Early Signs of Autism: What to Look For

The Autistic Teacher

Note:

I know this talks about infants and younger children, and I know I have a majority of older followers. But I thought this could be useful for those who have kids or are thinking about having kids.

saw someone on twitter say that max made a mistake by overdriving in monaco bc he "hasn't realized he's in a title fight" and that "leclerc is an unintelligent driver" for taking risks.

here's a tweet: "max will realize now and adjust his driving from now on. not sure leclerc can ever do that. he seems like an all in guy. always trying to perform at 100% and sometimes goes over 100% -> mistake.

Alonso, Veratappen and Hamilton perform at 97%. when they are in a title fight"

i am interested in your thoughts on this

This is a good example of your typical F1 bro take on twitter. I see these and usually just scroll because they don't know what they are talking about.

This tweet in particular is wrong not only about Charles but the other drivers they mention as well. Ordinarily I wouldn't really engage with this kind of "opinion" because it's not worth the time.

But very quickly:

This is an insane thing to say after watching a race where the whole point was Charles not driving at 100%.

Max was trying to outdrive the problems in Monaco, I expect he will adjust for Canada.

Charles is extremely adaptable and adjusts his driving all the time.

If you were to ask any driver they will tell you they gave the weekend 100%. These percent things are just for this person to feel like they know what they are talking about it means very little. They just made this up.

Taking risks is an important part of F1, drivers who don't take risks usually are the ones who end up stuck behind the same car all race.

I don't know, this is just a take on twitter that really just doesn't understand the drivers they are talking about, their on track performances, or really the sport. I usually see these kinds of things and think "oh they are wrong" and keep scrolling.

F1 bros are very good at saying things that sound informed but aren't. Like I can't even really do much with this just because it's a stupid opinion that isn't really backed up by anything, so I can just say they are wrong and move on.

Like there isn't really much to say other than this being a very uninformed or just a stupid take.

Gonna be Fan-Content Only for a Bit...

Don't worry if you were curious about the original stuff promised, like "Tykes at Heart" or "Scaredy Cubs"! Those are definitely still happening; but when I both build up more of an audience to receive them, and when I finally get over my "Chaotic Quintet" and "The Dreams and Nightmares We Share..." obsession (series that crossover "Corn Kidz 64" and "Ed Edd n Eddy"). I know, I should just go ahead and make original content regardless of how much reception it could get, but... Eh, if you're goal is to build your own original brand, rather than simply sharing stuff, you gotta do what you gotta do. Of course, not to say I'm only doing fan-content for views and such. Seriously, did you see the part about "obsessions" with fan ideas?

I also gotta try my hand at finally making that "Ed Edd n Eddy: Assassin AU" fan series I wanted to do, since C2ndyC1d never seemed to do anything with it and the most we get in the EEnE community is some fanart of it...

(I've even made another "bible" for it)

So, for the most part, looks like I'm becoming an EEnE/CK64 blog, for the most part. Along with some other fanart/fanfiction here and there. But if I'm feeling an extra strong "original" itch, then I'll definitely scratch it, like those logos for my original series. But yeah, if you're not interested in the original stuff, but interested in "Corn Kidz 64" stuff or "Ed Edd n Eddy" stuff (especially a more likeable Sarah and Jimmy), then I guess I'm your blog and content creator!

was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.

I think cis people should also be their gender of choice. Like, if you're a man, you should get to really enjoy being a man- have fun with it! If you're a woman, take the parts of womanhood that really deeply make you happy. If being a little androgynous or ambiguous or hidden is the part that really makes you happy, you don't have to be trans for that. If you wanna lean really hard into being femme or masc- do it! You have one life in your body, do what makes you happy. Ditch the stuff you don't like.

My sinister queer agenda is I think that everyone should be the gender they like in the way they like it.

in loving memory of tumblr's april fools' pranks 💐 2014 - 2024

icymi, tumblr used to do an elaborate april fool's prank every year, but this year they suddenly stopped. here's a somewhat detailed recap of everything they did over the decade:

2013 - mishapocalypse (honourable mention): tumblr staff didn’t start doing april fools until 2014, but the mishapocalypse happened on tumblr in 2013 and i feel like this list would be incomplete without it

2014 - tumblrpro: upon opening your dash you were greeted by an “inspirational” video, that ended with the option to get “tumblrpro (for free)”. all it did was put a top hat on your icon.

2015 - tumblr executivesuite/coppy: a copying machine appeared in the corner of your dash. it would offer tips on how to use tumblr, like clippy the paperclip used to do in microsoft word. as the day went on, it slowly broke down and died right in front of your eyes. many people hated him (but not me). you could also make a (small) spreadsheet. @executivesuite2016 is the official blog.

2016 - this is decision/lizard election/tumblrdecides: a parody of the 2016 US elections. there were 4 lizards (well, one of them turned out to be a salamander in a scandal) to vote for. the dash looked different and there was a live news report with election updates, as well as an election blog for each lizard. they all had their own slogans and you would get an "i voted" button after you voted that would get slapped next to your icon. there were built-in functions to make an election poster for your favourite lizard and to create a text post that supported your lizard of choice that autogenerated a statement for all your followers to read. imo tumblr’s april fools peak. @thisisdecision2016-blog is the official blog, @mop-2016-blog @wretchedtooth @timefordeborah-blog were candidates. rick also had a blog (rick-official) but that now seems to have vanished because he ended up dropping out of the election. mop won, if you're curious. by far the most elaborate prank tumblr ever did.

2017 - horse friend: a tamagotchi-inspired game where you had to take care of a little horse in the corner of your screen. it came with a randomly generated name, and you had to feed and clean up after it. if you didnt take good care of it, it died. you could then hatch (yes, hatch) a new one. there was also an option to look at the names of all your dead horses. this is now available to buy in the tumblr shop. @horse-friends is the official blog.

2018 - tumblcoin: a parody of cryptocurrency (this was the year bitcoin took off). you could ‘invest’ in tumblcoin, with which you could in turn buy things with to spice up your dash, including last year’s horse friend, coppy from 2015, and a frame for around your icon. you could share the amount of tumblcoin you owned in an automatically generated gif post which would be tagged #tbc2018 and #tumblcoin. @tumblcoin is the official blog.

2019 - @memories: this blog still functions the way it did on april fools itself! it's like mad libs, where it takes post templates and then adds in tags you use a lot and users you frequently interact with on your main blog. like a personalized shitpost bot.

2020 - group chat prank/@storybot: it was so hard to find info on this because it was contained entirely in the now-defunct group chat function, which no one used. i had to go through the notes of this post for information because no one cared enough to actually write anything explaining it. turns out, you could write a story with your mutuals by adding storybot to your group chat. it also kept working after april fools (well, up until the group chats were deleted) just like memories. many people missed out on it entirely because they did not use the group chat function.

2021 - tumblcryptids: tumblr allowed you to adopt “non-fungible tumblcryptids”, a parody of NFTs. clicking a button that said "Summon thy Tumblrcryptid" would spawn an image of a little blob-shaped creature with a short description, which would always read "Hi! My name is [randomly generated name]. I love [thing most people like]. I hate [thing most people dislike]. Like my parent, I can't get enough of #[tag from your main blog]." you could share them in a post, which would automatically add the tag #NFTumblcryptids to your post. and yes, people on the piss on the poor website freaked out about it because they thought they were real NFTs harming the environment. @tumblcryptidadoptioncenter is the official blog.

2022 - click-a-thon: when you clicked a light switch on your dashboard, a bunch of colourful things showed up, like a sponge you could move around, an "engagament meter", clickable buttons, and a “Summon Crab!” button, which would summon a crab when you clicked it. you could. the crabs, like horse friend, are still available in the tumblr store as of 2025. here's some screenshots. there were various ways to share your crab activities, which would all get tagged #april fools 2022. the prank was presented as a marketing technique created by Brick Whartley, a fictional businessman character created by tumblr, who (afaik) originated in a post on the official blog of the 2018 april fools prank, albeit originally in a different role. around this time he also started functioning as the mascot for tumblr's shop ( @emporium )

2023 - abstract reactions (emoji reacts): buttons were added to every post that allowed you to add emoji reactions, many of them based on tumblr inside jokes (horse as a reference to horse plinko/horse friend, vanilla for the vanilla extract meme, pikaman, bug for bug race, and brick whartley, who wasn't a meme but staff really wanted him to be). if one specific emoji was used a certain amount of times it would add an effect to the post, eg many cheese emoji reacts would cover the post in cheese. this was also attributed to Brick Whartley ("his" blog @brickwhartley also documented the day)

2024 - boop-o-meter: allowed you to “boop” other users who had opted in to the booping, like facebook’s poke feature back in the day. depending on how long you held the button, you would either boop, super boop, or evil boop. on the dashboard there was a counter for both how many times you had booped others and how many times others had booped you, as well as how many boops were given side-wide. when booping someone, an image of a cat paw appeared. you would get badges (which can still be used) for booping 1, 100 and 1000 times. if you gave/received more than 999 boops, the counter would switch to showing a three-letter word (see this post for specifics). this was brought back for halloween 2024 (as BOOp-o-meter. get it), with a ghost, skeleton and mummy paw. no official blog, but here's an official recap for april first from staff. i believe this was the only april fools prank that was mobile user friendly.

2025 - @fandom is running some polls, i guess
