Thanks, I've never watched this show.

It's really sad and worrying that this, I fear, is our new normal.

FMI: July was exceptionally warm, especially in Finnish Lapland Studies have indicated that Finland's climate is warming significantly faster than the global average.

"Finland also set a heatwave record last month, with at least one weather station in the country recording temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius for 22 consecutive days."

It was a certified record in Finland.

Really annoying wanting to repost images, but loads, if not most of them, are lacking the ALT text.

People do realise that adding it not only helps people, but it helps with their own engagement and reach, too, yeah?

Lots of important stuff is being shared. Let's include everyone, eh. #ALTtext

All the best for the surgery! ✨️ And sorry about you losing your dog ❤️

Meltdowns aren’t “bad behavior".

They’re a nervous system alarm.

If you treat the alarm as the problem, you miss the fire.

Same. (Apart from I'm a Finn and I don't live there anymore.) I find it unpractical. I need to be in charge of how I'm covered.

That's a big no from me.

Nope.

I had a yellow Lumia, don't remember which model. Still got it in the drawer. 😊

Yes, it's never as simple as A or B. Need more information!

Just before your post I saw this on my feed.

Me trying to fill any questionnaire at all. The questions always feel too vague, making it impossible to know which answer to choose. #Autism

The “struggle” you’re describing is SO common among Autistic people - nearly universal in my experience

“B-but - if they mean THIS specific thing than my answer is A

If they mean THAT other thing, well, then that’s different!

I can’t pick. I need more info.”

As long as social media stays fun for you x

another year later and I believe it more now than ever

If you can’t think of a single reason to get diagnosed besides the fact that you “need to know”

You know already, my love

It is you who will tell me about your beautiful brain and I’ll compare it to the list in the DSM / big book of problems

Friends, there are plenty of things RFK Jr. says and does that are worthy of contempt.

I am not on board with the “addict”, “junkie”, “heroin freak” narrative.

There are plenty of people in recovery who never go on to be sociopathic frauds, and they are worthy of our love and support.

Welcome Pack - Reframing Autism

My favorite might be the folks at Reframing Autism & their ‘welcome pack’

(adorable name. Welcome to being Autistic! You’ve been here all along.)

A bit annoyed I didn't turn off all the lights in the hotel room at night for the pic. But I was tipsy, so this is what I've got. 😅

I love Janine's instant ADHD like enthusiasm for things.

Watching Abbott atm and yes. (Sweet, funny show, btw.) #AbbottElementary

This is not a safe person. Please encourage other workers to block him here and on X so he can't profit off association with our community, or use that to target inexperienced workers. He's been called out numerous times for inappropriate behavior on X and uses being ND to run cover every time.

On this day a year ago. Taylor Swift Vienna 💔 These videos still make me cry, it was so moving to experience. We spent hours there. The next day even more people gathered in the city centre. My youngest is a huge fan, so at least she got to be with ofter Swifties 🩷

That's quite a coincidence! 🤗 We were there for ~5h, and I took many videos. So you may be in one. 😊 We also went to the gathering in the city centre the next day. After that it was home. All the Swifties were lovely. 🩷
