For those of you who may not know. It would appear as if the Guppe groups are down for good. Apparently the bloke who ran it got knifed in the back by the domain being sold to another ahead of schedule and before he could renew it. Whether he will be able to get it back up and running in another way, I don't know.
Fedigroups run a similar service, for those interested. I tagged the autistic one above. https://about.fedigroups.social/home
I'm not sure how widespread this information about the Guppe groups is yet. But, for those of you who us it a lot, whether for autism, or anything else, it may not be the worst idea to post something similar to this to your followers and help spread the word.
neurodivergent
A thought has occurred to me.
In the rush to try and recreate the effect of the sadly departed Guppe groups many us may be attempting to open new groups using the fedigroup route, or any other way that they may have found. It may not be the world's worst idea to let as many people know that this is what you are trying to do, as soon as possible, probably by using the appropriate hashtags. Otherwise, it's entirely possible that multiple groups will end up being formed, for essentially the same purpose, and end up being highly confusing.
Boost please, fair folk of the Fedi.
Whilst probably not an original thought, it still strikes me as one that won't hurt in the coming days of people scrambling to try and reconnect.
Today marks two years since my coming out day. If I had a magic wand, I would move it ahead some decades but realistically it took how long it took.
And yes, I very methodically chose 9/9 because it would be a day I could easily remember. That's also how my brain works. LOL

Now that I'm spending more time on Mastodon, I'm realizing I don't follow enough people. Many of them are inactive accounts.
My feed is running dry rather quickly.
Who are some good people in the autistic and neurodivergent spaces to follow?
The Reason why we don’t use the puzzle piece a the official logo for Autism Acceptance it’s because The Puzzle Piece makes us feel like Something is missing or something is wrong with us. Now The reason why we use the rainbow or gold infinity symbol instead for autism acceptance its because we are embracing who we are as people as well as expanding with other neurodivergent people. So Reject the Puzzle Piece and Embrace the Infinity symbol! #actuallyautistic #autismacceptance #neurodivergent
Hallo alle!
Ich bin nicht #neuhier aber möchte ein bisschen meine Bubble auffrischen.
Gerade bin ich eher leise, meistens gibt's von mir Geschichten aus dem Alltag oder Gedanken zum aktuellen Zeitgeschehen und zur Gesellschaft. Mein Problem ist, ich will alles wissen. 😂
Sagt gerne hallo. Ich bin auch interessiert an Lebensrealitäten, die anders sind als meine.
Themen die mich interessieren:

The fediverse didn't turn me trans, but it has helped me to realize my neurodivergence.

"While I understand and agree with those who say that no child should be mocked for being proud of their dad, I also think that Gus Walz’s neurodivergence does matter here. Republican partisanship, hate, and misogyny in this instance were also linked to, and I think triggered by, ableism."

I've spent a lifetime making myself smaller for everyone.
Making myself the version of me that was most useful and comfortable for everyone around me.
And I *HAVE* to stop before I disappear.
I wrote about learning to TAKE UP SPACE: https://fromemily.com/space-taking-defiance/
Maybe you've made yourself smaller too? Let's TAKE UP SPACE together.

Kim Dami's character—Yun Ina—seems to be Autistic-coded. It's hard to be sure since Kim Dami explained in an interview that her character was scarred by what she witnessed when she was 19, so she's acting like a 19-year old with an intellect of a 29-year old.#Autism #Neurodivergent #Autistic

My brain's been serving up some real darkness lately.
(And when an #ActuallyAutistic brain latches onto something, it COMMITS 🙃)
So I'm reminding myself that in this world (especially at this time) ✨#Autistic Joy✨ is an act of defiant resistance.
And I'll be damned if I don't remember to stand in awe of all I've weathered, and of our #neurodivergent culture as a whole.

I've been getting a lot of questions lately about whether symptom X or behavior Y is a sign of ADHD. I don't like answering this question, everyone is different.
However, I would like to link to this comprehensive self-test, which I think is very successful

(Thanks @Jay16K for the hint)
Note: You'll need an account on the website to access the test.
