I can't believe this guy let me get this close.

Oh no, I am so sorry. 😿

I don't watch the show, either, but this is too real.

I don't have much of a dating life, but social outings, almost invariably, have me getting turned into the executive functioning of the whole thing.

The "stay away from people who cause stress" is sending me.

A few years ago I caught a woodcock trying to get into Juilliard.

Thank you!

I feel like I should know what your blog is, but I don't?

So the more I ask around about this, the more it seems like there just isn't much or any...

And I was wondering about why this doesn't seem to be a topic people are writing about, before it hit me that it's possible that younger autistic advocates simply aren't *writing*.

Literally the autism edition of "Here's how I got out of debt, bought a house, and saved a $1 million before I was 30 and you can, too!" and then it's just "my parents gave us the down payment/a place to live rent-free/$25,000 a year/a cushy nepo job."

"Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers," a history of lesbian life in 20th century America!

Asking once again, but where (if anywhere) are we finding really good writing about #autism and queerness or autism and sexuality these days?

Or are we actually not?

(And also, would do well to remember that "neurotypical" was originally coined as a satirical term.)

Until that happens, ABA autism intervention research remains untrustworthy.

This may be one of those incredibly me-specific issues, but...

Did anyone else find themselves reminded very specifically of Oliver Sacks by Dr. Ian Kelson's character in the 28 Years Later movies?

Am I imagining things, or has the paltry percentage of funds going to family services actually *decreased*?

Call your representatives, obviously, but also this is a really good time to remind any military personnel you're in contact with that they have a moral and legal obligation to refuse any order that would amount to war crimes if carried out.

I spent a lot of time growing up in Lawrence--I love it there.

The problem of “productivity” “…Mulan, perceived as inferior through dint of her female body, could be seen to have experienced ableism,” writes Amanda Leduc in her book Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space,…

New blog post!

I've been dissatisfied, for a while now, by the ways in which the disability community often talks about "productivity."

#autism #disability

Game was long as hell for no reason, bullpen imploded, we squandered an 11-run lead, and we won

#HeyHeyHeyHey

That was an amazing game to procrastinate about some other stuff to. #Royals

Do we know whose birthday it is? #Royals

If the #Royals lose this I swear to god.

The whole thing about autistic lack of theory of mind has always seemed to me to miss the key point that if you are constantly aware that others think/feel differently, you are unlikely to assume you know what they are thinking/feeling.

She's not dumb!

Thaaaaaaat.
