I'm curious—how do we feel about any/all of the following labels? Are we ok with them? Offended by them? Have attitudes changed at all recently? I've noticed we don't all use the same vocabulary here.

• on the spectrum
• ASD
• has autism
• with autism
• is autistic
• Autistic
• Autist

Good news: the triage appointment for my autism assessment came.

Bad news: they want me to confirm but haven't provided any information on how to do that.

It's almost like they don't want you to be able to confirm or get to the appointment...

@alexisbushnell @actuallyautistic perhaps this is, in fact, part of the assessment. If you spend time figuring out what the phone number is and say that it was deeply distressing that the information was missing, then they will just go “okay, you are on the spectrum, zero doubt”.

@elonjet go fuck yourself Elon, the only reasons I don’t pin my hopes on your jet crashing, is that:

A. The crew is largely innocent, even if they should refuse to fly you around this way, like a jet is a taxi.

B. It is possible to survive such an incident.

C. That we would all then have to hear the media fawn over your car right wing, apartheid loving ass.

I saw a post on another social network that felt a little aggressive about people needing to learn to use tone tags (to which most of the replies were people who had never encountered a tone tag), and I found myself wondering... Do folks find this useful?

Honestly, I have a hard time remembering what they all mean much less use them as an indicator of what tone I should be applying to what I'm reading or writing.

My wife is due back tonight after being away for 10 days. I've done my best to keep the house in order, look alter her cat and water the plants.

I've even mostly managed a modicum of self care, remembering to eat (albeit junk and usually late) and keep myself healthy.

However, I have been left to my own devices and I'm notoriously bad with my executive functioning.

So, wearing this T-Shirt today to greet my wife when she gets home later this evening.. Just in case. ;)

@elonjet and that accounts for 4 times the average American’s CO2 emissions for a whole year, one just one trip this week. Elon needs to be stopped, he is a danger to mankind.

@elonjet 3.5 times the CO2 emitted by the average American in a year. Elon is a wasteful asshole, who needs to curb his consumption.

@elonjet this is as much CO2 as the average person emits in a year, just for one trip and he has made several each week.
