"don't worry scientists will invent a way to solve climate change!" They already did... several times over... just the people who didnt like their solutions (cough cough oil companies) had enough cash to shut them up both legally and illegally

In hindsight being a “gifted kid” is so funny. You have substantial difficulties with socializing and fine motor skills but we’re going to ignore that because you’re really good at reading chapter books

what people think self diagnosis is: “lol I saw a tiktok of this disorder and it looks super fun so I’m gonna tell people I have it”

what it actually is: “I’ve had all these really bad symptoms for such a long time and i don’t have access to proper healthcare so I’ve been doing a lot of research and cross checking and talking to people who have this condition/disorder and they agree that I seem to have it. I’ve also looked into other disorders and conditions with similar symptoms but this one seems to match up with my experiences perfectly and learning about other people who live and deal with it makes me feel so seen so I’m going to self diagnose with it but I still understand that I may be wrong and if I ever do receive proper medical treatment I will be fully open to accepting it’s something else.”

Dismantle the practice of loving things and acquiring them… it’s a wasteful enterprise.

Step into the fire of self-discovery. This fire will not burn you, it will only burn what you are not.

“I want what she’s on.” The spectrum??

Are you constantly wanting to do A Thing but never know how to do The Thing?

Does figuring out where to start a task and knowing what steps need to be taken to complete the task stress you out?

Lemme introduce you to...

For example, you want to clean your oven.

You simply go to the website and in the "Add new item" box, you type "clean the oven". You can then also use the lil chillies next to the plus to change the level of breaking-down you'd like. Next, hit the magic wand-looking button to break it down!

You can check off items as you go, and further break things down if desired!

It works on large tasks such as planning a cross-country trip, writing a book or going on vacation and smaller tasks such as cleaning an oven.

There's also tools for task time estimation, meal-prep that takes into account dietary constraints, equipment and such, and a braindump compiler.

It's available as an IOS/Android app for less than a dollar, or a free web app. I can't hype this up enough, the developers deserve so much love for this.

No no you don't understand! I want to watch this show/movie, read this book, listen to this podcast, etc.! But I must be in the right mindset and the exact head space to begin, or I just can't!

It's important to me that everyone understands that if you've got an autistic friend who periodically sends you pictures/videos/whatever of your Thing, because they know you're into it... They love you.

Now don't get me wrong, It may not necessarily be romantic love, they might not want to run off to a little farm in Montana where you'll be married forever and raise little sheeps...

But they definitely love you. And they're so happy when they spot a post about X and go "ooh, my friend likes X! I'll send it to them!".

Because they love you and want you to be happy.

Yep! Personal little gifts and sharing memes are my way to show love.

Someone in an autism facebook group I'm in just asked "How am I supposed to earn enough to make a living without burning out?"

Someone replied: "You're not. Even neurotypicals can't right now in the system designed for them. We're the canaries in the coalmine. When we start failing, they know something is wrong."
