saw a friend who i hadn't seen in 2 years, they didn't miss a beat when I would pull out my aac, or gesture, to communicate would be nice if more were like that they were also mindful of accommodating, not limiting, my needs around my cane use & pain
I avoided podcasts for years because my brain had trouble focusing on and processing the verbal communication, but yesterday, on a whim, I decided to try listening to a podcast at 1.5x speed and - *wow* - I found it so much easier to focus on and process what was being said. 1/2
For anyone who is like "what is hyperacusis?" I go through and explain a lot of different auditory conditions I experience in this post - autisticscienceperson.com/2021/01/12/how…
To clarify what hyperacusis is, it is pain/discomfort from loud sounds. Based on when I've asked this in the past, For autistic people, it can range from loud sounds feeling like an ice pick is stabbing your eardrum (what I get) to getting throbbing headaches/migraines.
Quick reminder of why I talk about hyperacusis so much specifically as an autistic person: The most recent research on hyperacusis is only in relation to hearing loss and never investigates the intersection between hyperacusis and autistic people. 1/12
Here's what happens when you post a photo with no alt text on Twitter, because I think some of you don't understand what I have to do in response. First, it depends on what device I'm looking at it. 1/

The policies encourage teachers to give students opportunities to revise essays or retake tests to show that they have met learning goals, rather than enforcing hard deadlines. latimes.com/california/sto…
2 days late, but thanks so much @TheCompanionApp and everyone on the #StargateAI livestream for the most hilarious evening I've had in ages. Watched it with two friends while eating pizza and laughing until we cried, repeatedly. 10/10 would watch AI-generated Stargate again! 🤣
Y'all can't imagine how great this upcoming season of The Mandalorian will be!!! Yours truly can't wait to see the finished work from so many talented writers, directors, actors & production people! "This is the way" #BePeace
Showed my therapist the pop fidget toy I was playing with off screen and she held up the jumbo one she had right next to her so anyway I think we're well-matched.
Pssssssst. Stop holding your breath while you scroll. Pass it on.

The most important tool you have is an open mind. How you expect a client to respond to you, or what a 'typical' therapeutic process looks like to you can go out of the window. You are here now, with this client, and what is important here is what they are experiencing.
ND ppl are likely to have been disbelieved and invalidated time, after time, after time through their lives before they meet you. These might be traumatic experiences. This means they may expect or fear the same from you. Respect that. Just be that different thing.
I am convinced that my therapist didn't need to adapt his practice to my ND because his whole philosophy was already grounded in believing me when I tell him who I am, trusting me as the expert in my own experience & worldview, and really valuing the way I think and learn.
If you don't look in the mirror and tell yourself "You are a priceless treasure" in an exaggerated Russian accent, like, is it really even a self-care routine???
