What are the best free autistic support groups online?

They can try to tell you who you are, how you can behave, what you can do, who you love, what you can say - but they can’t tell you what to think.

It’s those thoughts that cause revolutions #PrideIsProtest

Netanyahu has sold Israel to Trump in exchange for personal favors.

Mr. Security indeed.

Even Palpatine wasn’t as cynically open faced horrible as Trump

Portrait in Florence allegedly damaged by visitor taking a selfie The museum says it will impose restrictions on selfie-taking in the future.

Do we need to add lessons on how to behave in museums and near objects of historical value to the primary school curriculum?

And yet, Israel is not an independent country whatsoever. Simply a piece in the puzzle of America’s interests.

Netanyahu has shown once and for all that he and his government are simply pawns of the American State.

No independent thinking whatsoever, just lap dogs.

In this case, it’s a good thing. Peace maybe can be achieved (for the short term) to the Iranian and Israeli people.

Puppy moment

It took Trump less than 48 hours to go from cheering on Israel to turning on Israel.

Fascinating to watch

Trump’s “forever ceasefire” didn’t even last the length of his nap.

What leverage is he holding over Netanyahu?

Exeter, pursued by a bear

so...we are all going to believe this fiction in a ceasefire after Iran held it for exactly...checks notes...3 hours?

So, it was all political theatre

Yet again

asking questions isn't aggressive

Trump proves himself to be a gullible dipshit more and more each day.

Autism isn’t a trend

Don’t wear a tie - anything that will take you out of your moment is a barrier

At this moment, I feel totally unsupported. I feel angry and disappointed at these who are meant to support me for putting their leisure and fun ahead of my basic supports needs. I know that this feeling will pass. That it’s more nuance than that. But right now that’s how I feel.

I imagine autistics fared better before phones and emails.

What is Minecraft about and why do people like it?

Do you feel comfortable and confident in a tie?

Or anxious and uncomfortable?

Yes.

When I did an internship in diagnostics regarding high functional autism, I was surprised to learn that the department was having trouble with persons who were scoring high on narcissism or antisocial traits trying to fake being on the spectrum. Given this excellent article, it makes even more sense

It’s a constant fight. I’m not sure it ever goes away, but it can get to a point of acceptance, albeit temporarily

I’m sorry. I’ve been there and will continue to be. I think many of us. It is horrible and violent.

I relate very much to this

Oxford opticians don’t discriminate against autistic adults and did what everyone should be doing in the first place

👏🏼

the evolutionary purpose of autism is so 45 year olds who are severed from the human spirit and experiencing prolonged ego death can hear a 3yo on the bus sincerely say "indeed, one might refer to me as an expert on many matters" before speaking about dinosaurs for 30 minutes and find it kinda cute

Beautiful poem
