This caught my attention. I don't know how accurate these figures are. Not without access to the original research to assess it. But if these are in any way close, then bloody hell. I've always been of the opinion that the majority of adults weren't diagnosed in one way or another. But these sorts of figures were surprising. In any case, it is good to see something like this in mainstream media and the consequences of it, being discussed.

@hellomiakoda
Well, give it time. Like a day or two, max a week and they will realise differently.

@hellomiakoda
Do they actually know what a shit storm it is?

@hellomiakoda
I'll go with, probably and probably not.

@hellomiakoda @GreenRoc
Exactly. That's what hurts.

@hellomiakoda @GreenRoc
Typical misreading of our autistic body language. When engaged we can look blank, in other words, bored, or even come across as something else, like angry, or frustrated, never as we are actually feeling. Annoys the blood hell out of me when they don't just simply ask and take our word for how we are actually feeling.

@melindrea @hellomiakoda
This is so true. This way, on top of autism is caused, they also get a double whammy. Blame the woman, because who else in their minds, and I use that word incredibly generously, and control how they can be pregnant.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and bang my head repeatedly against a wall. Because, I could have sworn this sort of sexist shit was behind us, well mostly anyway. So I obviously need a reset. 😀

@hellomiakoda
I'd be interested if anyone is watching the market price and whether anyone is betting large on it falling. Because this smacks of this to me. Because otherwise they could have picked on basically anything to further the autism is caused, autism must be cured, welcome to your wellness camp thread that they are building.

@autistics

For those of you who may not know. It would appear as if the Guppe groups are down for good. Apparently the bloke who ran it got knifed in the back by the domain being sold to another ahead of schedule and before he could renew it. Whether he will be able to get it back up and running in another way, I don't know.
Fedigroups run a similar service, for those interested. I tagged the autistic one above. https://about.fedigroups.social/home
I'm not sure how widespread this information about the Guppe groups is yet. But, for those of you who us it a lot, whether for autism, or anything else, it may not be the worst idea to post something similar to this to your followers and help spread the word.

@Kuniti_shino @hellomiakoda
I can't say I've ever noticed. But, then, I've never looked for it. Interesting.

@hellomiakoda
I didn't even know there were colour-blind assistance options, so no idea.

@hellomiakoda
Yikes!

@hellomiakoda
A wise choice. I'm always careful about who I let follow me, too. Mostly because I'm aware it will give them access to those I follow and interact with.

@hellomiakoda @Gorfram @Alice
Sound, speech and music, is something I actually struggle to remember. Or, perhaps, it's more that I can't really access the required memory to repeat it. The way words or phrases feel, is what I latch onto when I find myself repeating them.

@Alice
Classic echolalia. 😀

@Gorfram @Alice
It's repeating words, phrases, or sometimes just noise. A common comorbidity of autism.

@hellomiakoda
Me too. But gumming ineffectually at it, really isn't really the same. 😔

@hellomiakoda
I could go with that. Because virtually everything you techies say, is basically gibberish to me.

@hellomiakoda
Hatred or raging anger?

@arisummerland
Sounds like a plan. Orcas have also started giving gifts of food to scuba divers. Although, again, no one knows why and what the purpose is, except possibly fun.
