just heard a very well respected psychologist say autistic people are less likely to feel shame at social miscues or making others feel bad, and I just cannot dispute that enough. Maybe its just an AUDHD overlap that makes this error especially glaring but shame is sort of part of our whole thing.

I recently met an inspiring Pasifika woman who reminded me of the immense power of community, resilience, and the arts in shaping healthier societies. Early in her life, she was gaslit into believing she wasn’t good enough to be a professional musician. 1/6

I’m not actually sure. Need to look into it. I went with RAADS-R where very high. But people have mumbled autism around me when I was younger (or Asperger’s) and then I met some people that run autism communities in my travels.
RAADS–R | Embrace Autism
The RAADS–R is a questionnaire designed to assist clinicians with the diagnosis of autistic adults who often “escape diagnosis” due to a subclinical level presentation.

Also, you might find that some practitioners are much more affordable than others.E.g there are telehealth providers in the Australia that are less horrifically expensive and/or more reasonable about charging for brief reviews and refills.

let’s talk for a few minutes about the way that Nazis and other bad actors are starting to infiltrate liberal circles on blue sky. This network of accounts, which is now removed was being used to seed bad news sources into resist circles while also spreading misinformation about a number of topics.
I have anywhere between dozens to hundreds of mutuals following each account in this network. Each account has gained thousands of followers, and most of them still have a “new user” sun next to their name.
Even if I vet my own follows, I’d still have to block/mute to remove it from my feeds.

Feast or famine. CaPArtists have to be so mentally well and strong to cope with this on a long term basis. Parents, partners, friends who can tide them over financially during the famine periods helps them survive but it doesn’t help them thrive mentally.
