Autistic. Don’t understand/understand too deeply the human condition, empathetic and/or bluntly practical. Full of paradoxes. Reads Terry Pratchett and New Scientist. Wishes for time to skip the impending doom and go straight to Star Trek era.

My other #BlackFriday suggestion is that you take a fiver you would otherwise have spent on something you'll never use (I may have been there...) and instead give it to my Xmas Appeal.
If only we could make €10,000 by the weekend...

Is it payday? I'd like to make €8,000 by the end of the day...
Every fiver, tenner or fifty quid helps 😘 A share would be great, too. All in aid of the DSPCA and UNICEF Ireland's Gaza and Lebanon appeal.

It's funny, the little differences between Hiberno-English and English. For example, in Ireland, to "get a land" means to be shocked, whereas in England it's a plan to colonise a country

I was thrown into solitary confinement during half of my 5th grade and all of my 6th grade years for asking clarifying questions and taking too long to respond to questions.
Please don't let things like that continue. Be patient with people. You never know their struggle. 💚

If an autistic person asks for clarification, they are not:
- being aggressive
- being rude
- being obtuse
- trying to annoy you
- whatever ableist slur you are throwing at them
They are :
- asking for clarification
It's not about you, don't take it personally, just explain.
