Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

Typical gardaí who've allowed the far-right bigots block roads, stop traffic, discommode people going about the daily lives. But, pro Palestinian marchers get battered & pepper sprayed with vicious intent.

Where's the 'softly, softly' approach now?!

Got both today and I'm feeling hunky dory.

Whoever set up a basketball ring 5 meters opposite my house for local kids to play with while I'm working is a jerk.

"Ample opportunity" too

Just to add to that, I just saw a post from a relatively famous author that was doing weak zing after zing that said "Hopefully you are finding these posts amusing"....dude, I'm here for your news, thoughts and, ideas and maybe the odd joke, not for your 'stand-up'.

I see that unfortunately Bluesky is following the early twitter trend of people who are perpetually online using it as a punchline circle-jerk.....

"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"

"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

Autistic people have more chronic pain from hypermobility, EDS, migraines, and sensory overwhelm etc. and so take more Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol than non-autistic people do.

And autistic people also have more autistic kids than non-autistic people do.

This is not rocket science.

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this.
Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

as a child some of you were never rescued and breastfed by an obliging she-wolf and it shows

I'm starting to change my mind on this..could you do a trial Spotify-friendly one and see how it goes?

AuDHD: The Hidden Dynamics of a Dual Diagnosis The term AuDHD – used within the neurodivergent community to describe individuals diagnosed with both autism and ADHD – highlights a significant yet often overlooked intersection. Autism and ADHD are ...

"When we only look at the contradictions in a dual [Autism and ADHD) diagnosis, society risks seeing the individual as fragmented when, in reality, they are more dynamic and have traits that balance and create unique strengths."

One of the less known aspects about the Easter Rising is that Indian students at UCD also took part & were then deported by the British authorities for it. Among those students was V.V. Giri who became president of India and said “when I am not an Indian, I am an Irishman”

This is why learning from autistics who can describe their experiences is so important on issues that affect ALL autistics—in this case audio processing and how overwhelming it can be. "Why does my non-speaking autistic child melt down when more than one person is talking around them?" Now you know.

Thanks for sharing that.
