I suspect the grey Tuxedo cat here has Level 2 Autism. Has great difficulty with socializing with anyone except its owner. #actuallyautistic @cat @autistics

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic it's that time of the month again where i do the board newsletter, and after the attack this week on autistic content from December 2025, i'm struggling...

…i was going to add a follow-up to the December 2025 content, but i don't feel i can put the board at risk…

…and yet there is a flood of content that covers other communities that is considered socially acceptable…

…so i'm struggling to balance my competing ethical priorities this month...

...and it sucks

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 841 , Sunday 15/02/2026

Sunday started fairly early at around 07:30 in the very AM!

Had to get my chores done before we set off for a visit to my brother, his partner & my niece. Which was followed by a family meal to celebrate 4 family birthdays that happened in the last couple of weeks.

The weather was a mixture of dreary to awful. Yje high point being going across the moors this morning which were covered in a blanket of snow - very scenic it was too!

Had a great time chewing the fat at my brothers & then had a nice plate of gammon, eggs & chips (fries to our American contingent).

Went back to my sisters for coffee & birthday cake before heading home.

Got back fairly early as Mrs S was tried having sat in the car then sat in the restaurant then sat in relatives houses.

Final Thoughts.

I enjoyed the day although I know Mrs S would have preferred to stay at home reading / catching up on her TV shows. Hey ho.

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 840 , Saturday 14/02/2026

Saturday started initially around 6am with one of the kids next door sobbing his heart out for the longest time, but I managed to roll over & drop off again for another hour.

Had a fairly active morning (for me) driven by the bright sunlight that we were gifted with today.

I dismantled my old chair - it is still a decent one & so I’m gifting it to my niece who has just turned 15.
We are off to see them tomorrow so I thought I better get a head start on preparing it for transportation.

Also ran the vacuum cleaner over the upstairs carpets & the lounge!

Managed to squeeze in an hour of KCD2 into the bargain!

Had what was left of last night’s calzone for lunch - very nice!

We caught up on a couple of Mrs S’s shows this afternoon & then binged 3 eps of ‘The Final Frontier’ which is a really good show!

Final Thoughts.

Off to our fave eatery for a Valentine’s meal soo posting this with a timer so I wrote this around 18:30!

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Dear #bookstodon, I'm looking for #recommendations - what's a book of short stories or a short(ish) novel you've enjoyed recently, in the genres of sci-fi / speculative or literary fiction? No big names please. Women / queer / neurodiverse writers interest me especially.

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic i’ll just point out educating people is fine, but if there are no practical consequences for bad behavior, it is just performative

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic that takes way too long for my taste…

https://mas.to/@skeletor/116071997877680037

A meme-style image featuring Skeletor, the blue-skinned, muscular cartoon villain from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. He is seated sideways on a throne constructed entirely of large, pale bones lashed together, including curved rib bones and long femurs that form the backrest in a spiky, skeletal fan shape behind him.

Skeletor's body is bright blue and heavily muscular, and he wears a deep purple hood and matching boots and gloves. His face is a yellow skull with hollow black eye sockets and a wide, toothy grin, partially shadowed beneath the hood.

He rests one elbow on his knee and props his chin against his fist in a contemplative pose, as if delivering a smug or philosophical statement. A large, bone-handled sword with a silver blade lies angled across his lap, its point extending toward the lower left corner of the image.

The background appears to be a dim, stone-walled interior, suggesting a dungeon or fortress setting. Bold, all-caps white text with a thick black outline appears at the top and bottom of the image in classic meme font.

The top text reads, "NO REVENGE." The bottom text reads, "ROTTEN FRUIT FALLS ON ITS OWN."

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic

A dark blue digital card featuring a quote from the TV show Marvel’s Jessica Jones, shared via the Iconfactory Tapestry app.

The image is a rectangular graphic with a gradient blue background.

The top left has a circular icon of a movie film reel with the number "3" inside it. Next to it is the hashtag #RANDOMMOVIETVQUOTES in green.

The top right shows the date 11/Mar/26 in white.

The center left shows the word Mastodon written in a large green font. Below the title, the text "Sean C. @filmfreak75" identifies the poster.

The central text of the card reads:

You don’t decide to trust someone. It happens or it doesn’t. No matter how much you want it to. — Jessica Jones, Marvel’s Jessica Jones

At the bottom is a repeat of the hashtag #RandomMovieTVQuotes in light blue at the bottom of the card.

Small grey text outside the card border at the bottom left says "Shared via Iconfactory Tapestry" and the URL "tapestry.iconfactory.com" at the bottom right.

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic so the next newsletter draft is pending final production…

…and in silent protest i added a blank post for what would have been the follow-up to the December 2025 item…

…as a result, tomorrow i need to cut off all professional ties, in my personal capacity, with the group that caused this issue in the first place…

…the employee disability affinity group…

…let that sink in

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic

https://mas.to/@skeletor/116081144335285101

A meme-style image using a still from the 1980s animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

In the scene, two muscular cartoon characters stand close together against a dark, cave-like background with deep green and blue tones.

On the left is He-Man, depicted with light blue skin (as stylized in the cartoon's lighting), a square jaw, and straight, chin-length orange hair with bangs. His eyes glow solid white, giving him an intense, almost mystical expression.

He wears a pink chest harness with a heart-shaped emblem at the center and rests one hand forward, palm slightly upturned, as if gesturing mid-conversation.

Leaning in from the right is Skeletor, shown with a bright yellow skull face, hollow black eye sockets, and a wide, toothy skeletal grin.

He wears a deep purple hood and matching armor that frames his skull, his posture angled toward He-Man in a conspiratorial or persuasive pose. One of Skeletor's arms stretches across in front of He-Man, palm open, as if emphasizing a point.

Bold, all-caps white text with a thick black outline appears at the top and bottom in classic meme font.

The top text reads: "IT IS BETTER TO APPEAR STRANGE TO OTHERS."

The bottom text continues: "THAN TO BE A STRANGER TO YOURSELF."

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic working on my annual review and i have to:

"include at least one goal focused on [my] personal professional development and [let my manager know] how can [they] help support [me] in in these goals (or in general) for the upcoming year”

as an admin, no one gives a shit about my professional development so this seems like a trap

plus, this is a manager who was instrumental in making my accommodation process extraordinarily difficult
