@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd Another question for both groups: do you find you have "spiky intelligence"? As in, you might be amazing in some areas like math, programming, etc., but struggle with executive functions. I'm good with a lot of artistic fields, but definitely struggle with organization, finances, navigation, etc. My wife and I compensate for each others' challenges.

@catswhocode @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd I read this as “neurospiky” instead of neurospicy for some reason 😄

@actuallyautistic https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cl447njkdy6o I haven't seen this but it sounds interesting.

@kkffoo @actuallyautistic “Another important aspect of the show is its representation of neurodiversity.
Smale wrote Geek Girl before she was diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia, but has retroactively described Harriet as having both conditions as well.” Interesting!

Mentioned to a coworker that I'm getting some books, for example on autism, and as they showed interest in the topic, proceeded to lightly info dump. Did give some space so that it was a true conversation. However, it reminded me of a thing I've been pondering.

As I present male, I've always been overly cautious of not mansplaining -- or at least ever since I learned about the term. Now that I know I'm autistic, I understand it's entangled with having learned that NTs don't like infodumping.

Whatever the cause, I have a tendency to stay silent even if I know about the topic at hand but aren't 100% certain that it's appropriate to talk about it. Sometimes it makes me sad.

@Tooden @felyashono @actuallyautistic it seems to me that disclaimers showing benevolent intent make messages from strangers a bit more pleasant, a lot goes a little way

"Neurodiversity and the Myth of Normal" by Kyler Shumway, Daniel Wendler, The Great Courses on Audible. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0CVBK3QVB?source_code=ASSOR150021921000R

Really nice introduction to Neurodiversity. Shame it is locked into Amazon/Audible as it would be great to share

@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd too

@edross @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd I’ve heard audible books can be extracted to mp3
