My life 🤪

Monday. Strong coffee. Nice flowers and standing up for science 🧪

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

Hey @rin.plus.dog this popped up in my feed and I thought you might dig it 🙂

Hey @tonymartin.bsky.social Have you checked out the 'Unf*ck Your Life with Tog Chesterfield' podcast? No live callers, but it has a Sizzletown vibe and soundscape to it. Cheers.

If you’re newly identified as autistic, you don’t need to figure everything out at once. You’re not behind. You’ve been surviving without the language, without the mirrors, without the support. There might be grief. There might be relief. There might be rage. All of it is valid.

It isn’t an autism epidemic or overdiagnosis like so many frustratingly loud and powerful people keep saying right now - It’s society getting better at identifying autism outside of white autistic boys - It’s autistic people being able to access knowledge that helps them realise they’re autistic

Autistic people don’t need to be “explained away.” They need to be understood, supported, and respected. Vaccines do not cause autism. This lie has hurt people for far too long. Let’s choose the truth. Let’s choose dignity for all humans. ✋ Raise your hand if you agree.

Sometimes what gets called “depression” in autistic humans is years of unmet needs unprocessed grief and the exhaustion of performing a self that isn’t ours. It’s not (always/only/et al) a chemical imbalance. It’s a survival response. And it makes sense. Look how we are treated.

Good morning 🌞

This. This right here

Dear Government and Press. Autism is neurodevelopmental. A form of neurodivergence. It is not a mental health condition, or behavioural condition, or a learning disability. It concerns me that people in charge want to slash benefits but apparently haven't the slightest idea what we are.

If you are on methylphenidate-based ADHD medication (Brands Concerta, Rubifen, Ritalin, TEVA) in NZ and haven't tried dexamfetamine or lisdexamfetamine - you may want to try as there are likely to be shortages for the rest of the year of methylphenidate medications.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Last year I made this video explaining overstimulation with noises as I try and understand my recent Autism diagnosis in my 50's. If you think this may help someone... please feel free to share. youtu.be/_C2QJPjS2a0?...
