"With greater awareness & much-reduced stigma, older ppl with subtler traits are now diagnosed. […] It’s amazing how many ppl will consider the possibility of having autism when the label no longer implies a lack of humanity." @mosaicofminds.bsky.social: mosaicofmindss.substack.com/p/autism-its...
Autism Itself Has Changed Since 2009, Not Just the Way we View It

cool. folks are going to have a new business model where they can sell age-verified accounts to kids.
Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.
Autistic Lexicon Babyface Autistic babyface appears to be a combination of multiple factors including: - less frequent emoting over an entire lifetime - environmental factors - psychological - Autism co-occurring with EDS (which can cause people’s skin to look younger *or* older)
For many autistic people, “picky eating” is a legitimate hard-wired sensory aversion. This means that forcing autistic people to eat aversive foods is… the wrong approach, and can make food issues even more traumatic. www.rdsforneurodiversity.com/blog/arfid-c...

Euphemisms are not necessary when talking about Disabled people. We can't do some things and generally that's not as bad to deal with as abled people's discomfort with the fact that we can't do some things.
We've all heard "If you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person." However, the more autistic people you meet, the more you learn about autism. Not only how autistic people are different, but how often autistic experiences are shared—even by autistic people who SEEM very unalike.
“We ran a series of tests involving touching foods, eye contact and trains. We even put a big disco light on and started blaring music to see if he’d have a meltdown, but he just started dancing.”

Hell the reason less than 3% of the Oregon population is Black is because it was literally founded to be a white-only state.

Especially when you start gaslighting yourself. Shame grows in the silence - when you don’t “look” dysregulated enough to be believed. When you collapse alone, and no one sees the crash. We don’t owe anyone proof. We don’t need to scream for it to "count". Internalized doesn’t mean imaginary.
When a meltdown is internal - quiet, hidden, invisible - people don’t see distress. So they deny it ever happened. They say you’re overreacting. Too sensitive. Too much. But internalized meltdowns are real. And the gaslighting that follows is its own trauma.
I am Disabled and rely on $847.40 income from SSI and SSDI—plus help from social safety net programs—to survive. I'm going to transfer a thread about these programs, but: If you can help, please: 1. Go to ugiftable.com. 2. Enter the Ugift code: B1M-J0R 3. Send money from your US bank account.
If you're unfamiliar with how the programs work, I put together some threads explaining the basics and differences of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income.
A lot of people don't know about US SSI and SSDI, the difference between the two, how people qualify for them, how much help they provide or what limitations they come with. This thread will give a helpful overview on these things. I won't cover all topics because it's a huge mess.
18. Disabled is not a slur. Feel free to use it (depending on the disabled person you are talking to and their preferences).

Japanese tea cups or “yunomi” are designed with no handles with the intent that people won’t burn themselves by drinking tea that’s too hot. The idea is that when it’s safe to pick up it’s good to drink.
Tell me a fun fact.
I don't know how many people know this: If you ever see a story coming out of the USA, about people getting in trouble with the law for feeding the homeless, many of those laws were in direct retaliation to the Black Panthers setting up food banks and community centers for children and the poor.
Japan is in no way perfect, it has many flaws, but this sort of thing is fucking phenomenal and I so desperately wish we had an approximate of it becuase fuck man it sucks that so much of our lives get dictated by corporate morality
