#ADHD ers and other #neurodiverse people can fall into the trap of sitting down for a short pause, and get caught sitting down, scrolling, and not being productive for a long, long time. This is what we call in this house "The Plop". Avoiding The Plop is of utmost importance when we absolutely need to get something done. So we give you the...

Litany Against The Plop

I must not plop.
The Plop is the mind-killer.
The Plop is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my desire to plop.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where The Plop has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

But seriously. If you need to catch a break and are susceptible to The Plop, DO NOT SIT DOWN. Lean. Squat. Hug your partner. Maybe hang head down from the ceiling. But do not sit down.

After work I am so exhausted I nearly always have to just get in bed and lie with my eyes closed for at least half an hour to recover enough to even read or doomscroll.

"High-Functioning" is just a way to say my disabilities don't inconvenience YOU too much.

People with #ADHD, #autism, #dyslexia say #AIagents are helping them succeed at work
A recent study from the UK Department for Business and Trade found that #neurodiverse workers were 25% more satisfied with #AI assistants and were more likely to recommend the tool than #neurotypical respondents.
The study involved 1,000 users of #Microsoft 365 #Copilot from October through December of 2024

A post from Blue sky by @ewacat.bsky.social
"the only ADHD advice that anyone needs is: don't sit down, never sit down, sitting down is what gets you
gonna have a little sit before you do the thing? NO YOU WON'T. YOU HAVE CREATED A BIG SIT AND
YOU ARE LOST IN IT.
the natural enemy of ADHDer is the
sit down"

I'm autistic.

A friend described me with adjectives/adverbs/gerunds.

They're triggers for me.

I asked them instead to tell me how my actions made them feel going forward.

@troed @dojoe I've yet to see that evidenced.

  • "Emily Howell" didn't replace composers just because the very finite options to make classical music that doesn't sould shit are part of the Algorithm.

If you think "#AI" does outpace humans, then you either decided to surrender to the #TechBros that benefit from this shit, or you have no clue what people like, or you'll see the numbers on TikTok & YouTube and know that #AIslop is now more profitable than actual creative labour...

  • But that's just me interpreting...

The only thing "AI" will do is make it easier for #Neurotypicals to discriminate against #Neurodiverse people by making up false accusations of "AI" useage...

Autism is a learning disorder. It's not something that can be healed. I am blessed with friends who tried to enrich my life by introducing/coaching me onto things which ameliorated the autism: falun dafa – I only practice the meditation,

I just realized that there are kinda two kinds of neurodivergent nerds, one being "that one friend who likes to spit out fun facts and knows a lot" vs "that one loner in the corner". I generally fall in the former group and a friend of mine fall in the latter, I do want to help her become more sociable (also she wants to know more people as well), but I feel like I need to introduce her to other people rather than y'know her doing it herself.

Thing is that I don't know what makes me more sociable? I just kinda talk about Cyprinids, Constantinople, Weaver Ants, Catholicism, and even weird shit like sea slug sexual reproduction and people think it's like "oh look she's talking about interesting stuff" instead of viewing me as weird? like what makes me more sociable? How do I kinda guide people to be more sociable? I have no clue

Hey gang! In advance of #FediBookFair coming up at the weekend, I'd like to introduce my #NeuroDiverse author/screenwriter wife's new fediverse account @amysparkes . She's in the process of finalising the setup, intro posts etc. but if you follow me and don't mind the book posts too much, you might like to give her new account a prod too!

Why isn't "quacking with the ducks" used as an expression for allistics talking to each other? As way of identifying an allistic, "they're not autistic, they were quacking with the ducks".
