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).

@Richard_Littler @actuallyautistic Also the bit where the right-hand panel also contains some sort of running commentary as background noise on whatever I am currently anxious about/whatever I need to do tomorrow/composing a mental blog post I will never actually write down.

I hate getting messy foods on my hands. Is that an everyone who is autistic thing or a just some people who are autistic thing?

@tine_schreibt @JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic Oh goodness, yes, this, so much. Powerfully yes.

@nddev @tine_schreibt @JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic Exactly. It's like having a mental post-it note stuck to my hands with "GERMS" on it in capital letters. (Also some things where I am a bit phobic of the thing, or the thing upsets my senses inspire the same feeling, even if they're not actually a dirty thing.)

Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?

Warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Immatrikulation auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

Ein Aufruf den man nur unterstützen kann!

@srfirehorseart @radlschorsch @academicchatter @edutooters I don't think it's a policy thing - not aware of anything stopping e.g. a Biology department getting a Mastodon account - and more that the staff/resources around comms/social media can be limited, so they'll tend to focus on max. reach to target audiences (students/partners/funders), which means "trendy" and high traffic options like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. Not a lot of time to invest in nurturing a Mastodon.

Just a few things I struggle with:

  • Having to put on a vivacious, inauthentic display of happiness at a moment’s notice.
  • Having to adjust to a new item coming into my possession.
  • Finding somewhere to put it.
  • Potentially having to change my plans/do something out of character to use the item.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic

  • Finding I now have even more stuff when I already have too much stuff
  • Hyperempathising with the item and not wanting to throw it away/give it away in case it feels sad and unwanted
  • Knowing I will probably do it wrong and disappoint the gifter who will think I am ungrateful
  • Knowing I am probably expected to reciprocate but have no idea what item they would like and know that if I get it wrong they will be disappointed
