"In the world of #Palestinian activism, the plight of autistic people is often overlooked...Speaking about the plight of our #autistic friends and family members can loosen the clutches ever so slightly. In a world where Palestinians are constantly and aggressively silenced, these #voices [also] need to be heard."

The face of someone who has been through a seemingly neverending war of emotional and mental adversity, both within myself and from other people and yet has still managed to keep himself alive through sheer determination and survival instinct. It is only in these recent years that I have truly started to push back and stand up for myself properly, and developed proper boundaries and red lines…

Next Gen Neurotypes is the idea that there are "mini spectrums".

So in neurotypes "autism" is a neurotype. Borrowed/copied from medicine.

"Next Gen Neurotypes" / "Mini Spectrums" is the next generation, medicine is not even related. You don't need that.

When I say I love learning, I mean it. From neuroscience to cuneiform, my autistic brain thrives on deep dives into complex subjects. That's why I’m currently taking "Rocket Science for Everyone" at Yale University via Coursera.

Here are six fascinating facts I learned about orbital mechanics—yes, the physics that keeps satellites in space!

Sudden vision, somebody make me a cartoon, poor kid - us - with several missing puzzle-cut pieces. Some "helpful." people come along, having found a piece and putting it in our person, one at a time, and we get sadder each time, and after the last one, people all patting each other's backs over a job well done - we're an angry cop

AI reveals we're looking at autism diagnosis all wrong—it's not social skills, but repetitive behaviors that matter most. #AutismResearch #AIinMedicine #Neurodiversity

This is why littering your post with emojis is stupid.

Does anyone have good alternatives to happy hour gatherings after work? We have vendors who visit and offer appetizers and drinks in a bar where people can come and go as they like.

For me, I don't drink and the noise in a bar is distracting for conversations. But I'm struggling to come up with a good alternative based on price and convenience.

NT: The rich have a right to the wealth they earned!
ND: The self-made man is a myth, this is backed by mountains of research. Rich parasites are hoarding wealth they'll never use. For every homeless person there's 3 empty houses.
NT: Uh... Um... La la la! Not listening! Meritocracy is REAL! The rich have a RIGHT to the wealth they EARNED! And me too when I get wealthy!
ND: Sure, meritocracy is totally real... Yeah, good luck with that.

NT hiverarchy cares nothing for children, they have them to meet societal norms in hiverarchy with no long-term plans for supporting them. These kids are going to suffer, because parasitic NT hiverarchy values the luxuries and conveniences of the now, and the worship of the most parasitic wealth barons, over the sustainability required to give these kids a tomorrow.

Only ND people really give a shit.
