@yourautisticlife @actuallyautistic I tend to agree with all of your points. Plus, an additional point: The sale prices are often not really reduced prices at all. They usually jack up the prices the week before so they can pretend they're offering you a great discount when they lower it to the original price.

Also, I try to resist buying items I wouldn't have otherwise bought in the first place. If I didn't need widget X before, I don't need it just because it's on sale.

Scientists: “Human activities are adding a tremendous amount of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, trapping heat & leading to #ClimateChange. That will lead to more extreme storms, flooding, drought, higher than average temperatures, the loss of biodiversity, wildfires and more.” 📣

Why do I sometimes see the "Translate" link on posts that are entirely in English?

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I use them as a last resort, but I find them to be physically uncomfortable. They make my ears hot and sweaty.

I saw a post picturing a "fiction writing journal" and immediately thought "Cool! A journal that writes itself!" 🤪

And now my brain is coming up with entire stories to incorporate that.

I know there has been much discussion in many different forums about referring to us as Autistics versus Autists. Fair warning—i use both.

More often than not I try to use the same terms the majority uses though. Is that also masking?

I'm overwhelmed. Are you?

@matty @actuallyautistic @theautisticcoach I think it was when I first started coming out as autistic to fellow Autistics.

I wonder why I don't typically encounter many accounts from Africa, South America, and Asia. Is that just the nature of social media and language barriers?

I'm really curious about how autism presents elsewhere around the world. I imagine there a cultural influences.

Maybe I need to search the Fediverse more if I want to see people outside North America and Europe?

I am just so shocked at the number of smart people, who are also marginalized people, who are flocking to BlueSky. I really don't get it. Some even have accounts here, but aren't using.

@JoBlakely Yeah. It really feels like a "Fool me once…" kind of situation.

I'm noticing that different Mastodon instances seem to have their own unique, dedicated, additional emoji. I like that.

@ashleyspencer I checked out your store from the link in your profile. I really like your designs, especially the jewelry. Nice work! (I design jewelry too.)👍

Please be patient with me. My grade 3 preadolescent brain wants to giggle a little bit every time someone calls these "toots". 🤪

I'll eventually grow out of it. 😉

@MimzyDub @Sci_Fi_FanGirl @actuallyautistic As I've been led to understand, self doubt is one of the sure signs that you actually are.

That said, there are a number of self-assessment questionnaires you can find online if you haven't already. RAADS-R is probably the most common one.

@actuallyautistic

Have any of you ever had an MRI? I hadn't, until last night, and I was in it about 20 seconds before I squeezed the panic button and told them this had to stop. I've never been that close to a complete panic breakdown before.
The restraint for my head also restrained my chest, making me feel like I couldn't breathe. The tube is small - inches away from my eyes. And it's LOUD, even with the earplugs.
I have a new definition of hell.

JeremyMallin,

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic I have had them before, but only head and neck. Plus, it was the "open MRI" type. I didn't have any panic from it.

I seems like a lot of us Autistics are artists, designers, and makers. I read someone hypothesizing that it's because we learn seek out alternate forms of communication. Do you think that's it or do you think there's some other reason? #AskingAutistics #AutisticArtist

Why does anyone still use "bigger than a bread box" as a measurement comparison? When is the last time anyone has seen a bread box? Aren't there multiple entire generations of people who have never seen one?

@marytzu @failure2lunch @actuallyautistic I feel like so many accommodations for Autistics would benefit neurotypical people too—less background noise, safer/more moderate volume for all sounds, more comfortable natural lighting

mastodon would do so much better if they'd just call instances "neighborhoods" and said that you should pick your neighborhood based on your interests, so that if you look out your window you'll see your neighbors doing things you find interesting. and that it's okay if you find out you don't like your neighborhood, because you can just move to another one! and all your followers will move with you

and then, yanno, make it easier to search for people you wanna follow cause that shit just sucks

@eniko just so long as there is no red lining and there are no HOAs.
