Introduction:

Mostly I’m on mastodon.
I roam in between science and the autism community, also Nature Moss Infosec

I did make an account on BS just to follow some of the science professors.

I put my spins and interests which are some of them.

Im a big fan of open source, Creative Commons, IETF, IEEE.

I wanted to try and find a supportive and creative community instance to chill and have fun and try to separate my parts of my mind to make it easier to live, love, contribute and share with others

So here’s my attempt at my Intro:(Sorry I will Update more later, low on spoons

I unfortunately was very confused most of my life about my #adhd and #autism and how it impacted my life. I didn’t know. It’s no excuse for that confusion, but I didn’t really know how to explain some things until 2 years ago. I’ve worked and learned my way through life the best I could.

I’m also attempting to recover through one of the worst burnouts in my life.

I’m not here for drama I see it so much, I’m fine with discourse or debate about things, I just see things in far too many perceptual ways. So I can only try to be my best self based off that.

These aren’t the easiest facts for me to admit.

If I can’t be open about them and about how I am, how can I expect people to understand!

It’s been an exhausting, taxing and rewarding to run down the science on why I’m different only to figure out why I was so confused.

I guess life is a journey at least for the brief glimpse of being.

It’s nearly two years I don’t have a lot to show for it.

However I feel better so there’s that.

Learning about myself has been a work in progress.
I’ve had to read so many books talked to soooo many people , but most importantly I listened to every single generation that would talk to me including psychologists and psychiatrists who are Neurodivergent.

I’m so deeply grateful for the community!

I’ve survived all the rabbit holes so far from behavior biology to reading textbooks on Evolutionary biology. Learning about topics epistemologically, intersectionality through multi-generational trauma.

Soaking up every bit like a sponge until I hit implicit bias.
I thought about how all these sciences connect and how these complex systems work
Not only out in nature but also in my own life. I’m far too practical sometimes!

Well perhaps I wasn’t wasting valuable burnout time.

Anyhow after I found my purpose or goal it all kind of melted away except my burnout. It made sense.
Even my autistic burnout seemed better.

I decided I want to live, experiment, experience the world vs Survive, I also wanted to advocate in my local community for equality and inclusiveness for us all and also online communities.

I feel we are in this together. Despite how separate it feels at time.

I’m going to try and get some of my posts over here from the few from nD.me plus I know some friendly faces here. Thanks for the welcome!

@pathfinder
Oh so you transferred Instances and everything. I’m always affraid of loosing stuff so I manually transfer and delete.

Also
Thanks for everything Kevin,

Words cannot express how much I have learned from you and how grateful I am.
I just wanted you to know how much I respect you and appreciate you! You and many others here have really shaped my life in a better way! 🥰

@clacke I’ll get you studies today :)

@clacke @pathfinder @actuallyautistic
Plus when you look at the health problems you can get as you get older sux. It makes it harder to function in society basically. All the wears upon you then you add generational a trauma it’s a lot for many of us to navigate without assistance. We obviously think differently. Extreme hyperphantasia in adults hyper phantasia, more vivid recall. Cited by nih I can get the paper :)

@clacke @pathfinder @actuallyautistic
perhaps familiar with it. I just learned this year soooo much, what has it taught me,
the more I learn the less I know .

QI’ve done metacog work since small. Metacognition is basically teaching yourself how to think. Think of them as altralight inference as why things happen they way they do. Most embodied systems l learn watching others or experience.

So when I learned about autism it was like 😮 this is why after dx it expanded my worldview, it’s so vast it can cause paradigm shifts by some . It’s a tough time.
If you have specific questions just lmk im happy to share any experiences :)
