pas au cabinet de la République !
Je suis complètement sous le choc, incapable de raconter ce qu'il s'est passé exactement, mais j'y ai subi des abus alors que je venais juste pour mon foie (qui n'est pas dans le caleçon, à ce que je sache...)
Prenez soin de vous
Boost très apprécié pour prévenir svp !
I tried to use the #IndieWeb plugin on #WordPress to set up a <link rel="me" …/> element on my blog, which I link to from here.
The documentation was confusing, but eventually I set up a link to here on my WP profile, and said that it was a single-user site. I can’t see the link element added anywhere (but the info has propagated to my Gravatar page).
Any WP/IndieWeb users know what I’m doing wrong?
So here are the results of this multiple choices poll. As usual, many of you have responded and I thank y'all!
So we are a majority to be open to any community (86% of answers in that way) and 7% of the answers would rather avoid the #ActuallyAutistic community. (we can not say if it is because of the hashtag or because of the autistic community in itself).
Voilà!
#Health #PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often described as a traumatic event that is repeated, with all the feelings that come with it.
I'd like to know what is tearing my guts apart all the time. Why did my face suddenly wrinkle? Where does it come from?
Because it's a long story. I can't even take a compliment. The feeling associated with it is foreign to me. I always pretend to be grateful.
#ActuallyAutistic
Do you remember how long it took you to learn to write when you were in school, and what that involved? Copying letters over and over and over while your hand and fingers strengthened and got used to the movements?
Drawing/painting/other-forms-of-crafting are no different. You're learning a new skill; give yourself space to grow and be patient while you learn. You might be bad at first but that's fine, you're allowed to be. Keep going. Practice is part of the process. 💪
