Yes, I think many of us agree that our condition is not a disease to be cured, but only a difference. And besides, there is no 'cure'. The only way to stop autists from being born is eugenics, and I hope everyone knows how wrong and undesirable eugenics is...

The fact is that all 'therapies' offered to autists or their guardians are not intended to benefit *us*. They are intended to make us more convenient, and less disturbing, for NTs. 😐

I think that perhaps monotropism is the opposite of 'multitasking'? And we now know that (all) humans are pretty bad at multitasking, so maybe it's a measure of how much more rational #autists are? 😃

@feditips @TammyGentzel That's exactly what I wanted to do. Thanks for sorting it for me! 😍

@feditips @TammyGentzel Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. Sadly that only allows me to add a new column searching a hashtag.

I really wanted to open a new column showing another *user* account. It seems that can't be done.

Is there a way, on #Mastodon, to add new columns to the multi-column display?

Can anyone help with this?

@anarchopunk_girl That's good, right?

Sadly, it isn't a "(mis)interpretation" — #masking is speaking like an NT, which involves dishonesty at all levels. It *is* lying, a lot of the time.

But, but... 😟

**I** know when I'm lying! And I don't like the feeling(s) it gives me! So I won't and don't do it. 👍

Yes, there are ways we can minimise the hurt we feel when we lie. Lying by telling the truth in a way that won't be believed; lying by omission; etc. But lying causes us stress, and this stress is why #masking is so (emotionally) exhausting for us?

#honesty is *really* important to me, and to most of us!
