Niamh Garvey<p>Tomorrow morning, approx 8:45 I will be on TV on Ireland AM talking about being autistic, autism in Ireland, and the book I edited Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of Autistic Irish Voices, published by New Island Books. <br>Channel Virgin Media 1. <br>Hope I do us Autists proud 💪<br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a></p>

We haven't the mental capacity to understand everything or everyone completely, and we always have incomplete information, and so we make approximations and work on the basis of those. Stereotypes, when they're both compassionate and accurate, can be helpful: for example, they enable us to respond to adults differently from the way we respond to children. They warn us that some people are more dangerous than others. I don't think <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/stereotypes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stereotypes</span></a> can or will ever go away.</p><p>But it's up to us to notice when stereotypes are racist, sexist, ableist or otherwise discriminatory. We must change them promptly and try to make good any damage we've done.</p><p>Edit: typo.</p>

calcifer :nes_fire:<p>I’m glad there’s more conversation around autistic <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>burnout</span></a> — that is, the way <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> interacts with stress in ways that make burnout different for us. </p><p>But so many of the presumably well-intentioned therapists writing about preventing it give the most ham-handed advice. Using a calendar does not help with executive function issues. Putting ear plugs in at the grocery store does not solve being forced to be in overstimulating environments without support.</p>

Scott Murray<p>Here’s a specific question:</p><p>A friend has an autistic son about age 11. One of his special interests is building his own computers from parts. But he’s just hit the upper limit of what he can figure out on his own.</p><p>Where would you look for support? Ideally like a computer hobbyist / maker / nerd who could consult with this child and help him along? Like a build-your-own-PC tutor?</p><p>Back in the day there were “computer clubs” like the famous Homebrew Computer Club. I’m not even sure if groups like that exist anymore. 🤷‍♂️</p><p>Thank you!</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergence</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BuildYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuildYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computer</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AutismParenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutismParenting</span></a></p>

Daniela Schreiter<p>Zum Autism Acceptance Month gibt es einen kleinen Ausschnitt aus meinem Comic „Lisa und Lio“: Hier erklärt Lisa gerade, wie sie maskiert.
 </p><p>Worum es im Comic geht: Lisa kommt an eine neue Schule und das ist besonders aufregend für sie, denn sie ist Autistin. Auf dem Schulweg trifft sie auf den Fuchs Lio, der aus dem Weltall kommt und gut verstehen kann, wie es ist, anders zu sein.
 Der Comic wurde 2022 mit dem Max-und-Moritz-Publikumspreis ausgezeichnet ✨.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Comic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Comic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/AutismAcceptanceMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutismAcceptanceMonth</span></a></p>
