New here. Not sure what I'm doing.
I was one of just 27% of my county who voted. These are my digital voting stickers.
Please vote. If you need a reason, think of the threat to SNAP (food supplementary) benefits for low income people in the US right now.
Voting matters.

If people think Maria Corina Machado, the choice for the peace prize, was a great victory for the left, think again: She's a huge Netanyahu supporter, loves Trump, supports dictators. She dedicated her Nobel award to Trump!
Still glad Trump didn't get the award (that would be ridiculous).
But wtf?

So I found a piece of a soft, old rotten branch on the ground that worked nicely as an eraser to rub off the crayon writing. My path is restored. I also used it to erase the writing on the sidewalk.
Just doing my small part in opposing the fascism that is sweeping the US at the moment.

Someone wrote this on a log that crosses my daily walking path through the forest, & on the sidewalk nearby.
This is extremely offensive. Don't violate the quiet forest.
The forest is like a sacred place to me. It calms me, restores me. As an #autistic I need refuge from the world of ppl.

I think most of us autistics don't even like Elon Musk, and don't at all see him as in anyway emblematic or at all representative of autism, and we are offended to be seen as anything like him. Amazing how wrong some of these autistiphobes are about how we really think.

Is US democracy being destroyed? Are we in the midst of an authoritarian coup with Trump?
Not all coups involve the military or martial law. Read this:

There's an autistic account (which is also on twitter with a massive number of followers) who posted on Twitter that autistics tend to be conservative and right wing. What do Bluesky autistics think about this? Curious, because I think online autistics (supported by a few polls) tend to lean left.

Just a head's up to some of my mutuals who follow this account:

which is a 100% MAGA Trump-supporting account. I think some of us followed him back, because it seemed to be a harmless account, but it's toxic.

Elon Musk now embraces and adds his support to AdF, the neo-Nazi party in Germany. For me, as a person who lives in the US, this is getting scary, given the enormous power Musk as our premier oligarch has over US government.

That autistic moment when you get a vibe that the music you're listening to was composed by an autistic, so you check, and it turns out you're right: Eric Satie!
Satie's piano pieces, the Gnossiennes and Gymnopédies, send me into bliss.

Looks like you already have been reported to the teacher. I wonder how many strikes you get. Anyway... you come off as a really toxic, violent, hyper-masculine woman-hating troll whose vocabulary is mostly limited to pussy, retard, and one or two other slurs.

Whoa, there. This bigotry and hatred toward #autistics should probably be reported. #Autistiphobia is as much a form of intolerance as misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.

Social media reminds me of a big popularity contest, while everyone pretends it isn't, even as they engage in it and perpetuate it. Weird.
I can't unsee it. I am so different this way.

Also, the same article refers to different types of alexithymia, including primary alexithymia that begins at a very young age. Since autism is mostly heritable & passed on to children, they are born autistic. This early onset could make alexithymia very deeply embedded in the autistic neurology.

It would be valid to put monotropism under the "repetitive and restrictive behaviors" criteria in the DSM, it seems to me. Hyperfocus as well. It's a fairly well known aspect of autism. And "perseveritive behaviors".
