As part of my role, I'm building an autism resource guide, and it's surreal seeing a lot of my stuff (as well as my advocacy friend's stuff) come up in places I wasn't expecting to see it in. Feels like I've made it.

My good pal @rollforkindness.bsky.social showed me this beautiful essay.
Comfort TTRPGs are rising fast. Wanderhome, Ryuutama and other cosy games offer rest, safety and gentle stories in a loud, stressful world. Why do they resonate so deeply right now Find out in our latest article! 🌿
The Rise of Comfort TTRPGs: Cosy Gaming, Slice of Life, and the Fantasy of Safety
Starting with 2020, I noticed an interesting thing in regards to the TTRPG space. While violent, heavy dungeon crawl adventure games are still selling lots of copies and rank high on streaming platforms, there has been a growing trend of what I would dub "Comfort" TTRPGs (wholesome/cosy) that dare I say, started to gain more and more ground even when compared to the holy dungeon-crawl.

Something I've been looking at a lot recently is screentime use and neurodivergence, and how to build agency around how they engage with screens to be beneficial.

For #worldkindness day I should probably plug rollforkindness.com, my site on how to use tabletop gaming to teach not just social skills, but the skill of kindness.

A while back one of the students in my D&D autism group called me 'The most reasonable adult' she knew, and it was sad.
That means that in that student's life, there were a LOT of unreasonable adults. And I've seen it, autistics are CONSTANTLY dealing with adults who are arbitrarily unreasonable.

I wonder if there's been any studies looking at autistic kids who love to line up and organize their toys, and autistic adults who love playing solitaire. Just putting things in very nice, orderly stacks is fun.

I was just laid off due to funding reasons. I was working my dream job at a disability advocacy nonprofit, doing youth advocacy and education. Mr Rogers said, look for the helpers. This administration hurts the helpers.

Check on your autistic friends, we're not ok.
The president just trashed all the work the autism community has been doing for acceptance of our uniqueness as genetic (which is well established) and blamed autism on maternal Tylenol use.
We've been reduced to another thing to blame moms for.

A trend I see in a lot of disability advocacy studies and symposiums is a strong recognition of a need to include more Intellectual/Developmental Disability based accommodation but the ADA doesn't adequately meet those needs. But nobody has any ideas around how to improve I/DD accommodation.

Anytime I talk to medical researchers, I come away thinking "We're so close to something cool." So many nerds slave away in the dark trying to eradicate disease and nobody will know their names. And it might be completely wiped out.
This sort of modelling is obviously quite uncertain, but overwhelmingly it shows that vaccines have a massive saving in economic terms.
The COVID-19 vaccines may have been the best investment that humanity ever made!

Wow!
Covid vaccine development and delivery cost $79.4 billion, but the health and economic benefits of vaccination were valued between $4.83 trillion–$37.8 trillion.
A return on investment of $59.8–$475 per dollar invested!!
This is why vaccine equity matters!

A few years ago, I published a framework for teaching autistic social advocacy skills, and it got a bit of traction. The goal was teaching alternative social skills that focus on self advocacy and peer accommodation.
I just saw a non-autistic offering a paid training with a VERY similar framework.

Just got word that almost a million in funding got cut from WA state nonprofits and disability orgs. This is devastating and will effectively kill these critical services.
What is especially sickening is that some of the funding will be given to other states for their programs. This is punishment.

I'm attending a county wide disaster simulation tabletop for disability-based emergency response (ironically it's all on a big screen) and it's interesting how 90% of the issues are transportation related.
When planning for a disaster, make sure you focus on transportation backup plans.
