**YAWN** OMG I have post-conference post-overwhelm post-everything exhaustion.

Today in #austistic humour, I noticed something interesting: the word overwhelm gets more accurate the more you misspell it. Exhibit A: Orwehvlem.

There's a webinar on #neurodiversity in #education starting up in about a minute! It'll feature folks from Landmark College, which focuses on students with #ADHD, who are #austistic, have #dyslexia, etc.

Here's a link to the YouTube stream… maybe it'll be a recording later as well?

@benjaminallocco @kava Hey, welcome! I'm most likely going to be in a Zoom group for #austistic folks in about 25 minutes. I'm already pretty #krunked right now, hoping to be social or something.

OK, #austistic question here.

Y'all can see how my days broke down, starting at ~9am, finishing at 10pm, but with a "break" in the middle between finishing around 5-6pm and starting again for 8-10pm. This graphs my chargeable hours.

But did I work a 46 hour week or a 65 hour week? Because even when I'm "on break", my brain is still churning while I try to relax.

I went to sleep excited to do some outside work at the house today, but I woke up, now it’s raining all day, and I’m not sure what to do with myself. I suppose there are some things inside the house that I can get done, but that’s not what my brain was _excited_ to do, y’know? And so now my brain is just like, “whelp I guess it’s useless to try to do anything at all ever.” #ADHD #Austistic

@TeacherGriff
Yes, I think that is common. As another autistic high-achiever, my theory is that with #austistic people, their language skills are poor in the non-language area, but often fine in the language area. Animals communicate with each other, but only humans do so using spoken and especially written language. But the major part of social interaction is non-verbal - such as body posture, intonation, facial expression, emotion etc, which autistic people are poor(er) at.
So autistic people manage best in purely written language situations, okay at purely spoken, and poorly when actually having to directly interact with other people.
Autistic people can improve these outcomes, by playing to their strengths and minimising their weaknesses - and the technology around today helps with this - using emails instead of phone call, using phone calls instead of face-to-face, and using formal social settings in place of free-form settings, for instance.

With all these new people coming on board, I thought that it might be worth redoing my #introduction. I am a neurodivergent #actuallyautistic #actuallyadhd male with #mentalhealth issues. I live with the rest of my #austistic family in our autistic house sharing care of 2 girls with my ex.

By day I am a non-mild manner #IT #nerd. If asked, I don't fix computers; I make lights blink and the internet work.

By night I wear the cape as maintainer of the mastodon instance https://neurodiversity-in.au.

So here’s my #introduction. I am a #DataScientist #analyst and #PythonDev by day and an #artist #painter the rest of the time (as well as other things). I am #AuDHD (#Austistic + #ADHD) which means I have two humans in living in my brain who sometimes get on marvellously and other times hate each other. Here are two self portraits.One depicts my face, the other is more accurate - a dayglo, occasionally scary mishmash of bits of apparently disparate humans who is frequently misunderstood.

"what makes them disabled is not because of impairments but rather the restricted social organization of this society and the system that imposes on the disabled community"

"In my perception, however, banning alcoholic beverages for PWDs is also ableist in nature, … despite that not all of them are necessarily incapable of making decisions."
