[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

My two work modes:

1) I've done 30mins of work in 8 hours
2) I've done 8 hours of work in 30mins

@Autistic_Lia i don't mock anyone but i'm sure i get annoyed at other autistic people for doing things i probably do myself in a slightly different way

[echo @exholalia17]

i'm impressed @NathanFillion managed to get his name in the opening credits of #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy because he wasn't in it for particularly long

[𝔸sh 🐅🍀 @ashleyann_atx]

Anyone who writes a really long email explaining things in detail is ND in some way. NTs give those one-two word responses or keep it short and sweet. I write novels. Is this an accurate assumption?

[echo @exholalia17]

i think yesterday took me over 450

[echo @exholalia17]

i know no one really cares about wordle and its variants anymore, but i got today's semantle in 27

[echo @exholalia17]

interestingly i've found myself telling people i'm having "gender-affirming surgery", even to people who i'm 99% sure would know what top surgery is

[echo @exholalia17]

wtf why does the @NHSuk website list cbt as a potential treatment for dyspraxia?

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

All chip shops are exactly the same there is no such thing and a good one or a bad one. It's loyalty to your local area that's the difference and that's it

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

Here’s to all the parents who learned that they’re autistic while going through the diagnosis process for their child. There’s something beautiful and poetic about how, in helping your child to learn about themselves and get support, you learned about yourself and your needs too.

i have a bone to pick with @Lin_Manuel... what is the relevance of this anecdote in @intheheights? yesenia/julio/josé are never spoken of again (i even checked the movie script to be sure), and the joke just seems to be "haha gay"

[echo @exholalia17]

@KittenSilkys @Autistic_Lia i'd like to add "willfully ignorant"

[echo @exholalia17]

@amboinreallife @sarahmariha but i've realised that this "potential" is more of a "you'd potentially be better at this if you were NT" (which also isn't necessary true because some of my skills in my field (programming) are splinter effects from my neurodivergency)

[echo @exholalia17]

@amboinreallife @sarahmariha i'm totally with you – i also quit due to burn out (among other things) and couldn't produce consistent work, etc., but i have so much "potential" in the sense that i'm pretty good at what i do.

[echo @exholalia17]

of course that's my luck, i've been binding on and off for like 10 years, and i get what appears to be a binding-related injury less than a month before my top surgery

[echo @exholalia17]

idk why but this very much amuses me

[echo @exholalia17]

someone i was at a meeting with tonight randomly said scooters (like, the non-electric kind) have been around for like 20 years and my immediate thought/response was: "that doesn't sound ri— that can't be true because of Back to the Future"

[echo @exholalia17]

@Mae_DayJ @TCM_tweets ooh yikes i have/have had all of those except trigeminal neuralgia! i wish you good vibes
