I just did some training with a bunch of managers and I was masking so hard the whole time. It was exhausting.

I have only worked one day this week, and waking up at 6:30 after a terrible night's sleep in raging heat meant that I had a migraine at lunchtime, but it didn't present typically so I didn't recognise it.
I only did just now at 22:30 when I finally vomited.

Let’s clarify #auspol
Do you think “support” means I should study two full-time higher degrees and run my business supporting other #disabled and #neurodiverse people whilst managing my own complex long-term physical and #MentalHealth issues while living in #poverty, without any help or #spoons?
Got it.
I was just imagining in a near dream state 'bed tents', a fabric cover held up by poles curved over the bed so you are more private and less perceived in bed.

Autistic people, do you have a weighted blanket?
As ever, comment for "other".

Feels like a good day to focus on some concrete knowledge. I like this essay by Nick Walker / @DrNicky on the definition and usage of "neurodiversity", "neurodivergent", and some related terms. It's nice to see it all laid out with full, clear explanations. And I accept all these definitions as correct, with no need to quibble or qualify.
I still think we need some better words for these concepts, as I don't like the framing that defines NDs in relation to the special class of NTs. But as long as we're stuck with these words, we should know what they mean and how to use them.
Terms defined in this post:
- neurodivergence
- neurodivergent
- neurodiverse
- neurodiversity
- neurodiversity movement
- neurodiversity paradigm
- neurominority
- neurotypical

I'm autistic so all my words are meant gently. Most will ignore this and read me negatively below instead.
I can't read negativity in behavior or writing of others.
Instead I can tell when others trigger me and interpret that as their being negative.
Exes family and friends didn't and don't trigger me bc we are open to talking
