Lots of late-diagnosed #autistic folks experience this! How about you?

Wrote this #punk song a long time ago as a sort of punk folk diddy. Unmasking my #autism has helped me reconnect with my love for #music , especially punk and ska. Obviously this is a demo form - I was just jamming out on a synth over it - pretty fun.

I believe in the potential of all human beings to do fantastic things with our minds! What is holding us back is an #education system that is too reliant on compliance and not on developing skills. People still think that memorization and fact recall is meaningful learning - it’s not!

#neurodivergent people and #neurotypical people need support with understanding each other. This is especially important in #school and at #work …

A lot of #teachers seem confused when I talk about supporting autonomy, belonging, and competence… It’s a mindset. But there are some specific things that achieve it… However, it’s not the activities, but how you treat #students, moment to moment, and day to day. A single activity isn’t enough

Probably not a good idea - that's exactly what Trump wants to do, and it is exactly what happens in countries like Nicaragua and Cuba. Reliable access to government services is based on party affiliation or perceptions, and it causes distrust and erodes the fabric of society.

Now is as good of a time as any for them to FINALLY call #fascists fascists! Where are you #democrats? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - condemning #socialism in all of its forms? REALLY? Are you incompetent or dishonest? Or are you a fascist too?

People love telling us to “just ask for help,” but the moment we do, we get told we’re dramatic, demanding, or difficult. Or worse, ungrateful. And then they wonder why we shut down...

There are certain intense memories that I now realize were where my #autism abutted with #neurotypical norms. My 6th grade #teacher used me as example to teach the word #eccentric #nokidding #latediagnosed

Many of us look dysregulated when we’re actually fine. Excitement gets labelled hyperactivity. Passion gets labelled aggression. Directness gets labelled conflict. All because regulation has been defined through a neuronormative lens that prizes composure over truth.

Have you heard of the #neuroarchy? Think #patriarchy, except consider how that impacts neurodivergent people. Society privileges neurotypical people, white people, and males in particular. As if #intersectionality weren’t complex enough! Now we’ve got to smash the NEUROARCHY too!

I served in the #PeaceCorps in #Nicaragua from 2014 - 2017. I didn't know it then, but being #autistic made it a unique sensory experience for me. Sometimes the music and sights could be ecstatic. But somewhat more frequently they were overwhelming... In the end, the noise was essential.

It's going to vary a lot for me. Maryland Democrats tend to maintain majorities, but will lose the governorship to moderate corporate republicans here and there. I'm probably going to vote green in everything except the presidential election.

DW - (he/him/his) @dwbaltimore.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Yep - the national level and the Maryland State level are analogous. They don't represent working-class people. If they did, we would have a more robust and well-support middle class and working class.
