What is the reversal of infodumping? @actuallyautistic
(What would you label "being subjected to or seeking further information on a topic, possibly for current or future deepdive sharing"?)
Very interested in translations or interpretations in other languages, including gestural and/or sign language, if you know any and want to share.

Aw, I just thought of Info dunking. Ah well.
Let info damping be "to rain on someone's misinformation parade." [Maybe dampening? Idk. Linguists take the wheel.]

Lately, I've been watching #LoveOnTheSpectrum .

Two things, that struck me:

1) It's so wholesome to see honest communication, where it matters WHAT you say and not HOW you say it.

2) Although I think there's some extent of belittling and patronizing, it's nice to see what a supportive (home) environment can do. If you're good enough for who you are, if you don't need to "function", if people are proud of your achievements and you can be who you truly are.

I love the diversity of personalities we get to meet. The complexity of relationships is laid bare. And the complexity of families as well.

Relationships have always been a complete mystery to me. Until I met Shellie at least. Finding someone to share your life with seems like a miracle. So unlikely.

#LoveOnTheSpectrum is such great television. On so many levels.

Great people. Meaningful journeys. Amazing documentary. Lovely crew. Camera work and audio are just flawless. Lots of birdies. Clever use of B-roll to bridge the gaps.

Some of the best television in decades.

If you haven’t watched “Love on the Spectrum U.S.” yet, chances are you’ve probably at least heard of Netflix’s docu-romance series that follows several adults with autism as they navigate the world of dating. Cast members have come out in opposition to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his skewed portrayal of the neurological condition. @IndieWire also has some words for RFK Jr. — watch the show!
