A guy next to me on my first flight wasn't wearing a mask so I offered one of my N95s; he was like, "No, don't use." So I Google-translated "I'm getting surgery, COVID is dangerous for me." He went, "Oh" and put on his own mask. People forget they put others at risk.

The danger of being ADHD and getting distracted is that you don't notice it happening. One second you're working on a thing and the next second you jolt back into reality and realize you've been doing something entirely unrelated for either 1 minute or 2 hours.

@RahulKohli13 If there’s one thing I’ve learned about being autistic, it’s that the β€œmild” and β€œsevere” categories just define how we affect others, not our own experiences of our brains. I think what matters is YOUR needs, your experience of how your brain affects your life and self.

NTs are really concerned with forcing #autistic people to β€œmake friends” and β€œsocialize” in NT ways, when they don’t realize that NT methods of doing so are often the opposite of how autistic people connect, and they’re forcing us to participate in intensifying our loneliness.

You don't actually realize how badly others will misinterpret you as an #autistic person until you spend an hour on an autistic-run website full of articles directed at friends, family, and caregivers on how NOT to assume everything you do is actively malicious.

@chorizamay I had this happen. A girl who physically bullied me in elementary school was at a mutual friend’s bday party years later and was like β€œHaha you were a wild animal, remember? πŸ˜‚β€ and I was like, β€œBc you and your friends chased me and held me off the ground while I screamed??”

@AlikaMD To this day, I have no idea whether the illness that knocked me flat for 2 weeks in December 2019 (which I caught from a friend who’d come directly from the airport after about a week in India) was regular flu, swine flu, COVID, or something else. But I’ve NEVER been that sick.

It's like being told to memorize the color blue without context for what "blue" is in relation to any other colors. How do I know what "blue" is without seeing where it falls in the pattern of other colors?

@JVanVleet84 No, they’re not. COVID is that dangerous that even with 4 vaccinations, I could still catch a variant. Every COVID infection increases your risk of worse COVID and susceptibility to other diseases. BUT masks and vaccines decrease that risk, improving all our chances.

Think about all the societal structures that are in place to protect NT people from things they find distressing, and imagine if society they had to experience all of those distressing things on a daily basis, without sympathy or assistance. That's how #autistic people live.

I think the best way for NT people to imagine the stress that their non-answers cause #autistic people is to imagine calling a national emergency hotline (911, for example) needing them to explain CPR to revive your friend & they say, "Just go with your heart, I believe in you!"

Why do they always bring up β€œif Hamas would release the hostages there would be a ceasefire” as if Israel didn’t turn down multiple offers of having all hostages returned on the condition of a ceasefire?
@Imani_Barbarin
Here is Cory Booker intentionally conflating saving Palestinian lives as β€œDefending Hamas” while also implying that Qatar and Egypt were lying when the Palestinian delegation agreed to release hostages (mind you, for the umpteenth time bc they offered in October too). 1 | 2
