#3GoodThings 1. Went for a nice cake and tea with my wife today 💜 2. Bob's Burgers! 3. It was a good laundry day! #MiddleAgedGlimmers! #ThreeGoodThings #Glimmers

Happy Autistic Pride Day - which is for all autistic people, by the way, not just LGBTQIA+folk. We have an Autistic Pride picnic every year, but usually have it a bit later to reduce confusion (Pride Edinburgh is this weekend). This year it will be on the 2nd of August, on the Meadows.

#AutisticPrideDay I've been struggling to articulate my thoughts about this. Pride is a funny one, complex. I fundamentally feel weird about taking pride in something I had no part in. It's not something I achieved, an accomplishment. It's a happenstance of my existence, like having brown hair!..

This is how I command a starship.

“It’s a lovely rest from having to think about the time I was 11 and congratulated a family friend on a pregnancy that turned out to be a food baby. Or the day I tried to join in a thing called ‘banter’ and made Ryan Wilkins cry so hard his mum had to come and get him from sixth form.”

Happy Autistic Pride Day! Our first event is our infodumping session this evening! You can sign up at www.auroraconsulting.scot/events/autis...

Happy and riotous #AutisticPride Day, everyone! autisticltd.co.uk/2022/06/18/a...

If you were on #StarTrek, which character would you play, regardless of gender? Answer with a pic/gif.

Well, I got the bad news from my job that I was getting let go. 😖 If anyone knows of any opportunities in the Austin, TX area (or of course remote), please let me know. I mainly occupy the IT Support/Cybersecurity/IT Management realm.

Are you doing anything to mark Autistic Pride Day on Wednesday 18th June? I'm looking forward to this free event from @auroraconsulting.bsky.social! It's an infodump session, so you can talk about one of your passions or listen to others share their joy. www.auroraconsulting.scot/events/autis...

#3GoodThings 1. Driving lesson went well today, tired but faintly more confident about it all. 2. Short stories; both reading and writing them! 3. Taskmaster #ComfortTV #ThreeGoodThings #Glimmers

Post a female character you love: I felt for Deanna when I was younger, and still do, really. But damn if Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed hasn't become a huge source of inspiration to me as I age!

Just a reminder that if you don't use ALT text in a pic I am very likely not going to repost it, no matter how cool/fun/amazing it is. Please use it; it helps people who are sight impaired, or who maybe don't know what celeb or movie you're talking about, or whatever. It just helps.

Star Trek, of course! 🖖🤣

Why the “all autistic people lack empathy” narrative is wrong… Autistic people actually experience empathy in a wide range of ways E.g. a study in 2023 found: - many experience hyper-empathy - some experience low empathy - some experience empathy but find it difficult to understand or express

Thank you, everyone! It went OK, refreshed basic turns and clutch control, be out on the main road next time. I can literally see I'm doing it, I want to do it, but my gut still churns with anxiety thinking about the next lesson...livin' that traumatised autistic life, right‽ 🤣😭🤯 #LearningToDrive
