it can also help to set your alarm an hour early, take your meds or have some coffee, and then snooze for another hour

the alarmy app makes noise until you take a picture of a specific item. i've tried alarms that shake the bed, alarms that make me solve math problems, and the only thing that actually works for me is getting out of bed. even then it's easy to fall back asleep

patches, right? like for a battle jacket

it's ok to say autistic! and musk being autistic doesn't degrade us. his actions have nothing to do with being autistic and everything to do with being a racist eugenicist asshole

seconded! i don't regret buying my pipersong, it feels like the best choice for the way i sit, but the seat is not especially comfortable and the whole thing feels a little wobbly

can i ask what video this is? it sounds relatable 🙃

nothing in this one, but a linked article said that the show was originally renewed for a third season, but will now end with a single 90 min episode. gaiman contributed to the writing but won't be involved with production. no comments from anyone, at least in this article

sure thing! research is super helpful as long as you remember that each person is the expert on their own autism. ime people don't mind questions, plus it's likely your friend has some big feelings post-diagnosis and might want to vent. you sound like a good and attentive friend, i wouldn't worry!

absent any context, autistic-led organizations like the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network are great resources. there's lots of great autistic creators on here too. i'm speaking very generally, idk if you have a particular focus or just adult autism in general

i LOVE talia hibbert for autistic rep. i think one of her FMCs has chronic pain as well
