Do allistic people really need constant interaction with others? In person? It sounds horrific. I lived with other people for years. Often they want interaction. That's just brutal for the autistic mind isn't it? #Autism#autistic#neurodiverse#lgbtqi#ActuallyAutistic
@ideogram@actuallyautistic Gvt as well, opposite side of the planet but same King. ;)
Somehow they can talk effusively about Equality-Diversity-Inclusion and how important "these people" are to the organization... and on the same breath discuss authoritatively (with wide nods all over the room) on how they value networking and how they all need to push back on promotions (even on the technical path) until someone has developed better social skills. 🤷♂️
After 20 years at my current job - and 20 years of evaluations that say I'm wonderful, but need to work on my communication and social skills - they've come around. I told them flat out, if you interrupt me I'll be brusque, even rude. Schedule a meeting, let me know what it's about so I can prepare, and I'll talk your ears off. Don't spring things on me.

Many children with autism thrive on routine and predictability, which can make vacations challenging for them. Here's a story from USA Today with tips on how to plan a trip, choose an airline that provides accommodations for autistic children, and details on what to expect from an autism-certified resort.
Hot take: The song Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves is about a woman who has a delusion about someone who wants nothing to do with her. #music
“I’d love to say Walking on Sunshine relates to a significant event in my life, like walking out of my front door, seeing a comet and being inspired. But it’s just a piece of simple fun, an optimistic song, despite us not being outstandingly cheery people. We were a typical young band, insecure and pessimistic. We didn’t have big hair and didn’t look anything like a Motown-influenced group. We didn’t have any credibility or a fanbase in awe of our mystique. We were a second-on-the-bill-at-a-festival-in-Germany pop band. But we had this song.” — Kimberley Rew, guitarist and songwriter
