Reminder: If you're marginalizing ppl bc they're not using alt text, you're being #abelist.

Some ppl who are neurodivergent in a way that makes alt text impossible. You telling them to "just try harder" or excluding then is no diff than telling blind ppl to "look harder" or paraplegics to "just walk.

Stop valuing ppl with #neurodivergent traits as less important than ppl with physical challenges. Haven't we marginalized #neurodivergence enough?

If you didn't know, now you know.

Given the climate in the US, it might be worth considering whether a professional diagnosis is better than a self diagnosis. Weigh up the pros and cons.

I found this list to be useful. Copy it into a word processor or print it off and highlight all the ones you see in yourself. I did that, and got my ex to highlight what he saw in me. Before that I did used to doubt, but seeing that made me realise that I do have a lot of autistic traits (already got fobbed off once when trying for a diagnosis years ago, so I'm trying again).

There's also the raads-r test and a few other good ones on Embrace Autism, and idrlabs.com has a few that give you a cool pie chart. I find the AQ ones to be meh, the questions are too open for interpretation, but my GP required it before he could refer me.

The hardest part about unmasking is developing the courage and resilience to act against the interest of another person (usually by upholding a personal boundary you've ignored so far) and to then strike the right balance in determining who deserves an explanation (because they actually want to listen) and who is a lost cause and just wants you to admit that you're wrong.

It's a really odd thing to go through when so far you've tried to please everyone. Who are you to put your judgement over the judgement of other people?

This has me terrified.
I am a parent to an #autistic child with #adhd. She is not broken. She does not have a disease that needs to be cured.
She has a #neurotype that is only recently being acknowledged and accepted.
#neurodivergence need sto stop being seen as "other" or as needing to conform to some arbitrary "normal".
#vaccines save lives. There is 0 link with vaccines and autism.But even if there were, if you'd rather your child have #polio than autism, you shouldn't have kids at all.

IMG_1519.jpeg Image Breakdown Long Description: The image shows a background of a sandy beach with gentle waves lapping against the shore. In the foreground, there are several overlaying text boxes containing text. A child wearing a yellow outfit is crouching on the beach, partially visible at the bottom of the image. The sky appears cloudy, and there are trees or dense foliage visible in the distance. Alt-text: Text overlay on a beach background with a child crouching. Transcribed Text: The CDC under RFK jr’s direction will be investigating AGAIN whether there is a correlation between vaccines and autism This study has been done multiple times with over 1.2 million autistic children already No link has EVER been found and it won’t be This will likely have knock on effects, it could normalize harmful non evidence based “treatments” that are already gaining traction, like enemas, restricting safe foods, detoxes Not to mention fuel vaccine skepticism Let us live.

Yo Mastodon ! Est-ce qu'il y en a ici qui prennent ou ont pris des anti-dep en même temps qu'un traitement du TDAH (Sertraline l'anti-dep, et Medikinet pour le TDAH, mais si pas les mêmes dîtes toujours) et qui pourraient me faire un retour sur les éventuels effets secondaires ? C'est pas pour moi, mais c'est un poil urgent, la personne commence les anti-dep demain matin.
Merci et love sur vos têtes <3
Ah, et "le repouet est doux" ? Selon l'expression consacrée ?

Please join us for this one-day conference on research and practice on #religion, #disability and #neurodivergence (focusing on social scientific research but anyone with an interest is welcome)! Online or in London, UK. Also I am the keynote speaker so don’t make me talk to an empty room. Or do. I’m not sure which is more nerve-wracking just now. (Yes, it’s my first keynote, why do you ask?) britsoc.co.uk/groups/study-gro

This took me a long time to figure out because my task brain works the same way. This includes things like cooking, exercising, etc. You really have to find the -actual- smallest chunk, because:

1. Not all tasks have to be done daily so it's important to separate
2. Writing the list out of tasks should be the first task
3. It's best to keep goals to 5 tasks and no more unless you feel up to it
