If you missed my free public workshop about making the “I’m autistic conversation go better, the recording and transcript are now available for everyone:

This is why littering your post with emojis is stupid.

Does anyone have good alternatives to happy hour gatherings after work? We have vendors who visit and offer appetizers and drinks in a bar where people can come and go as they like.

For me, I don't drink and the noise in a bar is distracting for conversations. But I'm struggling to come up with a good alternative based on price and convenience.

Any thoughts?

[P] I see this all the time.

NT: The rich have a right to the wealth they earned!
ND: The self-made man is a myth, this is backed by mountains of research. Rich parasites are hoarding wealth they'll never use. For every homeless person there's 3 empty houses.
NT: Uh... Um... La la la! Not listening! Meritocracy is REAL! The rich have a RIGHT to the wealth they EARNED! And me too when I get wealthy!
ND: Sure, meritocracy is totally real... Yeah, good luck with that.

[P] My basis for saying this?

https://www.unicef.org.uk/climate-change/

NT hiverarchy cares nothing for children, they have them to meet societal norms in hiverarchy with no long-term plans for supporting them. These kids are going to suffer, because parasitic NT hiverarchy values the luxuries and conveniences of the now, and the worship of the most parasitic wealth barons, over the sustainability required to give these kids a tomorrow.

Only ND people really give a shit.

[P] Ah, NT hiverarchy is so parasitic they'd try to kill the dragons.

NT: If I kill the dragon, I get more luxury!
ND: But everyone already has luxury!
NT: But *I* and *MY* hiverarchy would have a little *MORE* luxury! That's the point. Duh!
ND: But this would doom the world and ruin it for your own children!
NT: ...I don't see the problem.

Oh hiverarchy. I'm sorry, but you'd predictably ruin the world inside my head. Just as you ruined this one.

[P] The fantasy setting of my own creation has a Myco-Society as its basis! *tailwag.* Where the most powerful and ancient creatures (like ddraig, draich kin, DRAGONS) act as the mother trees, giving much because they can! It's a very upbeat, positive setting where everything is okay, no matter how different! And certain dragons even instantiate their minds to do psyche bonding with many to promote wellness! NT hiverarchy would hate it so much.

[P] I just wish all of the ND weirdos who could exist in a Myco-Society were given the chance to leave for their own world. I'd be so invested in trying to contribute to that. I am disabled and frail, but I'd sure as hell try to contribute something! I might even share my writing and art, just as a baseline, but I'd want to do more than that. I'd be so inspired by a Myco-Society ND world. It's what I long for. It's my hiraeth in Big Secret Wish territory.

[P] Not everyone on Spaceship Earth is evil, just the parasitic NT majority that makes up hiverarchy. It makes me wish that the neurodivergents out there could leave for our own world. I've seen what ND microsocieties are like online, passing around the same five quid constantly with it landing on whomever needs it most, only for them to put it back in rotation later. So mycorrhizal. It's that behaviour that makes me smile.

[P] What little light there is in my existence is all thanks to the unchained, unshackled imagination & empathy of neurodiversity. It can be easy to feel hopeless looking only at the objectively evil parasitism of Dark Triad NT hiverarchy. But... even if we're few in number? At least we existed, contrary to NT's parasitic hiverarchy. I think that's important. Hiverarchy might be so awful it brings about climate apocalypse, but we were here too.

[P] It's why I value my partner so much. I look at them and I ses this non-human sapient, this wonderful empath who'd not only understand my desire for a mutualist society (my Myco-Society) modelled after mycorrhizal networks, but would want it too. I know there are other neurodivergents out there who'd choose that aswell over the cureent NT hiverarchy system of being the biggest parasite. What little hope I have belongs to them. I keep going thanks to them.

[P] I want to further my case here that the reason NT hiverarchy turns to parasitism is due to impaired imagination that can't conceive of mutualism (which requires original thinking).

Aurism: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1750946723002088
ADHD: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7543022/

These are just two atudies, but not much research is done on this. Still, the evidence that does exist seems to support my belief, and its the reason why ND is resistant to Dark Triad developments, unlike NTs.

First Impressions…

Mentioned I think I'm someplace on the autistic spectrum, they seemed to doubt me after knowing me for all of 30 minutes... Meanwhile here I am rearranging the money-notes in my wallet so that each of the 3 sections contains a round number with the smallest at the front and the largest at the back #neurodiversity #autism #ASD

Je n'ai pas trop pratiqué, mais je trouve qu'il y a des éléments intéressants dans l'article rédigé par une de mes collègues de Zenika (avec qui je ne travaille pas) :

I'm working on a future project and will be asking this question frequently to gather as many responses as possible. Your questions will be used anonymously.
As a dog lover, dog owner, or dog parent, what questions do you have about dogs? Behaviour wise, illnesses wise, interest wise, anything. No question is a bad question.

Running against the current with all your thoughts = pointless

If you want change, gather your most precious ideas and get them with you to the other side!

Instead of trying to start a new movement I'd rather just push for "Advanced" / "Next Gen" Neurotypes.

All accounts on Neurotypes so far just seem to copy medicine. Don't do that!

What did you learn? Don't just copy!

Next Gen Neurotypes = Hope

We've already run neurotypes into the ground!

Everyone who has autism should not be ashamed to ask for help or ashamed to receive it.

Believe it or not any speech that begins with something like this

'My name is John Doe. I'm autistic! What words come to mind when you think about the word autism? Autistic?'

Even if with a good intention it tries to promote the idea of Neurodiversity it's like a rocket that can leave earth for space but doesn't because it's chained to earth! "Earth Rock".

Let the rocket go!

Let Neurodiversity happen!

Chaining Neurodiversity like this...makes Neurodiversity = its roots!

Neurodiversity has too strong links to medicine.

Wasn't Neurodiversity supposed to leave it all behind?

Letting thoughts be free.

You can't escape your past if you're chained to it!
