@autistics #ActuallyAutistic a nervous pee-er’s Kryptonite is people talking in the bathroom…
…doubly so in a gender neutral bathroom since the chatter possibilities are off the charts
@autistics #ActuallyAutistic if i knew when i was watching this the first time around, i doubt i’d be here today

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic a new comment came at me claiming “it’s the medical definition” as a defense…
…so my snarky ass said “homosexuality was considered a disorder too. wasn’t right then either.”
some normal person is giving me trouble for my black and white thinking and such when I say, "normal people."
.
It's like if I were black and I wasn't allowed to say "white people," isn't it

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 926 , Monday 11/05/2026
Up at crack of sparrows fart to go to the gym.
I discovered a key safety tip today, using one of the weight machines, that has different handles that attach via a carabiner clip, one of the ones that is just spring loaded not the ones that you have to unscrew.
I wear a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms- which fasten with a string - to the gym & normally have the t-shirt hanging over the tracksuit bottoms but today I tucked them in.
Style gurus will be frowning at this point but worse, I caught the carabiner clip in the loop of the bow knot on my trousers & it was a very tricky exercise to free myself without losing my pants or more to the point getting a ‘wedgie’!
Tip for the top, always wear ones t-shirt over ones trousers in the gym!
Thankfully the rest of my day was much less eventful, breakfast then chores followed by a romp around the Milky Way … I may get the Krait Phantom before I continue my journey into the ‘Black’.
Final Thoughts.
Watching ‘Have I got News for You’ & them showing the footage of fartage talking about detention centres & no-one batted an eye-lid. This country is slipping down the same slope that the US did.
Although the UK H&S elves are a force to be reckoned with so these centres will have to be up to ‘code’ as the Americans say!
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! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Well today has sped by, I’m not entirely sure where!
Finally got around to watching the celebration of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday … I feel that he is one of defining people in my life (as he is in so many others!). The world is, as others have said, a far better place with him in it!
Final Thoughts.
The week is getting away from me, for some reason I thought it was Monday today!

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic my first screening was a lot…
…over the past few years i’ve kind of become an emotional sponge for my surroundings and the trauma eminating from the first 30 seconds never let up for the entire 93 minutes…
…sensory overload does not even begin to describe the flight instinct that took over after i left the auditorium…
…and fun bonus, still doing and will be doing fuckin’ board once i get home after 11pm tonight
my idea is that they say they don’t like evolution because of the past, they don’t want to think of themselves as the offspring of apes - but of course it’s really about the present and the future, they don’t want to know that it’s them making the broken, futureless human nature, they don’t want to break cycles and have to absorb the abuse of their childhood and never “get their power back” (Alice Miller’s language) from their children.
.
My . . . thorough acceptance of evolution tells me that’s exacty what they have to do, but I haven’t been able to convince one of them, let alone all of them. They seem to think they have the freedom to believe whatever they want.

Riddle me this.
I can watch a movie or see someone in real life overcome adversity, and I can feel happy for them. I can feel thrilled that they ovecame a difficult problem or situation.
But why am I unable to show myself the same courtesy? Sure, I have a lot of privilege...far more than I should feel entitled to, really, but that doesn't mean I haven't struggled. That doesn't mean I haven't persevered. And I am capable of objectively observing it.
But it is internally meaningless. And I do not understand why. I expect others to accept the praise. I expect others to take the external observations as fact. But myself? No. For me it's mostly just luck how things turned out or thanking my stars that my problems didn't get worse. I'm never able to accept any amount of credit for my own good fortune.
I don't get it.
@autistics #ActuallyAutistic and here i thought i was just dead inside and becoming an emotional sponge…

#Neurodiversity and the two layers of cognition
What if the way you think and the output you produce are two completely separate things — and the gap between them has a cost? A post about internal process, expected output, and what autism adds to the picture.

Blowing hard again, sorry 🫣
.
got Antiques Roadshow on and they’re talking about To Kill a Mockingbird and it’s one of the “most important books in American history,” and my divergence/contrarianism is grumbling, You mean it SHOULD have been, it WOULD have been if anything had changed.
.
I mean, I know about the civil rights movement and it’s successes, but the pendulum is swinging back again, and sure all that literature is brilliant and, honestly, “should have been important,” is about as good as it gets with a creature that collectively cannot learn.
.
It’s my same old story, same old song and dance, I find the whole
world of NT culture and speech to be devoid of causality, there is a blanket built in (and selected for) attitude that the default state of life and of people’s morals is shit, and so they aren’t even trying to understand WHY people do bad things. Racism is bad, that seems to be the message forever and the good non-racists seem happy to keep saying it and hoping, no-one thinks there needs to be a real world cause for hate, or that there could therefore be a real world solution.
.
So again, both “sides,” of the majority neurotype simply accepting that this evil is simply a forever and “natural,” part of life, the opposite “sides,” of this argument share the same core belief in a causeless, changeless, mythological sort of a “nature.”
.
Right? I mean, that’s how things look to me, but grain of salt, I’m pretty depressed. 💜

Thursday started at around 7am.
Breakfast was had & chores done then we had to go to the funeral of Mrs S’s uncle who sadly died around the same time as her mum, but we only found out about this last month!
It was a lovely service, the sun making an appearance to see him off in style.
This afternoon has been a quiet one, I spent it trundling around the Milky Way.
We had a naughty Chinese takeaway for tea & very nice it was too!
Final Thoughts.
Not a bad day all told, but not much energy. I will have to see if I can find some spoons to go shopping tomorrow.

No matter how well you explain something, it won't be understood, if the other person doesn't even listen, doesn't try to understand, doesn't think about it beyond how to justify not having to expend energy and not having to endure any discomfort.
There are preconditions that make it possible or impossible to be understood and right now, for most of us, if we are part of a marginalised group, with most people, the preconditions are very unfavorable.
