Everyone is like "oh yeah Neurodivergence <3" until they meet an Autistic person that doesn't fit their preconception of Autism and then it's fuck you actually

Deep Rest in Autistic Burnout: Demanding Luxury in a World That Puts a Price on Our Health When my body asks to stop, it is not an apology; it is an ordinance.

Deep Rest in Autistic Burnout: Demanding Luxury in a World That Puts a Price on Our Health

On file: Major Depression, cPTSD, Autistic Burnout (high), A.C.E. 10/10, LateDX, Senior. I don't "look it", but I struggle every day, all day long & I know full well:

This world does not care.

Urgent need? #Understatement.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

The Myth of the “Dumbing Down” Machine How AI Studies Erase Neurodivergent Minds and Why Assistive Intelligence is an Act of Cognitive Justice

I write about how AI is #accessibility for #Gestalt Language Processors in the #Autism community.

If you think you have something important to say about autism & you’re NOT autistic, I promise you, you don’t.

I can’t stand the discourse around autism right now in my country. ESPECIALLY from every single neurotypical “ally” who thinks their opinion counts for anything. Can autistic people be centered for once? If you think you have something important to say about autism & you’re NOT autistic, 1/2

It enrages me that they wave all practical applications away in favor of seeing what they want to see. It's also not lost on me that w/ every great invention for writing, there are people decrying the usage of that tool & claiming that those ppl whom it assists the most aren't worthy of writing.

I block and mute more writers here that complain about bad writing and AI usage than I have even run into either one of those things. 🙃 The slop and you are one, homie.

Truly! It's so stupid! I can't stand people's attitude towards AI usage. I get having ethical concerns about AI but taking your concerns and claiming that the people who use it means they are dumb or not working hard enough tells me so much more about them than it does AI

You don't have to be an avid reader in order to be a writer. Fucking stop gatekeeping. It’s so tired and ya’ll sound ignorant. Stfu and just let people live

Protests and boycotts don’t work anymore. We all have to quit our jobs.

“If you use AI to help you write, you’re not actually a wri-”

People are literally dying for what they believe in so tell me, how much do you believe this? Enough to die for it? No? Then shut up.

Air Paris has delayed our flight until the morning! Government shutdowns in America and air traffic controllers' strike in Paris still causing unexpected delays

I am so nervous to travel internationally today to Paris. I am pleased the air traffic controllers' strike ended. (Totally support them though! 🫱🏼‍🫲🏿) But nonetheless I am still extremely phobic about flying. Please pray for me or send positive energy my way. 🙏🏻🧿📿🌀

I can't believe I'm coming up on a whole year without #Meta apps. I'm so grateful I gave them up.

I cannot wait to be in Paris in a few days.

I’ve started over so many times I think my soul’s on its last draft.

I’ve started over so many times even Sisyphus said, “Damn.”

I’ve started over so many times my plot twists need a union.

I’ve started over so many times my life should come with an “Are you sure you want to restart?” pop-up.
