I would like to feel needed by someone. Unfortunately, no one needs me.

@autistics #ActuallyAutistic i'd been having a bad couple of weeks and today i am feeling a lot better...

...in no small part thanks to this community…

...you are all the best medicine

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 846 , Friday 20/02/2026

Friday started at around 07:15.

Its been another miserable, grey, wet winters day here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire & I have responded by hiding indoors!

Chores followed breakfast.

After lunch I played some KCD2 then around 15:30 decided that the best way to get my room organised was to rearrange my not insubstantial collection of books so that those I will need for my forthcoming return to computing basics should be to hand above my desk.

It should be noted that dusting is not a forte of mine, this became amply apparent as I took down the volumes from my top shelf!

Despite placing it in a ‘safe’ place while rearranging my books I managed to knock the model dragon Mrs S got me for my birthday over & of course it hit something as it fell so now I will have to see if i can effect repairs before she notices!

So many books! So little time!

Had a burger for tea rather than my usual pizza & very nice it was too!

Watched an episode of ‘Judge John Deed’ this evening, very enjoyable!

Final Thoughts.

Not a bad day all things being equal, shame about the dragon. I wonder if being clumsy is an ND trait?

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

They do, and their We are All the Same, One Human Nature stuff let’s s them say those things about “some people,” instead of a whole type and so themselves - but also, there’s the opposite “mistake,” where they think traits that are ours and really not theirs get to count towards their One Human Nature (like passivity and probably some savantisms). They get to claim a trait and its bloody opposite with this We are All the Same stuff.

A pink and purple poster with abstract flowing shapes in the background. Large bold text at the top reads: “SUPPORT WANDA STAY FED, MEDICATED, & CONNECTED.”

Under the heading “Essentials:” there are illustrated icons of a red device with a lightning bolt and antenna-like lines (electricity), a water tap dripping and a coin (water bill), a white WiFi router with signal lines (internet bill), prescription medicine bottles (medical costs), a grocery bag with produce, and a red shopping basket with food and supplies.

Below, a heading reads: “The work continues:” above an illustration of hands typing on a laptop surrounded by floating books and a glowing lightbulb, symbolising research and creative work. A text box near the bottom reads:
• Goal: 400 people committing $5/month
• Objective: Work continues independently within disability constraint
• Accessibility: Liberapay tiers start at $1.

At the bottom are three QR codes with platform logos for Ko-fi, Patreon, and Liberapay.

People treat it like lightning, once in a while a Very Bad Man - but the spanking that sets it up is everyone, and it’s not rare, it’s fucking inevitable.

Please don't say trump is having a meltdown.... It's an insult to autistic people. What he had was tantrum because he didn't get his way.
#trump #Donaldtrump #autistic #actuallyautistic

Hot take:

Allism and especially neurotypicality get indirectly and casually pathologised all the time.

People just don't realise, that they are partially talking about themself instead of just others, when they talk about how "crazy" and "insane" the wold has gotten and others are acting.

Some even realise they are implicated themself, but just treat it as if it doesn't need to be investigated any further, because "it's normal" and "everyone is doing it".

Cutout from an image from the Cartoon Spongebob Squarepants.

Spongebob, the protagonist, an antropomorphised sponge, is holding a wanted poster.
The poster has the text "Wanted Maniac" in caipitalised letters on it and in the middle, a crude drawing that looks like Spongebob.

Spongebob looks worried as he realises, that he is the wanted maniac.

Live with the jubilant Pikuchiii playing more #SplitFiction. We'll be fighting dragons! Later, I'll be doing some #LiesOfP solo. Hopefully, I won't be fighting dragons! 😱🐉 twitch.tv/ElMagnificoGames #ActuallyAutistic #VTuber

The systems in our society are deeply broken. Autistics often feel the effects earlier and more strongly, but people of all kinds are burning out in record numbers because we can't keep this up much longer.

We went to a comedy gig last week with #CerysBradley - #ActuallyAutistic Excellence award-winner in 2022.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI69HZWZ26c

Their latest show, Queer Tales for Autistic Folk, is based around a 'choose your own adventure' theme, and Norwich had a varied audience across the gender and age spectrum, from grey-haired-pensioners-with-much younger-wives (as I'm contractually obliged to say) to teens, all contributing to a slightly off-kilter, gloriously inclusive evening with a real warmth to the atmosphere.

I have no connection to Cerys but
all of this is to attempt to find people who a) like laughing b) live near Bury and c) fancy a trip out to the Met on Feb 28th. If that's you, consider this a firm recommendation!

Finally have an assessment for autism in mid-March after waiting just over three years! Can any #ActuallyAutistic folx in the UK tell me what exactly is involved and how best should I prepare for this? I’m slightly nervous about how this is gonna go… 😰

Child, I said no such thing, I thought no such thing, I desired no such thing, because I am not like you people 😠

Autistic woman who got dressed in dark would be wearing that outfit regardless

An autistic woman asked by a colleague if she got dressed in the dark absolutely did – but that’s not why she’s wearing that, eyewitnesses have reported. Beth Hapworth, 44, reportedly arrived at her job as an events coordinator for a small conference centre dressed...
