The autism spectrum is complicated, per a new graphic of 39 traits: “There is no single trait that defines autism: it encompasses differences in social communication skills, interests, sensory sensitivities, and more. Every person’s profile is unique.”

A person with a disgusted face and the negative interaction icon from The Sims in the top, which consists of two persons and two minus “substracting”. In the Sims this icon appears when Sims perform or experience a mean, mischievous, or other negative social action, which causes a drop in their relationship bar.

Your neurodivergent staff works more efficiently if you allow them to do their job from home or at least make them go hybrid and don’t force them to come to the office when you need them to. Especially if you don’t offer accommodations (ie privatized commute, quiet rooms) to work in.
Al final me he enredado mucho para decir algo muy sencillo: si un año después de la dana tuviéramos que seguir mandando a Valencia contenedores con comida la gente se preguntaría por qué no se está solucionando el problema, pero por algún motivo cuando se hace con los pobres nos parece normal.
Me lo creo, por eso reducir la semana laboral a 4 días aumentaría la eficiencia. La gente estaría más descansada y los días de trabajo cundirían más. Pensaba que eso era de cajón.
Pero cuente el chisme…👀
Genial gracias! También lo he echado para “application specialist”.
Presencial? Para technical writer? lol bueno primero que me llamen luego ya veremos 😂
Hablando de tu empresa malvada… He visto que hay un pato de Technical writer que me interesa… recomiendas la empresa? Como de posible es que me recomiendes para el puesto? Aka networking enchufismo de ese 😂
Yo estoy justo al revés
I’d like a ticket!
Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿
I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮
The dissonance of living a relatively charmed existence while two million people die thanks to bombs my country made and the cruelty of a country my country loves more than anyone else has become untenable
I can’t do this shit anymore dude. I have inured myself to a lot of cruelty over the years but this is the worst fucking thing I’ve ever witnessed. And it feels like so many people are cool with it to the point that they get irritated when folks post updates or fundraisers.
I'm gonna just go ahead and say that witnessing a livestreamed genocide that now involves people from various mediterranean and middle-eastern countries throwing rice & flour into the sea in plastic bottles at strategic times just so Gazans can get *something* to eat has genuinely destroyed my mind
Sinceramente no sé entiende que no estemos quemando todo.
The EPA has eliminated its research division, which for decades has provided the science behind regulations on clean air, clean water, and toxic chemicals.
The US can afford to monitor, research, and regulate the impacts of industries on human and environmental health. We are just choosing not to.
Ten years after the Paris Agreement, nations are still falling short of their commitments to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change.
More than that, they haven’t shown enough follow-through on the goals they set. Instead, it’s been cities and local governments that have taken the lead.

Yet we're forced back into noisy environments at work despite it being possible to do things remotely. So glad this paper is out though - something to cite when people arrange in-person meetings
Categorizing individuals based on perceived severity may influence the allocation of resources and support services.
We need research that helps build understanding, not reinforce hierarchies of functioning that often do more harm than good.
If someone with anxiety is calm in public but suffering internally, would we call it “mild”? If someone panics when overwhelmed, is that a “behavioral problem” or a valid reaction? This framing ignores the person and centers outside discomfort. Autism deserves better.
The term “behavioral problems” pathologizes what may be a valid response to inaccessible/hostile environments. “Severity” flattens autistic experience into “how bad is it” (how noticeable/inconvenient someone's behavior is to others) rather than acknowledging complexity or individual context.
While I agree the DSM-V doesn't fully capture autism, we don't need this framing of subgroups based on “symptom severity” & “behavioral problems.” Subgrouping this way might help researchers categorize data, but it doesn’t help autistic people get support that respects our needs or agency. 🧵
How long will this last? You cannot even rent a room now with the average salary in Spain
This is a beautifully coded analogy for the issue with “person with Autism” vs “Autistic person”
An Autistic person isn’t a person with a discreet chunk of “Autism” that can be amputated from us … leaving an intact non-Autistic person.
We are fundamentally *Autistic* through and through
Receta? 👀
