Happy Pi Day 😊

Nej. Så optimistisk är jag inte.

Typiskt!

How Telling Your Autistic Kid Santa Isn’t Real May Not Go As Planned — THINKING PERSON'S GUIDE TO AUTISM I recommend having a Santa talk with any autistic kid over ten who hasn’t figured it out yet. It’s better to get the whole thing over with.

"I do recommend, highly, having a Santa Claus talk with any autistic kid over ten who hasn’t figured it out yet. Autistics, as a whole, can be very naïve, and I was very shocked that my mother had lied to me when I never lied myself." Kate, at TPGA:

*jag gjorde quizet tidigare idag när notisen kom, men skrev inte om det förrän nu.

En bild som visar en tecknad figur i form av en huvudfoting med hjärna som kropp som lyfter på en hjärn-hattt. Den säger ”Fenomenalt! Du fick 20 av 20 rätt” samt texten ”Du är bäst, å andra sidan är du den enda son gjort detta quiz än så länge”.

Jag var tydligen snabb att göra det nya quizet med orden från dagens högskoleprov.

True. It’s a very offensive question.

Ohhh 😮 That’s a really good point.

The first question I pondered was #1, ”I am a sympathetic person”. According to myself or others? What if others don’t notice me being sympathetic because they misinterpret my way of communication? Or is being sympathetic all about the recipients interpretation?

My system involves deconstructing the meal. I separate the foods to distinct spaces on my plate. I then eat them separately but mixed, that is I don’t need to eat all the potatoes first and then move to carrots. I eat a piece of potato then some carrots and back to the potatoes.

I sometimes doubt myself being autistic, just like many other autists. This test was what I needed today, so thank you! The test took some time to answer because I kept thinking about what the questions were about, there are so many interpretations. But the test somehow gave a clear indication.

I just made a post about a study that disproves a link between paracetamol and autism.

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

However when they compared mothers who had several children during that period and where the mother only used paracetamol during one pregnancy the correlation disappeared. So they concluded there’s no link between paracetamol and autism.

Link to study: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In 2024 a study on 2.5 million children born 1995-2019 was published. The conclusions were that 7,5 % of the children was exposed to paracetamol during pregnancy. They also, at first, found a small correlation between the use of paracetamol during pregnancy and an autism diagnosis.

It is hard to study the correlation between a non-prescription drugs and autism since there is often no paper trail. In Sweden there is a database called ”the birth registry”, among the things registered is the answer to the question of what pharmaceuticals Swedish mothers took during pregnancy.

Dagens känsla!

Jag lider med dig. Jag minns en gång för över 20 år sedan då en granne skaffade hund. Sedan tyckte hen att det var en bra idé att lämna hunden ensam medan hen gick ut och roade sig. Stackaren kände sig ensam och ylade ledset tills hen kom hem vid 04-tiden. Jag skulle gå upp 06. Detta upprepades.

Geordi Meme Top: Puzzle Piece Bottom: Gold Infinity and Rainbow Infinity Puzzle pieces represent the belief that Autistic people are puzzles & lack a fundamental "piece" of humanity. Many in the Autistic Community consider it a hate symbol. The symbol for Autism is a Golden Infinity. The symbol for the Neurodiversity movement is a Rainbow infinity.

#AutismAcceptance
#AutismAwareness

We want to share that the chosen non problematic symbol for Autism is the golden infinity.

Puzzle pieces in relation to Autism orgs are problematic.

Any org using it is ignoring the concerns of the Autistic Community & is broadcasting that fact.

Do you mean Matha Wells the author of The Murderbot Diaries (one of my favourite book-series) or Margaret Weis the author of the Dragonlace-series? I don’t get the connection between Margaret Weis and Murderbot.

They have identified a Neurotype that causes you to think you might be Autistic but also constantly question that you might not be Autistic.

It’s called Autism.
