“For the last few years, Niantic Spatial has been taking the data collected from players of Pokémon Go and Ingress (Niantic’s previous phone-based AR game, launched in 2013) and building a visual positioning system, technology that tells you where you are based on what you can see.”
This is the message we are explicitly given. People who are expected to do both are breaking
I'm not sure why anyone who cares about and enjoys science would ever want to do this. I love the difficult science bits of my job. I also love writing and reading. That's what I trained for.
The autistic spectrum isn't linear from high to low (or from neurotypical to neurodivergent - no we NOT all on the spectrum) - its a range of characteristics manifesting in different ways
You look beautiful! I love the print on your skirt. And the boots are exceptionally fly

Also burnout. I'm with you.
Uta Frith's claims that autistic masking doesn't exist because of a lack of research ignores a significant body of peer-reviewed research directly linking long-term masking to burnout, depression, and suicidality. It silences the voices of autistic people who have been sharing their experiences. 1/
This is a clever man with clever words if I do say so myself
A clustertriumph
That would go a long way to explaining why I loved my degree so very, very much 😂
Would you like to play my game? It's called "autistic or in need of a linguistics degree?"
Snap. Well, English Language. When I had an extremely tedious office job I entertained myself by making a spreadsheet of phrasal verbs. Thankfully I had a word with myself and went back to university!
Words fail me.
Oh absolutely that too 😂. But now I am bored in a semantics brainhole. Which I quite enjoy to be fair
Nooooooo banishment is the only solution
Yes. I think it's something to do with the semantics of "go" maybe?
Damnit should have thought of that 😂
I am now autistically bothered that I should have said "lightbulb switching on" and also now thinking about why, when alarms go off, they go on, but lights go off when they go off. But who am I to ponder, as we all know autistic people can't do metaphor (pls don't @ me. The last sentence was a joke)
Exactly what Hare said. It was like a lightbulb going off. And then I got to make friends with lots of wonderful people who are my kind of right. I have a place now. Diagnosis is a very, very complicated issue but for me it changed everything.
In entirely unsurprising but really not good news
You've missed the trick of being deliberately shit at something you don't like so you don't have to do it again 😉
This made me chuckle. I waged a 6 month cutlery drawer rearranging war when my stepmum moved in.
I bet you're great but it's so, so exhausting isn't it. Hypermasking. Hope your spoons return with a gentle tinkle.
It's so blatant! And you don't even get a mention in the text! Is there any way of calling it out or is it a life's-too-short situation? I'm honestly horrified.
I’m having a hard time putting words to my thoughts so for now I’m sharing @neurodivergentrebel.substack.com, thank you for articulating this so well 💜

Oh my actual god. That's appalling.
Followed you without hesitation for your mention of the Holy Snack
I love how different it is in the UK /s. People will open their windows to get the smell out no doubt. Speaking as a UK person.
