No, autism is NOT overdiagnosed. It is *under diagnosed*, especially in autistics who aren't white boys from financially stable families. Anyone who claims we are overdiagnosing autism is either misinformed, or cruel, or both. #autism #neurodiversity

I’ve been listening to the audiobook of Stolen Focus, and it’s become a hate-listen. It started out as relatively harmless self indulgent interviews with cognitive and behavioural scientists, but by the time he gets around to ADHD it’s a terrifying misunderstanding of basic scientific concepts.

A wooden carved and painted sculpture of a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on some nuts with a nutmeat with wings flying away into the sky.A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.

Owls in Towels @owls-in-towels.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
Before and after, 7 days apart. Rescued by a keen-eyed driver, this car-hit Australian Boobook was soon given an assessment, meds and time to rest before release. Want to donate to Mosswood Wildlife? mosswoodwildlife.org.au/donate Source: fb.com/147448698471... #owlsintowels 💛🦉
A Boobook owl is burrito'd in a two-tone towel that's peppery black on the inside and salty white on the out. The tip of a pale grey beak pokes past the fold of the towel, exactly like the OIT logo. The owl's eyes are a brownish yellow-green with a singular tube light reflected in each pupil. One eye is half closed due to swelling from his head injury, but this look could easily be mistaken for glowering... Owls that scowl.With eyes so wide they're practically popping out of their sockets, the same Boobook is once more wrapped in a towel in a clinical setting. This time the cloth is decorated with white stripes and alternating bars of pastel yellow, magenta and cyan, the latter of which is wrapped in a black double helix like it's the Rod of Asclepius. Fitting, given it symbolises health and renewal, and this owl looks both healthy and renewed (and extremely alert).

Introducing AND THE DARK WILL KNOW MY NAME a novel I'm currently #amquerying #querying 🖤Adult contemporary #horror 💙📚 🖤**68,000** words of neopagan witchcraft, murder, mental illness, and some romance #writing community reposts appreciated
skull with the words and the dark willk now my name. adult horror cj subko 68000 words fake texts over a picture of a witch doing a ritual. they read: witchcraft gone wrong. found friends and family. depression and self-harm. grad student stuck at home with parents. murders most foul. a supernatural killer, perhaps? pitch: girl interrupted x eric larocca 

Ash has just been released from a psychiatric hold following a suicide attempt, and her life is in shambles. Her parents are angry and overprotective; her best friend Kelsie has abandoned her for being too exasperating; and her graduate school work is suffering, bringing her to the brink of expulsion. Spiraling and overwhelmed, witchy Ash tries to put a curse into the universe, so that anyone who tries to fuck with her will hurt like she hurts. Later, in a moment of clarity, she recants the curse.

Then a man who ghosts her for a date is murdered. Surely it can’t be the curse she recanted? At first, she’s able to shake off the impending emotional spiral with the help of her therapy group friend Leticia and crush Dara. However, strange things continue to happen. Her window is broken by an unknown stranger. Kelsie’s apartment is broken into and Kelsie blames her. But when her skeazy professor is murdered right in front of her, she has to accept the facts—someone is stalking her and the people around her. Someone who looks exactly like her.

With the clock ticking until someone makes the connection between the murderer and Ash, Ash turns to her friends for help. To save everyone from the monster, Ash and her friends will have to work together to figure out what it is and how to slay it. But killing it might mean, for Ash, facing her darkest inner demons, the ones she’s been ignoring for years. If she doesn’t, it could mean the deaths of everyone around her.a woman screaming with the words reach me and contacts underneath. www.cjsubko.com
