@eob @heatwave Mnemonic for my fellow Americans on Celsius temps: Zero is freezing, ten is not, twenty is nice, and thirty is hot.

@GreenSkyOverMe Have you read the autie-biography Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet? Tammet is an autistic author and low support needs savant. I empathize a lot with what he writes in that book about comparing himself to his younger NT siblings growing up and feeling bad that he couldn't befriend other kids like they could. Tammet was diagnosed autistic in adulthood. This was his first book, written in 2006. I was also gifted in math growing up, but wasn't interested in it.

@GreenSkyOverMe @AlexPed Savantism is a special interest of mine, and I didn't know that. My partner is a blind Autistic woman who is musically gifted. My late undiagnosed neurodivergent uncle was a very gifted folk musician, and I have taught myself simple piano songs by ear.

@ryanhoulihan Nobody needs to know what genitals a trans person has until the other (cis) person and the trans person have agreed to have sex with each other. If someone tells me they're trans, I usually assume they're pre-op, and it's not trans people's job to answer cis people's invasive questions.
