At my core, I'm still the little five-year-old who cried herself to sleep thinking of all the injustices and suffering in this world—asking to take it all into her tiny little body if it would bring relief to everyone else.

Relatable. So very relatable. And not just to me. One of my mini mes is this way too.

@menelion @aral That's not a justification for committing genocide and you know it. Two wrongs don't make a right. You should have learned that in kindergarten.

My partner and I agreed not to tell the #ActuallyAutistic children enough about RFK Jr to get them upset, but one of them figured out all the implications anyway and just ranted for two hours about how they wanted to lead the "Searing Rebellion" against RFK Jr and Trump. They're now sketching out plans for how to divide an uninhabited island for autistic refugees to move to.

The Trump regime made a big mistake by mobilizing the nation's strategic reserve of #PDA against them.

Even if Elon Musk does get sidelined, that doesn't mean #TeslaTakedown should stop. He must be made an example.

@m I hope it helps for you to know that I feel concern for you and your kids too.

@goatsarah I hate it when I get so excited to answer a question and then halfway through I realize the question I answered wasn't the one asked. I hate it even more when I don't realize I've answered the wind question until after a couple of confusing, awkward back-and-forths with the original author.

@Lana I'm not looking forward to having to teach my children about CEOs.

@codeofamor @markwyner @KatyElphinstone @GreenRoc @athena_rising It's too bad our system doesn't recognize autodidactic learning as legitimate.

I'm angry that medical researchers don't consider women worth studying.

@samplereality I am very disappointed by reality and want my money back.

@Antiqueight @the5thColumnist @olena @ideogram Meanwhile we handless people are nodding along hoping that understanding this whole thing about handedness isn't going to end up being important.

@Antiqueight @olena @ideogram That's valid. If I understand the theory correctly, then in my explanation that would correspond to identifying which rulebook is yours while disregarding the rules in the book.

@Antiqueight @olena @ideogram But yes, I'm definitely trying to explain things outside my experience to other people with a similar lack of experience.

@olena @ideogram Gender is easy to understand as an #autistic. There are two sets of unwritten rules. One of them you are supposed to VERY MUCH and the other one you are supposed to NEVER. This is supposed to be very important to you for reasons and it's supposed to be obvious to you which set of behaviors you want to do. Violating these unwritten rules is punished even more severely than violating the regular unwritten rules because these are more important.

@freemo @Shamar @scottsantens When multiple people have a hard time understanding my words, I think about how to make them clearer.

@freemo @jkxyz @scottsantens You might be the exception that proves the rule. But I do wonder how representative the samples you've taken are of financial hygiene for people in different income brackets.

@freemo @Shamar @scottsantens How sad it must be to live in a world where the only value of a thing is what you can get someone else to pay for it.

@freemo @jkxyz @scottsantens You can always tell when someone's never been poor because they say things like "most people who are poor have very poor financial hygene."

@futurebird @punishmenthurts @DavidM_yeg @ianhecht Yes, and ignoring social hierarchies, being concerned about true morality and equity, making connections other people didn't, drawing in the dirt instead of interacting with people...
