If and when the government shutdown ends, can we have a government shut *up* afterwards??

Wow... this explains an awful lot

If Donald the Terrible even has the instincts, in the absence of actual brains, to do one fucking thing right in the next 3 years, let him abolish Daylight Saving Time. Being wide awake at 4 am and unable to stay up past 8:30 pm is quite literally for the birds 😣

Bueller... Bueller... Bueller...

Joke's on you, Death... constantly awake and invisible to all humans is how I spent most of my life already So let me haunt a concert venue and fuck with the sound system whenever there's a band/song I hate on speakers

**New stim unlocked** (in a manner of speaking) fiddling with the padlocks on my straitjacket 😸

The bathtub, perfect place for him to repose with its built-in glory hole

I can't help wondering what my roomie's cat thinks when I come out of my bedroom every morning wearing a catsuit and a set of ears. Does she think I'm horning in on her territory or does she accept me as one of her chosen few?

" #Autistic kids will never go on dates or pay taxes" well maybe they might have a fighting chance if they weren't being ABA'ed or CBT'ed out of their minds, did you ever think of that??!?!

Back in the halcyon days before "lose weight" was the industry standard prescription for everything

The least they could do is schedule the end of Daylight Saving Time for a Monday morning instead of a Sunday 😵

Crazy Cat Lady 😹

Happy National Holiday of Black Cats (aka Halloween) 😸🐈‍⬛🖤

Is it just me or do male cartoon characters all have Marlon Brando's nose?

ND culture is being so fucking tired you can't carry on a normal conversation 😵 #NeurodiverseSquad

Earlier today while browsing FetLife, I expressed condolences to a person observing the anniversary of their partner's death. With the information available, I assumed the deceased had died by suicide. [1/]

Hmm, maybe I should give this a shot 🤔

TW: Extreme ableism. It is Autism Speaks after all.

Yowling out to @ohcatrina.bsky.social and @heatherraebarker.bsky.social for today's Women Who Love Star Trek timeline cleanse 😸🖖🏻💜 (if you'll excuse me, I'll be off to cleanse the alternate timelines as well)

🖤🩶🤍💜 As a black autistic ace woman , I’ve learned that my way of loving, connecting, and existing doesn’t have to fit anyone else’s script. Ace pride is about honoring quiet forms of intimacy, deep care, and the freedom to define love on my own terms #acepride #aceprideweek

Let's see how incel Trekbros handle a Section 31 girl 😼

Taylor Swift should have written a follow-up song called "We Are Never, Ever Getting Together in the First Place"

ND culture is pretending that you are your favorite character from your favorite movie/TV show because TL people have made you so sick of being yourself #ActuallyAutistic

So is someone gonna make an AI video of Mark Carney taking flight in an F-16 and dumping ten tons of maple syrup on the White House or...?

Hence, why even Hiki -- the only known dating app exclusively for neurodivergent people -- is acutely unpopular. Autistic men can be even worse about this than neurotypical men. "Ooh, an #autistic chick will get me, so I can behave however I want!" NO. Don't delude yourself, work on yourself first.

Make no mistake, the Repiglickers were planning on this when they forced the shutdown. Making disabled people suffer and die is all part of the Project 2025 agenda

Fortunately this is a much easier question to answer for the many, many #autistic women who are aroace

“Rights” the Western world cares about more than trans rights: - Right to exploit workers - Right to commit adultery - Right to avoid an actually fair punishment for crime like death for murder - Right to hold racist views - Right to hold journalists to no accountability

Picked up a coffee hack from my roommate pro tem tonight: put a tea kettle full of water in the crock pot and let it heat all night Helps if your tea kettle fits in your crock pot, but tomorrow morning all I gotta do is scoop some grounds into the filter 😸

Man, I can't believe it's only been 3 weeks since I quit my job and a week and a half since I left New York. It feels like it's been a lifetime. Is there some sort of #autistic time perception going on here? Anyone else feel like you're in a high-gravity time dilation after a busy period?

Went Halloween shopping the other night, a group of adolescent girls walked past me and I heard one of them whispering "oh my GOD she's tall." On the one paw, I'm godawful self-conscious about my height, but on the other paw, this is one of those pics where I can see what they mean.

Folks in those circumstances often recommend Proloquo4text or Verbally. And we have a long list of recommendations on our site: thinkingautismguide.com/2017/11/copi...

There are those of us who ordinarily can speak (and even some who can deftly circumnavigate the Venn diagram of infodump and filibuster). But when our stress and/or sensory overload level spikes, spoken expression is the first thing to go. Wonder if there are AAC devices we could reliably access

Well, I do believe I've made a new friend

Let the world know you're not a people person, maybe then they'll leave you tf alone

Sharing just on the off chance that this is for real

Might be a little while adjusting to Mountain Time, so... meanwhile I'm lying awake thinking about burnout, and how it hasn't really hit. Of course, it still might, just when I'm thinking I'm in the clear. But this time, having started the moving process 3 months ago, I'm pleasantly surprised. 1/

Found an old phone with some old pics from my old-old place 😸 (Don't mind my fur in this pic, I had just finished a scene and badly needed to take a lick after this)

Hmm, maybe this is one reason I'm into BDSM, problem solved by having the use of my arms restricted 🤔

Oh, how do you do it, Spirit Halloween... one day you must share the trade secret to making Catwoman costumes hotter and hotter by the year

I wonder if the Founding Fathers ever conceived of a day when people would want to *leave* the USA to start a new and better life instead of coming to it

Don't get me started on the Algorithm Ghetto, it's even worse here than on the dead bird site

So much for "America First" www.axios.com/2025/10/10/t...

Spent the morning catching up with the friend I'm staying with. Apparently, the former president of his previous employer has been confirmed to head the Federal Railroad Administration. Enjoy your trains while you got 'em, my #ActuallyAutistic homies... my friend and I both know this is bad news

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it, I can't do anything about my ludicrous height any more than RFKJ and his vacuum-skulled boss can do anything about my neurology. Come and get me, you idiots. Fuck you and fuck anyone who thinks they can try.

Well... I made it. And holy fuckamoley I was not anticipating these kinds of views 🙀 This is not stereotypical desert, this is inviolable beauty of nature

Ok... one more push should do it as long as nothing goes sideways (including my car) But I feel pretty good so far. Excited, even. Maybe while I'm winding down from the move I'll skeet about the difference between moving due to necessity vs. your own devices On we go!!
