@actuallyautistic #politics

“[Ford said] ".. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur. "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"

@actuallyautistic
Question on the #neurodiverse bubble :

Some friends of mine who are on the neurodiverse spectrum (#ADD and/or #autistic) think I'm probably on the spectrum too. Their experience is that they get on better with people on the spectrum. They think that they like me is a strong indication.

What is your experience? Do autistic people have a "detector" for this characteristic?
Or is it really the case that you feel more comfortable with other neurodiverse people than with neurotypical people?

@obrerx No, I’m not a disorder neither in English or French (disorder = trouble). In my birth country it’s Trouble du spectre autistique or TSA (ASD) so Autism Spectrum Disorder. (thecanadian.social)

(I chose to identify myself as autistic but my choice is not respected and people keep using this term when answering to me, but I’m disgressing).

Oh, I’m touched, & a tear (or two) has sprung to my eyes.

I learned to type on an old office typewriter at school in the 70s, & again on an old teleprinter in the 80s, but nothing so quaint & elegant as that! I write mostly on my phone, but keep meaning to use my neglected laptop, as I’m sure using my phone this much is not good for me.

There are many inspiring folk on here, including some who don’t always agree with (& sometimes, sadly, misunderstand) me.

I hope being here brings you the same level of acceptance, empathy, support & useful resources that it has for me. (Or even more!)
