In a Land of Myths

A totally random place that has all to do with me and my nerdiness.

as an autistic kid I got criticized for not making eye contact. so as an adult I trained myself to make very consistent eye contact (easier said than done). this in turn has led to some people telling me it’s “kinda weird” that I “stare so much.” the moral of this story is there is actually no pleasing neurotypicals

I had a similar problem in Primary school, ‘cause I was always looking out the window instead of at the board. My mum would always be like:

'Does she put her hand up to answer a question?’

'Yes…’

'Is it the right answer?’

'Yes…’

'Then what’s the problem?’

this! this is a great way to support your kid. behavioral quirks are only problems if they get in the way of a child’s personal progress or are actually disruptive or harmful. neutral behaviors like not making eye contact are fine, and we need to change the expectation that a social behavior is 'wrong’ just because it is less typical.

What people think this means “I’ll use this as an excuse to do whatever I want all day instead of committing to other things that need to be done”

What it actually means “I’ll be obsessively checking the clock all day because I’m constantly worried I’ll be late if I don’t. I also worry that if I commit to doing anything else important that day it’ll distract me from the time and I’ll miss the appointment. This will be a day filled with anxiety and in no way relaxing until the appointment is over with"

1. your suffering can’t end until you stop identifying with it. if your sense of self is tied up in your suffering, anyone or anything that attempts to separate you from it will become the enemy because, whether consciously or subconsciously, you will on some level believe they are trying to take away a part of who you are.

2. read the above again.

In case anyone was worried, this is a Nurse Shark, one of the types of sharks that doesn’t need to swim forward to breathe!  It also doesn’t appear to be distressed at all, it seems like it’s just chilling.

[jenniferrpovey]

More evidence that fish can play.

[dancing-coyote]

Trust me, if a nurse shark doesn’t want something done to it, it WILL let you know. Very, very painfully. They don’t bite often, but they WILL bite when provoked and can deal out serious damage.

This shark is, indeed, just chilling.

[bogleech]

All correct! And most “fish” (an umbrella term for things less related to one another than you are to a hummingbird, but still) including sharks and rays show at least the intelligence of cats and dogs! Sharks are fully trainable, but also just very well equipped to learn on their own and remember what’s a threat and what isn’t.
