@autismsupsoc you know the adage "the way an introvert joins a friend group is an extrovert adopts them?"

I'd like to add to that "or a neighbor who regularly takes their cat for walks moves in, in which case the cat adopts both of them"

@autismsupsoc btw thought you might enjoy this post too

@autismsupsoc Sympathetic animism while coding

Me in 2016: Changing the wording of my documentation if the last line of a comment has only one word so it's not lonely

@autismsupsoc if you've ever given a $7 tip to your Uber driver after a 7.77 mile run because you made one comment about the treeline along the Charles River and then he infodumped the entire ride about the trees as a stroke of urban planning brilliance (blocking noise, wind, and erosion), you @MightBeAutistic

(Not sure if he's ND too or just really knows urban planning, but that made my morning)

@autismsupsoc "What proof do you have that autism and ADHD are everywhere?"

I’ve been playing around with a true cross platform example app in an effort to make sure Neon works well for non-macOS. UITextView is *so* different from NSTextView!

It is really driving home how much I do not understand UIKit. But it’s also quite fun…

Neurodivergent culture is going from "socially on autopilot waiting for an excuse to dip from this party" to "Trader Joe's cashier" instantaneously because someone at the party mentioned a Special Interest that you researched extensively on Wikipedia in 2009 and you've got STUFF to say

Did you know that #basicincome experiments have shown time and time again that given the choice, people don't choose idleness? They choose education. They choose entrepreneurship. They pursue culture and care. By guaranteeing survival, universal basic income enables truly living.
