Il mio livello di misofonia?
Una volta ho cambiato casa perché non mi piaceva come il mio vicino si soffiava il naso.

On why things like #Autism and #ADHD are not, and never have been, a modern 'trend' or recent phenomenon.
Hey #ActuallyAutistic community! What’s your favorite season?
@anon_opin As a kid, I absolutely could not stand the feeling of the seams against my skin, and 100% always insisted on wearing them seams-out, if barefoot wasn’t an option.
Edit: it occurs to me now that this sensitivity was one of my mild #autism traits.
This is perhaps oversimplifying the topic but for some it might be a helpful step in understanding

Major Princeton #autism study uncovers 4 clinically & biologically distinct subtypes, is a transformative step in understanding Autism’s genetic underpinnings
I have now got a week off work and no I'm not going anywhere. I gave up on that a long time ago and besides, all my stuff's here. And yes, I've written a list for what I want to try and achieve and the rough timetable for it, that's an obvious. But, finally, I can relax and not have to dwell on anything and just enjoy my, me time.
"Er..."
Yes, my Audhd brain.
"You know the reason for taking this particular week off?"
Yes, someone is coming in on Thursday to replace my central heating boiler.
"So, take a wild guess on what I'm going to make you dwell and obsessively think and worry about."
Bugger! Why brain, why?
"It's what I do."

“There are four distinct varieties of #autism, each linked to unique genetic profiles — a discovery that could offer new insights into the neurodevelopmental condition, according to a new study in Nature Genetics.”

I’m starting to see a major pattern in the “Autistic Advice” arena, meaning places where autistic people educate and help one another.
1. They don’t actually seem to be run by Autistic people and seem to make no accommodation for being autistic…
2. The advice is split between, “mask and never tell them you’re autistic” and “advocate for yourself and get accommodations” without anything in between.
@fulelo I have a family member who has Severe Classic Autism, who groped me when we were both adults. Not because they are a creep, but because they seriously don't understand that that's a wrong social interaction. I pushed them away gently, said no, and they respected my no.
Yes, Autism IS a "free pass" for "bad behavior." People who don't understand that don't really understand Autism and shouldn't be allowed within 500 ft. of any Autistic person.
Flat. Out.
And fuck any "charity" or "organization" who doesn't agree with that. They're obviously doing no good in the Autism community, and are ignorant as hell.

@GossiTheDog So many people talking for us about us in this article, and so little autistic people are quoted in it. Why I’m not surprised?! (Sarcasm, and yes I’m autistic and I can be sarcastic).
Here's some interesting ideas in #autism. 4 subtypes, w genetic markers, in autism. That's big.

Now I’m very angry.
Putting aside the blatant “you can’t blame me for inappropriate sexual behavior at work because disability” nonesense here, there is something more dangerous.
The diagnosis is described as “recent”, and he had the job for about 20 years, but he says he will sue because “TV bosses had failed to ‘investigate my disability’”.
If a court agrees that his bosses did something wrong, then it’s no longer your decision whether you disclose your disability to employers, it’s their responsibility to “investigate” and take action, even in the absence of a diagnosis.
Get ready for: “you look/sound/seem Autistic so as your employer I am required make sure you’re not allowed to work one-to-one with anyone”. Or, you know, “you seem Autistic, so the job will go to anyone else since we’ll be blamed later if something goes wrong”.
I hope they absolutely throw the book at him.

There was a conversation with my mother and older brother when I was maybe 6 when I was determined there were two spellings of the word "city".
We determined it was the plural but it has never not annoyed me I was wrong somehow.
