Meantime, a curious bit of new research. What do genetics teams call autistic people, in their papers? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Very oddly, they decide that calling us e.g. "ASD patient" is 'identity-first language' similar to autistic person. There's never enough tea in this mug....

This can get proper fun… the first time I did work for the US government I had to provide a license statement for every asset I used in a ~160 slide deck It’s part of why I love thenounproject.com so much. Everything is properly licensed & I don’t have to go hunting for details. So damn useful!

A bit early, but only a few flowers at the moment in grey, overcast Monmouthshire, Wales. It’s been about 3 degrees C for several weeks and I’m ready for some spring sunshine. #WildFlowerHour

Do I have any developer friends with experience of using Netlify Blobs? We’ve got a very simple backend we need to build and it looks like the right tool… but we could use a hand getting everything setup & started. Anyone up for a short project? Please DM me if you can help :)

"We do harm if we assume that unless a person has fluent language, they cannot know anything worth sharing, or that what they do share lacks meaning." On respecting and responding to autistic language and communication differences, from Louise: joyofj.substack.com/p/on-truth-a... #neurodiversity

happy february babe

This morning’s sunshine has reminded me of the word ‘philocaly’: a love of beauty, even in the smallest things.

La Vie en Rose: A Parisian dawn to start day 3 of my week.

What is autism? Worth a quick run-through of the modern understanding of autism, since so many teams are still using the outdated DSM-5 descriptions from 2013. So many changes in the last 12 years. This is all from research studies. Thread. It's part of wider neurodivergence, a brain difference/

Today I practiced 39 minutes of piano 🎹, chords are so confusing but I'm starting to have decent performance with some. Also today I played the guitar 🎸 for frist time! It was fun, I liked it! but my wrist hurts a little 😅 #Music #Piano #Guitar #ActuallyAutistic

magazine.utoronto.ca/research-ide... As someone who couldn't use speech (mouth-words) for social communication for the first ten years of life, and am still semi-speaking, this is so worth the time to read. How much 'behaviour' is boredom & frustration from low expectations, & lack of AAC?
