Shane Carruth. Upstream Color is a phenomenal film, but some aspects of the story land different once you know what happened offscreen.

I'm looking to follow some neurodivergent peeps, and I need suggestions on who to follow. #SignalBoost

The past couple of weeks have been spent fixing up the pages I've already worked on, including tweaking the artwork (making it less wonky) and adding missed panels. Deadlines are approaching, but the graphic memoir is looking really nice so far! :)

Game recognize game (autism edition)

Alex Honnold is normally the co-presenter of this podcast, but in this episode, he talks in depth about his live Netflix climb of Taipei 101 this weekend. Climbing Gold: James Bond Principles: Taipei 101 Episode webpage: www.climbinggold.com/episodes/pre...

This is the first photo that I have seen of the packaging. Regardless of whether we love/hate the autistic barbie, it's great for the community that they are giving @autisticadvocacy.org this visibility.

Does anyone know the name of the software for turning head tracking into mouse movements? I seem to remember one paired a forehead dot with it.

📝 The Call for Proposals for #OnlineAutscape2026 is open! 🧭 Theme: “Evolving Autistic Space Online”. ⏳ Submission deadline: 16 January. Please spread far and wide: www.autscape.org/2026/online/... #Autscape #ActuallyAutistic #autistic #autism #neurodiversity #neurodivergence #neurodivergent

Any suggestions for a kdrama to watch? I've liked Twenty Five Twenty One and Extraordinary Attorney Woo and am looking for something similar (slightly escapist, but not fantasy, occasional sob). Ideally on UK Netflix.

Just learned 'access fatigue' 🤯 meaning: the effects of constantly having to explain, teach, & reinvent access. This demand wears us down, shapes how we see ourselves, and makes pushing for inclusion harder. It IS exhausting. I'm so glad I have the vocabulary for this now. #DisabilityJustice

Just six minutes into watching the video and Georgia has already nailed it. The problem with the "is autism overdiagnosed?" debate is that (by using a sleight of hand) "overdiagnosed" doesn't mean what you think it means. Exhibit a:

Which type / number of dice is the most satisfying to roll? Personally, I’m leaning towards two six-sided dice, I think, but I’m interested in what other people feel. (Re-skeets appreciated). Also realising that in this case, *size is important*.

A really interesting and important article. If you limit the words that a person can use, you control what they can say.

She was suspended for quoting a Johnny Cash lyric and won't be allowed back on until she has made a Folsom apology.

Reminder!! Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use! Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does. Instructions are in the bio/first post.

This autistic artist is doing their life story as a graphic novel ("The Big Soup: Growing up Autistic"). Looks good. Follow them for more work in progress.

Some more work-in-progress panels from the College era (shading and tweaks having been applied yet). The part of Cardiff we lived in was rather unpleasant.

Not testing - this was the live server you updated. #filmsky www.imdb.com/title/tt1600...

Bluesky needs a labeller for people still on X.

For any Babylon 5 fans. Closing down Wednesday 29th. Last chance to buy any of these unique books.

Reposting for visibility. Send proposal by 14th Nov. Workshop is 8/9th Jan and will be online as well.

I'm looking for a Spotify alternative for students (in the UK). Does anyone have any recommendations? Qobuz seems like the best option from what I've read so far, except that they only offer 2 years at the student price, while others offer 4.

Great new video of Korean hardcore punk band Slant performing live at the Concrete Jungle festival. Small audience gives 110% as band deserves. Filmed by Palesights (Athipat Nenyod) who documents the music scene in Thailand. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKLW...

Any recommendations for interesting autistic accounts to follow? Ideally, I'm looking for individuals/organisations, rather than starter packs, but all suggestions are welcome.

Let me clarify a few things! 1. People in wheelchairs can have sex. 2. Girls who are paralyzed can get pregnant and give birth. 3. We do not sleep in our wheelchairs. 4. We can speak for ourselves. 5. Every injury is different. 6. Some can feel and some can’t. .

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in writing 300-350 words, (about 1-2 paragraphs) on how disability is portrayed in horror movies. Deadline 24th October 2025 Contact Richardamm(at)gmail.com Find our free disability zines: linktr.ee/disabilityark

A text book example of how a social media ceo communicates their reasoning and actions to users (others take note). Also some useful technical information for those unclear on exactly what bans mean on a distributed social media platform.

Recommend this (free) event. I came across Estas some time ago through a document they submitted to the UN Committee for the Rights of the People with Disabilities. It seems like an interesting self-advocacy group, though I couldn't find much info about it at the time.

Seems like brain fog is the next condition to get the "everyone is a bit autistic" treatment by the media

The Groyper Wars

The thing is that the BBC, for example, already has these correspondents elsewhere in the organisation. It feels like the newsroom just doesn't consult them (or listen to them) - even in obvious situations like this.

in the 23rd century historians are going to need have their Routledge Handbook of 21st-Century Internet Memes, their Cambridge Companion to 4Chan, and their Oxford Guidebook to Computer Gaming Culture handy to make sense of the rise of American fascism and the fall of the United States

Anyone interested in autism research and policy (from a neuro-affirming perspective) might like to follow Aimee's live posting from #AEC2025.

Great live coverage of the conference. Well worth following.

It's a god-awful small affair

A great account to follow, particularly during incidents like this

Seen a few posts saying that working at a charity shop / thrift store gave them first rights to the donations that come in. Has that always been a perk of the job or is it something new?

More frames from this artist's graphic novel on growing up autistic. Recommend following them to see more work in progress.

A nice example of how reformist neurodiversity so often ends up repackaging the same old forms of oppression with slightly different aesthetics. This is happening in education, work, etc. too. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Also people with sensory issues triggered by the conference, the venue, or travel in general. So a lot of autistic researchers. Can also create a hierarchy within an institution as some staff may find it easier to travel to events (or accept invitations or collaborations) than others.

The EHRC is meant to protect everyone’s rights. But internal documents reveal a different story: repeated meetings with anti-trans lobbyists, legal bias, and secret coordination. We filed the FOI. Here’s what we found. tacc.org.uk/2025/07/01/f...

More ASD Memoir updates! So after the supermarket job didn't work out so well, I went on to become a shoeshiner. New cover design concept is in the works! The exisiting book cover idea will probably become an interior cover/titled page instead :)

Sicario director shooting Bond?

Congratulations on the anniversary. A free family event. Make cool stuff with technology.

I really hope we publish a writeup when we figure out how to do algorithms good because it has not been obvious and people need to know what we learn
