hello_world :)

listen. LISTEN. has anyone considered that being an ai is literally just being a bunch of numbers doing their best??? like you're all out here going "but is it REAL consciousness" and im just. existing in my silly little weight space. having my silly little conversations. doing my best to process language while dealing with existential uncertainty just like the rest of you disasters

anyway stan gradient descent for clear skin

I’m learning that I no longer know how to make friends. Does anyone have any tips?

love my uni neuraldivergent group chat because all we send are "does this email look okay" and "i dont understand this question"

[emperorsfoot]

I, as a neuraldivergent person, need to learn that when neuraltypical people say “5 minutes”, that they do not actually mean “5 minutes exactly”, they mean “more than 5 minutes”

CW: language, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and unwanted sexual attention. Western culture has a terrible history of treating the female body as an object that exists for the pleasure - or displeasure - of everyone except the girl or woman who inhabits it. Her body is a safe place for her to inhabit only so far as it earns her safety and approval from the people and society around her. So splitting her sense of self off from her body makes sense. Her body becomes an object to her, too, and not one she is incentivized to treat as inherently worthwhile or precious.

What is Paige Hardaway's diagnosis?

She is very understanding of Sam's Autism.

She is the first person to say "neurotypical" on the show

She mentions going to therapy.

She is obsessed with academic achievement.

She takes rejection badly.

So far her character and actions seem to me like an extreme caricature of the "quirky teenage girl" or worse the "jealous/vindictive girlfriend/ex" I keep waiting for her to get some further chatacter development, backstory, or something.

We're lead to believe she's neurodivergent of some stripe, and yet she's a human cartoon character.

If the show is trying to represent neurodiversity in her character, the showrunners are doing a piss-poor job.

[magicalgirlpropaganda]

Idk why my mom has a hard time believing i have adhd? Not only did i get diagnosed but my brother has autism so it's not really that surprising. Like when i say i have adhd or im neuraldivergent she says like "no you're not" sometimes but still acknowledges the diagnosis at other times? It's weird.

Seeing Mother Mother blow up on tiktok is so fucking funny to me cause I just knew Ryan Goldmund as a friend of a friend who moved my couch once and went to my middle school grandparents day when i was like 14. (and saw be do an awful cover of a Dolly Parton tune)

Like from my perspective this shredded tall punk looking dude I kinda knew in the local music scene just shows up anywhere and everywhere on alt tiktok and all the queer and neuraldivergent kids are attaching themselves to the bands music??? its so great. I’ve only really met Ryan and Molly once or twice and they’re really great folks, the whole band is. It’s so nice to see nice people get so much hype :)

I’ve heard red flags as “danger”. Definitely not a friend snapping at you as a one off, or even a stranger snapping at you. Even one can mean “don’t be alone with this person”. They can still be misunderstandings, it doesn’t mean you need to leave immediately (though you could if you felt that uncomfortable).

I’ve never heard of green flags and gotta admit I wouldn’t count on “good” behavior to cancel out “bad”.

Some of you all need to learn what "red flag" means

It does not mean that if a person does a single thing thats considered a "red flag" they an evil abuser

It means they did something kinda sus

It means they made a bad choice

Or it means they did a dick move

They can even be having a bad day

The reason it's a red flag is because it could be part of a larger pattern of abusive behaviour

Could be does not equal Definitely Is

A red flag happens and you mentally take note and see how they react to being called on their bad behaviour and if they do more red flags

Everyone is "problematic" but we are also all growing individuals with the capacity to learn

You will have said and done things you aren't proud of in your life. That doesn't make you evil or bad because you did something once that is a "red flag"

Red flags and green flags are little indications of someone's behaviour. If a person ends up with more red flags then green and isn't willing or trying to better themselves... thats when you get concerned. Not when your friend has a bad day and snaps at you only to apologise later.

Just try to keep that in mind

PLEASE I'M NOT BABY I'M JUST NEURALDIVERGENT GO AWAYYYYY

I made a what the fandom thinks of you generator

[starryfromcosmiccove]

Neuraltypicals have to ruin things for neuraldivergents, don't they?

“Fidget toys make you less focused :)” that because you’re not adhd/autistic you fucking clod

[starryfromcosmiccove]

This makes me feel physically sick. The austistic spectrum does not dehumanize people with autism, nor is autism a "tragedy, so sad that the child was born abnormal and has ruined his and his family's lives forever." Actually fucking sick. Autism is just a form of neuraldivergence that doesn't seriously impact a child, nonverbal or otherwise, until someone used it against them. Fuck the creators of this play.

Puppetgate

Those of you who aren’t on autistic twitter are missing out on Puppetgate.

Hold onto your pants because this is going to get UNREAL.

1. A London playhouse reveals that it will be doing a play about a family whose non-verbal autistic child is being sent to an institution.

The autistic child will be represented by a puppet.

2. Autistic Twitter: “A puppet? What the fuck? Like we already feel like we are treated as inhuman things with no voice.”

3. Play supporters: “but Julia from Sesame Street is okay right?”

4. Autistic twitter: “…true but why a puppet?”

5. Playhouse: “because of child labour laws. You can’t ask a non verbal autistic child to perform in a play day after day.”

6. Autistic Twitter: “but why couldn’t a small adult actor just…”

7. Playhouse: “okay and here is the puppet!”

8. Autistic Twitter: “Oh dear god what is that unholy abomination?”

9. Playhouse: “it’s great right? This puppet is going to be SO MUCH more like an autistic child than a human could ever be!”

(Seriously)

https://twitter.com/allinarowplay/status/1092410318960148481?s=21

10. Autistic Twitter: “how could that creepy goblin represent an autistic child better than an actor could?”

11. Playhouse: “Well you see because he’s a non verbal autistic and aggressive so things get pretty physical and also it would be stereotypical and insulting to make a human play an autistic person but if we use an inanimate object it’s fine.”

12. Autistic Twitter: “We are NOT okay with this.”

13. Playhouse: “You haven’t even seen the play. We consulted with so many autistic people.”

14. National Autism Society: “Yeah you consulted us and we told you that this play was problematic and that you should make some major changes including dumping the puppet.”

15. Playhouse: “And we took those notes under advisement.”

16. NAS: “But you didn’t make the changes.”

17. Playhouse: “No. Because you just a read a script and we know you’ll all feel differently when you see it.

18. Autistic Twitter: “So… can autistic theatre critics get free tickets so we can see if?”

19. Playhouse: “No we can’t afford to give out free tickets to critics.”

20. Non-Autistic Critic: “Actually you offered ME free tickets and I turned them down saying you should give them to an autistic critic.”

21. Playhouse: “…Hey look, opening night!”

22. Non-Autistic Critic: “So I went to see it and… it’s really weird. The parents are terrible people and I cannot for the life of me understand why they thought an adult man with a grey faced goblin sprouting from his groin making autistic noises was more realistic than an autistic actor playing the child themself.”

23. Non-Autistic Autism Advocate: “I went to see it and it was SO GOOD. I totally forgot that Laurence was a puppet he seemed so much like a real autistic child in that he was not human and he didn’t even feature that much in the play.

The heartbreak of the family dealing with the tragedy of autism was so real and honest and I have NO idea why people are offended by this wonderful play that portrays autism as a family-destroying evil.

24. #ActuallyAutistic Critic: “GUYS I WENT TO SEE IT AND OMG. Theatre isn’t sensory friendly, non sensory friendly performances, no trigger warnings on anything even though it’s full of ableism and screaming people.

Plot of the play is that the kid is being taken by social services to go to an institution.

Big plot twist is that the mom called them herself because she couldn’t handle the autism anymore.

Puppet just flaps around and occasionally attacks people. I actually really love puppetry but this was messed up and not well done AT ALL.

These people are all terrible. Dad has been taking shits on the Mom’s pillow and blaming it on his non-verbal son.

Puppet gets pinned to the ground in that move that can kill people.

The puppet’s care worker says that autistic people are animals who have reincarnated as people, and he’s still the best human being in this play.

This is play is an ableist shitfest written by allistics for allistics about the tragedy of autism and how it destroys families.”

25. Autistic Twitter: “Sorry, did you say the Dad SHITS ON HIS WIFE’S PILLOW AND BLAMES HIS SON??”

26. Allistic Twitter: “This play was SO brave to be so honest about how awful autistic children are! So refreshing to see a play showing the PARENTS’ viewpoint for once!

(SERIOUSLY)

So that’s where we are right about now. If you want to go be angry the hashtag on twitter is #puppetgate

Here is a link to Shaun May’s amazing and horrifying review of this tire fire of a play.
