Can we start a radical optimism thread? Because I need a optimism thread. And I think you need a thread.

News. Quotes. Music. Thoughts. Whatever.

I'll start:

"You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time." --Angela Davis

If this gets any traction, please boost, especially the replies. You and I are not the only ones that need this right now.

If you've ever wondered what it's like being autistic with ADHD, it's a bit like this for me. (I always assumed everybody thought like this).

This is so accurate.

Agreed. It feels strange to have auditory processing issues, but also if I speed up the audio, I can understand better. But that's how it is.

Question on the bubble :

Some friends of mine who are on the neurodiverse spectrum ( and/or ) think I'm probably on the spectrum too. Their experience is that they get on better with people on the spectrum. They think that they like me is a strong indication.

What is your experience? Do autistic people have a "detector" for this characteristic?
Or is it really the case that you feel more comfortable with other neurodiverse people than with neurotypical people?

It's dramatically easier to relate and have conversations with other ND people, especially the closer they get to my flavor of ND. It's so much less stressful and much more relaxed. Communication flows so much easier.

And yeah, the mental 'detector' is not 100% reliable like other people have mentioned, and not every ND person is automatically someone you vibe with, anyway, but the detector is very apparent. But it's not just ND people that have the detector, it's just that they're more conscious of it. NT people have it, too, but their lack of consciousness about it can involve, for example, othering ND people, it's what leads to them labeling ND people as 'weird' or even into bullying, etc. Not that this is all NT people, just that these phenomena clearly demonstrate that NT people sense us, even if they don't understand what they're sensing.

Has anyone tried the Loop brand earplugs? Especially the new ones that switch between three different volumes? I'm considering them, but they're expensive and I'm curious about people's experiences. Right now I'm leaning on the fact that I can return them if I don't like them.
