Nice! One of my all-time favorite birds.

Awesome! Didn't think I could love slime molds even more!!

Wow! What a wonderful shot - you have such a great knack for capturing light.

Everyone masks, gets anxiety, and burns out, but there's a very specific autistic experience of masking for survival, getting extreme anxiety from the masking but it also never quite being enough, and that leading to extreme burnout... that nonautistic people will never fully understand.

Thank you!

Such a great photo! One of my all-time favorite birds.

Fantastic!

Love this! An awesome drawing of an awesome fish!

In my last post I explained that to be diagnosed autistic/ADHD/OCD a person must be meaningfully impaired by their brain wiring when doing critical life activities.

We need to come up with better names for neurodivergent and mental disorders, because I guarantee people wouldn't call it fake if we called ADHD something like "dopamine deficiency syndrome," or depression "serotonin reuptake disorder" or whatever. It's exhausting.

Wow - nice!! Love the Stomiids.
