Hi, I'm autistic, I still have to work, and my life...is kinda crazy.

Alright wish me luck 😭😭😭😭 (autistic and high as fuck and about to have a group meeting)

There is a strange assumption buried inside almost every conversation about death:

That we all understand what “gone” means in roughly the same way.

But permanence is a concept.

So is time.

So is absence.

So is continuing connection.

And if different brains construct those concepts differently, then perhaps death itself is not psychologically identical from one mind to another.

“” is published by J.K. Hamilton in Unheard Voices.

“It was only a small change.”

That sentence sounds reasonable if you’re measuring what changed outside the person.

But what if the important part happened inside?

What if one tiny disruption forced the brain to recalculate far more than anyone watching could see?

Then “small” starts becoming a very misleading word.

What neuroscience and predictive processing reveal about why a minor disruption can require a major internal recalibration

There is a particular kind of frustration that comes from watching people repeatedly repair the same problem.

Because after a while, the obvious question isn’t:

How do we fix it again?

It’s:

Why does the system keep producing it?

Some minds seem drawn toward that question almost automatically.

And that may tell us something important about how they perceive the world.

What neuroscience, complexity science, and predictive processing reveal about why some autistic minds naturally see relationships instead…

At some point, some children discover something they’re probably not supposed to discover quite so early:

Adults can be wrong.

Teachers can be wrong.

Experts can be wrong.

Authority can speak with absolute confidence and still be wrong.

Once your brain learns that lesson, “because I said so” never quite works the same way again.

So what replaces it?…

How repeated misunderstandings can teach the brain to verify the world for itself

People be like: “hello”

And i be like: “heyyy” actually
