What are my #ActuallyAutistic comrades reading/listening to this weekend?

#AutisticBookClub

@actuallyautistic

It's been a year since I've read a fantasy book and I've just started #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree by Samantha Shannon and I am LOVING IT! 🥰 📖

It is 848 pages long, which is making me so happy as books are never long enough...

Fantasy is the best escape from stress and I've missed it so much AND there's an equally massive (880 pages) prequel; I'm just so happy!

And the cover, perfect!

“Seeing The Unseen”
A documentary about Autistic Icelandic Women

I’ve never seen the documentary, the trailer was enough. It made me feel seen, and that I am not alone, and that there are others like me.

Even tho it says ‘women’ I think the emotion in this trailer is universally #Autistic

So I need to say a thing, it’s a happy thing.
I got my pathology results back yesterday, and my CT scan results back today (I’m in hospital) and:

I DON’T HAVE CANCER!!!!!!! 🎉🥳💗😆💛😁

I can’t stop crying, it feels like I’ve been given my life back!!

SO GRATEFUL!! 💛💛💛
I LOVE YOU ALL! xxx

Does an #Autistic #BIPOC #BookClub that is international & free sound good to you? 📚

All leaders & members will be from #BIPOC Communities & #ActuallyAutistic

The #Autizzy Book Club would have monthly zoom meets & read the same books as the #AutisticBookClub

(‘Autizzy Book Club’ is a place holder name, members can decide the final name!) 😄

DM me on Insta if interested or for more details 🌈 ♾️

@DavidTanner @Unatributed @libreture @bookstodon I've been using #GoodReads which is easy to use and I quite like, also so many detailed book reviews.

Then because I love all things #Fediverse I tried #BookWyrm but it felt a bit lonely, so am now trying #StoryGraph which is better IMO than BookWyrm but I think I'm going to stick with Goodreads.

@btaroli You’re now in the Book Club and once you’ve been admitted you can RSVP to events, which I see you’ve done ☺️

Yes, we have 2 Book Clubs today for ‘Project Hail Mary’. There’s a list of international times on each event so you can figure out which time works best for you!

We’ll be talking about the book but also Autistic friendships and the Autistic ‘sense of justice’.

See you there!

@loops @actuallyautistic I've always lived my life in 6-12 month blocks; it seems presumptuous to plan any further.

I do dream, but solid plans have always been within 6-12 months.

IMO I don't think the inherent curiosity within our community gels with one career.

My initial passion was IT, I was The #Linux Nerd, but then it paled and #Law became my new joy and I haven't tired of that, yet, but illness has sadly negated any further study.

Now my joy & passion is the #AutisticBookClub !

Just finished reading But You Don't Look Autistic At All by Bianca Toeps. I really enjoyed it. She gives a good mix of scientific fact and "this is what autism is like for me" and "this is what autism is like for some other autistic people I've talked to." Highly recommended. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticBookClub

@britt @linenandspice There’s nothing like being in #AutisticCommunity for validation! 🌈♾
I’m so pleased you liked it!💗📚
